وَعَنْ أَبِي أَسْمَاءَ : أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ ، وَهُوَ بِالرَّبَذَةِ وَعِنْدَهُ امْرَأَةٌ لَهُ ، سَوْدَاءُ بَشِعَةٌ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهَا أَثَرُ الْمَجَاسِدِ ، وَلَا الْخَلُوقِ ، فَقَالَ : أَلَا تَنْظُرُونَ إِلَى مَا تَأْمُرُنِي بِهِ هَذِهِ السُّوَيْدَاءُ ؟ تَأْمُرُنِي أَنْ آتِيَ الْعِرَاقَ ، فَإِذَا أَتَيْتُ الْعِرَاقَ مَالُوا عَلَيَّ بِدُنْيَاهُمْ ، وَإِنَّ خَلِيلِي - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّ دُونَ جِسْرِ جَهَنَّمَ طَرِيقًا ذَا دَحْضٍ وَمَزَلَّةٍ ، وَإِنَّا إِنْ نَأْتِ عَلَيْهِ وَفِي أَحْمَالِنَا اقْتِدَارٌ أَوِ اضْطِمَارٌ أَحْرَى أَنْ نَنْجُوَ مِنْ أَنْ نَأْتِيَ عَلَيْهِ وَنَحْنُ مَوَاقِيرُ . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ . قُلْتُ : وَيَأْتِي حَدِيثُ أَنَسٍ ، وَأَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ فِي أَوَاخِرِ الْبَابِ بَعْدَ هَذَا .
Abu Asma' relates that he visited Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him), who was at al-Rabadhah. With him was a black woman, unkempt in appearance, wearing no saffron or perfume. Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Do you not see what this black woman tells me? She tells me to go to Iraq; if I go to Iraq, the people there will shower their worldly goods upon me. And my close friend (peace and blessings be upon him) told me that before the bridge over Hell there is a path that is slippery and treacherous, and if our loads are light when we come upon that path, that (being lightly laden) will be more likely to secure our deliverance than reaching it heavily laden.
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih. (Al-Haythami says:) I say: The hadith narrated by Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) will come later, in the final chapters.
