عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ فِيمَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ كَانَ فِي مَمْلَكَتِهِ فَتَفَكَّرَ فَعَلِمَ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ مُنْقَطِعٌ عَنْهُ وَأَنَّ مَا هُوَ فِيهِ قَدْ شَغَلَهُ عَنْ عِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِ فَتَسَرَّبَ فَانْسَابَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ قَصْرِهِ فَأَصْبَحَ فِي مَمْلَكَةِ غَيْرِهِ وَأَتَى سَاحِلَ الْبَحْرِ وَكَانَ بِهِ يَضْرِبُ اللَّبِنَ بِالْأَجْرِ فَيَأْكُلُ وَيَتَصَدَّقُ بِالْفَضْلِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى رَقِيَ أَمْرُهُ إِلَى مَلِكِهِمْ وَعِبَادَتُهُ وَفَضْلُهُ فَأَرْسَلَ مَلِكُهُمْ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُ فَأَعَادَ ثُمَّ أَعَادَ إِلَيْهِ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُ وَقَالَ مَا لَهُ وَمَا لِي قَالَ فَرَكِبَ الْمَلِكُ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ الرَّجُلُ وَلَّى هَارِبًا فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ الْمَلِكُ رَكَضَ فِي أَثَرِهِ فَلَمْ يُدْرِكْهُ قَالَ فَنَادَاهُ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ مِنِّي بَأْسٌ فَأَقَامَ حَتَّى أَدْرَكَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَنْ أَن
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: There was a man among those before you who was present in his kingdom. He thought and then realized that all of this would be cut off from him, and this kingdom had prevented him from worshipping his Lord. Then he withdrew (i.e., secluded himself in his house), and one night he left his palace and kept walking without hindrance until, by morning, he reached another’s kingdom. Then he came to the seashore, where he made bricks for wages, thus earning his livelihood, and would give charity from the surplus wealth. His situation remained like this until the king came to know of his matter, his worship, and his virtue. The king sent him a message to come to him, but he refused to come. The king sent another message, but he refused again and said: What concern does he have with me? Then one day the king mounted (his horse) and came to him, but when he saw the king, he began to run away. When the king saw him doing this, he spurred his mount, but could not catch him. Finally, the king said: O servant of Allah! There will be no harm to you from me. So he stopped until the king caught up with him and said: May Allah have mercy on you, who are you? He said: I am so-and-so, son of so-and-so, and the owner of such-and-such kingdom. I reflected on my situation and realized that all that is around me is going to perish, but it had kept me busy from worshipping my Lord, so I left that thing and came here, and now I am worshipping my Lord. Hearing this, the king said: In this matter, you are not more in need than I am. Then that man dismounted from his mount and left it, and the king also dismounted from his mount and left it, and began to follow that man. Thus, both of them worshipped Allah Almighty, and both of them prayed to Allah Almighty to cause them to die together, and then they both passed away. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If I were in the Rumaila field of Egypt, I would show you the graves of both of them by recognizing the signs which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) described to us.
