Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 7157 — he said: One day I came to the Prophet ﷺ

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ ، ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عِيسَى الْمِصْرِيُّ ، ثَنَا ضِمَامُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ ، وَمُوسَى بْنُ وَرْدَانَ ، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ قَالَ : أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا ، فَرَأَيْتُهُ مُتَغَيِّرًا قَالَ : قُلْتُ : بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي ، مَا لِيَ أَرَاكَ مُتَغَيِّرًا ؟ قَالَ : مَا دَخَلَ جَوْفِي مَا يَدْخُلُ جَوْفَ ذَاتِ كَبِدٍ مُنْذُ ثَلَاثٍ قَالَ : فَذَهَبْتُ فَإِذَا يَهُودِيٌّ يَسْقِي إِبِلًا لَهُ ، فَسَقَيْتُ لَهُ ، عَلَى كُلِّ دَلْوٍ تَمْرَةٌ ، فَجَمَعْتُ تَمْرًا ، فَأَتَيْتُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : I " مِنْ أَيْنَ لَكَ يَا كَعْبُ ؟ I " ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : I " أَتُحِبُّنِي يَا كَعْبُ ؟ I " قُلْتُ : بِأَبِي أَنْتَ ، نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : I " إِنَّ الْفَقْرَ أَسْرَعُ إِلَى مَنْ يُحِبُّنِي مِنَ السَّيْلِ إِلَى مَعَادِنِهِ ، وَإِنَّهُ سَيُصِيبُكَ بَلَاءٌ ، فَأَعِدَّ لَهُ تَجْفَافًا I " قَالَ : فَقَدَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : I " مَا فَعَلَ كَعْبٌ ؟ I " قَالُوا : مَرِيضٌ ، فَخَرَجَ يَمْشِي حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : I " أَبْشِرْ يَا كَعْبُ I " ، فَقَالَتْ أُمُّهُ : هَنِيئًا لَكَ الْجَنَّةُ يَا كَعْبُ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : I " مَنْ هَذِهِ الْمُتَأَلِّيَةُ عَلَى اللهِ ؟ I " قَالَ : هِيَ أُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، قَالَ : I " مَا يُدْرِيكِ يَا أَمَّ كَعْبٍ ؟ لَعَلَّ كَعْبًا قَالَ مَا لَا يَنْفَعُهُ ، أَوْ مَنَعَ مَا لَا يُغْنِيهِ I " .
I " لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ كَعْبٍ إِلَّا مُوسَى بْنُ وَرْدَانَ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ : ضِمَامٌ I " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "One day I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and found the colour of his blessed face changed." I said: "May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, why do I see your colour changed?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "For three days nothing has entered my stomach of what enters the stomach of any living creature." He said: I went out and saw a Jew watering his camels, so I watered (the camels) for him (drawing water from the well), at a wage of one date for every bucket. I collected some dates and brought them to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "O Ka'b, where did you get these from?" I told him the whole matter, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Ka'b, do you love me?" I said: "May my father be sacrificed for you, yes!" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed poverty rushes towards the one who loves me faster than a flood rushes to its low ground; and soon a trial will afflict you, so prepare a shield for it." The narrator says: Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) found Ka'b absent and asked: "What has happened to Ka'b?" The people said that he was ill. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) walked on foot to visit him and said to him: "Rejoice, O Ka'b." His mother said: "Congratulations on Paradise, O Ka'b." the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Who is this woman swearing (decisively) about Allah?" Ka'b said: "O Messenger of Allah, she is my mother." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Umm Ka'b, what makes you know? Perhaps Ka'b said something that would not benefit him, or withheld (from spending) something he had no need of."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) except Musa bin Wardan, and Dimam is alone in narrating it."
