Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 9129

وَعَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ أَنَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ كَانَ يَخْدِمُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ خِدْمَتِهِ آوَى إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَاضْطَجَعَ فِيهِ ، فَكَانَ هُوَ بَيْتَهُ فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ( الْمَسْجِدَ ) لَيْلَةً فَوَجَدَ أَبَا ذَرٍّ ( نَائِمًا ) مُنْجَدِلًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَنَكَتَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِرِجْلِهِ حَتَّى اسْتَوَى جَالِسًا فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " أَلَا أَرَاكَ نَائِمًا ؟ " قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَأَيْنَ أَنَامُ ؟ وَهَلْ لِي ( مِنْ ) بَيْتٍ غَيْرُهُ ؟ فَجَلَسَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " كَيْفَ أَنْتَ إِذَا أَخْرَجُوكَ مِنْهُ ؟ " قَالَ : إِذًا أَلْحَقُ بِالشَّامِ فَإِنَّ الشَّامَ أَرْضُ الْهِجْرَةِ وَأَرْضُ الْمَحْشَرِ ، وَأَرْضُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ ، فَأَكُونُ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِهَا . فَقَالَ لَهُ : " كَيْفَ أَنْتَ إِذَا أَخْرَجُوكَ مِنَ الشَّامِ ؟ " قَالَ : إِذًا أَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِ فَيَكُونُ بَيْتِي وَمَنْزِلِي . قَالَ : " فَكَيْفَ بِكَ إِذَا أَخْرَجُوكَ مِنْهُ الثَّانِيَةَ ؟ " قَالَ : إِذًا فَآخُذُ سَيْفِي فَأُقَاتِلُ عَنِّي حَتَّى أَمُوتَ ( قَالَ ) ، فَكَشَّرَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَأَثْبَتَهُ بِيَدِهِ وَقَالَ : " أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى خَيْرٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ؟ " قَالَ : بَلَى ، بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ . قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " تَنْقَادُ لَهُمْ حَيْثُ قَادُوكَ ، وَتَنْسَاقُ لَهُمْ حَيْثُ سَاقُوكَ حَتَّى تَلْقَانِي وَأَنْتَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ " .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَفِيهِ شَهْرُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ ، وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ وَقَدْ وُثِّقَ .
Sayyidah Asma' bint Yazid (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) used to serve the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When he had finished serving the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he would come to the mosque and lie down there; the mosque was his home. Once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came into the mosque at night and found Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) asleep in the mosque. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) nudged him with his foot, and he sat up straight. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do I not find you asleep?" He said: "O Messenger of Allah! Where else should I sleep? Do I have any home other than this?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sat down beside him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "What will be your state when people expel you from here?" He said: "In that case I will go to Syria, for Syria is the land of emigration, the land of the Gathering and the land of the prophets; I will become one of its people." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "What will become of you when they expel you from Syria too?" He said: "In that case I will come back; this will be my home and my dwelling." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What will become of you when they expel you from here a second time?" He said: "In that case I will take up my sword and start fighting until I die." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at him with a smile, patted his hand and said: "Shall I not guide you to something better than that?" He said: "Yes, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Wherever they send you, go there; wherever they drive you, go there, until you come to meet me while you are in that very state."
This narration has been recorded by Imam Ahmad. Its chain contains one narrator, Shahr bin Hawshab, and he is da'if (weak), although he has also been declared trustworthy.
