Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 8915

وَعَنْ [ أَبِي ] خِداشِ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ قَالَ : كُنْتُ أَطْلُبُ حَاجَةً إِلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قُلْتُ : فَإِنْ لَمْ أَجِدْكَ ؟ قَالَ : " فَأْتِ أَبَا بَكْرٍ " قُلْتُ : فَإِنْ لَمْ أَجِدْ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ؟ قَالَ : " فَأْتِ عُمَرَ " قُلْتُ : فَإِنْ لَمْ أَجِدْ عُمَرَ ؟ قَالَ : " فَعُثْمَانَ " قُلْتُ : فَإِنْ لَمْ أَجِدْ عُثْمَانَ ؟ فَسَكَتَ فَأَعَدْتُ ذَلِكَ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةً يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي : ذَلِكَ فَضْلُ اللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ .
رَوَاهُ الْبَزَّارُ ، وَفِيهِ الْوَاقِدِيُّ ، وَمَنْ لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُ .
Sayyiduna Abu Khidash bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding some need, and I said: "What if I do not find you?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then come to Abu Bakr." I said: "What if I do not find Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) either?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Come to Umar." I said: "What if I do not find Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) either?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then Uthman." I said: "What if I do not find Sayyiduna Uthman either?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent. I repeated my question two or three times. Then I later thought: This is the bounty of Allah Almighty, which He gives to whomever He wills.
Imam Bazzar recorded it. Its chain contains al-Waqidi, and a narrator whom I do not know.
