Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 3153 — The life of the Salaf

قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى : حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عِيسَى ، ثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، يَقُولُ : خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِنْدَ الظَّهِيرَةِ فَوَجَدَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَقَالَ : " مَا أَخْرَجَكَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّاعَةِ ؟ " فَقَالَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : أَخْرَجَنِي الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ . وَجَاءَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَا أَخْرَجَكَ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؟ " قَالَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : أَخْرَجَنِي الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكُمَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، فَقَعَدَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ وَأَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُحَدِّثُهُمَا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " هَلْ بِكُمَا قُوَّةٌ تَنْطَلِقَانِ إِلَى هَذَا النَّخْلِ ، فَتُصِيبَانِ طَعَامًا وَشَرَابًا وَظِلًّا " قَالَ : قُلْنَا : نَعَمْ . قَالَ : " مُرُّوا بِنَا إِلَى مَنْزِلِ أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ بْنِ التَّيِّهَانِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ " فَتَقَدَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا فَسَلَّمَ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَأُمُّ الْهَيْثَمِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا وَرَاءَ الْبَابِ تَسْمَعُ الْكَلَامَ وَتُرِيدُ أَنْ يَزِيدَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَنْصَرِفَ خَرَجَتْ أُمُّ الْهَيْثَمِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا خَلْفَهُمْ ، فَقَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ سَمِعْتُ وَاللهِ تَسْلِيمَكَ ، وَلَكِنْ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ تَزِيدَنَا مِنْ سَلَامِكَ ، فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيْرًا ، وَقَالَ : " أَيْنَ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ ؟ مَا أَرَاهُ " قَالَتْ : هُوَ قَرِيبٌ ، ذَهَبَ يَسْتَعْذِبُ لَنَا الْمَاءَ ، ادْخُلُوا ، فَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِي السَّاعَةَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ تَعَالَى ، فَبَسَطَتْ لَهُمْ بِسَاطًا تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ ، فَجَاءَ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ وَفَرِحَ بِهِمْ ، وَقَرَّتْ عَيْنُهُ بِهِمْ ، وَصَعِدَ عَلَى نَخْلَةٍ فَصَرَمَ عِذْقًا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " حَسْبُكَ يَا أَبَا الْهَيْثَمِ " . قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، تَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ رُطَبِهِ وَمِنْ بُسْرِهِ وَمِنْ تَذْنُوبِهِ ، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُمْ بِمَاءٍ فَشَرِبُوا عَلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " هَذَا مِنَ النَّعِيمِ الَّذِي تُسْأَلُونَ عَنْهُ " . وَقَامَتْ أُمُّ الْهَيْثَمِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا تَعْجِنُ لَهُمْ وَتَخْبِزُ ، وَوَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ رُؤُوسَهُمْ لِلْقَائِلَةِ ، فَانْتَبَهُوا وَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ طَعَامُهُمْ ، فَوُضِعَ الطَّعَامُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ فَأَكَلُوا وَشَبِعُوا ، وَحَمِدُوا اللهَ تَعَالَى ، وَرَدَّتْ عَلَيْهِمْ أُمُّ الْهَيْثَمِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا بَقِيَّةَ الْعِذْقِ ، فَأَكَلُوا مِنْ رُطَبِهِ وَمِنْ تَذْنُوبِهِ ، فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَدَعَا لَهُمْ .
3153 \ 2 - وَقَالَ الْبَزَّارُ : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى ، ثَنَا أَبُو خَلَفٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عِيسَى ، فَذَكَرَهُ بِتَمَامِهِ ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ : حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا مَنْزِلَ مَالِكِ بْنِ التَّيِّهَانِ أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، وَزَادَ فِي آخِرِهِ : ثُمَّ دَعَا لَهُمْ بِخَيْرٍ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ : إِذَا بَلَغَكَ أَنْ قَدْ أَتَانَا رَقِيقٌ فَأْتِنَا ، قَالَ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : فَلَمَّا بَلَغَنِي أَنَّهُ أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِرَقِيقٍ ، أَتَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ ، فَأَعْطَانِي رَأْسًا فَكَاتَبْتُهُ عَلَى أَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ ، فَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَأْسًا كَانَ أَعْظَمَ بَرَكَةً مِنْهُ .
قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عِيسَى : فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنَ مُسْلِمٍ الْمَكِّيَّ ، فَحَدَّثَنِي بِنَحْوِهِ ، وَزَادَ فِيهِ : قَالَتْ لَهُ أُمُّ الْهَيْثَمِ : لَوْ دَعَوْتَ لَنَا ؟ قَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَفْطَرَ عِنْدَكُمُ الصَّائِمُونَ ، وَأَكَلَ طَعَامَكُمُ الْأَبْرَارُ ، وَصَلَّتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) heard Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) say: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out at midday and found Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) in the mosque. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What has brought you out (of your house) at this hour?" He said: O Messenger of Allah! The same thing that has brought you out has brought me out (that is, severe hunger). Then Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "O son of al-Khattab! What has brought you out?" He too said the same: O Messenger of Allah! The same need that has brought you both out has brought me out as well. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) sat down, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) began talking with the two of them. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you have enough strength to walk to this palm grove, so that some food, drink and shade may be arranged?" We said: Yes! He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then come with us to the house of Abu al-Haytham bin al-Tayyihan al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him)." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) walked ahead of us. On reaching there, he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave salam three times and sought permission, while Umm al-Haytham (may Allah be pleased with her) was behind the door hearing the words, but she remained silent because she wanted the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to give more salam (supplication). When he (peace and blessings be upon him) was about to turn back, Umm al-Haytham (may Allah be pleased with her) came out behind them and said: O Messenger of Allah! By Allah, I heard your salam, but I wished that you would grant us more of the blessings of your salam. At this the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said good words in her favour and asked: "Where is Abu al-Haytham? I do not see him." She said: He is close by; he has gone to fetch sweet water for us. Please come in; he will arrive presently, in sha' Allah. Then she spread a mat for them beneath a tree. Meanwhile Abu al-Haytham (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived, was very pleased to see them, and his eyes were cooled by them. He climbed a date palm and brought down a cluster, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Abu al-Haytham! This would have been enough for you." He said: O Messenger of Allah! (My wish is that) you eat of every kind of its dates, the fresh, the half-ripe and the ripening. Then he brought water and they all drank. At this the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is among the blessings about which you will be questioned (on the Day of Resurrection)." Umm al-Haytham (may Allah be pleased with her) got up, kneaded dough and baked bread for them. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Abu Bakr and Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) took their midday rest, and when they awoke the food was ready. The food was placed before them and they all ate their fill and praised Allah Almighty. Then Umm al-Haytham (may Allah be pleased with her) also presented the remainder of the cluster, from which they all ate the various kinds of dates. At the end the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave them salam and supplicated for them.
Imam al-Bazzar also recorded it, with this addition: he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Abu al-Haytham (may Allah be pleased with him): "When you learn that captives (slaves) have come to us, come to us." Abu al-Haytham (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When the news reached me that captives had come to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I came to Madinah, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me a slave, whom I made a mukatab (made a contract for his freedom) for forty thousand dirhams, and I have never seen anyone more blessed than him.
Abdullah bin Isa said: I narrated this hadith to Isma'il bin Muslim al-Makki, and he also narrated it in the same way, adding that Umm al-Haytham (may Allah be pleased with her) said: (O Messenger of Allah!) Would that you supplicated for us! So he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave this supplication: 'Aftara 'indakum al-sa'imun, wa akala ta'amakum al-abrar, wa sallat 'alaykum al-mala'ikah' (May those who fast break their fast with you, may the righteous eat your food, and may the angels pray for mercy and forgiveness for you).
