Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 11128

عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ : لَمَّا مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِالْحِجْرِ قَالَ : " لَا تَسْأَلُوا الْآيَاتِ فَقَدْ سَأَلَهَا قَوْمُ صَالِحٍ ، فَكَانَتْ تَرِدُ مِنْ هَذَا الْفَجِّ ، فَعَتَوْا عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ فَعَقَرُوهَا [ فَكَانَتْ تَشْرَبُ مَاءَهُمْ يَوْمًا ، وَيَشْرَبُونَ لَبَنَهَا يَوْمًا ، فَعَقَرُوهَا ] ، فَأَخَذَتْهُمْ صَيْحَةٌ أَهَمَدَ اللَّهُ مَنْ تَحْتَ أَدِيمِ السَّمَاءِ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا رَجُلًا وَاحِدًا كَانَ فِي حَرَمِ اللَّهِ " . قِيلَ : مَنْ هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " أَبُو رِغَالٍ ، فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ مِنَ الْحَرَمِ أَصَابَهُ مَا أَصَابَ قَوْمَهُ " . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالْبَزَّارُ ، وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ أَتَمَّ مِنْهُ ، وَتَقَدَّمَ فِي سُورَةِ هُودٍ ، وَرِجَالُ أَحْمَدَ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) states: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by al-Hijr, he said: Do not ask for signs, for the people of Sayyiduna Salih (peace be upon him) asked for signs; that she-camel used to come here by this path. They disobeyed the command of their Lord and hamstrung that she-camel; for she would drink their water on one particular day, and they would drink her milk on one particular day, so they hamstrung her. Then a mighty blast seized them, and Allah Almighty destroyed all of them who were beneath the sky, except one man who was in the Sanctuary of Allah. It was asked: O Messenger of Allah, who was he? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He was Abu Righal, and when he left the bounds of the Sanctuary, the same thing befell him that had befallen his people.
Ahmad and al-Bazzar recorded it; al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat as a more complete narration than this, which has already passed in the chapter on Surah Hud. The narrators of Ahmad are the narrators of the Sahih.
