عَنْ رَجَاءِ بْنِ حَيْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَنْشَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَزْوَةً فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ لِي بِالشَّهَادَةِ فَقَالَ ”اللَّهُمَّ سَلِّمْهُمْ وَغَنِّمْهُمْ“ قَالَ فَسَلِمْنَا وَغَنِمْنَا قَالَ ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَزْوًا ثَانِيًا فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ لِي بِالشَّهَادَةِ فَقَالَ ”اللَّهُمَّ سَلِّمْهُمْ وَغَنِّمْهُمْ“ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ غَزْوًا ثَالِثًا فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَتَيْتُكَ مَرَّتَيْنِ قَبْلَ مَرَّتِي هَذِهِ فَسَأَلْتُكَ أَنْ تَدْعُوَ اللَّهَ لِي بِالشَّهَادَةِ فَدَعَوْتَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَنَا وَيُغَنِّمَنَا فَسَلِمْنَا وَغَنِمْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَادْعُ اللَّهَ لِي بِالشَّهَادَةِ فَقَالَ ”اللَّهُمَّ سَلِّمْهُمْ وَغَنِّمْهُمْ“ قَالَ فَسَلِمْنَا وَغَنِمْنَا ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مُرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ قَالَ ”عَلَيْكَ بِالصَّوْمِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا مِثْلَ لَهُ“ قَالَ فَمَا رُئِيَ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ وَلَا امْرَأَتُهُ وَلَا خَادِمُهُ إِلَّا صِيَامًا قَالَ فَكَانَ إِذَا رُئِيَ فِي دَارِهِمْ دُخَانٌ بِالنَّهَارِ قِيلَ اعْتَرَاهُمْ ضَيْفٌ نَزَلَ بِهِمْ نَازِلٌ قَالَ فَلَبِثَ بِذَلِكَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمَرْتَنَا بِالصِّيَامِ فَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَنَا فِيهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَمُرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ آخَرَ قَالَ ”اعْلَمْ أَنَّكَ لَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِلَّهِ سَجْدَةً إِلَّا رَفَعَ اللَّهُ لَكَ بِهَا دَرَجَةً وَحَطَّ عَنْكَ بِهَا خَطِيئَةً“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prepared for a battle. I presented myself in the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and requested: O Messenger of Allah! Pray to Allah Almighty for me to be martyred. But the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed thus: O Allah! Keep him safe and grant him honor from the spoils of war. As a result of this prayer, we remained safe and returned with the spoils of war. After that, on another occasion, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prepared for a battle. I presented myself in your service and said: O Messenger of Allah! This time, please pray to Allah Almighty for martyrdom for me. But the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed thus: O Allah! Keep him safe and grant him honor from the spoils of war. By the blessing of this prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we remained safe and returned with the spoils of war. After that, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prepared for a third battle. I came to your service and said: O Messenger of Allah! Pray to Allah Almighty for martyrdom for me. You prayed both times that Allah keep us safe and grant us from the spoils of war. Thus, both times we remained safe and returned with the spoils of war. O Messenger of Allah! Pray to Allah for martyrdom for me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed thus: O Allah! Keep him safe and grant him honor from the spoils of war. Thus, we remained safe and returned with the spoils of war. I presented myself in your service and said: O Messenger of Allah! Command me to do such a deed that if I act upon it, Allah will benefit me through it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Observe fasting, for no deed can match fasting. Raja bin Haywah says: After that, Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him), his wife, and his servant were seen in a state of fasting. Raja says: If ever smoke was seen rising from their house during the day, people would say that a guest or visitor must have come to them. Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: As long as Allah willed, I remained steadfast in fasting. Then once I went to the service of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! You have commanded us to fast; I hope that Allah has blessed us in this deed. Now, please command us to do another deed besides this. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Know that for every prostration you make for the pleasure and approval of Allah, Allah will raise you one degree and forgive one of your sins.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … From this chapter, the virtue of Sayyiduna Abu Umamah Bahili radi Allahu anhu is known. The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam sent him as an inviter to Islam (da‘i) to his people. He went and began inviting them to Islam. When he became hungry, the people of his tribe brought before him such food that is forbidden (haram) in Islam. They sat down to eat and invited him to eat as well. He said, “The person on whose behalf I have come has declared this forbidden.” He continued to invite them to Islam, and they continued to refuse to accept Islam. Eventually, he said to the people, “At least give me some water to drink, I am extremely thirsty.” They also refused to give him water and said, “You will die hungry and thirsty like this.” He wrapped his turban around his head and lay down in the sun in the intense heat. In a dream, Allah gave him milk to drink; after drinking the milk, he became satiated and his hunger was satisfied. When he woke up, his hunger and thirst had vanished. Some people said, “He is among your honorable and chief men, at least offer him some food, etc.” They presented food before him, but he said, “I no longer have any need for your food, etc. My Allah, Exalted is He, has fed and given me drink.” He showed his stomach to the people of his tribe; when they saw it, the entire tribe accepted Islam. He passed away in Hims in the year (81 or 86) Hijri at the age of 106 years. In the land of Sham, he was the last of the Companions to pass away.
