Hadith 3813
حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَزْهَرُ السَّمَّانُ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ عُبَادٍ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ جَالِسًا فِي مَسْجِدِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَدَخَلَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ أَثَرُ الْخُشُوعِ ، فَقَالُوا : هَذَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ , فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ تَجَوَّزَ فِيهِمَا ثُمَّ خَرَجَ وَتَبِعْتُهُ ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنَّكَ حِينَ دَخَلْتَ الْمَسْجِدَ ، قَالُوا : هَذَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ ، قَالَ : وَاللَّهِ مَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ ، يَقُولَ : مَا لَا يَعْلَمُ وَسَأُحَدِّثُكَ لِمَ ذَاكَ , رَأَيْتُ رُؤْيَا عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَصَصْتُهَا عَلَيْهِ وَرَأَيْتُ كَأَنِّي فِي رَوْضَةٍ ذَكَرَ مِنْ سَعَتِهَا وَخُضْرَتِهَا وَسْطَهَا عَمُودٌ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ أَسْفَلُهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ , وَأَعْلَاهُ فِي السَّمَاءِ فِي أَعْلَاهُ عُرْوَةٌ ، فَقِيلَ : لِهُ ارْقَهْ ، قُلْتُ : لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ فَأَتَانِي مِنْصَفٌ فَرَفَعَ ثِيَابِي مِنْ خَلْفِي , فَرَقِيتُ حَتَّى كُنْتُ فِي أَعْلَاهَا فَأَخَذْتُ بِالْعُرْوَةِ ، فَقِيلَ : لَهُ اسْتَمْسِكْ فَاسْتَيْقَظْتُ وَإِنَّهَا لَفِي يَدِي فَقَصَصْتُهَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " تِلْكَ الرَّوْضَةُ : الْإِسْلَامُ , وَذَلِكَ الْعَمُودُ : عَمُودُ الْإِسْلَامِ , وَتِلْكَ الْعُرْوَةُ : عُرْوَةُ الْوُثْقَى , فَأَنْتَ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ حَتَّى تَمُوتَ " وَذَاكَ الرَّجُلُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ ، وقَالَ لِي خَلِيفَةُ : حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا قَيْسُ بْنُ عُبَادٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ سَلَامٍ ، قَالَ : وَصِيفٌ مَكَانَ مِنْصَفٌ .
Narrated Qais bin Ubad: While I was sitting in the Mosque of Medina, there entered a man (Abdullah bin Salam) with signs of solemnity over his face. The people said, "He is one of the people of Paradise." He prayed two light rak`at and then left. I followed him and said, "When you entered the Mosque, the people said, 'He is one of the people of Paradise.' " He said, "By Allah, one ought not say what he does not know; and I will tell you why. In the lifetime of the Prophet I had a dream which I narrated to him. I saw as if I were in a garden." He then described its extension and greenery. He added: In its center there was an iron pillar whose lower end was fixed in the earth and the upper end was in the sky, and at its upper end there was a (ring-shaped) hand-hold. I was told to climb it. I said, "I can't." "Then a servant came to me and lifted my clothes from behind and I climbed till I reached the top (of the pillar). Then I got hold of the hand-hold, and I was told to hold it tightly, then I woke up and (the effect of) the handhold was in my hand. I narrated al I that to the Prophet who said, 'The garden is Islam, and the handhold is the Most Truth-worthy Hand-Hold. So you will remain as a Muslim till you die." The narrator added: "The man was `Abdullah bin Salam."
