Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 18413 — I came to the Prophet ﷺ at Masjid

حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ سِنَانٍ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْمِقْدَامِ أَبُو الْأَشْعَثِ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، ثنا الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ ثَعْلَبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ الْهُذَلِيِّ، عَنْ وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ قَالَ: تَرَاءَيْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَسْجِدِ الْخَيْفِ فَقَالَ لِي أَصْحَابُهُ: إِلَيْكَ يَا وَاثِلَةُ، أَيْ تَنَحَّ عَنْ وَجْهِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «دَعُوهُ فَإِنَّمَا جَاءَ لِيَسْأَلَ» فَدَنَوْتُ، فَقُلْتُ: بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَفْتِنَا عَنْ أَمْرٍ نَأْخُذُهُ عَنْكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ، قَالَ: «لِتُعِنْكَ نَفْسُكَ» فَقَالَ " كَيْفَ لِي بِذَلِكَ؟ فَقَالَ: «تَدَعُ مَا يَرِيبُكَ إِلَى مَا لَا يَرِيبُكَ وَإِنْ أَفْتَاكَ الْمَفْتُونَ» فَقُلْتُ: وَكَيْفَ لِي بِعِلْمِ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ: «تَضَعُ يَدَكَ عَلَى فُؤَادِكَ، فَإِنَّ الْقَلْبَ يَسْكُنُ لِلْحَلَالِ، وَلَا يَسْكُنُ لِلْحَرَامِ، وَإِنَّ وَرَعَ الْمُسْلِمِ يَدَعُ الصَّغِيرَ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَقَعَ فِي الْكَبِيرِ» قُلْتُ: بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي مَا الْعَصَبِيَّةُ؟ قَالَ: «الَّذِي يُعِينُ قَوْمَهُ عَلَى الظُّلْمِ» قُلْتُ: فَمَنِ الْحَرِيصُ؟ قَالَ: «الَّذِي يَطْلُبُ الْمكسبةَ مِنْ غَيْرِ حِلِّهَا» قُلْتُ: فَمَنِ الْوَرَعِ؟ قَالَ: «الَّذِي يَقِفُ عِنْدَ الشُّبْهَةِ» قُلْتُ: فَمَنِ الْمُؤْمِنُ؟ قَالَ: «مِنْ أَمِنَهُ النَّاسُ عَلَى أَمْوَالِهِمْ وَدِمَائِهِمْ» قُلْتُ: فَمَنِ الْمُسْلِمُ؟ قَالَ: «مَنْ سَلِمَ النَّاسُ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ» ، قُلْتُ: فَأَيُّ الْجِهَادِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: «كَلِمَةٌ حُكْمٍ عِنْدَ إِمَامٍ جَائِرٍ»
Sayyiduna Wathilah bin al-Asqa' (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at Masjid al-Khayf, and his Companions said to me: "O Wathilah, move back," meaning move away from in front of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Leave him, for he has only come to ask." So I drew near and said: "O Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be ransomed for you, tell us of something we may adopt after you." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Make your own self your helper." I said: "How am I to do that?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Leave what makes you doubt for what does not make you doubt, even if a mufti gives you a fatwa." I said: "How am I to know that?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Place your hand on your heart, for the heart is at rest with what is lawful and is not at rest with what is unlawful; and the scrupulousness (wara') of a Muslim is that he leaves even a small thing for fear of falling into a big one." I said: "May my father and mother be ransomed for you, what is tribalism ('asabiyyah)?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who helps his people in wrongdoing." I said: "Who is the greedy one?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who seeks earnings by unlawful means." I said: "Who is the scrupulous one?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who stops at what is doubtful." I said: "Who is the believer?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one whom people trust with their wealth and their lives." I said: "Who is the Muslim?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one from whose tongue and hand people are safe." I said: "Which jihad is best?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Speaking a word of justice before a tyrannical ruler."
