Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 10319 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: O Ibn

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي حَسَّانَ الْأَنْمَاطِيُّ، ثنا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، ثنا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنِي بُكَيْرُ بْنُ مَعْرُوفٍ، عَنْ مُقَاتِلِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَا ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ» ، قُلْتُ: لَبَّيْكَ ثَلَاثًا، قَالَ: «هَلْ تَدْرُونَ أَيُّ عُرَى الْإِيمَانِ أَوْثَقُ؟» قُلْتُ: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: «الْوَلَايَةُ فِي اللهِ، وَالْحُبُّ فِي اللهِ، وَالْبُغْضُ فِي اللهِ»
قَالَ: «يَا ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ» ، قُلْتُ: لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: «أَيُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَفْضَلُ؟» قُلْتُ: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: «إِذا عَرَفُوا دِينَهُمْ أَحْسَنُهُمْ عَمَلًا»
ثُمَّ قَالَ: «يَا ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ، هَلْ تَدْرِي أَيُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَعْلَمُ؟» قُلْتُ: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: «إِذَا اخْتَلَفُوا - وَشَبَّكَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ - أَبْصَرُهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ، وَإِنْ كَانَ فِي عَمَلِهِ تَقْصِيرٌ، وَإِنْ كَانَ يَزْحَفُ زَحْفًا»
ثُمَّ قَالَ: " يَا ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ، هَلْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ افْتَرَقُوا عَلَى اثْنَتَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً، لَمْ يَنْجُ مِنْهَا إِلَّا ثَلَاثُ فِرَقٍ، فِرْقَةٌ أَقَامَتْ فِي الْمُلُوكِ وَالْجَبَابِرَةِ، فَدَعَتْ إِلَى دِينِ عِيسَى، فَأُخِذَتْ فَقُتِلَتْ بِالْمَنَاشِيرِ، وَحُرِّقَتْ بِالنِّيرَانِ، فَصَبَرَتْ حَتَّى لَحِقَتْ بِاللهِ، ثُمَّ قَامَتْ طَائِفَةٌ أُخْرَى لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُمْ قُوَّةٌ، وَلَمْ تُطِقِ الْقِيَامَ بِالْقِسْطَ، فَلَحِقَتْ بِالْجِبَالِ، فَتَعَبَّدَتْ وَتَرَهَّبَتْ، وَهُمُ الَّذِينَ ذَكَرَهُمُ اللهُ فَقَالَ {وَرَهْبَانِيَّةً ابْتَدَعُوهَا مَا كَتَبْنَاهَا عَلَيْهِمْ إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ رِضْوَانَ اللهِ} [الحديد: ٢٧] إِلَى {وَكَثِيرٌ مِنْهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ} [الحديد: ١٦] ، وَفِرْقَةٌ مِنْهُمْ آمَنَتْ، فَهُمُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَصَدَّقُونِي، وَهُمُ الَّذِينَ رَعَوْهَا حَقَّ رِعَايَتِهَا، وَكَثِيرٌ مِنْهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ، وَهُمُ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِي وَلَمْ يُصَدِّقُونِي، وَلَمْ يَرْعَوْهَا حَقَّ رِعَايَتِهَا، وَهُمُ الَّذِينَ فَسَّقَهُمُ اللهُ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Ibn Mas'ud!" I said three times: "Labbayk (Here I am)." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you know which handhold of faith is the firmest?" I said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Friendship for the sake of Allah, love for the sake of Allah, and hatred for the sake of Allah."
Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Ibn Mas'ud!" I said: "Here I am, O Messenger of Allah." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Who is the best of the believers?" I said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When they know their religion, the one among them who is best in deeds."
Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Ibn Mas'ud! Do you know who is the most knowledgeable of the believers?" I said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When they differ - and he (peace and blessings be upon him) interlaced his fingers - the one among them with the clearest insight into the truth, even if he falls short in his deeds, and even if he has to crawl along."
Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Ibn Mas'ud! Do you know that the Children of Israel split into seventy-two (72) sects, of which only three sects were saved? One sect lived among the kings and tyrants and kept calling to the religion of Isa (Jesus) (peace be upon him); they were seized, sawn apart with saws and burned with fire, but they remained patient until they met Allah. Then another group rose up who had no strength (to resist) and were unable to stand up for justice, so they went off to the mountains and took to worship and monasticism; they are the ones whom Allah Almighty mentioned when He said: 'And monasticism, which they innovated; We did not prescribe it for them, except (that they did it) seeking the pleasure of Allah' [Surah al-Hadid: 27] up to 'and many of them are disobedient' [Surah al-Hadid: 16]. And one sect of them believed; they are the ones who believed and affirmed my truthfulness, and they are the ones who observed it (monasticism) as it ought to be observed. 'And many of them are disobedient': they are the ones who did not believe in me and did not affirm my truthfulness, nor did they observe it as it ought to be observed, and they are the ones whom Allah declared disobedient."
