بَابُ: كَيْفَ يُجِيبُ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُ: كَيْفَ أَصْبَحْتَ؟
Chapter: How to reply if asked "How are you this morning?"
Hadith 1133
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ الْمَكِّيِّ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ: قِيلَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: كَيْفَ أَصْبَحْتَ؟ قَالَ: ”بِخَيْرٍ مِنْ قَوْمٍ لَمْ يَشْهَدُوا جَنَازَةً، وَلَمْ يَعُودُوا مَرِيضًا.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that it was said to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "How did you begin your morning?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied: "I began the morning in goodness; I am among those who neither attended any funeral nor visited any sick person."
Hadith 1134
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ مُهَاجِرٍ هُوَ الصَّائِغُ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَجْلِسُ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ضَخْمٍ مِنَ الْحَضْرَمِيِّينَ، فَكَانَ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُ: كَيْفَ أَصْبَحْتَ؟ قَالَ: لا نُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ.
It is narrated from Muhajir (may Allah have mercy on him) that I used to sit with a heavily built Hadhrami companion from among the companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him). When he was asked, "In what condition did you wake up?" he would reply: "We do not associate partners with Allah."
Hadith 1135
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا رِبْعِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْجَارُودِ الْهُذَلِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَيْفُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي أَبُو الطُّفَيْلِ: كَمْ أَتَى عَلَيْكَ؟ قُلْتُ: أَنَا ابْنُ ثَلاَثٍ وَثَلاَثِينَ، قَالَ: أَفَلاَ أُحَدِّثُكَ بِحَدِيثٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ: إِنَّ رَجُلاً مِنْ مُحَارِبِ خَصَفَةَ، يُقَالُ لَهُ: عَمْرُو بْنُ صُلَيْعٍ، وَكَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ، وَكَانَ بِسِنِّي يَوْمَئِذٍ وَأَنَا بِسِنِّكَ الْيَوْمَ، أَتَيْنَا حُذَيْفَةَ فِي مَسْجِدٍ، فَقَعَدْتُ فِي آخِرِ الْقَوْمِ، فَانْطَلَقَ عَمْرٌو حَتَّى قَامَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، قَالَ: كَيْفَ أَصْبَحْتَ، أَوْ كَيْفَ أَمْسَيْتَ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: أَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ، قَالَ: مَا هَذِهِ الأَحَادِيثُ الَّتِي تَأْتِينَا عَنْكَ؟ قَالَ: وَمَا بَلَغَكَ عَنِّي يَا عَمْرُو؟ قَالَ: أَحَادِيثُ لَمْ أَسْمَعْهَا، قَالَ: إِنِّي وَاللَّهِ لَوْ أُحَدِّثُكُمْ بِكُلِّ مَا سَمِعْتُ مَا انْتَظَرْتُمْ بِي جُنْحَ هَذَا اللَّيْلِ، وَلَكِنْ يَا عَمْرُو بْنَ صُلَيْعٍ، إِذَا رَأَيْتَ قَيْسًا تَوَالَتْ بِالشَّامِ فَالْحَذَرَ الْحَذَرَ، فَوَاللَّهِ لاَ تَدَعُ قَيْسٌ عَبْدًا لِلَّهِ مُؤْمِنًا إِلاَّ أَخَافَتْهُ أَوْ قَتَلَتْهُ، وَاللَّهِ لَيَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ زَمَانٌ لاَ يَمْنَعُونَ فِيهِ ذَنَبَ تَلْعَةٍ، قَالَ: مَا يَنْصِبُكَ عَلَى قَوْمِكَ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ؟ قَالَ: ذَاكَ إِلَيَّ، ثُمَّ قَعَدَ.
It is narrated from Saif bin Wahb that Abu Tufail asked me: How old are you? I said: I am thirty-three years old. He said: Shall I not narrate to you a hadith which I heard from Sayyiduna Hudhaifah bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him)? The story is that a man from Banu Muharib bin Khasafah, who was called Amr bin Sali’ (may Allah be pleased with him), and who had the honor of being a companion, his age was as much as mine is today, and I am today of your age. We came to Sayyiduna Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) in the mosque and I sat at the end of the people, and Amr went forward and stood before him and said: O Abdullah! How did you find your morning? Or he said: How did you find your evening? He replied: I thank Allah. Amr said: What things are reaching us regarding you? He said: O Amr! What has reached you regarding me? He said: Such ahadith which I have not heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). He said: By Allah! If I narrate to you everything I have heard, you would not wait for me until nightfall. But O Amr bin Sali’! When you see that Qais have gained power in Syria, then beware. By Allah! Banu Qais will not leave any believing servant except that they will either frighten him or kill him. By Allah! A time will come upon them that their control will be everywhere. He said: May Allah have mercy on you, what help will you give to your people? He replied: That remains upon me (what I have to do). Then he sat down.
