Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 7266 — Aslam (may Allah have mercy on him)

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنِي مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ سَلْمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: خَرَجْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى دَخَلْتُ عَلَى صُهَيْبٍ حَائِطًا بِالْعَالِيَةِ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ صُهَيْبٌ قَالَ: يَا نَاسُ يَا نَاسُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: مَا لَهُ لَا أَبَا لَهُ يَدْعُو عَلَيَّ النَّاسَ، قَالَ: وَإِنَّمَا يَدْعُو غُلَامًا لَهُ يُقَالُ لَهُ يَحْنَسُ قَالَ: يَا صُهَيْبُ، مَا فِيكَ شَيْءٌ أَعِيبُهُ إِلَّا ثَلَاثَ خِصَالٍ لَوْلَاهُنَّ مَا قَدَّمْتُ عَلَيْكَ أَحَدًا، قَالَ: مَا هُنَّ فَإِنَّكَ طَعَّانٌ. قَالَ: فَهَلْ هُوَ مُخْبِرِي عَنْهُنَّ؟ قَالَ: مَا أَنْتَ سَائِلِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا أَخْبَرْتُكَ بِهِ، قَالَ: وَمَا أَنْتَ بِمُخْبِرِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا صَدَّقْتُكَ، قَالَ: أَرَاكَ تُبَذِّرُ مَالَكَ، وتَكْتَنِي بِاسْمِ نَبِيٍّ بِأَبِي يَحْيَى، وَتُنْسَبُ عَرَبِيًّا، وَلِسَانُكَ أَعْجَمِيٌّ قَالَ: أَمَّا تَبْذِيرِي مَالِي، فَمَا أُنْفِقُهُ إِلَّا فِي حَقِّهِ، وَأَمَّا اكْتِنَائِي، «فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ كَنَّانِي بِأَبِي يَحْيَى» ، أَوَ أَتْرُكُهَا لِقَوْلِكَ، وَأَمَّا انْتِسَابِي فِي الْعَرَبِ، فَإِنَّ الرُّومَ سَبَتْنِي وَأَنَا صَغِيرٌ، فَإِنِّي لَا أَذْكُرُ أَهْلَ بَيْتِي، وَلَوْ أَنِّي انْفَلَقْتُ عَنْ رَوْثَةٍ انْتَسَبْتُ إِلَيْهَا
Aslam (may Allah have mercy on him), the freed slave of Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), said: I went out with Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) until we came upon Sayyiduna Suhayb (may Allah be pleased with him) in a garden in al-Aliyah. When Suhayb (may Allah be pleased with him) saw him, he said: O people, O people! Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: What is the matter with him, may he have no father, calling the people against me? The narrator said: He was only calling a slave of his who was called Yuhannas. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Suhayb, there is nothing in you that I find fault with except three traits; were it not for them, I would not give precedence to anyone over you. Suhayb (may Allah be pleased with him) said: What are they? For you are much given to finding fault. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Will he then tell me about them? Suhayb (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Whatever you ask me about, I will tell you. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: And whatever you tell me, I will believe you. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I see that you squander your wealth, that you take as your kunyah Abu Yahya, after the name of a prophet, and that you trace your lineage to the Arabs while your tongue is non-Arab. He said: As for my squandering my wealth, I spend it only where it is due. As for my kunyah, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me the kunyah Abu Yahya; shall I abandon it because of what you say? And as for my lineage among the Arabs, the Romans took me captive when I was small, so I do not remember my family; and had I sprung from a heap of dung, I would have traced my lineage to it.
