Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 3071 — he said: On one of the nights I went out

حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ بِشْرٍ الْعِجْلِيُّ قَالَ : نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ الْمَنْبِجِيُّ قَالَ : نَا الْوَضَّاحُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ الْكُوفِيُّ ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ : خَرَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَعْضِ اللَّيَالِي أَحْمِلُ لَهُ الطَّهُورَ ، إِذْ سَمِعَ مُنَادِيًا ، فَقَالَ : I " يَا أَنَسُ ، صُبَّهُ I " فَقَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى مَا يُنَجِّينِي مِمَّا خَوَّفْتَنِي مِنْهُ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : I " لَوْ قَالَ أُخْتَهَا I " ، فَكَأَنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَقِنَ مَا أَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ، فَقَالَ : وَارْزُقْنِي شَوْقَ الصَّادِقِينَ إِلَى مَا شَوَّقْتَهُمْ إِلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : حَيًّا يَا أَنَسُ ، ضَعِ الطَّهُورَ ، وَائْتِ هَذَا الْمُنَادِي ، فَقُلْ لَهُ : أَنْ يَدْعُوَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُعِينَهُ عَلَى مَا ابْتَعَثَهُ بِهِ ، وَادْعُ لِأُمَّتِهِ أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا مَا أَتَاهُمْ بِهِ نَبِيُّهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ I " فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ : ادْعُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُعِينَهُ اللهُ عَلَى مَا ابْتَعَثَهُ ، وَادْعُ لِأُمَّتِهِ أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا مَا أَتَاهُمْ بِهِ نَبِيُّهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ ، فَقَالَ : وَمَنْ أَرْسَلَكَ ؟ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُعْلِمَهُ ، وَلَمْ أَسْتَأَذِنْ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقُلْتُ : وَمَا عَلَيْكَ رَحِمَكَ اللهُ بِمَا سَأَلْتُكَ ؟ قَالَ : أَوَ لَا تُخْبِرُنِي مَنْ أَرْسَلَكَ ؟ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَا قَالَ ، فَقَالَ : I " قُلْ لَهُ : أَنَا رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللهِ I " فَقَالَ لِي : مَرْحَبًا بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ، وَمَرْحَبًا بِرَسُولِهِ ، أَنَا كُنْتُ أَحَقَّ أَنْ آتِيَهُ ، أَقْرِئْ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ السَّلَامَ ، وَقُلْ لَهُ : الْخَضِرُ يُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامُ ، وَيَقُولُ لَكَ : إِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ فَضَّلَكَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّينَ كَمَا فَضَّلَ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ عَلَى سَائِرِ الشُّهُورِ ، وَفَضَّلَ أُمَّتَكَ عَلَى الْأُمَمِ كَمَا فَضَّلَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ عَلَى سَائِرِ الْأَيَّامِ ، فَلَمَّا وَلَّيْتُ عَنْهُ ، سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ : اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ الْمَرْحُومَةِ الْمُرْشِدَةِ الْمُتَابِ عَلَيْهَا .
لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ إِلَّا عَاصِمٌ الْأَحْوَلُ ، وَلَا عَنْ عَاصِمٍ إِلَّا الْوَضَّاحُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "On one of the nights I went out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), carrying the water for his ablution, when suddenly he (peace and blessings be upon him) heard the voice of someone calling out, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'O Anas! Pour the water.' Then that caller made this supplication: 'Allahumma a'inni ala ma yunajjini mimma khawwaftani minhu' (O Allah, help me with the deeds that will save me from what You have made me fear). Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'If only he would also say its other part.' It was as if what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wanted was put into that man's heart, and he said: 'Warzuqni shawq al-sadiqin ila ma shawwaqtahum ilayh' (And grant me the longing of the truthful for what You have made them long for). Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'O Anas! Put down the ablution water and go to this caller and tell him to supplicate for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that Allah Almighty help him in the mission for which He sent him, and to supplicate for his Ummah that they accept (wholeheartedly) what their true Prophet has brought them.' I went to him and said: Supplicate for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that Allah Almighty help him in the mission for which He sent him, and supplicate for his Ummah that they accept what their true Prophet has brought them. He asked: 'Who sent you?' I disliked telling him, because I had not asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for permission (to disclose his name), so I said: 'May Allah have mercy on you, what concern is it of yours who sent me?' He said again: 'Will you not tell me who sent you?' I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him what he had said, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Go and tell him: I have come as the envoy of the Messenger of Allah.' (When I told him this) he said to me: 'Welcome to the Messenger of Allah, and welcome to his envoy! I was more deserving to go to him myself. Convey my greetings of peace to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and say to him: Al-Khidr sends you greetings of peace and says that Allah Almighty has favoured you over all the prophets just as the month of Ramadan is favoured over all the months, and has favoured your Ummah over all the nations just as Friday is favoured over all the days.' Then when I turned my back on him to return, I heard him saying: 'Allahumma ij'alni min hadhihi al-ummah al-marhumah al-murshadah al-mutab alayha' (O Allah, make me one of this Ummah which has been shown mercy, which has been guided and whose repentance has been accepted)."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) except Asim al-Ahwal (may Allah have mercy on him), and no one from Asim except al-Waddah bin Abbad (may Allah have mercy on him), while Muhammad bin Sallam (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it."
