Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 6105 — the Prophet ﷺ said: Ya'qub

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْبَاهِلِيُّ الْبَصْرِيُّ ، قَالَ : نَا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ ، قَالَ : نَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي غَنِيَّةَ ، عَنْ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : كَانَ لِيَعْقُوبَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أَخٌ مُواخِي ، فَقَالَ لَهُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ : يَا يَعْقُوبُ مَا الَّذِي أَذْهَبَ بَصَرَكَ ؟ وَمَا الَّذِي قَوَّسَ ظَهْرَكَ ؟ قَالَ : أَمَّا الَّذِي أَذْهَبَ بَصَرِي فَالْبُكَاءُ عَلَى يُوسُفَ ، وَأَمَّا الَّذِي قَوَّسَ ظَهْرِي ، فَالْحُزْنُ عَلَى بِنْيَامِينَ ، فَأَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ ، فَقَالَ : يَا يَعْقُوبُ ، إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ ، وَيَقُولُ لَكَ : أَمَا تَسْتَحِي أَنْ تَشْكُوَنِي إِلَى غَيْرِي ، فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ : إِنَّمَا أَشْكُو بَثِّي وَحُزْنِي إِلَى اللهِ ، فَقَالَ جِبْرِيلُ : اللهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَشْكُو يَا يَعْقُوبُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ يَعْقُوبُ : أَيْ رَبِّ أَمَا تَرْحَمُ الشَّيْخَ الْكَبِيرَ ، أَذْهَبْتَ بَصَرِي ، وَقَوَّسْتَ ظَهْرِي ، فَارْدُدْ عَلَيَّ يُوسُفَ رَيْحَانَتِي ، أَشُمُّهُ شَمَّةً قَبْلَ الْمَوْتِ ، ثُمَّ اصْنَعْ بِي يَا رَبِّ مَا شِئْتَ ، فَأَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ ، فَقَالَ : يَا يَعْقُوبُ ، إِنَّ اللهَ يُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ ، وَيَقُولُ لَكَ : أَبْشِرْ ، وَلْيَفْرَحْ قَلْبُكَ ، وَعِزَّتِي لَوْ كَانَا مَيِّتَيْنِ لَنَشَرْتُهُمَا لَكَ ، فَاصْنَعْ طَعَامًا لِلْمَسَاكِينِ ، فَإِنَّ أَحَبَّ عِبَادِي إِلَيَّ الْمَسَاكِينُ ، وَتَدْرِي لِمَ أَذْهَبْتُ بَصَرَكَ وَقَوَّسْتُ ظَهْرَكَ ، وَصَنَعَ إِخْوَةُ يُوسُفَ مَا صَنَعُوا بِهِ ؟ إِنَّكُمْ ذَبَحْتُمْ شَاةً ، فَأَتَاكُمْ مِسْكِينٌ صَائِمٌ ، فَلَمْ تُطْعِمُوهُ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا ، وَكَانَ يَعْقُوبُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ إِذَا أَتَاهُ الْغَدَاءُ أَمَرَ مُنَادِيًا ، فَنَادَى : أَلَا مَنْ أَرَادَ الْغَدَاءَ مِنَ الْمَسَاكِينِ فَلْيَتَغَدَّى عِنْدَ يَعْقُوبَ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ صَائِمًا أَمَرَ مُنَادِيًا ، فَنَادَى : أَلَا مَنْ كَانَ صَائِمًا مِنَ الْمَسَاكِينِ فَلْيُفْطِرْ مَعَ يَعْقُوبَ .
I " لَا يُرْوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ I " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Ya'qub (peace be upon him) had a brother who was his close friend. One day he said to him: 'O Ya'qub! What took away your eyesight and what bent your back?' He said: 'As for my eyesight, weeping over Yusuf took it away, and as for my back, grief over Binyamin bent it.' Then Jibril (peace be upon him) came to him and said: 'O Ya'qub! Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, sends you greetings of peace and says: Are you not ashamed to complain about Me to someone other than Me?' Ya'qub (peace be upon him) said: 'I complain of my distress and my grief only to Allah.' Jibril (peace be upon him) said: 'O Ya'qub! Allah knows best what you complain of.' Then Ya'qub (peace be upon him) said: 'O my Lord! Will You not have mercy on this aged old man? You have taken my eyesight and bent my back, so return to me Yusuf, my sweet basil, so that I may smell him once before death; then, O Lord, do with me whatever You will.' Then Jibril (peace be upon him) came to him again and said: 'O Ya'qub! Allah sends you greetings of peace and says: Rejoice, and let your heart be glad. By My Might! Even if the two of them had died, I would have brought them back to life for you. Now prepare food for the poor, for the most beloved of My servants to Me are the poor. Do you know why I took away your eyesight, bent your back, and why the brothers of Yusuf did to him what they did? (It was because) you slaughtered a sheep, and a poor man who was fasting came to you, and you did not feed him anything from it.'" After that, whenever the morning meal was brought to Ya'qub (peace be upon him), he would order a caller, who would call out: "Listen! Whoever among the poor wants the morning meal, let him come and eat it with Ya'qub." And when he was fasting, he would order a caller, who would call out: "Listen! Whoever among the poor is fasting, let him break his fast with Ya'qub."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith is not narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) except with this chain; Wahb bin Baqiyyah is alone in narrating it."
