Hadith 12811

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: رَكِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِمَارًا وَأَرْدَفَنِي خَلْفَهُ وَقَالَ: ”يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ! أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ أَصَابَ النَّاسَ جُوعٌ شَدِيدٌ لَا تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَقُومَ مِنْ فِرَاشِكَ إِلَى مَسْجِدِكَ، كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ؟“، قَالَ: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: ”تَعَفَّفْ“، قَالَ: ”يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ! أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ أَصَابَ النَّاسَ مَوْتٌ شَدِيدٌ يَكُونُ الْبَيْتُ فِيهِ بِالْعَبْدِ، يَعْنِي الْقَبْرَ، كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ؟“، قُلْتُ: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: ”اصْبِرْ“، قَالَ: ”يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ! أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ قَتَلَ النَّاسُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا، يَعْنِي حَتَّى تَغْرَقَ حِجَارَةُ الزَّيْتِ مِنَ الدِّمَاءِ، كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ؟“، قَالَ: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: ”اقْعُدْ فِي بَيْتِكَ وَاغْلِقْ عَلَيْكَ بَابَكَ“، قَالَ: فَإِنْ لَمْ أُتْرَكْ؟ قَالَ: ”فَائْتِ مَنْ أَنْتَ مِنْهُمْ فَكُنْ فِيهِمْ“، قَالَ: فَآخُذُ سِلَاحِي؟ قَالَ: ”إِذًا تُشَارِكُهُمْ فِيمَا هُمْ فِيهِ، وَلَكِنْ إِنْ خَشِيتَ أَنْ يَرُوعَكَ شُعَاعُ السَّيْفِ، فَأَلْقِ طَرَفَ رِدَائِكَ عَلَى وَجْهِكَ حَتَّى يَبُوءَ بِإِثْمِهِ وَإِثْمِكَ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) rode on a donkey and seated me behind him, and said: O Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), what do you think, if people are afflicted with a severe trial of hunger and you do not even have the strength to go from your bed to the mosque, then what will you do? He said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He (peace be upon him) said: In such circumstances, refrain from asking anyone for anything. He then asked: Abu Dharr! What do you think, if death becomes so widespread among people that a grave is obtained in exchange for a slave, then what will you do? I said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: In such circumstances, be patient. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) further asked: Abu Dharr! What do you think, if people start killing each other and so much blood is shed that the place of Hijarat al-Zayt is submerged in blood, then what will you do? I said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sit inside your house and keep the door closed. I said: What if I am still not left alone? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then go to your people and stay among them. I said: Should I take up my weapon? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you take up your weapon, then you will also become a participant in the people's fighting. Your situation should be such that when you begin to fear the flash of the sword, then cover your face with your sheet, so that (the killer) returns with his own and your sin.
