Majma al-Zawaid 9485 — The virtue of dust in the cause of Allah

وَعَنْ رَبِيعِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ : بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَسِيرُ مُعَتَدِلًا عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ إِذْ أَبْصَرَ شَابًّا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ يَسِيرُ مُعْتَزِلًا فَقَالَ [ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ] : " أَلَيْسَ ذَاكَ فُلَانٌ ؟ " قَالُوا : نَعَمْ . قَالَ : " فَادْعُوهُ " فَجَاءَ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " مَا لَكَ اعْتَزَلْتَ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ ؟ " قَالَ : كَرِهْتُ الْغُبَارَ . قَالَ : " فَلَا تَعْتَزِلْهُ ، فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّهُ لَذَرِيرَةُ الْجَنَّةِ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ .
Sayyiduna Rabi' bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was walking along the middle of the road when he saw a man from Quraysh who was walking away from the road. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Is that not so-and-so?" The people said: Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Call him." When the man came, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "What is the reason you were keeping away from the road?" He replied: I dislike the dust. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not keep away from it. By the One in whose Hand is my soul, it (i.e., the dust of the path of Allah) is the dharirah (a particular kind of fragrance) of Paradise."
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
