Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 115

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ : أَتَى ابْنَ عُمَرَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ : يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، إِنَّا نُسَافِرُ فَنَلْقَى أَقْوَامًا يَقُولُونَ : لَا قَدَرَ ، قَالَ : فَإِذَا لَقِيتَ أُولَئِكَ فَأَخْبِرْهُمْ أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ مِنْهُمْ بَرِيءٌ ، كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِذْ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ حَسَنُ الْوَجْهِ ، طَيِّبُ الرِّيحِ ، نَقِيُّ الثَّوْبِ ، فَقَالَ : السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَدْنُو مِنْكَ ؟ قَالَ : " ادْنُهْ " ، فَدَنَا دَنْوَةً . قَالَ ذَلِكَ مِرَارًا حَتَّى اصْطَكَّتَا رُكْبَتَاهُ بِرُكْبَتَيِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، مَا الْإِسْلَامُ ؟ قَالَ : " شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ، وَإِقَامُ الصَّلَاةِ ، وَإِيتَاءُ الزَّكَاةِ ، وَحَجُّ الْبَيْتِ ، وَصِيَامُ رَمَضَانَ ، وَالْغُسْلُ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ " . قَالَ : فَإِذَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَأَنَا مُسْلِمٌ ؟ قَالَ : " نَعَمْ " . قَالَ : صَدَقْتَ ، فَمَا الْإِيمَانُ ؟ قَالَ : " الْإِيمَانُ أَنْ تُؤْمِنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَالْجَنَّةِ وَالنَّارِ وَالْقَدَرِ خَيْرِهِ وَشَرِّهِ حُلْوِهِ وَمُرِّهِ مِنَ اللَّهِ " . قَالَ : " فَإِذَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَأَنَا مُؤْمِنٌ ؟ قَالَ : " نَعَمْ " . قَالَ : صَدَقْتَ ، فَمَا الْإِحْسَانُ ؟ قَالَ : تَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ كَأَنَّكَ تَرَاهُ فَإِنْ تَكُنْ لَا تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَرَاكَ " . قَالَ : فَإِذَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَأَنَا مُحْسِنٌ ؟ قَالَ : " نَعَمْ " . قَالَ : صَدَقْتَ ، قُلْنَا : مَا رَأَيْنَا رَجُلًا [ أَحْسَنَ وَجْهًا وَلَا ] أَطْيَبَ رِيحًا وَلَا أَشَدَّ تَوْقِيرًا لِلنَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَقَوْلُهُ لِلنَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : صَدَقْتَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " عَلَيَّ بِالرَّجُلِ " ، فَقُمْنَا ، وَقُمْتُ أَنَا إِلَى طَرِيقٍ مِنْ طُرُقِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَلَمْ نَرَ شَيْئًا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَنْ هَذَا ؟ " قَالُوا : اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ . قَالَ : " هَذَا جِبْرِيلُ يُعَلِّمُكُمْ مَنَاسِكَ دِينِكُمْ ، مَا جَاءَنِي فِي صُورَةٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا عَرَفْتُهُ ، إِلَّا فِي هَذِهِ الصُّورَةِ " .

It is reported about Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both): A man came to him and said: O Abu Abd al-Rahman! We travel and meet some people who say: Destiny has no reality. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: When you meet them, tell them that Abdullah bin Umar has nothing to do with them. (Then Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar narrated this hadith:) Once we were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when a man came to him. His face was handsome, his fragrance was pleasant, and his clothes were clean. He said: O Messenger of Allah! Peace be upon you. May I come close to you? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Come close! So he came somewhat closer. He said this several times, until his knees touched the knees of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: O Messenger of Allah! What is meant by Islam? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Bearing witness that there is no god but Allah Almighty and that Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah; and establishing prayer, giving zakah, performing Hajj to the House of Allah, fasting in Ramadan, and taking the ritual bath (ghusl) after major ritual impurity (janabah). He asked: When I do this, will I be counted a Muslim? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes! He said: You have spoken the truth. What is meant by faith? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Faith means that you believe in Allah Almighty, His angels, His Books, His Messengers, Paradise, Hell, and in destiny, good or bad, sweet or bitter (that is, of every kind), as being from Allah Almighty. He asked: When I do that, will I be counted a believer? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes! He said: You have spoken the truth. What is meant by ihsan (excellence)? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: That you worship Allah Almighty as though you see Him; and if you do not see Him, He sees you. He asked: When I do that, will I be counted among those who have ihsan? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes! He said: You have spoken the truth. The narrator says: We thought: We have never seen anyone more handsome or more pleasantly fragrant than this man, or anyone showing greater reverence to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and yet he is saying to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): You have spoken the truth. (When the man had left,) the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Bring this man to me! We got up, and I too went towards one of the roads of Madinah, but we did not see anything. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Do you know who this was? The people said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This was Jibril, teaching you the rites of your religion. In whatever form he came to me, I recognized him, except that in this form the matter was different.
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and its narrators have been declared trustworthy (muwaththaqun).
