Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 7996 — Sulayman bin Nafi' al-Abdi

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ هَارُونَ ، نَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ رَاهَوَيْهِ ، أَخْبَرَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ بِحَلَبَ قَالَ : قَالَ لِي أَبِي : وَفَدَ الْمُنْذِرُ بْنُ سَاوَى مِنَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ حَتَّى أَتَى مَدِينَةَ الرَّسُولِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَمَعَ الْمُنْذِرِ أُنَاسٌ ، وَأَنَا غُلَيْمٌ لَا أَعْقِلُ ، أُمْسِكُ جِمَالَهُمْ قَالَ : فَذَهَبُوا مَعَ سِلَاحِهِمْ ، فَسَلَّمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَوَضَعَ الْمُنْذِرُ سِلَاحَهُ ، وَلَبِسَ ثِيَابًا كَانَتْ مَعَهُ ، وَمَسَحَ لِحْيَتَهُ بِدُهْنٍ ، فَأَتَى نَبِيَّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَنَا مَعَ الْجِمَالِ أَنْظُرُ إِلَى نَبِيِّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ . فَقَالَ الْمُنْذِرُ ، قَالَ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : I " رَأَيْتُ مِنْكَ مَا لَمْ أَرَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ I " . قُلْتُ : وَمَا رَأَيْتَ مِنِّي يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ : I " وَضَعْتَ سِلَاحَكَ ، وَلَبِسْتَ ثِيَابَكَ ، وَتَدَهَّنْتَ I " . قُلْتُ : يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ ، أَفَشَيْءٌ جُبِلْتُ عَلَيْهِ أَمْ شَيْءٌ أَحْدَثْتُهُ ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : I " لَا ، بَلْ شَيْءٌ جُبِلْتَ عَلَيْهِ I " . فَسَلَّمُوا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَسْلَمَتْ عَبْدُ الْقَيْسِ طَوْعًا ، وَأَسْلَمَ النَّاسُ كَرْهًا ، فَبَارَكَ اللهُ فِي عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ ، وَمَوَالِي عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ I " قَالَ لِي أَبِي : نَظَرْتُ إِلَى نَبِيِّ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - كَمَا أَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْكَ ، وَلَكِنِّي لَمْ أَعْقِلْ قَالَ : وَمَاتَ أَبِي وَهُوَ ابْنُ عِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةِ سَنَةٍ . I "
لَا يُرْوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ نَافِعٍ الْعَبْدِيِّ إِلَّا بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ : إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ رَاهَوَيْهِ I " .
Sulayman bin Nafi' al-Abdi (may Allah have mercy on him) related in Aleppo that his father (Nafi' al-Abdi) said to him: "Al-Mundhir bin Sawa set out from Bahrain with a delegation until he reached Madinah, the city of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). There were other people with al-Mundhir, and I was a young boy who did not yet understand things; I held on to their camels. They went with their weapons and greeted the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with salam. Al-Mundhir put down his weapons, put on clothes he had with him, and applied oil to his beard; then he came to the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and greeted him with salam, while I was standing by the camels watching the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." Al-Mundhir related that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "I have seen in you something that I have not seen in your companions." I said: "O Prophet of Allah, what did you see in me?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You put down your weapons, put on your clothes and applied oil." I said: "O Prophet of Allah, is this something upon which my nature was created, or something I have taken up myself?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "No, rather it is something upon which your nature was created." Then they all greeted the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with salam, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: "Abd al-Qays accepted Islam willingly, while other people accepted Islam unwillingly. So may Allah bless Abd al-Qays and the mawali (clients) of Abd al-Qays." My father said to me: "I saw the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) just as I am seeing you now, but at that time I did not understand things." Sulayman said: "My father died at the age of one hundred and twenty years."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith is not narrated from Nafi' al-Abdi except with this chain, and Ishaq bin Rahwayh is alone in narrating it."
