حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَدَّهُ أَبَا مُوسَى وَمُعَاذًا إِلَى الْيَمَنِ ، فَقَالَ : " يَسِّرَا وَلَا تُعَسِّرَا ، وَبَشِّرَا وَلَا تُنَفِّرَا ، وَتَطَاوَعَا " ، فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى : يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ أَرْضَنَا بِهَا شَرَابٌ مِنَ الشَّعِيرِ الْمِزْرُ ، وَشَرَابٌ مِنَ الْعَسَلِ الْبِتْعُ ، فَقَالَ : " كُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ " ، فَانْطَلَقَا ، فَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ لِأَبِي مُوسَى : كَيْفَ تَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ ؟ قَالَ : قَائِمًا وَقَاعِدًا وَعَلَى رَاحِلَتِي وَأَتَفَوَّقُهُ تَفَوُّقًا ، قَالَ : أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَنَامُ وَأَقُومُ ، فَأَحْتَسِبُ نَوْمَتِي كَمَا أَحْتَسِبُ قَوْمَتِي ، وَضَرَبَ فُسْطَاطًا فَجَعَلَا يَتَزَاوَرَانِ ، فَزَارَ مُعَاذٌ أَبَا مُوسَى فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ مُوثَقٌ ، فَقَالَ : مَا هَذَا ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى : يَهُودِيٌّ أَسْلَمَ ، ثُمَّ ارْتَدَّ ، فَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ : لَأَضْرِبَنَّ عُنُقَهُ . تَابَعَهُ الْعَقَدِيُّ ، وَوَهْبٌ ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ ، وَقَالَ وَكِيعٌ ، وَالْنَّضْرُ ، وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ . رَوَاهُ جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ ، عَنْ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ .
Narrated Abu Burda: That the Prophet sent his (i.e. Abu Burda's) grandfather, Abu Musa and Mu`adh to Yemen and said to both of them "Facilitate things for the people (Be kind and lenient) and do not make things difficult (for people), and give them good tidings, and do not repulse them and both of you should obey each other." Abu Musa said, "O Allah's Prophet! In our land there is an alcoholic drink (prepared) from barley called Al-Mizr, and another (prepared) from honey, called Al-Bit"' The Prophet said, "All intoxicants are prohibited." Then both of them proceeded and Mu`adh asked Abu Musa, "How do you recite the Qur'an?" Abu Musa replied, "I recite it while I am standing, sitting or riding my riding animals, at intervals and piecemeal." Mu`adh said, "But I sleep and then get up. I sleep and hope for Allah's Reward for my sleep as I seek His Reward for my night prayer." Then he (i.e. Mu`adh) pitched a tent and they started visiting each other. Once Mu`adh paid a visit to Abu Musa and saw a chained man. Mu`adh asked, "What is this?" Abu Musa said, "(He was) a Jew who embraced Islam and has now turned apostate." Mu`adh said, "I will surely chop off his neck!"

Hadith Commentary:
The narration of ‘Uqdi has been connected (mawsul) by Imam Bukhari rahimahullah in the Book of Rulings, and the narration of Wahb has been connected by Ishaq ibn Rahwayh. The narration of Waki‘ has been connected by Imam Bukhari rahimahullah in the Book of Jihad, and the narration of Abu Dawud Tayalisi has been connected by Imam Nasa’i, and the narration of Nadr has been connected by Imam Bukhari in the Book of Manners.
The intent of Imam Bukhari is that Waki‘, Nadr, and Abu Dawud narrated this hadith from Shu‘bah in a connected (mawsul) form, while Muslim ibn Ibrahim, ‘Uqdi, and Jarir narrated it in a disconnected (mursal) form.
In this, there are specific instructions for preachers (muballighin): that they should not cause people to become averse, nor present difficult matters before them, and that they should work together in harmony.
May Allah grant this ability.
Amin, O Lord of the worlds. However, nowadays such preachers are very few.
Except those whom Allah wills.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
The word (أَتَفَوَّق) is derived from "fawaq" of a she-camel (naaqah). The meaning is that I recite the Qur'an continuously, day and night, at intervals. Thus, "fawaq naaqah" is when the milk of a she-camel is taken once, then she is left so that the remaining milk descends, and then her milk is taken again. In this way, her milk is extracted at intervals.
Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (radi Allahu anhu) used to recite the Qur'an in this manner and made it his regular practice, whereas Mu'adh ibn Jabal (radi Allahu anhu) had fixed portions of the night, some for sleep and some for recitation of the Qur'an.
In short, their sleep was also for the purpose of assisting them in standing (for prayer).
Sleeping with this intention is also an act of worship.
➋
It should be clear that gentleness does not mean being lenient in the prescribed punishments (hudud) and retribution (qisas), but rather gentleness in worldly and administrative matters. Because regarding the hudud, the command of Allah, the Exalted, is:
"And let not pity for the two (man and woman) seize you concerning Allah’s religion, if you believe in Allah and the Last Day." () (al-Nur: 2: 24)
➌
There is a special instruction in this for preachers (muballighin) that they should not make people averse, nor present difficult and harsh matters before them. They should work together in harmony, live with unity and agreement, and accept each other's words. However, nowadays such preachers are very few.
