حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ : نَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ : نَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمَسْعُودِيُّ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ : نَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ حَصِيرَةَ ، عَنْ صَخْرِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْحَمِقِ ، يَقُولُ : بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِسَرِيَّةٍ ، فَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنَّكَ تَبْعَثُنَا وَلَيْسَ لَنَا زَادٌ ، وَلَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ ، وَلَا عِلْمَ لَنَا بِالطَّرِيقِ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّكُمْ سَتَمُرُّونَ بِرَجُلٍ صَبِيحِ الْوَجْهِ ، يُطْعِمُكُمْ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ ، وَيَسْقِيكُمْ مِنَ الشَّرَابِ ، وَيَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ ، وَهُوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ I " ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ الْقَوْمُ عَلَيَّ ، جَعَلَ يُشِيرُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ ، وَيَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيَّ فَقُلْتُ : مَا بِكُمْ ؟ يُشِيرُ بَعْضُكُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ ، وَتَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيَّ ؟ فَقَالُوا : أَبْشِرْ بِبُشْرَى اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ، فَإِنَّا نَعْرِفُ فِيكَ نَعْتَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرُونِي بِمَا قَالَ لَهُمْ ، فَأَطْعَمْتُهُمْ ، وَسَقَيْتُهُمْ ، وَزَوَّدْتُهُمْ ، وَخَرَجْتُ مَعَهُمْ حَتَّى دَلَلْتُهُمْ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ ، ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ إِلَى أَهْلِي فَأَوْصَيْتُهُمْ بِإِبِلِي ، ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقُلْتُ : مَا الَّذِي تَدْعُو إِلَيْهِ ؟ فَقَالَ : I " أَدْعُو إِلَى شَهَادَةِ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ ، وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ ، وَإِقَامِ الصَّلَاةِ ، وَإِيتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ ، وَحَجِّ الْبَيْتِ ، وَصَوْمِ رَمَضَانِ I " فَقُلْتُ : إِذَا أَجَبْنَاكَ إِلَى هَذَا ، فَنَحْنُ آمِنُونَ عَلَى أَهْلِنَا ، وَدِمَائِنَا ، وَأَمْوَالِنَا ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، فَأَسْلَمْتُ ، وَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى قَوْمِي ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُمْ بِإِسْلَامِي ، فَأَسْلَمَ عَلَى يَدَيَّ بَشَرٌ كَثِيرٌ مِنْهُمْ ، ثُمَّ هَاجَرْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا عِنْدَهُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ ، فَقَالَ لِي : I " يَا عَمْرُو هَلْ لَكَ أَنْ أُرِيَكَ آيَةَ الْجَنَّةِ ؟ يَأْكُلُ الطَّعَامَ وَيَشْرَبُ الشَّرَابَ ، وَيَمْشِي فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ I " ، قُلْتُ : بَلَى بِأَبِي أَنْتَ ، قَالَ : I " هَذَا وَقَوْمُهُ آيَةُ الْجَنَّةِ I " ، وَأَشَارَ إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، وَقَالَ لِي : I " يَا عَمْرُو ، هَلْ لَكَ أَنْ أُرِيَكَ آيَةَ النَّارِ ؟ يَأْكُلُ الطَّعَامَ وَيَشْرَبُ الشَّرَابَ ، وَيَمْشِي فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ ؟ I " قُلْتُ : بَلَى ، بِأَبِي أَنْتَ ، قَالَ : I " هَذَا وَقَوْمُهُ آيَةُ النَّارِ I " وَأَشَارَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ ، فَلَمَّا وَقَعَتِ الْفِتْنَةُ ، ذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَفَرَرْتُ مِنْ آيَةِ النَّارِ إِلَى آيَةِ الْجَنَّةِ .

Sayyiduna Amr bin al-Hamiq (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent out a small detachment, and they said: "O Messenger of Allah, you are sending us out while we have no provisions, no food, and no knowledge of the road." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You will pass by a man with a handsome face; he will feed you, give you drink and show you the way, and he is one of the people of Paradise." Sayyiduna Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When those people came and stopped with me, they began making signs to one another and looking at me. I said: "What is the matter with you, that you are making signs to one another and looking at me?" They said: "Receive the glad tidings of Allah and His Messenger, for we recognise in you the description given by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." Then they told me what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had said to them. So I fed them, gave them drink, gave them provisions and went out with them until I had shown them the way. Then I returned to my family and left them instructions about my camels, then set out to present myself before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). I said: "What is it that you call to?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I call to bearing witness that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah, and to establishing the prayer, paying zakah, performing Hajj to the House and fasting Ramadan." I said: "If we accept this call of yours, will we be safe with regard to our families, our lives and our wealth?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes." So I became a Muslim, returned to my people and informed them of my Islam, and many of them accepted Islam at my hands. Then I emigrated to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). One day, while I was with him (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O Amr, would you like me to show you the sign of Paradise? He eats food, drinks and walks in the markets." I said: "Yes, may my father and mother be ransomed for you!" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This man and his people are the sign of Paradise," and he (peace and blessings be upon him) pointed to Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him). Then he said to me: "O Amr, would you like me to show you the sign of Hell? He eats food, drinks and walks in the markets." I said: "Yes, may my father and mother be ransomed for you!" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This man and his people are the sign of Hell," and he (peace and blessings be upon him) pointed to another man. Then, when the tribulation broke out, I remembered the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so I fled from the sign of Hell to the sign of Paradise.
(Then he said:) "Do you think that after this Banu Umayyah will kill me?" I said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: "By Allah, even if I were in a hole inside another hole, Banu Umayyah would drag me out of it until they killed me. My beloved, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), told me that my head will be the first head in Islam to be cut off and carried from one city to another."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from al-Harith except Abu Abd al-Rahman."
