Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 9469

عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَنَّهُ أَمَرَ أَصْحَابَهُ بِالْغَزْوِ ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ لِأَهْلِهِ : أَتَخَلَّفُ حَتَّى أُصْلِيَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - [ الظُّهْرَ ] ثُمَّ أُسَلِّمَ عَلَيْهِ وَأُوَدِّعَهُ فَيَدْعُوَ لِي بِدَعْوَةٍ تَكُونُ شَافِعَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَقْبَلَ الرَّجُلُ مُسَلِّمًا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " أَتَدْرِي بِكَمْ سَبَقَكَ أَصْحَابُكَ ؟ " قَالَ : نَعَمْ سَبَقُونِي الْيَوْمَ بِغَدْوَتِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ سَبَقُوكَ بِأَبْعَدَ مِمَّا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقَيْنِ وَالْمَغْرِبَيْنِ فِي الْفَضِيلَةِ " .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَفِيهِ زَبَّانُ بْنُ فَائِدٍ وَثَّقَهُ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ وَضَعَّفَهُ جَمَاعَةٌ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ ثِقَاتٌ .
Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reports about the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): He ordered his Companions to go out on a military expedition. A man said to his wife: I will stay behind; after offering the Zuhr prayer behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I will greet him and take my leave, and he will make a supplication for me that will intercede (for me) on the Day of Resurrection. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had finished the prayer and the man came to greet him, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "Do you know by how much your companions have gone ahead of you?" He replied: Yes. They went ahead of me by setting out this morning. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By the One in whose Hand is my soul, in terms of excellence they have gone ahead of you by as much as the distance between the two easts and the two wests, and more than that."
Ahmad recorded it; its chain contains Zabban bin Fa'id, whom Abu Hatim declared thiqah (trustworthy) and a group declared da'if (weak). The rest of its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
