Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 6446 — I was asleep on one of the mountains

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بَكَّارِ بْنِ بِلَالٍ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، ثنا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ يَعْلَى بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، ثنا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ عَبَّادُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ يَقُولُ: أَخْبَرَنِي سَوَادُ بْنُ قَارِبٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ، قَالَ: " كُنْتُ نَائِمًا عَلَى جَبَلٍ مِنْ جِبَالِ السَّرَاةِ، فَأَتَى آتٍ , فَضَرَبَنِي بِرِجْلِهِ، وَقَالَ: قُمْ يَا سَوَادُ بْنَ قَارِبٍ، أَتَاكَ رَسُولٌ مِنْ لُؤَيِّ بْنِ غَالِبٍ، فَاسْتَوَيْتُ قَاعِدًا، وَأَدْبَرَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ:
[البحر السريع]
عَجِبْتُ لِلْجِنِّ وَتَجْسَاسِهَا ... وَشَدِّهَا الْعِيسَ بِأَحْلَاسِهَا
تَهْوِي إِلَى مَكَّةَ تَبْغِي الْهُدَى ... مَا صَالِحُوهَا مِثْلَ أَرْجَاسِهَا
، قَالَ: " ثُمَّ عُدْتُ، فَنِمْتُ، فَأَتَانِي فَضَرَبَنِي بِرِجْلِهِ، وَقَالَ: قُمْ يَا سَوَادُ بْنَ قَارِبٍ، أَتَاكَ رَسُولٌ مِنْ لُؤَيِّ بْنِ غَالِبٍ، وَأَدْبَرَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ:
عَجِبْتُ لِلْجِنِّ وَأَخْبَارِهَا ... ورَحْلِهَا الْعِيسَ بِأَكْوَارِهَا
تَهْوِي إِلَى مَكَّةَ تَبْغِي الْهُدَى ... مَا مُؤْمِنُوهَا مِثْلَ كُفَّارِهَا
قَالَ: " ثُمَّ عُدْتُ فَنِمْتُ، فَأَتَانِي فَضَرَبَنِي بِرِجْلِهِ، وَقَالَ: قُمْ يَا سَوَادُ بْنَ قَارِبٍ، أَتَاكَ رَسُولٌ مِنْ لُؤَيِّ بْنِ غَالِبٍ، فَاسْتَوَيْتُ قَاعِدًا، وَأَدْبَرَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ:
عَجِبْتُ لِلْجِنِّ وَتِطْلَابِهَا ... وَشَدِّهَا الْعِيسَ بِأَذْنَابِهَا
تَهْوِي إِلَى مَكَّةَ تَبْغِي الْهُدَى ... مَا صَادِقُوهَا مِثْلَ كُذَّابِهَا
فَارْحَلْ إِلَى الصَّفْوَةِ مِنْ هَاشِمٍ ... وَاسْمُ بِعَيْنَيْكَ إِلَى رَأْسِهَا
قَالَ: «فَأَصْبَحَتُ، فَاقْتَعَدْتُ بَعِيرًا لِي حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ مَكَّةَ، فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ ظَهَرَ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ الْخَبَرَ، وَاتَّبَعْتُهُ»
Sayyiduna Sawad bin Qarib al-Azdi (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was asleep on one of the mountains of al-Sarah when someone came, struck me with his foot and said: O Sawad bin Qarib, get up; a Messenger has come to you from Lu'ayy bin Ghalib. I sat upright, and he turned away, saying (in the sari' metre): "I marvel at the jinn and their seeking out news, and at their saddling of their camels with their camel-saddles. They rush towards Makkah seeking guidance; their righteous are not like their filthy ones." Then I went back to sleep, and he came again, struck me with his foot and said: O Sawad bin Qarib, get up; a Messenger has come to you from Lu'ayy bin Ghalib. And he turned away, saying: "I marvel at the jinn and their news, and at their loading of their camels with their saddles. They rush towards Makkah seeking guidance; their believers are not like their disbelievers." Then I went back to sleep, and he came again, struck me with his foot and said: O Sawad bin Qarib, get up; a Messenger has come to you from Lu'ayy bin Ghalib. I sat upright, and he turned away, saying: "I marvel at the jinn and their seeking, and at their tying of the camels by their tails. They rush towards Makkah seeking guidance; their truthful one is not like their liar. So journey to the chosen one of Hashim, and raise your eyes towards its head." Then morning came, and I rode my camel until I reached Makkah, and there the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had already appeared (with Islam). I told him (peace and blessings be upon him) the news and became his follower.
