Hadith 36
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ خَلادٍ الْقَطَّانُ الْبَصْرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ الأُبُلِّيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الصَّعْقُ بْنُ حَزْنٍ ، عَنْ عَقِيلٍ الْجَعْدِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ ، عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفْلَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " يَا ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ أَيُّ عُرَى الإِيمَانِ أَوْثَقُ ؟ ، قُلْتُ : اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ، قَالَ : أَوْثَقُ عُرَى الإِسْلامِ : الْوِلايَةُ فِي اللَّهِ ، وَالْحُبُّ فِي اللَّهِ ، وَالْبُغْضُ فِي اللَّهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : يَا ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ ، قُلْتُ : لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : أَتَدْرِي أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ ، قُلْتُ : اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ، قَالَ : فَإِنَّ أَفْضَلَ النَّاسِ أَفْضَلُهُمْ عَمَلا إِذَا فَقِهُوا فِي دِينِهِمْ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : يَا ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ ، قُلْتُ : لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : أَتَدْرِي أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَعْلَمُ ؟ ، قُلْتُ : اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ، قَالَ : إِنَّ أَعْلَمَ النَّاسِ أَبْصَرُهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ ، إِذَا اخْتَلَفَ النَّاسُ وَإِنْ كَانَ مُقَصِّرًا فِي عَمَلِهِ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ يَزْحَفُ عَلَى اسْتِهِ زَحْفًا ، وَاخْتَلَفَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ عَلَى اثْنَتَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً نَجَا مِنْهَا ثَلاثٌ ، وَهَلَكَ سَائِرُهُنَّ ، فِرْقَةٌ أَزَتِ الْمُلُوكَ وَقَاتَلُوهُمْ عَلَى دِينِهِمْ وَدِينِ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ ، فَأَخَذُوهُمْ فَقَتَلُوهُمْ وَنَشَرُوهُمْ بِالْمَنَاشِيرِ ، وَفِرْقَةٌ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُمْ طَاقَةٌ بِمُوَازَةِ الْمُلُوكِ وَلا أَنْ يُقِيمُوا بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانِيهِمْ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى دِينِ اللَّهِ وَدِينِ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ ، فَسَاحُوا فِي الْبِلادِ وَتَرَهَّبُوا وَهُمُ الَّذِينَ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : وَرَهْبَانِيَّةً ابْتَدَعُوهَا مَا كَتَبْنَاهَا عَلَيْهِمْ إِلا ابْتِغَاءَ رِضْوَانِ اللَّهِ سورة الحديد آية 27 ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ : فَمَنْ آمَنَ بِي وَاتَّبَعَنِي وَصَدَّقَنِي فَقَدْ رَعَاهَا حَقَّ رِعَايَتِهَا ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَتَّبِعْنِي فَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْهَالِكُونَ "، لَمْ يَرْوِهِ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، إِلا عَقِيلٌ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ الصَّعْقُ
Sayyiduna Ibn Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I went to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: “O Ibn Mas’ud! Which link of faith is the strongest?” I said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The strongest link of Islam is to befriend and love for the sake of Allah, and to have enmity for His sake.” Then he said: “Ibn Mas’ud!” I said: I am present, O Messenger of Allah! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Do you know which person is the most virtuous?” I said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The best among people in terms of deeds are those who have understanding in religion.” Then he said: “O Ibn Mas’ud!” I said: I am present. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Do you know who among people is the most knowledgeable?” I said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The greatest scholar is the one who keeps his eye on the truth at the time of people’s differences, even if he falls short in his own actions. Even if he comes crawling on his knees, among those before you, differences arose into seventy-two (72) sects, of which three were saved and the rest were destroyed. One was the group that confronted the kings and fought them regarding their religion and the religion of ‘Isa (peace be upon him), so they seized them, killed them, and cut them apart with saws. The second was those who did not have the strength to confront the kings, nor the power to call people to Allah’s religion and the religion of ‘Isa (peace be upon him), so they went out into the cities and became dervishes and monks, and they are those about whom Allah the Exalted said: ‘And monasticism which they invented – We did not prescribe it for them, except seeking the pleasure of Allah’ (They adopted it in pursuit of Allah’s pleasure.)” Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever believed in me, followed me, and affirmed me, he fulfilled the right of caring for it, and whoever did not follow me, then these are the ones who will be destroyed.”
