اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ الْعَلَّافُ الْمِصْرِيُّ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَعْدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَتَادَةَ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ، قَالَ: كَانَتْ لَيْلَةٌ شَدِيدَةُ الظُّلْمَةِ وَالْمَطَرِ، فَقُلْتُ: لَوْ أَنِّي اغْتَنَمْتُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ شُهُودَ الْعَتَمَةِ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَفَعَلْتُ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَبْصَرَنِي وَمَعَهُ عُرْجُونٌ يَمْشِي عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: «مَا لَكَ يَا قَتَادَةُ هَهُنَا هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ؟» ، قُلْتُ: اغْتَنَمْتُ شُهُودَ الصَّلَاةِ مَعَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهُ، فَأَعْطَانِيَ الْعُرْجُونَ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ قَدْ خَلْفَكَ فِي أَهْلِكَ، فَاذْهَبْ بِهَذَا الْعُرْجُونِ، فَأَمْسَكْ بِهِ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ بَيْتَكَ، فَخُذْهُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْبَيْتِ فَاضْرِبْهُ بِالْعُرْجُونِ» ، فَخَرَجْتُ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ، فَأَضَاءَ الْعُرْجُونُ مِثْلَ الشَّمْعَةِ نُورًا فَاسْتَضَأْتُ بِهِ، فَأَتَيْتُ أَهْلِي فَوَجَدْتُهُمْ رُقُودًا، فَنَظَرْتُ فِي الزَّاوِيَةِ، فَإِذَا فِيهَا قُنْفُذٌ، فَلَمْ أَزَلْ أَضْرِبُهُ بِالْعُرْجُونِ حَتَّى خَرَجَ
Sayyiduna Qatadah bin al-Nu'man (may Allah be pleased with him) said: There was a night of intense darkness and rain, and I said (to myself): If only I would seize this night as an opportunity to attend the Isha prayer with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). So I did that. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned to leave after the prayer, he saw me; he had with him a palm stalk ('urjun) on which he was leaning as he walked. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Qatadah, why are you here at this hour?" I said: O Messenger of Allah, I seized the opportunity to attend the prayer with you. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me the palm stalk and said: "Satan is behind you among your family (up to something). Take this palm stalk and hold on to it until you reach your house, then seize him from behind the house and strike him with it." So I left the mosque, and the palm stalk lit up like a candle, and I found my way by its light. I reached my house and found my family asleep. I looked in the corner, and there was a hedgehog (a spiny creature) there, and I kept striking it with the palm stalk until it went out.
