Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 7500 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Among

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، نَا أَبُو زُهَيْرٍ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَغْرَاءَ ، عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ فَضَالَةَ ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْمُزَنِيِّ ، نَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : I " إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِيمَنْ سَلَفَ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ : مُوَرِّقٌ ، وَكَانَ مُتَعَبِّدًا ، فَبَيْنَا هُوَ قَائِمٌ فِي صَلَاتِهِ ذَكَرَ النِّسَاءَ ، فَاشْتَهَاهُنَّ ، وَانْتَشَرَ حَتَّى قَطَعَ صَلَاتَهُ ، فَغَضِبَ ، فَأَخَذَ قَوْسَهُ ، فَقَطَعَ وَتَرَهُ ، فَعَقَدَهُ بِخُصْيَيْهِ ، وَشَدَّهُ إِلَى عَقِبَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ مَدَّ رِجْلَيْهِ ، فَانْتَزَعَهُمَا ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ طِمْرَيْهِ وَنَعْلَيْهِ ، حَتَّى أَتَى أَرْضًا لَا أَنِيسَ بِهَا وَلَا وَحْشَ ، فَاتَّخَذَ عَرِيشًا ، ثُمَّ قَامَ يُصَلِّي ، فَجَعَلَ كُلَّمَا أَصْبَحَ انْصَدَعَتْ لَهُ الْأَرْضُ ، فَخَرَجَ لَهُ خَارِجٌ مِنْهَا مَعَهُ إِنَاءٌ فِيهِ طَعَامٌ فَيَأْكُلُ حَتَّى يَشْبَعَ ، ثُمَّ يَدْخُلُ فَيَخْرُجُ بِإِنَاءٍ فِيهِ شَرَابٌ فَيَشْرَبُ حَتَّى يَرْوَى ، ثُمَّ يَدْخُلُ وَتَلْتَئِمُ الْأَرْضُ ، فَإِذَا أَمْسَى فَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ I " .
قَالَ : I " وَمَرَّ أُنَاسٌ قَرِيبًا مِنْهُ ، فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلَانِ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ فَمَرَّا عَلَيْهِ تَحْتَ اللَّيْلِ ، فَسَأَلَاهُ عَنْ قَصْدِهِمَا فَسَمَتَ لَهُمَا بِيَدِهِ ، قَالَ : هَذَا قَصْدُكُمَا ، وَقَالَ : هَذَا قَصْدُكُمَا حَيْثُ تُرِيدَانِ ، فَسَارَا غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا : مَا يُسْكِنُ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ هَاهُنَا ، أَرْضٌ لَا أَنِيسَ بِهَا وَلَا وَحْشَ ، لَوْ رَجَعْنَا إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى نَعْلَمَ عِلْمَهُ قَالَ : فَرَجَعَا ، فَقَالَا لَهُ : يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ ، مَا يُقِيمُكَ بِهَذَا الْمَكَانِ بِأَرْضٍ لَا أَنِيسَ بِهَا وَلَا وَحْشَ قَالَ : امْضِيَا لِشَأْنِكُمَا وَدَعَانِي ، فَأَبَيَا وَأَلَحَّا عَلَيْهِ ، قَالَ : فَإِنِّي مُخْبِرُكُمَا عَلَى أَنَّ مَنْ كَتَمَهُ عَلَيَّ مِنْكُمَا أَكْرَمَهُ اللهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ ، وَمَنْ أَظْهَرَ عَلَيَّ مِنْكُمَا أَهَانَهُ اللهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ ، قَالَا : نَعَمْ I " .
قَالَ : فَنَزَلَا ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَا خَرَجَ الْخَارِجُ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ مِثْلَ الَّذِي كَانَ يُخْرِجُ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ وَمِثْلَيْهِ مَعَهُ ، فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِشَرَابٍ فِي إِنَاءٍ مِثْلِ الَّذِي كَانَ يَخْرُجُ بِهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ وَمِثْلَيْهِ مَعَهُ ، فَشَرِبُوا حَتَّى رَوَوْا ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ وَالْتَأَمَتِ الْأَرْضُ ، قَالَ : فَنَظَرَ أَحَدُهُمَا إِلَى صَاحِبِهِ ، فَقَالَ : مَا يُعَجِّلُنَا ! هَذَا طَعَامٌ وَشَرَابٌ ، وَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا سَمْتَنَا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ ، امْكُثْ إِلَى الْعَشَاءِ ، فَمَكَثَا فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنَ الْعَشَاءِ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ وَالشَّرَابِ مِثْلُ الَّذِي خَرَجَ أَوَّلَ النَّهَارِ ، فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ : امْكُثْ بِنَا حَتَّى نُصْبِحَ ، فَمَكَثَا ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحُوا خَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمَا مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ ، ثُمَّ رَكِبَا فَانْطَلَقَا ، فَأَمَّا أَحَدُهُمَا فَلَزِمَ بَابَ الْمَلِكِ حَتَّى كَانَ مِنْ خَاصَّتِهِ وَسَمَرِهِ ، وَأَمَّا الْآخَرُ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَى تِجَارَتِهِ وَعَمَلِهِ .
وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الْمَلِكُ لَا يَكْذِبُ أَحَدٌ فِي زَمَانِهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَمْلَكَتِهِ كَذِبَةً يُعْرَفُ بِهَا إِلَّا صَلَبَهُ ، فَبَيْنَا هُمْ لَيْلَةً فِي السَّمَرِ يُحَدِّثُونَهُ مِمَّا رَأَوْا مِنَ الْعَجَائِبِ ، أَنْشَأَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ يُحَدِّثُ ، قَالَ : لَأُحَدِّثَنَّكَ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ بِحَدِيثٍ مَا سَمِعْتَ أَعْجَبَ مِنْهُ قَطُّ ، فَحَدَّثَ حَدِيثَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي رَأَى مِنْ أَمْرِهِ . قَالَ الْمَلِكُ : مَا سَمِعْتُ بِكَذِبٍ قَطُّ أَعْظَمَ مِنْ هَذَا ، وَاللهِ لَتَأْتِيَنِّي عَلَى مَا قُلْتَ بِبَيِّنَةٍ أَوْ لَأَصْلُبَنَّكَ ، قَالَ : بَيِّنَتِي فُلَانٌ ، قَالَ : رِضًى ، ائْتُونِي بِهِ ، فَلَمَّا أَتَاهُ قَالَ لَهُ الْمَلِكُ : إِنَّ هَذَا قَالَ : إِنَّكُمَا مَرَرْتُمَا بِرَجُلٍ ، ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ كَذَا وَكَذَا ؟ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ : أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ ، أَوَلَسْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا كَذِبٌ ، وَهَذَا مَا لَا يَكُونُ ، وَلَوْ أَنِّي حَدَّثْتُكَ بِهَذَا كَانَ عَلَيْكَ فِي الْحَقِّ أَنْ تَصْلُبَنِي عَلَيْهِ ؟ قَالَ : صَدَقْتَ وَبَرَرْتَ I " .
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : I " فَأَدْخَلَ الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي كَتَمَ عَلَيْهِ فِي خَاصَّتِهِ وَسَمَرِهِ ، وَأَمَرَ بِالْآخَرِ فَصُلِبَ I " ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : I " فَأَمَّا الَّذِي كَتَمَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْهُمَا فَقَدْ أَكْرَمَهُ اللهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ ، وَأَمَّا الَّذِي أَظْهَرَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْهُمَا فَقَدْ أَهَانَهُ اللهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا ، وَهُوَ مُهِينُهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ I " .
ثُمَّ نَظَرَ بَكْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ إِلَى ثُمَامَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ ، فَقَالَ : يَا أَبَا الْمُثَنَّى ، أَسَمِعْتَ جَدَّكَ يُحَدِّثُ هَذَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ : I " نَعَمْ I " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Among the nations of the past there was a man called Muwarriq, and he was a great worshipper. Once, while he was standing in his prayer, he thought of women, desire for them arose in his heart, and lust overcame him so much that he broke off his prayer. He became angry (with himself), took his bow, cut its string, tied it to his testicles and fastened (the other end) to his heels, then stretched out his legs and tore them out by the root. Then he took his worn-out clothes and his sandals and went out to a land where there was neither any human being nor any wild animal. There he made himself a shelter and occupied himself with prayer. His state was such that whenever morning came, the earth would split open for him and a person would come out of it with a vessel containing food, and he would eat until he was full. Then that person would go back in and come out with something to drink, and he would drink until his thirst was quenched; then the person would go back in and the earth would close up. In the evening the same thing would happen."
He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Some people passed near him, and two men from among them came to him at night and asked him about their way. He pointed it out to them with his hand and said: 'This is your way, where you wish to go.' They had gone only a short distance when one of them said: 'What has made this man settle here, in a land where there is neither any human being nor any wild animal? What if we go back to him and find out about his state?' So the two went back and said to him: 'O servant of Allah, what is the reason for your staying in this place, where there is no companion and no animal?' He said: 'Go about your business and leave me to my state.' They refused and kept insisting. He said: 'I will tell you on one condition: whichever of you keeps my secret, Allah will honour him in this world and the Hereafter, and whichever of you discloses my secret, Allah will disgrace him in this world and the Hereafter.' They said: 'We accept.'"
He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "So the two of them stayed there. When morning came, that same person came out of the earth, bringing as much food as he used to bring (every day) and twice as much again along with it, and they all ate their fill. Then he went in and brought as much drink as he used to bring every day and twice as much again along with it, and they all drank until their thirst was quenched; then he went back in and the earth closed up. One of them said to his companion: 'What is our hurry? Here is food and drink, and we already know our way; let us stay here until evening.' So they stayed. In the evening as much food and drink came out as had come out at the start of the day. Then one of them said to his companion: 'Let us stay here until morning.' They stayed, and in the morning the same thing happened. Then they mounted their riding animals and set off. One of them attached himself to the king's door until he became one of his close courtiers and his companion in night conversation, while the other went his way to his trade and his work."
"In that king's time the rule was that if anyone in his kingdom told a lie and was found out, he would crucify him. One night they were all sitting in the gathering telling the king of the wonders they had seen, when that man took up the conversation and said: 'O king, I will tell you something the like of which you have never heard.' Then he told him the whole story of that worshipper as he had seen it. The king said: 'I have never heard a greater lie than this. By Allah, bring some proof of what you are saying, or I will crucify you.' He said: 'My witness is so-and-so.' The king said: 'Very well, bring him to me.' When that other man came, the king said to him: 'This man says that the two of you passed by a man whose affair was such and such?' The man said: 'O king, do you not know that this is a sheer lie and that such a thing cannot happen? If I told you such a thing, it would be only right for you to crucify me.' The king said: 'You have spoken the truth and spoken rightly.'"
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then the king admitted the man who had kept the secret among his close favourites and companions, and gave an order concerning the other, and he was crucified." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "As for the one who kept his secret, Allah honoured him in this world and the Hereafter; and as for the one who disclosed his secret, Allah disgraced him in this world, and He will disgrace him in the Hereafter as well."
Then Bakr bin Abdullah (may Allah have mercy on him) looked at Thumamah bin Abdullah bin Anas (may Allah have mercy on him) and asked: "O Abu al-Muthanna, did you hear your grandfather narrate this hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He replied: "Yes."
