Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 5599 — Abu Kabshah al-Saluli came to Damascus

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الْبَاقِي الْمِصِّيصِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُصَفًّى، ثنا عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ، ثنا ابْنُ جَابِرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ: قَدِمَ أَبُو كَبْشَةَ السَّلُولِيُّ دِمَشْقَ، فَسَأَلَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَامِرٍ الْيَحْصَبِيُّ: مَا الَّذِي أَقْدَمَكَ، لَعَلَّكَ أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَسْأَلَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ؟ قَالَ: لَا وَاللهِ، لَا أَسْأَلُ أَحَدًا شَيْئًا بَعْدَ الَّذِي حَدَّثَنِي سَهْلُ ابْنُ الْحَنْظَلِيَّةِ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَتَاهُ عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ بَدْرٍ الْفَزَارِيُّ، وَالْأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ التَّمِيمِيُّ، فَسَأَلَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَدَعَا مُعَاوِيَةَ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ، فَأَمَرَهُ بِشَيْءٍ لَا أَدْرِي مَا هُوَ فَأَقْبَلَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بِصَحِيفَتَيْنِ يَحْمِلُهُمَا، فَأَلْقَى إِحْدَى الصَّحِيفَتَيْنِ إِلَى عُيَيْنَةَ، وَكَانَ أَحْلَمَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ، فَأَخَذَهَا فَرَبَطَهَا فِي عِمَامَتِهِ، وَأَلْقَى الْأُخْرَى إِلَى الْأَقْرَعِ بْنِ حَابِسٍ، قَالَ: مَا فِيهَا؟ قَالَ: فِيهَا الَّذِي أَمَرْتَ بِهِ، قَالَ: بِئْسَ وَافِدُ قَوْمٍ إِنْ أَنَا جِئْتُهُمْ بِصَحِيفَةٍ أَحْمِلُهَا لَا أَدْرِي مَا فِيهَا كَصَحِيفَةِ الْمُتَلَمِّسِ، قَالَ: وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُقْبِلٌ عَلَى رَجُلٍ يُحَدِّثُهُ، فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ مَقَالَتَهُ أَخَذَ الصَّحِيفَةَ فَفَضَّهَا، فَإِذَا بَعِيرٌ مُنَاخٌ، فَقَالَ: «أَيْنَ صَاحِبُ هَذَا الْبَعِيرِ؟» فَابْتُغِيَ فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اتَّقُوا اللهَ فِي هَذِهِ الْبَهَائِمِ، كُلُوهَا سِمَانًا، وَارْكَبُوهَا صِحَاحًا» ، ثُمَّ مَضَى، حَتَّى دَخَلَ مَنْزِلَهُ، وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فَطَفِقَ يَقُولُ كَالْمُتَسَخِّطِ: «مَنْ سَأَلَ النَّاسَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى، فَإِنَّمَا يَسْتَكْثِرُ مِنْ جَمْرِ جَهَنَّمَ» ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَمَا ظَهْرُ الْغِنَى؟ قَالَ: «أَنْ تَعْلَمَ أَنَّ عِنْدَ أَهْلِهِ مَا يُغَدِّيهِمْ أَوْ يُعَشِّيهِمْ»
Rabi'ah bin Yazid says: Abu Kabshah al-Saluli came to Damascus, and Abdullah bin Amir al-Yahsubi asked him: What has brought you here? Perhaps you want to ask something of the Commander of the Believers, Abd al-Malik bin Marwan? He said: No, by Allah! I will not ask anyone for anything after what Sayyiduna Sahl Ibn al-Hanzaliyyah (may Allah be pleased with him) told me. He said: I was with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when Uyaynah bin Badr al-Fazari and al-Aqra' bin Habis al-Tamimi came, and they asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for something. He (peace and blessings be upon him) called Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) and ordered him to do something; I do not know what it was. Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) came carrying two letters. He tossed one letter to Uyaynah, who was the more sensible and forbearing of the two men, and he took the letter and tied it in his turban. He tossed the other letter to al-Aqra' bin Habis, who asked: What is in it? Mu'awiyah said: In it is what he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered. He said: What a wretched delegate of my people I would be if I went to them carrying a letter without knowing what is in it, like the letter of al-Mutalammis! The narrator says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was busy talking to a man. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) heard his words, he took the letter and opened it, and saw a camel kneeling. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Where is the owner of this camel?" He was searched for but not found. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Fear Allah regarding these animals; eat them while they are well-fed, and ride them while they are healthy." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) went on until he entered his house, and I was with him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) began saying, as though displeased: "Whoever asks people while he is well-off is only accumulating more of the embers of Hell." I said: O Messenger of Allah! What is meant by being well-off? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That you know your family have enough food to give them their morning meal or their evening meal."
