اُردوEn
وَقَالَ 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 النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَسْجِدِ الْخَيْفِ ، وَقَالَ لِي أَصْحَابُهُ : إِلَيْكَ يَا وَاثِلَةُ ، أَيْ : تَنَحَّ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ ، فَقَالَ : دَعُوهُ فَإِنَّمَا جَاءَ لِيَسْأَلَ ، فَدَنَوْتُ ، فَقُلْتُ : بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، أَفْتِنَا عَنْ أَمْرٍ نَأْخُذُهُ عَنْكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ ، قَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لِتُفْتِكَ نَفْسُكَ ، 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 : تَضَعُ يَدَكَ عَلَى فُؤَادِكَ ، فَإِنَّ الْقَلْبَ يَسْكُنُ إِلَى الْحَلَالِ ، وَلَا يَسْكُنُ لِلْحَرَامِ ، وَإِنَّ وَرَعَ الْمُسْلِمِ أَنْ يَدَعَ الصَّغِيرَ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَقَعَ فِي الْكَبِيرِ ، قُلْتُ : فَمَنِ الْحَرِيصُ ؟ قَالَ : الَّذِي يَطْلُبُ الْمَكْسَبَ فِي غَيْرِ حِلِّهَا ، قُلْتُ : فَمَنِ الْوَرِعُ ؟ قَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : الَّذِي يَقِفُ عِنْدَ الشُّبْهَةِ ، قُلْتُ : فَمَنِ الْمُؤْمِنُ ؟ قَالَ : 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 ، قَالَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ : مَجْهُولٌ .
وَلِآخِرِهِ شَاهِدٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي عَبْدَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، أَخْرَجَهُ الْبَزَّارُ .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Wathilah bin al-Asqa' (may Allah be pleased with him) that he related: I saw the Prophet (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," meaning, move away from in front of him (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Leave him, for he has come only to ask something." So I came close and said: "O Messenger of Allah! May my father and mother be sacrificed for you; give us a ruling about some comprehensive matter that we may hold firmly to (for our practice) after you." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Your own soul will give you the ruling." I said: "How can I attain this insight?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Leave what puts you in doubt and suspicion, and take up what does not put you in doubt, even if those who give rulings keep giving you rulings (according to their understanding)." I said: "How can I gain knowledge to recognise this?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Place your hand on your heart, for the heart finds reassurance and calm in what is lawful and finds no calm in what is unlawful. And the piety and scrupulousness of a Muslim is that he leaves even a small (doubtful) thing for fear of falling into a major sin." I asked: "Who is the greedy one?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who seeks wealth and goods through impermissible and unlawful means." I asked: "Who is the scrupulous and pious one (the man of wara')?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who stops at the point of doubt." I asked: "Who is the believer?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one from whom people feel safe and secure regarding their wealth and their lives." I asked: "Who is the Muslim?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one from whose tongue and hand (from whose harm) the other Muslims are safe." I asked: "Which jihad is the most excellent?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Speaking a word of truth before an oppressive ruler."
