اُردوEn
قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى : حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْمِقْدَامِ ، ثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ ، ثَنَا الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ ثَعْلَبَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ الْهُذَلِيِّ ، عَنْ وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ - قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِمَسْجِدِ الْخَيْفِ ، فَقَالَ لِي أَصْحَابُهُ : إِلَيْكَ يَا وَاثِلَةُ - أَيْ تَنَحَّ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ - فَقَالَ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : دَعُوهُ ، فَإِنَّمَا جَاءَ لِيَسْأَلَ ، فَدَنَوْتُ ، فَقُلْتُ : بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، لِتُفْتِنَا عَنْ أَمْرٍ نَأْخُذُهُ عَنْكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ . قَالَ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : اسْتَفْتِ نَفْسَكَ ، قُلْتُ : وَكَيْفَ لِي بِذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : دَعْ مَا يَرِيبُكَ إِلَى مَا لَا يَرِيبُكَ ، وَإِنْ أَفْتَاكَ الْمُفْتُونَ ، قُلْتُ : وَكَيْفَ لِي بِعِلْمِ ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : ضَعْ يَدَكَ عَلَى فُؤَادِكَ ، فَإِنَّ الْقَلْبَ يَسْكُنُ إِلَى الْحَلَالِ ، وَلَا يَسْكُنُ إِلَى الْحَرَامِ ، وَإِنَّ وَرَعَ الْمُسْلِمِ أَنْ يَدَعَ الصَّغِيرَ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَقَعَ فِي الْكَبِيرِ ، قُلْتُ : فَمَنِ الْحَرِيصُ ؟ قَالَ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : الَّذِي يَطْلُبُ الْكَسْبَةَ فِي غَيْرِ حِلِّهَا ، قُلْتُ : فَمَنِ الْوَرِعُ ؟ قَالَ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : الَّذِي يَقِفُ عِنْدَ الشُّبْهَةِ ، قُلْتُ : فَمَنِ الْمُؤْمِنُ ؟ قَالَ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : مَنْ أَمِنَهُ النَّاسُ عَلَى أَمْوَالِهِمْ وَدِمَائِهِمْ ، قُلْتُ : فَمَنِ الْمُسْلِمُ ؟ قَالَ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ ، قُلْتُ : فَأَيُّ الْجِهَادِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : كَلِمَةُ حَقٍّ عِنْدَ إِمَامٍ جَائِرٍ .
الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ ثَعْلَبَةَ مَجْهُولٌ ، قَالَهُ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ ، لَكِنْ لِلْمَتْنِ شَوَاهِدُ مُفَرَّقَةٌ .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Wathilah bin al-Asqa' (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in Masjid al-Khayf, and his (peace and blessings be upon him) Companions said to me: O Wathilah, move back, that is, move away from in front of him (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Leave him, he has only come to ask.' So I came closer and said: O Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you, give us a ruling on a matter which we may take from you after you (are gone). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Seek a ruling from your own self.' I said: How can that be? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Leave what puts you in doubt for what does not put you in doubt, even if the muftis give you rulings.' I said: How will I recognise that? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Place your hand on your heart; the heart is at ease with the lawful and is not at ease with the unlawful. The scrupulousness (wara') of a Muslim is that he leaves even a small doubtful thing out of fear of falling into a major sin.' I said: Then who is the greedy one? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'The one who seeks earnings from other than their lawful source.' I said: Then who is the scrupulous one? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'The one who stops at what is doubtful.' I said: Then who is the believer? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'The one whom people trust with their wealth and their lives.' I said: Then who is the Muslim? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'The one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe.' I said: Then which jihad is the best? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'The best jihad is to speak a word of truth before a tyrannical ruler.'" Note: Al-Ala' bin Tha'labah is majhul (unknown), as Abu Hatim said; however, the different parts of the text have separate supporting reports (shawahid).
