Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 7029

وَعَنْ عُلَيْمٍ قَالَ : كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عَلَى سَطْحٍ مَعَنَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ عُلَيْمٌ : لَا أَعْلَمُ إِلَّا عَبْسًا الْغِفَارِيَّ - وَالنَّاسُ يَخْرُجُونَ فِي الطَّاعُونِ . قَالَ عَبْسٌ : يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي ، ثَلَاثًا يَقُولُهَا . فَقَالَ لَهُ عُلَيْمٌ : لِمَ تَقُلْ هَذَا ؟ أَلَمْ يَقُلْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " لَا يَتَمَنَّى أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ ، فَإِنَّهُ عِنْدَ انْقِطَاعِ عَمَلِهِ ، وَلَا يُرَدُّ فَيُسْتَعْتَبَ " ؟ . فَقَالَ : إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : " بَادِرُوا بِالْمَوْتِ سِتًّا : إِمْرَةَ السُّفَهَاءِ [ وَكَثْرَةَ الشُّرَطِ ] وَبَيْعَ الْحُكْمِ وَاسْتِخْفَافًا بِالدَّمِ وَقَطِيعَةَ الرَّحِمِ وَنَشُوءًا يَتَّخِذُونَ الْقُرْآنَ مَزَامِيرَ يُقَدِّمُونَهُ يُغَنِّيهِمْ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ أَقَلَّ مِنْهُمْ فِقْهًا " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ : عَابِسٌ الْغِفَارِيُّ وَقَالَ : " يُقَدِّمُونَ الرَّجُلَ لَيْسَ بِأَفْقَهِهِمْ ، وَلَا أَعْلَمِهِمْ ، وَلَا بِأَفْضَلِهِمْ يُغَنِّيهِمْ غِنَاءً " .
وَفِيهِ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ ، وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ .
Ulaym narrates: We were sitting on a rooftop, and with us was one of the Companions. Ulaym says: To the best of my knowledge it was Sayyiduna Abs al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him). People were going out during the plague. Sayyiduna Abs (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O plague, take me! He said these words three times. Ulaym said to him: Why have you said this? Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) not say: "None of you should wish for death, for at that point his deeds are cut off, and he will not be sent back so that he may make amends"? He replied: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Hasten towards death before six things: the rule of fools, an abundance of police, the selling of judgment, taking bloodshed lightly, severing the ties of kinship, and a new generation who will take the Qur'an as musical pipes; they will put forward a man who sings to them, even if he is the least of them in knowledge of the religion."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, except that he narrated these words: Sayyiduna Abis al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "They will put forward a man who is not the greatest jurist among them, nor the most knowledgeable of them, nor the most virtuous of them, but rather one who sings to them." Its chain contains Uthman bin Umayr, who is da'if (weak).
