Hadith 69
عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْيَشْكُرِي عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: انْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ لِأَجْلِبَ بِغَالًا، قَالَ: فَأَتَيْتُ السُّوقَ وَلَمْ تَقُمْ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِصَاحِبٍ لِي: لَوْ دَخَلْنَا الْمَسْجِدَ، وَمَوْضِعُهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِي أَصْحَابِ التَّمْرِ، فَإِذَا فِيهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَيْسٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ ابْنُ الْمُنْتَفِقِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: وَصَفَ لِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلٌ فَطَلَبْتُهُ بِمِنًى، فَقِيلَ لِي: هُوَ بِعَرَفَاتٍ فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَزَاحَمْتُ عَلَيْهِ، فَقِيلَ لِي: إِلَيْكَ عَنْ طَرِيقِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ، فَقَالَ: «دَعُوا الرَّجُلَ أَرِبَ مَا لَهُ» قَالَ: فَرَاحَمْتُ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى خَلَصْتُ إِلَيْهِ، قَالَ: فَأَخَذْتُ بِخِطَامِ رَاحِلَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَوْ قَالَ زِمَامِهَا، هَكَذَا حَدَّثَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جُحَادَةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَنْتَانِ أَسْأَلُكَ عَنْهُمَا، مَا يُنَجِّينِي مِنَ النَّارِ وَمَا يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ، قَالَ: فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ نَكَسَ رَأْسَهُ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ بِوَجْهِهِ قَالَ: «لَئِنْ كُنْتَ أَوْجَزْتَ فِي الْمَسْأَلَةِ لَقَدْ أَعْظَمْتَ وَأَطْوَلْتَ، فَأَعْقِلْ عَنِّي إِذًا، أَعْبُدِ اللَّهَ، لَا تُشْرِكْ بِهِ شَيْئًا، وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ، وَأَدِّ الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ، وَهُمْ رَمَضَانَ وَمَا تُحِبُّ أَنْ يَفْعَلَهُ بِكَ النَّاسُ فَافْعَلْ بِهِمْ، وَمَا تَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ إِلَيْكَ النَّاسُ فَذَرِ النَّاسَ مِنْهُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ: «خَلِّ سَبِيلَ الرَّاحِلَةِ» (مسند أحمد:27694 )
Abdullah Yashkari, may Allah have mercy on him, says: I went to Kufa to bring a mule. When I reached the market, I saw that it was still closed. I said to my companion, "If we go to the mosque (it would be better)," while the mosque was situated among the date sellers. We saw that there was a man from the Qais tribe in the mosque; people used to call him Ibn Muntafiq. He was narrating: "A man described to me the attributes of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, so I searched for him in Mina, but someone told me that he, peace and blessings be upon him, would be in Arafat at that time." I reached there, but when I wanted to come before him, I was told, "Move away from the path of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him." But he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Call this man, his limbs may become useless, what is the matter with him?" So I pushed forward and reached the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and held the reins of his mount and said: "I will ask about two things: which deed will save me from the Fire, and which deed will admit me to Paradise?" The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, looked towards the sky and then lowered his head. After that, he, peace and blessings be upon him, turned his face towards me and said: "You have asked a very concise question, but in reality, it is a great and lengthy matter. Nevertheless, now understand my words: You must worship Allah Almighty, associate nothing with Him, perform the obligatory prayers, give the obligatory zakat, fast in Ramadan, and whatever you like for yourself from people, choose the same for them, and whatever you dislike from people, keep them safe from that as well." Then he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Now move away from the path of the mount."
Hadith 70
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ آخَرَ) بِنَحْوِهِ وَفِيهِ: قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ وَيُنَجِّينِي مِنَ النَّارِ، قَالَ: ((بَخٍ بَخٍ، لَئِنْ كُنْتَ قَصَّرْتَ فِي الْخُطْبَةِ لَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتَ فِي الْمَسْأَلَةِ، اتَّقِ اللَّهَ، لَا تُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ وَتُؤَدِّي الزَّكَاةَ وَتَحُجُّ الْبَيْتَ وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ، خَلِّ عَنْ طَرِيقِ الرِّكَابِ))
In another narration by Ibn Muntafiq, may Allah have mercy on him, a similar hadith is reported, but in it, it is mentioned: I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Guide me to such an action that will admit me to Paradise and keep me away from the Fire." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Wonderful, wonderful, you have asked a very concise question, but it is a very great matter. (Nevertheless, the answer is this:) Fear Allah, do not associate anything with Him, establish prayer, pay zakat, perform Hajj to the House of Allah, and fast in Ramadan. Now, move aside from the path of the mount."
