Hadith 10858
عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَتْ لَمَّا وَقَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِذِي طُوًى قَالَ أَبُو قُحَافَةَ لِابْنَةٍ لَهُ مِنْ أَصْغَرِ وَلَدِهِ أَيْ بُنَيَّةُ اظْهَرِي بِي عَلَى أَبِي قُبَيْسٍ قَالَتْ وَقَدْ كُفَّ بَصَرُهُ قَالَتْ فَأَشْرَفْتُ بِهِ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا بُنَيَّةُ مَاذَا تَرَيْنَ قَالَتْ أَرَى سَوَادًا مُجْتَمِعًا قَالَ تِلْكَ الْخَيْلُ قَالَتْ وَأَرَى رَجُلًا يَسْعَى بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ السَّوَادِ مُقْبِلًا وَمُدْبِرًا قَالَ يَا بُنَيَّةُ ذَلِكَ الْوَازِعُ يَعْنِي الَّذِي يَأْمُرُ الْخَيْلَ وَيَتَقَدَّمُ إِلَيْهَا ثُمَّ قَالَتْ قَدْ وَاللَّهِ انْتَشَرَ السَّوَادُ فَقَالَ قَدْ وَاللَّهِ إِذَا دَفَعَتِ الْخَيْلُ فَأَسْرِعِي بِي إِلَى بَيْتِي فَانْحَطَّتْ بِهِ وَتَلَقَّاهُ الْخَيْلُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَصِلَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ وَفِي عُنُقِ الْجَارِيَةِ طَوْقٌ لَهَا مِنْ وَرِقٍ فَتَلَقَّاهُ الرَّجُلُ فَاقْتَلَعَهُ مِنْ عُنُقِهَا قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَكَّةَ وَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ أَتَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِأَبِيهِ يَعُودُهُ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ هَلَّا تَرَكْتَ الشَّيْخَ فِي بَيْتِهِ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَنَا آتِيهِ فِيهِ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هُوَ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ أَنْ تَمْشِيَ أَنْتَ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ فَأَجْلَسَهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ صَدْرَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ أَسْلِمْ فَأَسْلَمَ وَدَخَلَ بِهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَرَأْسُهُ كَأَنَّهُ ثَغَامَةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَيِّرُوا هَذَا مِنْ شَعْرِهِ ثُمَّ قَامَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ أُخْتِهِ فَقَالَ أَنْشُدُ بِاللَّهِ وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ طَوْقَ أُخْتِي فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ أَحَدٌ فَقَالَ يَا أُخَيَّةُ احْتَسِبِي طَوْقَكِ
It is narrated from Sayyida Asma bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stayed at Dhi Tuwa, Abu Quhafa said to his youngest daughter: "Daughter! Take me to Mount Abi Qubais." At that time, he had become blind. She narrates: I took him up the mountain. He said: "Daughter, what do you see?" The daughter said: "I see a gathered army." He said: "These are horses." She said: "I see a man running back and forth among the armies." He said: "Daughter! This man is giving instructions to the horsemen." Then, by Allah, she saw that the army scattered. He said: "By Allah, now the horses have started running. Quickly take me home." I brought him down the mountain, and before he reached home, he met the horsemen. There was a silver necklace around the girl's neck; a man grabbed it and took it off her neck. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered Makkah and entered Masjid al-Haram, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) brought his father's hand and presented him to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw him coming like this, he said: "You could have let the elder stay at home; I would have gone to him myself." But Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah! He is more deserving to come to you than for you to go to him." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) seated Abu Quhafa (may Allah be pleased with him) in front of him, placed his hand on his chest, and said: "Enter Islam." So he accepted Islam. When Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) brought his father to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), his hair had become white like the Thaghamah herb due to old age. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Change the whiteness of his hair." Then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up holding his sister's hand and said: "O people! I ask you by Allah and Islam, whoever has my sister's necklace, let him return it." But when no one responded affirmatively, he said: "Sister! Hope for reward from Allah for being deprived of the necklace."
