Hadith 12267
حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ قَالَ ثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ قَالَ ثَنَا شَهْرٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنِي أَسْمَاءُ بِنْتُ يَزِيدَ أَنَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ الْغِفَارِيَّ كَانَ يَخْدُمُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ خِدْمَتِهِ أَوَى إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَكَانَ هُوَ بَيْتَهُ يَضْطَجِعُ فِيهِ فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَسْجِدَ لَيْلَةً فَوَجَدَ أَبَا ذَرٍّ نَائِمًا مُنْجَدِلًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَنَكَتَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِرِجْلِهِ حَتَّى اسْتَوَى جَالِسًا فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”أَلَا أَرَاكَ نَائِمًا“ قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَيْنَ أَنَامُ هَلْ لِي مِنْ بَيْتٍ غَيْرُهُ فَجَلَسَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَهُ ”كَيْفَ أَنْتَ إِذَا أَخْرَجُوكَ مِنْهُ“ قَالَ إِذَنْ أَلْحَقَ بِالشَّامِ فَإِنَّ الشَّامَ أَرْضُ الْهِجْرَةِ وَأَرْضُ الْمَحْشَرِ وَأَرْضُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ فَأَكُونُ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِهَا قَالَ لَهُ ”كَيْفَ أَنْتَ إِذَا أَخْرَجُوكَ مِنَ الشَّامِ“ قَالَ إِذَنْ أَرْجِعَ إِلَيْهِ فَيَكُونَ هُوَ بَيْتِي وَمَنْزِلِي قَالَ لَهُ ”كَيْفَ أَنْتَ إِذَا أَخْرَجُوكَ مِنْهُ الثَّانِيَةَ“ قَالَ إِذَنْ آخُذَ سَيْفِي فَأُقَاتِلَ عَنِّي حَتَّى أَمُوتَ قَالَ فَكَشَّرَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَثْبَتَهُ بِيَدِهِ قَالَ ”أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى خَيْرٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ“ قَالَ بَلَى بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”تَنْقَادُ لَهُمْ حَيْثُ قَادُوكَ وَتَنْسَاقُ لَهُمْ حَيْثُ سَاقُوكَ حَتَّى تَلْقَانِي وَأَنْتَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ“
It is narrated from Sayyida Asma bint Yazid (may Allah be pleased with her) that Sayyiduna Abu Dharr Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) used to serve the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and after completing his service, he would go to the mosque; the mosque was his home, he would lie down there. One night, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the mosque and found him lying on the ground of the mosque. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) nudged him slightly with his blessed foot, and he sat up straight. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "I see you sleeping here?" Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah! Do I have any home other than this? If I do not sleep here, then where should I sleep?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sat down beside him and said: "What will be your condition when people drive you out from here?" He said: "I will go towards Syria, for Syria is the land of migration, the land of resurrection, and the region of the noble Prophets. Thus, I will become a resident there." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When people drive you out from Syria as well, then what will be your condition?" He said: "Then I will return to Madinah; this is my home and this is my refuge." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When people drive you out from here a second time, then what will be your condition?" He said: "Then I will take up my sword and defend myself until death." Upon hearing this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled, placed his blessed hand upon him, and said: "Shall I not tell you something better than this?" He said: "O Prophet of Allah! Please do tell." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Wherever they take you, keep going along with them, until in that state you meet me."
