Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 6614 — I was asking people in Kufah about Sayyiduna

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ابْنُ الْإِمَامِ ، ثَنَا أَبُو حَفْصٍ عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ هِشَامٍ الدَّسْتُوَائِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ حُذَيْفَةَ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ أَسْأَلُ النَّاسَ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ وَهُوَ إِلَى جَنْبِي بِالْكُوفَةِ ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ ، فَقُلْتُ : مَا حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكَ ؟ فَقَالَ : بُعِثَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ بُعِثَ ، فَكُنْتُ مِنْ أَشَدِّ النَّاسِ لَهُ كَرَاهَةً ، حَتَّى انْطَلَقْتُ هَارِبًا ، حَتَّى لَحِقْتُ بِأَرْضِ الشَّامِ ، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا كَذَلِكَ إِذْ بَلَغَنَا أَنَّ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ قَدْ وُجِّهَ إِلَيْنَا ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ هَارِبًا حَتَّى لَحِقْتُ بِأَرْضِ الرُّومِ ، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا كَذَلِكَ فِي ظِلِّ حَائِطٍ قَاعِدًا إِذَا أَنَا بِظَعِينَةٍ قَدْ أَقْبَلَتْ ، فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهَا ، فَإِذَا هِيَ عَمَّتِي ، فَقَالَتْ : يَا عَدِيُّ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ ، هَرَبْتَ وَتَرَكْتَنِي ، مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ خَرَجْتَ مِنْ عِنْدِنَا ، فَصَبَّحَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ فَسَبَى الذُّرِّيَّةَ ، وَقَتَلَ الْمُقَاتِلَةَ ، فَانْطَلَقْنَا حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ . فَبَيْنَا أَنَا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ قَاعِدَةٌ إِذْ مَرَّ بِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ الصَّلَاةَ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، هَلَكَ الْوَالِدُ ، وَهَرَبَ الْوَافِدُ ، أَعْتِقْنِي أَعْتَقَكَ اللهُ ، قَالَ : وَمَنْ وَافِدُكِ ؟ I " قُلْتُ : عَدِيُّ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ ، قَالَ : I " الْهَارِبُ مِنَ اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ؟ وَمَضَى ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْيَوْمُ الثَّانِي مَرَّ بِي وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ الصَّلَاةَ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، هَلَكَ الْوَالِدُ ، وَهَرَبَ الْوَافِدُ ، أَعْتِقْنِي أَعْتَقَكَ اللهُ ، قَالَ : I " وَمَنْ وَافِدُكِ ؟ I " قُلْتُ : عَدِيُّ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ ، قَالَ : I " الْهَارِبُ مِنَ اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ I " وَمَضَى وَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ شَيْئًا ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْيَوْمُ الثَّالِثُ مَرَّ ، فَاحْتَشَمْتُ أَنْ أَقُولَ لَهُ شَيْئًا ، فَغَمَزَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، هَلَكَ الْوَالِدُ وَهَرَبَ الْوَافِدُ ، أَعْتَقَنِي أَعْتَقَكَ اللهُ ، قَالَ : I " وَمَنْ وَافِدُكِ ؟ I " قُلْتُ : عَدِيُّ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ ، قَالَ : I " الْهَارِبُ مِنَ اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ I " ، قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : I " فَإِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ أَعْتَقَكِ ، فَأَقِيمِي وَلَا تَبْرَحِي حَتَّى يَجِيئَنَا شَيْءٌ فَنُجَهِّزُكِ I " ، فَأَقَمْتُ ثَلَاثًا ، فَقَدِمَتْ رُفْقَةٌ مِنْ سَرْحٍ تَحْمِلُ الطَّعَامَ ، فَحَمَلَنِي عَلَى هَذَا الْقَعُودِ وَزَوَّدَنِي ، يَا عَدِيُّ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ ائْتِهِ ، ائْتِهِ فَخُذْ نَصِيبَكَ مِنْهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْبِقَكَ إِلَيْهِ مَنْ لَيْسَ مِثْلَكَ مِنْ قَوْمِكَ ، فَأَقْبَلْتُ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَاسْتَشْرَفَنِي النَّاسُ ، وَقَالُوا : جَاءَ عَدِيُّ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ ، فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : I " يَا عَدِيُّ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ ، أَنْتَ الْهَارِبُ مِنَ اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ؟ I " قُلْتُ : إِنَّ لِي دِينًا ، قَالَ : I " أَنَا أَعْلَمُ بِدِينِكَ مِنْكَ ، أَلَسْتَ رَكُوسِيًّا ، أَوَلَسْتَ رَئِيسَ قَوْمٍ ، أَوَلَسْتَ تَأْخُذُ الْمِرْبَاعَ ؟ I " فَأَخَذَنِي لِذَلِكَ غَضَاضَةٌ ، قَالَ : I " أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَا يَمْنَعُكَ أَنْ تُسْلِمَ إِلَّا أَنَّكَ تَرَى لِمَنْ حَوْلَنَا خَصَاصَةً ، وَتَرَى النَّاسَ عَلَيْنَا إِلْبًا وَاحِدًا ، يَا عَدِيُّ يُوشِكُ أَنْ تَرَى الظَّعِينَةَ تَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْحِيرَةِ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ الْبَيْتَ بِغَيْرِ جِوَارٍ ، وَيُوشِكُ أَنْ تُفْتَحَ عَلَيْنَا كُنُوزُ كِسْرَى I " ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : كِسْرَى بْنُ هُرْمُزَ ؟ قَالَ : I " كِسْرَى بْنُ هُرْمُزَ ، وَيُوشِكُ أَنْ يُخْرِجَ الرَّجُلُ الصَّدَقَةَ مِنْ مَالِهِ وَلَا يَجِدُ مَنْ يَقْبَلُهَا مِنْهُ I " قَالَ : I " فَكُنْتُ فِي أَوَّلِ خَيْلٍ أَغَارَتْ عَلَى كُنُوزِ كِسْرَى ، وَرَأَيْتُ الظَّعِينَةَ تَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْحِيرَةِ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ مَكَّةَ بِغَيْرِ جِوَارٍ ، وَايْمُ اللهِ لَتَكُونَنَّ الثَّالِثَةُ ، إِنَّ قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَقٌّ I " .
I " لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ إِلَّا هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتَوَائِيُّ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ ابْنُهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ I " .
Abu Ubaydah bin Hudhayfah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: I was asking people in Kufah about Sayyiduna Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him), even though he was living (right there) beside me. So I went to him and said: "What is the hadith that has reached me from you?" He said: "When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent (as a prophet), I was among those who hated him most intensely, until I ran away (leaving my land) and reached the land of Syria. While I was staying there, news reached us that Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) had been dispatched towards us, so I fled from there too and reached the land of the Byzantines (Rum). Then, while I was sitting in the shade of a wall, I suddenly saw a woman in a litter approaching. I got up and went towards her, and saw that she was my paternal aunt. (On seeing me) she said: 'O Adi bin Hatim! You ran away and left me (alone). You had hardly left us when Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) raided us in the morning, took the children captive and killed the fighting men. Then we set off from there until we were brought to Madinah. (She said:) One day I was sitting when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by; he (peace and blessings be upon him) was on his way to the prayer. I said: O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! The father has died and the guardian has run away; do me a kindness and set me free, and Allah will do you a kindness. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "And who is your guardian?" I said: Adi bin Hatim. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who runs away from Allah and His Messenger?" Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) went on. On the second day he (peace and blessings be upon him) again passed by on his way to the prayer, and I again said the same: O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! The father has died and the guardian has run away; do me a kindness and release me, and Allah will do you a kindness. He (peace and blessings be upon him) again asked: "And who is your guardian?" I said: Adi bin Hatim. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who runs away from Allah and His Messenger," and he (peace and blessings be upon him) went on and gave me no answer. On the third day, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by, I could not say anything out of shyness, but Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) gave me a sign. So I said: O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! The father has died and the guardian has run away; do me a kindness and set me free, and Allah will reward you for it. He (peace and blessings be upon him) again asked: "And who is your guardian?" I said: Adi bin Hatim. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who runs away from Allah and His Messenger." I said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah has set you free. Now stay here and do not leave until something (such as a caravan) comes to us by which we can send you off." (The aunt said:) I stayed for three days, then a caravan of the tribe of Sarh arrived carrying grain, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) mounted me on this riding camel and gave me provisions for the journey.' (Then she said to me:) 'O Adi bin Hatim! Go to him (peace and blessings be upon him), do go to him and take your share from him, before someone else from your people who is not (as honoured) as you gets ahead of you to him.'" (Adi, may Allah be pleased with him, said:) "So I set off until I reached Madinah. People began looking at me (in surprise) and saying: 'Adi bin Hatim has come!' Then I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'O Adi bin Hatim! Are you the one who runs away from Allah and His Messenger?' I said: 'I have a religion of my own.' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'I know your religion better than you do. Are you not a Rakusi? And are you not the chief of your people, and do you not take a quarter of the spoils from them?' Hearing this, I began to feel ashamed. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Look! The only thing that prevents you from accepting Islam is that you see the people around us empty-handed, and you see that all the people have united against us. O Adi! Soon you will see a secluded woman in a litter set out alone from al-Hirah and reach the House of Allah without anyone's protection, and soon the treasures of Kisra will be opened to us.' I asked: 'Of Kisra bin Hurmuz?' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Yes, of Kisra bin Hurmuz. And soon a time will come when a man will go out with charity from his wealth but will find no one to accept it from him.'" (Sayyiduna Adi, may Allah be pleased with him, said:) "Two of these things I have seen (with my own eyes): I was in the first cavalry that raided the treasures of Kisra, and I saw the secluded woman in the litter who set out from al-Hirah and reached Makkah without anyone's protection. And by Allah, the third will surely come to pass too, for the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is true."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Qatadah except Hisham al-Dastuwa'i, and his son Abdullah is alone in narrating it (from him)."
