عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيِّ يَقُولُ إِنَّ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بَرَكَ بِهِ بَعِيرٌ قَدْ أَزْحَفَ بِهِ فَمَرَّ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَهُ ”مَا لَكَ يَا جَابِرُ؟“ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْبَعِيرِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ”ارْكَبْ يَا جَابِرُ“ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لَا يَقُومُ فَقَالَ لَهُ ”ارْكَبْ“ فَرَكِبَ جَابِرٌ الْبَعِيرَ ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْبَعِيرَ بِرِجْلِهِ فَوَثَبَ الْبَعِيرُ وَثْبَةً لَوْ لَا أَنَّ جَابِرًا تَعَلَّقَ بِالْبَعِيرِ لَسَقَطَ مِنْ فَوْقِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِجَابِرٍ ”تَقَدَّمْ يَا جَابِرُ الْآنَ عَلَى أَهْلِكَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَجِدْهُمْ قَدْ يَسَّرُوا لَكَ كَذَا وَكَذَا“ حَتَّى ذَكَرَ الْفُرُشَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”فِرَاشٌ لِلرَّجُلِ وَفِرَاشٌ لِامْرَأَتِهِ وَالثَّالِثُ لِلضَّيْفِ وَالرَّابِعُ لِلشَّيْطَانِ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that his camel became exhausted, sat down, and was unable to walk any further. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by him and asked: "Jabir! What is the matter?" He told the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) the whole story. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) dismounted from his own ride and went towards Sayyiduna Jabir’s (may Allah be pleased with him) camel and said: "Jabir! Mount it." He replied: "O Messenger of Allah! It does not even stand up." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Just mount it." Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) mounted the camel, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) struck the camel with his foot, and it sprang up. If Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) had not controlled and held the camel, he would have fallen down from above. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him): "Now go and reach your family. When you get home, you will find that they have prepared such and such things for you." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) even mentioned the bedding. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "(In the house) one bed is for the man, one for his wife, the third for the guest, and the fourth is for the devil."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … This too was a miracle and blessing of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, that such a tired camel would become able to walk energetically.
Imam Nawawi said: The view of the scholars of Islam is that the meaning of (this type of) hadith is that when people act in this matter beyond need and necessity, then it is for boasting, arrogance, and worldly adornment, and such things are blameworthy, which are attributed to Satan, because he is the one who is pleased with them, casts such whispers into people, and makes their actions appear beautiful to them.
