Hadith 11698
عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ كَانَ اسْمُهُ زَاهِرًا كَانَ يُهْدِي لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْهَدِيَّةَ مِنَ الْبَادِيَةِ فَيُجَهِّزُهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”إِنَّ زَاهِرًا بَادِيَتُنَا وَنَحْنُ حَاضِرُوهُ“ وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُحِبُّهُ وَكَانَ رَجُلًا دَمِيمًا فَأَتَاهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا وَهُوَ يَبِيعُ مَتَاعَهُ فَاحْتَضَنَهُ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَهُوَ لَا يُبْصِرُهُ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَرْسِلْنِي مَنْ هَذَا فَالْتَفَتَ فَعَرَفَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَجَعَلَ لَا يَأْلُو مَا أَلْصَقَ ظَهْرَهُ بِصَدْرِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ عَرَفَهُ وَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ”مَنْ يَشْتَرِي الْعَبْدَ“ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِذًا وَاللَّهِ تَجِدُنِي كَاسِدًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”لَكِنْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ لَسْتَ بِكَاسِدٍ“ أَوْ قَالَ ”لَكِنْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَنْتَ غَالٍ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Bedouin man, whose name was Zahir, used to bring gifts from the villages to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Upon his return, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would also give him something in return. One day, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Zahir is our villager and we are his townsfolk." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) loved him very much. He was not handsome. One day, he was selling his goods when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to him. He did not see, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) caught him from behind and enclosed him in his arms. He began to say: "Let me go, who is it?" He turned around and recognized the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Now he tried to press his back firmly against the blessed chest of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began to say: "Who will buy this slave?" He said: "O Messenger of Allah! By Allah, you will find me of little value." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "But with Allah, you are not of little value; rather, with Allah, your value is very great."
