حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : ”مَنْ أَصْبَحَ الْيَوْمَ مِنْكُمْ صَائِمًا؟“ قَالَ أبوبَكْرٍ : أَنَا ، قَالَ : ”مَنْ عَادَ مِنْكُمُ الْيَوْمَ مَرِيضًا؟“ قَالَ أبوبَكْرٍ : أَنَا ، قَالَ : ”مَنْ شَهِدَ مِنْكُمُ الْيَوْمَ جَنَازَةً ؟“ قَالَ أبوبَكْرٍ : أَنَا ، قَالَ : ”مَنْ أَطْعَمَ الْيَوْمَ مِسْكِينًا؟“ قَالَ أبوبَكْرٍ : أَنَا ، قَالَ مَرْوَانُ : بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : ”مَا اجْتَمَعَ هَذِهِ الْخِصَالُ فِي رَجُلٍ فِي يَوْمٍ ، إِلا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ.“
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Who among you has fasted today?" Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I have. He (peace be upon him) asked: "Who among you has visited a sick person today?" Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I have. He (peace be upon him) asked: "Who among you has attended a funeral today?" Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I have attended the funeral. He (peace be upon him) asked: "Who among you has fed a poor person today?" Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I have fed (a poor person). Marwan bin Mu'awiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that it has reached me that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When these qualities are combined in a man in a single day, he will certainly enter Paradise."
