Hadith 9501
اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِأَبِي قِلَابَةَ دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَأَبُوكَ عَلَى ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَحَدَّثَنَا أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَلْقَى لَهُ وِسَادَةً مِنْ أَدَمٍ حَشْوُهَا لِيفٌ فَلَمْ أَقْعُدْ عَلَيْهَا بَقِيَتْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ
It is narrated from Abu Mulaikh, he said to Abu Qilabah: I and your father, we both went to Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), he told us that he went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed a leather cushion for him, its filling was of palm leaves, but he did not sit on it and that cushion remained lying between him and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Reflect that the Leader of the First and the Last, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, is offering a cushion to Sayyiduna Ibn Umar, radi Allahu anhu. It is a separate matter that, out of respect for him, he (Ibn Umar) did not sit on that cushion. After such blessed ahadith, we should refrain from making such distinctions between lesser and greater guests, where elaborate hospitality is extended to the greater, while there is no one even willing to inquire about the lesser.
