Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 3728 — Surah al-Dhariyat

وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ : أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ ، ثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَرْعَرَةَ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا قُتِلَ عُثْمَانُ - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ - ذَعَرَنِي ذَلِكَ ذُعْرًا شَدِيدًا ، وَكَانَ سَلُّ السَّيْفِ فِينَا عَظِيمًا ، فَجَلَسْتُ فِي بَيْتِي ، فَكَانَتْ حَاجَةٌ لِي ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى السُّوقِ ، فَإِذَا أَنَا بِنَفَرٍ فِي ظِلِّ الْقَصْرِ جُلُوسًا نَحْوَ أَرْبَعِينَ رَجُلًا ، وَإِذَا سِلْسِلَةٌ قَدْ عُرِضَتْ عَلَى الْبَابِ ، فَقُلْتُ : لَأَدْخُلَنَّ ، فَذَهَبْتُ أَدْخُلُ ، فَمَنَعَنِي الْبَوَّابُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الْقَوْمُ : دَعْهُ ، وَيْحَكَ ، فَذَهَبْتُ ، فَإِذَا أَشْرَافُ النَّاسِ ، وَإِذَا وِسَادَةٌ ، فَجَاءَ عَلِيٌّ - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ - رَجُلٌ جَمِيلٌ فِي حُلَّةٍ لَهُ ، لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ قَمِيصٌ وَلَا عِمَامَةٌ ، فَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ جَلَسَ ، فَلَمْ يُنْكِرْ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ غَيْرِي ، فَقَالَ - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ - : سَلُونِي عَمَّا شِئْتُمْ ، وَلَا تَسْأَلُونِي إِلَّا عَمَّا يَنْفَعُ وَلَا يَضُرُّ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ : مَا قُلْتَ حَتَّى أَحْبَبْتَ أَنْ نَقُولَ لَكَ فَأَسْأَلَكَ ؟
فَقَالَ : سَلْنِي عَمَّا شِئْتَ فَقَالَ : وَالذَّارِيَاتِ ذَرْوًا ؟ فَقَالَ - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ - : أَمَا تَسْأَلُ عَنْ غَيْرِ هَذِي ؟ فَقَالَ : أَنَا أَسْأَلُكَ عَمَّا أُرِيدُ قَالَ - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ - : الرِّيَاحُ ، قَالَ : فَمَا فَالْحَامِلَاتِ وِقْرًا ؟ قَالَ - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ - : السَّحَابُ قَالَ : فَمَا فَالْجَارِيَاتِ يُسْرًا ؟ قَالَ - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ - : السُّفُنُ ، قَالَ : فَمَا فَالْمُقَسِّمَاتِ أَمْرًا ؟ قَالَ - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ - : الْمَلَائِكَةُ ... فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِطُولِهِ ، وَفِيهِ أَنَّ الْمَسْئُولَ عَلِيٌّ - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ - .
3728 \ 2 - وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ : حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْأَزْرَقُ الْعَبْدِيُّ ، إِمْلَاءً بِبَغْدَادَ - وَهُوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ - ، ثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، فَذَكَرَهُ بِطُولِهِ .
3728 \ 3 - وَقَالَ ابْنُ مَنِيعٍ : حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، ثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَرْبٍ ، عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ ، ( ح ) ، وَعَنْ رَجُلٍ ، عَنْ زَاذَانَ ، قَالَا : بَيْنَا النَّاسُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ عِنْدَ عَلِيٍّ - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ - إِذْ وَافَقُوا مِنْهُ نَفْسًا طَيِّبَةً ، فَقَالُوا : حَدِّثْنَا عَنْ أَصْحَابِكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ... فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ ، قَالَ : فَقَامَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْكَوَّا الْأَعْوَرُ - رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي بَكْرِ ابْنِ وَائِلٍ - فَقَالَ : يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، مَا الذَّارِيَاتِ ذَرْوًا ؟ فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ ، وَزَادَ قَالَ فِي : وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الْحُبُكِ ؟ قَالَ : ذَاتُ الْخَلْقِ الْحَسَنِ ، وَزَادَ فِيهِ أَيْضًا : وَلَا تَعُدْ لِمِثْلِ هَذَا ، لَا تَسْأَلْنِي عَنْ مِثْلِ هَذَا .
هَذَا طَرَفٌ مِنْ حَدِيثٍ سَاقَهُ بِطُولِهِ ، وَفَرَّقْتُهُ فِي أَبْوَابِهِ .
It is narrated from Khalid bin Ar'arah that when Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred, this event filled me with intense terror and fear, and drawing swords among ourselves was an extremely grave and serious matter. So I (out of that fear) secluded myself in my house. Then on one occasion I had to go out for some need, and I went towards the market. There I found a group of about forty people sitting in the shade of the palace, and a chain was hung across the door. I said (to myself): I will certainly go in. When I began to enter, the doorkeeper stopped me, but the people present said to him: "Let him be, woe to you!" So I went inside, and there were the notables of the people. A cushion was placed there. Just then Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived; he was a handsome, dignified man, wearing a fine suit of clothing (a sheet and a waist-wrap), but with no shirt on his body and no turban on his head. He greeted with salam and sat down, and he did not find anyone among the people unfamiliar except me. Then he (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Ask me whatever you wish, but ask me only about what is beneficial and not harmful." A man said: What did you say? (That is, I will ask only what I intend.) He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Ask whatever you wish." He asked: What is meant by "By those that scatter, dispersing" [Surah al-Dhariyat: 1]? He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Will you not ask about something other than this?" He said: I am asking only about what I want (to know). He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "It refers to the winds." He asked: What is the meaning of "And those that carry a load" [Surah al-Dhariyat: 2]? He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "It refers to the clouds." He asked: What is meant by "And those that glide with ease" [Surah al-Dhariyat: 3]? He said: "It refers to the ships." He asked: What is meant by "And those that apportion by command" [Surah al-Dhariyat: 4]? He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "It refers to the angels." (Then the narrator mentioned the long hadith, in which it is clear that the one answering was Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him).)
Al-Harith also related another chain of it.
In the narration of Ibn Mani', it is reported from Zadhan that one day the people were with Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and he (may Allah be pleased with him) was in a very pleasant mood, so the people said: O Commander of the Believers! Tell us about your companions (the other Companions). Then the narrator mentioned the whole hadith, in which it is stated that a man named Abdullah bin al-Kawwa al-A'war (who was from Banu Bakr bin Wa'il) stood up and said: O Commander of the Believers! What is "By those that scatter, dispersing"? He (may Allah be pleased with him) gave the same answer as mentioned above. It also contains the addition that he asked about "By the heaven with its pathways" [Surah al-Dhariyat: 7], and he (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "It refers to the heaven of beautiful creation (with beautiful pathways)." And it further contains the addition that he (may Allah be pleased with him) rebuked him, saying: "Do not do such a thing again, and do not ask me (testing) questions of this kind."
This is part of a long hadith which the Imam has mentioned in portions, dividing it according to the relevance of the chapters.
