عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَنْمٍ أَنَّ أَبَا مَالِكٍ الْأَشْعَرِيَّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ جَمَعَ قَوْمَهُ فَقَالَ: يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَشْعَرِيِّينَ! اجْتَمِعُوا وَاجْمَعُوا نِسَاءَكُمْ وَأَبْنَاءَكُمْ أُعَلِّمُكُمْ صَلَاةَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الَّتِي كَانَ يُصَلِّي لَنَا بِالْمَدِينَةِ، فَاجْتَمَعُوا وَجَمَعُوا نِسَاءَهُمْ وَأَبْنَاءَهُمْ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَأَرَاهُمْ كَيْفَ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَأَحْصَى الْوَضُوءَ إِلَى أَمَاكِنِهِ حَتَّى لَمَّا أَنْ فَاءَ الْفَيْءُ وَانْكَسَرَ الظِّلُّ قَامَ فَأَذَّنَ فَصَفَّ الرِّجَالَ فِي أَدْنَى الصَّفِّ، وَصَفَّ الْوِلْدَانَ خَلْفَهُمْ، وَصَفَّ النِّسَاءَ خَلْفَ الْوِلْدَانِ، ثُمَّ أَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ، فَتَقَدَّمَ فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ فَكَبَّرَ، فَقَرَأَ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَةٍ يُسِرُّهَا، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَرَكَعَ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ وَاسْتَوَى قَائِمًا، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ وَخَرَّ سَاجِدًا ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَسَجَدَ، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَانْتَهَضَ قَائِمًا، فَكَانَ تَكْبِيرُهُ فِي أَوَّلَ رَكْعَةٍ سِتِّ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ وَكَبَّرَ حِينَ قَامَ إِلَى الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ أَقْبَلَ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ بِوَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ: احْفَظُوا تَكْبِيرِي، وَتَعَلَّمُوا رُكُوعِي وَسُجُودِي، فَإِنَّهَا صَلَاةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الَّتِي كَانَ يُصَلِّي لَنَا كَذَا السَّاعَةَ مِنَ النَّهَارِ ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ أَقْبَلَ إِلَى النَّاسِ بِوَجْهِهِ، فَقَالَ: ((يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اسْمَعُوا وَاعْقِلُوا وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عِبَادًا لَيْسُوا بِأَنْبِيَاءَ وَلَا شُهَدَاءَ، يَغْبِطُهُمْ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ وَالشُّهَدَاءُ عَلَى مَجَالِسِهِمْ وَقُرْبِهِمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ)) فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ مِنْ قَاصِيَةِ النَّاسِ وَأَلْوَى بِيَدِهِ إِلَى نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ! نَاسٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ لَيْسُوا بِأَنْبِيَاءَ وَلَا شُهَدَاءَ يَغْبِطُهُمُ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ وَالشُّهَدَاءُ عَلَى مَجَالِسِهِمْ وَقُرْبِهِمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ، انْعَتْهُمْ لَنَا يَعْنِي صِفْهُمْ لَنَا، فَسُرَّ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِسُؤَالِ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((هُمْ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَفْنَاءِ النَّاسِ وَنَوَازِعِ الْقَبَائِلِ لَمْ تَصِلْ بَيْنَهُمْ أَرْحَامٌ مُتَقَارِبَةٌ، تَحَابُّوا فِي اللَّهِ وَتَصَافُوا، يَضَعُ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَنَابِرَ مِنْ نُورٍ فَيُجْلِسُهُمْ عَلَيْهَا، فَيَجْعَلُ وُجُوهَهُمْ نُورًا وَثِيَابَهُمْ نُورًا، يَفْزَعُ النَّاسُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلَا يَفْزَعُونَ، وَهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ اللَّهِ الَّذِينَ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا يَحْزَنُونَ))
Abdur Rahman bin Ghanm says that Sayyiduna Abu Malik Ash’ari (may Allah be pleased with him) gathered his people and said: O group of Ash’aris! Gather yourselves and also gather your women and children, I will teach you the prayer of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) which he used to teach us in Madinah. So they gathered and also gathered their women and children. Sayyiduna Abu Malik Ash’ari (may Allah be pleased with him) performed ablution and showed them how he performed ablution, he made the water reach all the parts of ablution thoroughly. Then when the shadow (from the west to the east) returned and the shadow inclined, he stood up and gave the (Dhuhr) adhan, then he formed the row of men at the front, behind them the row of boys, and behind the boys the row of women, then after saying the iqamah he stood at the front, raised his hands and said the takbir, then recited Surah Al-Fatihah and another surah quietly, then said the takbir and bowed (ruku’), recited “Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi” three times, then said “Sami’ Allahu liman hamidah” and stood up straight, then said the takbir and prostrated (sajdah), then said the takbir and raised his head (from sajdah), then said the takbir and prostrated, then said the takbir and stood up, in the first rak’ah he had a total of six takbirs. When he stood for the second rak’ah, he said the takbir. When he completed his prayer, he turned to his people and said: Remember my takbirs, and understand this bowing and prostration, because this is the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) which he used to teach us at this time of the day. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) completed his prayer, he turned his face towards the people and said: O people! Listen, understand, and know that there are servants of Allah who are neither prophets nor martyrs, but due to their status and closeness to Allah, even the prophets and martyrs will envy them. A Bedouin from among the distant people came and pointed with his hand towards the Prophet of Allah and said: O Prophet of Allah! Some people among the people, who are neither prophets nor martyrs, but due to their status and closeness to Allah, even the prophets and martyrs will envy them, please describe their qualities to us. The face of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) became happy due to the question of the Bedouin, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: They are unknown people, who have come out from various tribes, there are no close relationships among them, but they love each other only for the sake of Allah and are sincere to one another, on the Day of Resurrection Allah will place pulpits of light for them and seat them upon them, and will make their faces and clothes light, on the Day of Resurrection people will be afraid, but they will not be afraid, rather they are the friends (awliya) of Allah, upon whom there will be no fear nor will they grieve.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … This hadith is weak, but its last part is authentic due to the following corroborating narration. It is narrated from Abdullah ibn Umar radi Allahu anhu, who says that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: “Indeed, Allah has servants who are neither prophets nor martyrs, yet the prophets and martyrs will envy them on the Day of Resurrection because of their closeness to Allah Most High and their position with Him.” Then a Bedouin sat down on his knees and said, “O Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam! Describe them to us and make them clear to us.” He said: “They are people from the common folk, from various scattered tribes, who befriended each other for the sake of Allah, and loved one another for His sake. On the Day of Resurrection, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, will place for them pulpits of light. People will be afraid, but they will not be afraid. They are the friends (awliya) of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, those about whom {لَاخَوْفٌ عَلَیْھِمْ وَلَا ھُمْ یَحْزَنُوْنَ} (the divine statement) applies: ‘Upon them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.’” (Al-Mustadrak al-Hakim: 4/170, Sahihah: 3464)
Some of Allah’s servants are such that they are neither prophets nor martyrs, but the martyrs and prophets will envy them; the reason for this is their closeness to Allah Most High and their gathering with Him. A Bedouin sat down on his knees and said, “O Messenger of Allah! Describe their qualities for us and clarify them for us.” He sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: “They will be people of unknown lineage from unfamiliar tribes, who will have mutual friendship for the sake of Allah Most High and will love one another for His sake. On the Day of Resurrection, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, will place pulpits of light for them. Other people will be fearful, but they will have no fear. These are the friends (awliya) of Allah Most High, about whom (according to the divine statement) there shall be no fear upon them, nor shall they grieve.”
Takhrij: … Al-Hakim narrated it in Al-Mustadrak: 4/170.
