عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ فِي قُبَّةٍ حَمْرَاءَ (قَالَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ أَحَدُ الرُّوَاةِ مِنْ أَدَمٍ) فِي نَحْوٍ مِنْ أَرْبَعِينَ رَجُلًا (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ جَمَعَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ أَرْبَعُونَ) قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَكُنْتُ مِنْ آخِرِ مَنْ أَتَاهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّكُمْ مَفْتُوحٌ عَلَيْكُمْ مَنْصُورُونَ وَمُصِيبُونَ فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ مِنْكُمْ فَلْيَتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَلْيَأْمُرْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَلْيَنْهَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَلْيَصِلْ رَحِمَهُ مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ وَمَثَلُ الَّذِي يُعِينُ قَوْمَهُ عَلَى غَيْرِ الْحَقِّ كَمَثَلِ بَعِيرٍ رُدِّيَ فِي بِئْرٍ فَهُوَ يُنْزَعُ مِنْهَا بِذَنَبِهِ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I reached the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), he was in a (leather) red tent and about forty men were sitting with him. In another narration: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gathered us, while we were forty individuals. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I was the last to arrive. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Victories will be granted to you, you will be helped, and you will acquire spoils of war. Whoever reaches such a time should fear Allah, enjoin good, forbid evil, and maintain ties of kinship. Whoever deliberately lies about me, let him prepare his abode in Hell. The person who helps a people in their falsehood is like a camel that has been thrown into a well and then pulled out by its tail.
