بَابُ يَتَخَطَّى إِلَى صَاحِبِ الْمَجْلِسِChapter: Stepping over to reach a companion
Hadith 1143
حَدَّثَنَا بَيَانُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْمُزَنِيُّ هُوَ صَالِحُ بْنُ رُسْتُمَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا طُعِنَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كُنْتُ فِيمَنْ حَمَلَهُ حَتَّى أَدْخَلْنَاهُ الدَّارَ، فَقَالَ لِي: يَا ابْنَ أَخِي، اذْهَبْ فَانْظُرْ مَنْ أَصَابَنِي، وَمَنْ أَصَابَ مَعِي، فَذَهَبْتُ فَجِئْتُ لِأُخْبِرُهُ، فَإِذَا الْبَيْتُ مَلْآنُ، فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَتَخَطَّى رِقَابَهُمْ، وَكُنْتُ حَدِيثَ السِّنِّ، فَجَلَسْتُ، وَكَانَ يَأْمُرُ إِذَا أَرْسَلَ أَحَدًا بِالْحَاجَةِ أَنْ يُخْبِرَهُ بِهَا، وَإِذَا هُوَ مُسَجًّى، وَجَاءَ كَعْبٌ فَقَالَ: وَاللَّهِ لَئِنْ دَعَا أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لَيُبْقِيَنَّهُ اللَّهُ وَلَيَرْفَعَنَّهُ لِهَذِهِ الأُمَّةِ حَتَّى يَفْعَلَ فِيهَا كَذَا وَكَذَا، حَتَّى ذَكَرَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ فَسَمَّى وَكَنَّى، قُلْتُ: أُبَلِّغُهُ مَا تَقُولُ؟ قَالَ: مَا قُلْتُ إِلاَّ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ تُبَلِّغَهُ، فَتَشَجَّعْتُ فَقُمْتُ، فَتَخَطَّيْتُ رِقَابَهُمْ حَتَّى جَلَسْتُ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ، قُلْتُ: إِنَّكَ أَرْسَلَتْنِي بِكَذَا، وَأَصَابَ مَعَكَ كَذَا، ثَلاَثَةَ عَشَرَ، وَأَصَابَ كُلَيْبًا الْجَزَّارَ وَهُوَ يَتَوَضَّأُ عِنْدَ الْمِهْرَاسِ، وَإنّ َ كَعْبًا يَحْلِفُ بِاللَّهِ بِكَذَا، فَقَالَ: ادْعُوا كَعْبًا، فَدُعِيَ، فَقَالَ: مَا تَقُولُ؟ قَالَ: أَقُولُ كَذَا وَكَذَا، قَالَ: لَا وَاللَّهِ لاَ أَدْعُو، وَلَكِنْ شَقِيٌّ عُمَرُ إِنْ لَمْ يَغْفِرِ اللَّهُ لَهُ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was wounded, I was among those who carried him to his house. He said to me: "My nephew! Go and see who has wounded me and who else has been wounded along with me." So I went and returned to find the house full. I disliked stepping over people's necks, and I was young, so I sat down. Whenever Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) sent someone for a task, he would order that he be informed of the matter. He was wrapped in cloth when Sayyiduna Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) came and said: "By Allah! If the Commander of the Believers prays, Allah will surely grant him life, and will surely grant elevation to this Ummah through him, until they will do such and such." He mentioned the hypocrites and named some and indicated about others. I said: "Shall I tell him what you said?" He said: "The very purpose of my telling you is that you convey this to him." So I gathered courage, stood up, and stepped over people's necks until I sat by the head of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). I said: "You sent me for such and such task, and along with you, such and such thirteen men have been wounded, and Kulaib the butcher was also struck with a spear while he was performing ablution by the stone tub. And Ka'b is swearing by Allah and saying this." He said: "Call Ka'b to me." So he was called, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "What do you say?" He said: "I say this." He said: "No, by Allah, I will not pray, but Umar is wretched if Allah does not forgive him."
