Hadith 201

عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَعْمَرَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ (رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ): إِنَّا نُسَافِرُ فِي الْآفَاقِ فَنَلْقَى قَوْمًا يَقُولُونَ لَا قَدَرَ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ: إِذَا لَقِيتُمُوهُمْ فَأَخْبِرُوهُمْ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ مِنْهُمْ بَرِيءٌ وَأَنَّهُمْ مِنْهُ بُرَاءُ ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ يُحَدِّثُ، بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ، فَذَكَرَ مِنْ هَيْئَتِهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((أُدْنُهُ)) فَدَنَا، فَقَالَ: ((أَدْنُهُ)) فَدَنَا، فَقَالَ: ((أَدْنُهُ)) فَدَنَا حَتَّى كَادَ رُكْبَتَاهُ تَمَسَّا رُكْبَتَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! أَخْبِرْنِي مَا الْإِيمَانُ أَوْ عَنِ الْإِيمَانِ؟ قَالَ: ((تُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَتُؤْمِنُ بِالْقَدَرِ)) قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: أَرَاهُ قَالَ: ((بِخَيْرِهِ وَشَرِّهِ)) قَالَ: فَمَا الْإِسْلَامُ؟ قَالَ: ((إِقَامُ الصَّلَاةِ وَإِيتَاءُ الزَّكَاةِ وَحَجُّ الْبَيْتِ وَصِيَامُ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَغُسْلٌ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ)) كُلَّ ذَلِكَ قَالَ: صَدَقْتَ صَدَقْتَ، قَالَ الْقَوْمُ: مَا رَأَيْنَا رَجُلًا أَشَدَّ تَوْقِيرًا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ هَذَا، كَأَنَّهُ يُعَلِّمُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الْإِحْسَانِ، قَالَ: ((أَنْ تَعْبُدَ اللَّهَ)) أَوْ ((تَعْبُدُهُ كَأَنَّكَ تَرَاهُ فَإِنْ لَا تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَرَاكَ)) كُلَّ ذَلِكَ نَقُولُ: مَا رَأَيْنَا رَجُلًا أَشَدَّ تَوْقِيرًا لِرُسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ هَذَا، فَيَقُولُ: صَدَقْتَ صَدَقْتَ، قَالَ: أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ السَّاعَةِ، قَالَ: ((مَا الْمَسْئُولُ عَنْهَا بِأَعْلَمَ بِهَا مِنَ السَّائِلِ))، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: صَدَقْتَ، قَالَ ذَاكَ مِرَارًا، مَا رَأَيْنَا رَجُلًا أَشَدَّ تَوْقِيرًا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ هَذَا، ثُمَّ وَلَّى، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: فَبَلَغَنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((الْتَمِسُوهُ)) فَلَمْ يَجِدُوهُ، قَالَ: ((هَذَا جِبْرِيلُ جَاءَكُمْ يُعَلِّمُكُمْ دِينَكُمْ، مَا أَتَانِي فِي صُورَةٍ إِلَّا عَرَفْتُهُ غَيْرَ هَذِهِ الصُّورَةِ))
Yahya bin Ya’mar (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I said to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them): We travel to different regions and meet people who say that there is no destiny. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) said: Now when you meet them, tell them that Abdullah bin Umar is free from them and they are free from him. He said this three times. Then he narrated this hadith. He said: We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when a man came, then he described his condition. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: “Come closer.” So he came closer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) then said: “Come even closer.” He came even closer, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Come even closer.” So he came so close that his knees began to touch the knees of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then this man said: “O Messenger of Allah! Tell me what is faith?” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Faith is that you believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and destiny, whether good or bad.” He said: “What is Islam?” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “To establish prayer, to give zakat, to perform Hajj to the House of Allah, to fast in Ramadan, and to perform the ritual bath of major impurity is Islam.” Each time he replied: “You have spoken the truth, you have spoken the truth.” The people said: We have not seen anyone who honored the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) more than this man, but it seemed as if he was teaching the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Anyway, he then said: “O Messenger of Allah! Tell me about ihsan (excellence),” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Ihsan is that you worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you do not see Him, then (know that) He sees you.” Each time we said: We have not seen a man who honored the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) more than him. Then he said: “You have spoken the truth, you have spoken the truth. Well, now tell me about the Hour (the Day of Judgment),” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “About that, the one being questioned knows no more than the questioner.” He said: “You have spoken the truth,” he said this several times. We found this man to be the one who honored the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) the most, then he left. Sufyan (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I have also received this information that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Look for him.” But the Companions could not find him. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “That was Jibreel (peace be upon him), he came to teach you your religion. Previously, when he used to come in a certain form, I would recognize him, except in this form (today I did not recognize him).”
