بَابُ حُسْنِ الْمَلَكَةِChapter: Good Treatment of Slaves
Hadith 156
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا نُعَيْمُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ صَلَوَاتُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا ثَقُلَ قَالَ: ”يَا عَلِيُّ، ائْتِنِي بِطَبَقٍ أَكْتُبْ فِيهِ مَا لاَ تَضِلُّ أُمَّتِي بَعْدِي“، فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ يَسْبِقَنِي فَقُلْتُ: إِنِّي لَأَحْفَظُ مِنْ ذِرَاعَيِ الصَّحِيفَةِ، وَكَانَ رَأْسُهُ بَيْنَ ذِرَاعِي وَعَضُدِي، فَجَعَلَ يُوصِي بِالصَّلاَةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ وَمَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ، وَقَالَ كَذَاكَ حَتَّى فَاضَتْ نَفْسُهُ، وَأَمَرَهُ بِشَهَادَةِ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، ”مَنْ شَهِدَ بِهِمَا حُرِّمَ عَلَى النَّارِ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the illness of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became severe, he said: "O Ali! Bring me a piece of paper so that I may write something by which my Ummah will be saved from going astray." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I feared that before I could bring the paper, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) might pass away, so I said: I will remember it myself. At that time, the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) head was between my arms. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) advised regarding prayer, zakat, and treating slaves well, and while saying this, he passed away. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed to say «لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُوْلُهُ» and said: "Whoever bears witness to both of these, the fire of Hell is forbidden for him."
