Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 4074 — The merits of Abu Dharr

قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ : أَخْبَرَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْحَاقَ ، يَقُولُ : حَدَّثَنِي بُرَيْدَةُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنِ الْقُرَظِيِّ ، قَالَ : خَرَجَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ إِلَى الرَّبَذَةِ ، فَأَصَابَهُ قَدَرُهُ ، فَأَوْصَاهُمْ أَنِ اغْسِلُونِي ، وَكَفِّنُونِي ، ثُمَّ ضَعُونِي عَلَى قَارِعَةِ الطَّرِيقِ ، فَأَوَّلُ رَكْبٍ يَمُرُّونَ بِكُمْ ، فَقُولُوا : هَذَا أَبُو ذَرٍّ ، صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَعِينُونَا عَلَى غُسْلِهِ وَدَفْنِهِ ، فَفَعَلُوا ، فَأَقْبَلَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فِي رَكْبٍ مِنَ الْعِرَاقِ ، وَقَدْ وُضِعَتِ الْجِنَازَةُ عَلَى قَارِعَةِ الطَّرِيقِ ، فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ غُلَامٌ ، فَقَالَ : هَذَا أَبُو ذَرٍّ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : فَبَكَى عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ وَقَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : تَمْشِي وَحْدَكَ ، وَتَمُوتُ وَحْدَكَ ، وَتُبْعَثُ وَحْدَكَ .
الْقُرَظِيُّ مَا عَرَفْتُهُ ، فَإِنْ كَانَ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ كَعْبٍ فَالْحَدِيثُ مُنْقَطِعٌ .

4074 \ 2 - وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ مِنْ طَرِيقِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْأَشْتَرِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أُمِّ ذَرٍّ ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ ، رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمْ . يَعْنِي هَذَا .
4074 \ 3 - أَخْبَرَنَا الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ ، ثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ كُلَيْبٍ ، ثَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ نُبَاتَةَ قَالَ : خَرَجْنَا عُمَّارًا فَعَمَدْنَا إِلَى مَنْزِلِ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ قَدْ أَقْبَلَ يَحْمِلُ عَظْمَ جَزُورٍ أَوْ يُحْمَلُ مَعَهُ ، فَأَتَى مَنْزِلَهُ ، ثُمَّ أَتَانَا فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا .. فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ : فِي كُلِّ كَذَا وَكَذَا جَزُورًا يَنْحَرُونَهَا فَيَأْكُلُونَهَا ، وَلِي فِي كُلِّ جَزُورٍ عَظْمٌ ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَا مَالُكَ ؟ فَقَالَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : لِي قَطِيعٌ مِنْ إِبِلٍ ، وَصَرِيمَةٌ مَنْ غَنَمٍ فِي إِحْدَاهَا ابْنِي ، وَفِي الْأُخْرَى غُلَامٌ أَسْوَدُ اشْتَرَيْتُهُ فَهُوَ عَتِيقٌ ، يَخْدُمُنِي إِلَى الْحَوْلِ ثُمَّ هُوَ عَتِيقٌ . قَالَ : فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ ، وَاللهِ مَا مِنَ النَّاسِ عِنْدَنَا أَحَدٌ أَكْثَرُ أَمْوَالًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ . فَقَالَ : وَاللهِ مَا لَهُمْ فِي مَالٍ مِنَ الْحَقِّ إِلَّا وَلِي مِثْلُهُ . قَالَ : فَجَعَلْنَا نَسْتَفْتِيهِ ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ ، عِنْدَنَا رَجُلٌ يَصُومُ الدَّهْرَ إِلَّا الْأَضْحَى وَالْفِطْرَ ؟ قَالَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : لَمْ يَصُمْ وَلَمْ يُفْطِرْ . قَالَ : إِنَّهُ وَإِنَّهُ . قَالَ : فَأَعَادَهَا .. الْحَدِيثَ .
It is narrated from a narrator named al-Qurazi that Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) set out towards al-Rabadhah, and the time of his death drew near. He instructed his family: "Wash me, shroud me, and then place me at the side of the main road. Then, to the first caravan that passes by you, say: This is Abu Dharr, the Companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so help us with washing and burying him." So they did just that. Then Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived with a caravan from Iraq while the bier was placed at the side of the main road. A boy stepped towards him and said: "This is Abu Dharr, the eminent Companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." Hearing this, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) burst into tears and said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: 'You will walk alone, you will die alone, and you will be raised alone on the Day of Resurrection.'"
I have not been able to identify this narrator al-Qurazi; if Muhammad bin Ka'b is meant by him, then this hadith is munqati' (with a broken chain).
Imam Ahmad recorded it from Ibrahim bin al-Ashtar, from his father, from Sayyidah Umm Dharr, from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with them).
It is narrated from Salamah bin Nubatah that he said: We set out as Umrah pilgrims and headed for the residence of Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), and suddenly we saw him coming, carrying a camel's bone. He reached his lodging, then came to us and greeted us with peace. Then, narrating the hadith, he said to them: "People slaughter camels on particular days and eat them, and I get one bone from every camel slaughtered." A man said: "O Abu Dharr, what wealth do you have?" He replied: "I have a herd of camels and a flock of goats; my son is looking after one of them, and with the other is a black slave whom I bought; he is free. He will serve me for one year and then he will be (completely) free." A man said: "O Abu Dharr, by Allah, in our view there is no one among the people wealthier than your companions (the other Companions)." He said: "By Allah, whatever right they have in wealth, I have the same right." The narrator says: We began to ask him about religious rulings, and a man asked: "O Abu Dharr, among us there is a man who fasts the whole year except for the two Eids?" He said: "He has neither fasted nor broken his fast." The man repeated his statement, and he repeated the same answer again.
