Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 2149

وَعَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ النَّخَعِ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ حِينَ حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ قَالَ : أُحَدِّثُكُمْ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : " اعْبُدِ اللَّهَ كَأَنَّكَ تَرَاهُ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَرَاكَ ، وَاعْدُدْ نَفْسَكَ فِي الْمَوْتَى، وَإِيَّاكَ وَدَعْوَةَ الْمَظْلُومِ فَإِنَّهَا تُسْتَجَابُ ، وَمَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَشْهَدَ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ الْعِشَاءَ وَالصُّبْحَ وَلَوْ حَبْوًا فَلْيَفْعَلْ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ وَالرَّجُلُ الَّذِي مِنَ النَّخَعِ لَمْ أَجِدْ مَنْ ذَكَرَهُ وَسَمَّاهُ جَابِرًا .
A man from al-Nakha' says: I heard Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) when the time of his death drew near; he said: I am about to narrate to you a hadith that I heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Worship Allah Almighty as though you see Him, and if you do not see Him, then He sees you. Count yourself among the dead, and beware of the supplication of the oppressed against you, for it is answered. Whoever among you is able to attend the two prayers, Isha and the morning (in congregation), should do so, even if he has to go crawling."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. I have not found anyone who mentions the man from al-Nakha'; he named him Jabir.
