Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 15249 — Ikkaf bin Wada'ah al-Hilali came

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْخُزَاعِيُّ الْقَاضِي، ثنا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ، ثنا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُوسَى، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، عَنْ غُصَيفِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ بْنِ بُسْرٍ الْمَازِنِيِّ قَالَ: جَاءَ عَكَّافُ بْنُ وَدَاعَةَ الْهِلَالِيُّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَا عَكَّافُ، أَلَكَ زَوْجَةٌ؟» قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: «وَلَا جَارِيَةٌ؟» قَالَ: لَا. قَالَ: «وَأَنْتَ صَحِيحٌ مُوسِرٌ؟» قَالَ: نَعَمْ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، قَالَ: «فَأَنْتَ إِذًا مِنْ إِخَوَانِ الشَّيَاطِينِ، إِمَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنْ رُهْبَانِ النَّصَارَى فَأَنْتَ مِنْهُمْ، وَأَنْ تَكُونَ مِنَّا، فَاصْنَعْ كَمَا نَصْنَعُ، فَإِنَّ مِنْ سُنَّتِنَا النِّكَاحُ، شِرَارُكُمْ عُزَّابُكُمْ، وَأَرْذَلُ مَوْتَاكُمْ عُزَّابُكُمْ، أَفِي الشَّيْطَانِ تَمَرَّسُونَ مَا لَهُ فِي نَفْسِي سِلَاحٌ أَبْلَغُ فِي الصَّالِحِينَ مِنِ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ، إِلَّا الْمُتَزَوِّجُونَ أُولَئِكَ هم الْمُطَهَّرُونَ الْمُبَرَّءُونَ مِنَ الْخَنَا. وَيْحَكَ يَا عَكَّافٌ، إِنَّهُنَّ صَوَاحِبُ دَاوُدَ، وَصَوَاحِبُ يُوسُفَ، وَصَوَاحِبُ كُرْسُفَ» قَالَ عَطِيَّةُ: وَمَنْ كُرْسُفُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: «رَجُلٌ كَانَ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى سَاحِلٍ مِنْ سَوَاحِلِ الْبَحْرِ، يَصُومُ النَّهَارَ، وَيَقُومُ اللَّيْلَ، لَا يَفْتُرُ مِنْ صِيَامٍ، وَلَا صَلَاةٍ، كَفَرَ مِنْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِاللهِ الْعَظِيمِ فِي سَبَبِ امْرَأَةٍ عَشِقَهَا، فَتَرَكَ مَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ عُبَادَةِ رَبِّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَتَدَارَكَهُ اللهُ عَمَّا سَلَفَ مِنْهُ فَتَابَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ، وَيْحَكَ يَا عَكَّافٌ، تَزَوَّجْ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ الْمُذْنِبِينَ» فَقَالَ عَكَّافٌ: لَا أَبْرَحُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ حَتَّى تَزَوَّجَنِي مَنْ شِئْتَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَقَدْ زَوَّجْتُكَ عَلَى اسْمِ اللهِ وَبَرَكَتِهِ كَرِيمَةَ بِنْتَ كُلْثُومٍ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ»
Atiyyah bin Busr al-Mazini said: Ikkaf bin Wada'ah al-Hilali (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "O Ikkaf, do you have a wife?" He said: No. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Nor a slave-girl?" He said: No. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And you are healthy and well-off?" He said: Yes, all praise is for Allah. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then you are one of the brothers of the devils. Either you are one of the monks of the Christians, in which case you are counted among them, or you are one of us, in which case do as we do, for marriage is part of our Sunnah. The worst of you are your unmarried ones, and the lowliest of your dead are those who die unmarried. Will you just stand like this before Satan? He has no weapon more effective than this against righteous men and women, except that married people are the purified ones, free of indecency. Woe to you, O Ikkaf! These women are the companions of Dawud, the companions of Yusuf, and the companions of Kursuf." Atiyyah said: I asked: Who was Kursuf, O Messenger of Allah? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A man among the Children of Israel who lived on the seashore. He fasted by day and stood in prayer by night, never tiring of fasting or prayer. Then, after that, he disbelieved in Allah the Magnificent, having fallen in love with a woman, and he abandoned the worship of his Lord. Then Allah rescued him by virtue of his former state and accepted his repentance. Woe to you, O Ikkaf! Get married, for you are among the sinners." Ikkaf (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah, I will not move from here until you marry me to whomever you wish. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have married you, in the name of Allah and with His blessing, to Karimah bint Kulthum al-Himyari."
