حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، قَالَ : نَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ قُرَّةَ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ قَالَ : نَا أَبِي قَالَ : نَا أَبُو كَعْبٍ صَاحِبُ الْحَرِيرِ قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ النَّضْرَ بْنَ أَنَسٍ فَقُلْتُ : حَدِّثْنِي بِحَدِيثٍ ، يَنْفَعُنِي اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِهِ ، فَقَالَ : نَعَمْ ، أُحَدِّثُكَ بِحَدِيثٍ كُتِبَ إِلَيْنَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ . فَقَالَ : قَالَ أَنَسٌ : احْفَظُوا هَذَا فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ كَنْزِ الْحَدِيثِ . قَالَ : غَزَا النَّبِيُّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- ، فَسَارَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ إِلَى اللَّيْلِ . فَلَمَّا كَانَ اللَّيْلُ نَزَلَ وَعَسْكَرَ النَّاسُ حَوْلَهُ ، وَنَامَ هُوَ وَأَبُو طَلْحَةَ زَوْجُ أُمِّ أَنَسٍ ، وَفُلَانٌ وَفُلَانٌ ، أَرْبَعَةٌ ، فَتَوَسَّدَ النَّبِيُّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- يَدَ رَاحِلَتِهِ . ثُمَّ نَامَ وَنَامَ الْأَرْبَعَةُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ ، فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ عَتَمَةٌ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ رَفَعُوا رُءُوسَهُمْ ، فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا النَّبِيَّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- عِنْدَ رَاحِلَتِهِ ، فَذَهَبُوا يَلْتَمِسُونَ النَّبِيَّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- حَتَّى يَلْقَوْهُ مُقْبِلًا ، فَقَالُوا : جَعَلَنَا اللهُ فِدَاكَ ، أَيْنَ كُنْتَ ؟ فَإِنَّا فَزِعْنَا لَكَ إِذْ لَمْ نَرَكَ . فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- : I " كُنْتُ نَائِمًا حَيْثُ رَأَيْتُمْ ، فَسَمِعْتُ فِي نَوْمِي دَوِيًّا كَدَوِيِّ الرَّحَا ، أَوْ هَزِيزًا كَهَزِيزِ الرَّحَا ، فَفَزِعْتُ فِي مَنَامِي ، فَوَثَبْتُ ، فَمَضَيْتُ ، فَاسْتَقْبَلَنِي جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ ، فَقَالَ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بَعَثَنِي إِلَيْكَ السَّاعَةَ لِأُخَيِّرَكَ ، فَاخْتَرْ : إِمَّا أَنْ يَدْخُلَ نِصْفُ أُمَّتِكَ الْجَنَّةَ ، وَإِمَّا الشَّفَاعَةُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ . فَاخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ لِأُمَّتِي I " . فَقَالَ النَّفَرُ الْأَرْبَعُ : يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ ، اجْعَلْنَا مِمَّنْ تَشْفَعُ لَهُمْ ، فَقَالَ : I " وَجَبَتْ لَكُمْ I " ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ النَّبِيُّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- وَالْأَرْبَعَةُ ، حَتَّى اسْتَقْبَلَهُ عَشَرَةٌ ، فَقَالُوا : أَيْنَ نَبِيُّنَا نَبِيُّ الرَّحْمَةِ ؟ قَالَ : فَحَدَّثَهُمْ بِالَّذِي حَدَّثَ الْقَوْمَ ، فَقَالُوا : جَعَلَنَا اللهُ فِدَاكَ ، اجْعَلْنَا مِمَّنْ تَشْفَعُ لَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ . فَقَالَ : I " وَجَبَتْ لَكُمْ I " ، فَجَاءُوا جَمِيعًا إِلَى عَظْمِ النَّاسِ ، فَنَادَوْا فِي النَّاسِ : هَذَا نَبِيُّنَا نَبِيُّ الرَّحْمَةِ ، فَحَدَّثَهُمْ بِالَّذِي حَدَّثَ الْقَوْمَ ، فَنَادَوْا بِأَجْمَعِهِمْ : أَنْ جَعَلَنَا اللهُ فِدَاكَ ، اجْعَلْنَا مِمَّنْ تَشْفَعُ لَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ . فَنَادَى ثَلَاثًا : I " إِنِّي أُشْهِدُ اللهَ وَأُشْهِدُ مَنْ سَمِعَ أَنَّ شَفَاعَتِي لِمَنْ يَمُوتُ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ شَيْئًا . I " لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ أَبِي كَعْبٍ إِلَّا قُرَّةُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ : عَلِيُّ بْنُ قُرَّةَ I " .
Abu Ka'b, the silk merchant (may Allah have mercy on him), relates: I said to al-Nadr bin Anas (may Allah have mercy on him): "Narrate to me a hadith through which Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will benefit me." He said: "Yes, I will narrate to you a hadith that was written and sent to us from Madinah." He said that Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Preserve this, for it is one of the treasures of hadith." He related that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went out on a military expedition and kept travelling that day until nightfall. When night came, he (peace and blessings be upon him) halted, and the people set up camp around him. He (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him), the husband of Sayyidah Umm Anas (may Allah be pleased with her), and so-and-so and so-and-so, four people in all, lay down to sleep; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used the foreleg of his mount as a pillow. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) slept, and the four also slept beside him. When a portion of the night had passed, they raised their heads but did not find the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) beside his mount, so they went out searching for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) until they met him (peace and blessings be upon him) coming towards them. They said: "May Allah make us your ransom, where were you? When we did not see you, we became very alarmed about you." The Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I was sleeping where you saw me, then in my sleep I heard a sound like the droning of a millstone, or a rumbling like the rumbling of a millstone, and I was startled in my sleep. I leapt up and went ahead, and Jibril (peace be upon him) met me on the way and said: 'O Muhammad, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has sent me to you just now to give you a choice, so choose: either that half of your Ummah enter Paradise, or intercession (shafa'ah) on the Day of Resurrection.' So I chose intercession for my Ummah." The four men said: "O Prophet of Allah, make us among those for whom you will intercede." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It has become due for you." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and those four moved on until ten people came before him (peace and blessings be upon him). They asked: "Where is our Prophet, the Prophet of mercy?" The narrator said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) told them too what he had told the first group, and they said: "May Allah make us your ransom, make us among those for whom you will intercede on the Day of Resurrection." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It has become due for you." Then they all came to the main body of the people and called out among the people: "Here is our Prophet, the Prophet of mercy." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) told them too what he had told those people, and they all called out together: "May Allah make us your ransom, make us among those for whom you will intercede on the Day of Resurrection." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) called out three times: "I call Allah to witness, and I call whoever has heard to witness, that my intercession is for everyone who dies without associating anything with Allah, the Mighty and Majestic."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Abu Ka'b (may Allah have mercy on him) except Qurrah bin Habib (may Allah have mercy on him), and Ali bin Qurrah (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it."
