Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 11119

عَنْ شَهْرٍ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ : بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِفِنَاءِ بَيْتِهِ جَالِسٌ ، إِذْ مَرَّ بِهِ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَظْعُونٍ ، فَكَشَرَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " أَلَا تَجْلِسْ ؟ " ، قَالَ : بَلَى ، قَالَ : فَشَخَصَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِبَصَرِهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ، فَنَظَرَ سَاعَةً إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ، فَأَخَذَ يَضَعُ بَصَرَهُ حَيْثُ وَضَعَ بَصَرَهُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فِي الْأَرْضِ ، فَأَخَذَ يُنْغِضُ رَأْسَهُ كَأَنَّهُ يَسْتَفْقِهُ مَا يُقَالُ لَهُ ، وَابْنُ مَظْعُونٍ يَنْظُرُ ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى حَاجَتَهُ وَاسْتَفْقَهَ مَا يُقَالُ لَهُ شَخَصَ بَصَرُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حَتَّى تَوَارَى فِي السَّمَاءِ ، فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ بِجِلْسَتِهِ الْأُولَى فَقَالَ لَهُ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، فِيمَا كُنْتُ أُجَالِسُكَ وَآتِيكَ ؟ مَا رَأَيْتُكَ تَفْعَلُ كَفِعْلِكَ الْغَدَاةَ قَالَ : " وَمَا فَعَلْتُ ؟ " ، قَالَ : رَأَيْتُكَ شَخَصْتَ بِبَصَرِكَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ، ثُمَّ وَضَعْتَهُ حَيْثُ وَضَعْتَهُ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ ، فَتَحَرَّفْتَ إِلَيْهِ وَتَرَكْتَنِي ، فَأَخَذْتَ تُنْغِضُ رَأْسَكَ كَأَنَّكَ تَسْتَفْقِهُ شَيْئًا يُقَالُ لَكَ ، قَالَ : " وَفَطِنْتَ لِذَلِكَ ؟ " ، قَالَ عُثْمَانُ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " أَتَانِي رَسُولُ رَبِّي - عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ - [ آنِفًا ] وَأَنْتَ جَالِسٌ " ، قَالَ : رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " نَعَمْ " ، قَالَ : فَمَا قَالَ لَكَ ؟ قَالَ : إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ وَالْإِحْسَانِ وَإِيتَاءِ ذِي الْقُرْبَى وَيَنْهَى عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنْكَرِ وَالْبَغْيِ يَعِظُكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ ، قَالَ عُثْمَانُ : فَذَاكَ حِينَ اسْتَقَرَّ الْإِيمَانُ فِي قَلْبِي وَأَحْبَبْتُ مُحَمَّدًا - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَشَهْرٌ وَثَّقَهُ أَحْمَدُ وَجَمَاعَةٌ ، وَفِيهِ ضَعْفٌ لَا يَضُرُّ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ ثِقَاتٌ .
Shahr states: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) told me this: Once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was seated in the courtyard of his house. Meanwhile Sayyiduna Uthman bin Maz'un (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by him, and he smiled, looking towards the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Will you not sit? He said: Yes indeed. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his gaze towards the sky. He kept looking towards the sky for a while, then he lowered his gaze until he rested it on the ground to his right. Then he began moving his head, as though something was being said to him and he was understanding it. Sayyiduna Uthman bin Maz'un (may Allah be pleased with him) was watching all of this. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had completed what he was doing and had understood what had been said to him, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his gaze towards the sky, just as he had raised it the first time. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept following it (the angel) with his gaze until it disappeared into the sky. Sayyiduna Uthman bin Maz'un (may Allah be pleased with him) was still sitting where he had first sat. He said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! In all the time I have sat with you and come to you, I have never seen you do what you have just done. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: What did I do? He said: I saw that first you raised your gaze towards the sky, then you lowered it until you turned it to your right side. Then you kept attending to that side and left me, and then you began moving your head as though you were trying to understand something being said to you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Did you notice this? Sayyiduna Uthman bin Maz'un (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The angel of my Lord came to me just now while you were sitting. He asked: The messenger of Allah Almighty? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes. Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: What did he say to you? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (He recited this verse:) "Indeed, Allah Almighty commands justice, excellence and giving to near relatives, and He forbids indecency, wrongdoing and transgression. He admonishes you so that you may take heed." Sayyiduna Uthman bin Maz'un (may Allah be pleased with him) states: At that time faith became firmly settled in my heart, and I came to love Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
Ahmad recorded it, and al-Tabarani recorded it. Shahr, the narrator, was declared thiqah (trustworthy) by Ahmad and a group (of scholars); there is a weakness in him that is not harmful. The remaining narrators of this report are thiqat (trustworthy).
