Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 4587 — Sayyiduna Rabi'ah bin Ruwa' al-Ansi came

حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ مَرْثَدٍ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عِيسَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَبِيعَةَ بْنَ رُوَاءَ الْعَنْسِيَّ، قَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَوَجَدَهُ يَتَعَشَّى، فَدَعَاهُ إِلَى الْعِشَاءِ فَأَكَلَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَتَشْهَدُ أَنَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ؟» قَالَ رَبِيعَةُ: أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، قَالَ: «رَاغِبًا أَمْ رَاهِبًا؟» قَالَ رَبِيعَةُ: أَمَّا الرَّغْبَةُ فَوَاللهِ مَا هِي فِي يَدَكَ، وَأَمَّا الرَّهْبَةُ فَوَاللهِ أَنَا بِبِلَادٍ مَا يَبْلُغُنَا جُيُوشُكَ وَلَا خُيُولُكَ، وَلَكِنِّي خُوِّفْتُ فَخِفْتُ، وَقِيلَ لِي آمِنْ فَآمَنْتُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «رَبِّ خَطِيبٍ مِنْ عَنْسٍ» فَأَقَامَ يَخْتَلِفُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ فَوَدَّعَهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنْ أَحْسَسْتَ حَسًّا فَوَائِلْ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْقَرْيَةِ» فَخَرَجَ فَأَحَسَّ حَسًّا فَوَاءَلَ إِلَى قَرْيَةٍ، فَمَاتَ بِهَا
Sayyiduna Rabi'ah bin Ruwa' al-Ansi (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and found him (peace and blessings be upon him) eating his evening meal. He (peace and blessings be upon him) invited him to the evening meal, and he ate. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Do you bear witness that there is no true god except Allah and that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is His servant and Messenger?" Rabi'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I bear witness that there is no true god except Allah and that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is His servant and Messenger. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Out of desire or out of fear?" Rabi'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: As for desire, by Allah, it is not in your hand; and as for fear, by Allah, I live in a land which your armies and your horses cannot reach. But I was made to fear, so I feared, and I was told to believe, so I believed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What an excellent orator from (the tribe of) Ans!" So he kept coming and going to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then one time he came and bade him (peace and blessings be upon him) farewell. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "If you sense any danger, take refuge with the people of the village." So he set out, sensed some danger, went to take refuge in a village, and died there.
