Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 9817

وَعَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ قَالَ : جَلَسْنَا إِلَى الْمِقْدَادِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ يَوْمًا ، وَمَرَّ بِنَا رَجُلٌ وَاسْتَمَعْنَا إِلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ : طُوبَى لِهَاتَيْنِ الْعَيْنَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ رَأَتَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَاللَّهِ لَوَدِدْنَا أَنَّا رَأَيْنَا مَا رَأَيْتَ ، وَشَهِدْنَا مَا شَهِدْتَ . فَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ : مَا يَحْمِلُ الرَّجُلَ أَنْ يَتَمَنَّى مَحْضَرًا غَيَّبَهُ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، لَا يَدْرِي كَيْفَ يَكُونُ فِيهِ ؟ ! وَاللَّهِ ، لَقَدْ حَضَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَقْوَامٌ كَبَّهُمُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنَاخِرِهِمْ فِي جَهَنَّمَ ، لَمْ يُجِيبُوهُ ، وَلَمْ يُصَدِّقُوهُ ، أَلَا يَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى ، أَحَدُكُمُ أَنْ لَا تَعْرِفُوا إِلَّا رَبَّكُمْ مُصَدِّقِينَ بِمَا جَاءَ بِهِ نَبِيُّكُمْ ، فَقَدْ كُفِيتُمُ الْبَلَاءَ بِغَيْرِكُمْ ، وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ بُعِثَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَلَى أَشَدِّ حَالٍ بُعِثَ عَلَيْهَا نَبِيٌّ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ فِي فِطْرَةٍ وَجَاهِلِيَّةٍ ، لَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّ دِينًا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ عِبَادَةِ الْأَوْثَانِ ، فَجَاءَ بِفُرْقَانٍ فَرَّقَ بِهِ بَيْنَ الْحَقِّ وَالْبَاطِلِ ، وَفَرَّقَ بَيْنَ الْوَالِدِ وَوَلَدِهِ ، حَتَّى إِنْ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ لَيَرَى وَالِدَهُ أَوْ وَلَدَهُ أَوْ أَخَاهُ كَافِرًا ، وَقَدْ فَتَحَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى قُفْلَ قَلْبِهِ لِلْإِيمَانِ ، لِيَعْلَمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ : هَلَكَ مَنْ دَخْلَ النَّارَ ، فَلَا تَقَرُّ عَيْنُهُ ، وَهُوَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ حَمِيمَهُ فِي النَّارِ ، وَأَنَّهَا الَّتِي قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى : ( رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ ) . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ بِأَسَانِيدَ فِي أَحَدِهَا يَحْيَى بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، وَثَّقَهُ الذَّهَبِيُّ ، وَقَدْ تَكَلَّمُوا فِيهِ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Jubayr bin Nufayr narrates: One day we were sitting with Sayyiduna Miqdad bin al-Aswad (may Allah be pleased with him). A man passed by us while we were attentive to him (al-Miqdad). He said: "Glad tidings for these two eyes that saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). By Allah! We wish that we had seen what you saw and been present where you were present." Sayyiduna Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with him) turned towards him and said: "What makes a man wish to be present where Allah Almighty kept him absent, when he does not know what he would have done in that situation? By Allah! In the blessed time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) there were many people whom Allah Almighty will throw face down on their noses into Hell. Those people did not accept the word of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and did not affirm him. Does not each one of you praise Allah Almighty that you know none but your Lord, and that you affirm what your Prophet brought, and that others were put to the trial instead of you? By Allah! When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent, no other prophet had ever been sent in a situation as severe, neither in a period of fitrah nor in a time of ignorance. People thought that there could be no religion more excellent than the worship of idols. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) brought the Criterion (Furqan), which distinguished between truth and falsehood and separated the father from the son, to the extent that a man would see his father, or his son, or his brother as a disbeliever, while Allah Almighty had opened the lock of his heart for faith, so that he would know that the Lord has said (or the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has said) that whoever enters Hell is ruined. So his eye finds no comfort, knowing that his close one is in Hell. It is about this that Allah Almighty has said: (they say:) "Our Lord! Grant us from our wives and our offspring the coolness of our eyes.""
Al-Tabarani recorded it with several chains. One of its chains contains Yahya bin Salih, whom al-Dhahabi declared thiqah (trustworthy), but the hadith scholars have criticised him. The remaining narrators of this report are the narrators of the Sahih.
