بَابُ هَلْ يَقُولُ: مِنْ أَيْنَ أَقْبَلْتَ؟Chapter: Should one ask: Where have you come from?
Hadith 1158
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ زُبَيْدٍ قَالَ: مَرَرْنَا عَلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ بِالرَّبَذَةِ، فَقَالَ: مِنْ أَيْنَ أَقْبَلْتُمْ؟ قُلْنَا: مِنْ مَكَّةَ، أَوْ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ الْعَتِيقِ، قَالَ: هَذَا عَمَلُكُمْ؟ قُلْنَا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: أَمَا مَعَهُ تِجَارَةٌ وَلاَ بَيْعٌ؟ قُلْنَا: لاَ، قَالَ: اسْتَأْنِفُوا الْعَمَلَ.
It is narrated from Malik bin Zubayd, may Allah have mercy on him, that we passed by the place of Rabdhah near Sayyiduna Abu Dharr, may Allah be pleased with him, so he asked: Where have you come from? We said: We are coming from Makkah or Bayt al-Atiq. He said: Was that your only purpose? We said: Yes. He said: Was there no other purpose of trade or buying and selling along with it? We said: No. He said: Now start your deeds afresh (Allah has forgiven all previous sins).
