Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 7837 — We went out with the Prophet ﷺ on one

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، ثنا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ، ثنا مُعَانُ بْنُ رِفَاعَةَ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ: خَرَجْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ مِنْ سَرَايَاهُ، فَمَرَّ رَجُلٌ بِغَارٍ فِيهِ شَيْءٌ مِنْ مَاءٍ، فَجَذَبَتْهُ نَفْسُهُ أَنْ يُقِيمَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْغَارِ، فَيَقُوتَ مَا فِيهِ مِنْ مَاءٍ، وَيُصِيبُ مِمَّا حَوْلَهُ مِنَ الْبَقْلِ، وَيَتَخَلَّى مِنَ الدُّنْيَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: لَوْ أَنِّي أَتَيْتُ نَبِيَّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَإِنْ أَذِنَ لِي فَعَلْتُ، وَإِلَّا لَمْ أَفْعَلْ. فَأَتَاهُ، فَقَالَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، إِنِّي مَرَرْتُ بِغَارٍ فِيهِ مَا يَقُوتُنِي مِنَ الْمَاءِ وَالْبَقْلِ، فَحَدَّثَتْنِي نَفْسِي بِأَنْ أُقِيمَ، وَأَتَخَلَّى مِنَ الدُّنْيَا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنِّي لَمْ أُبْعَثْ بِالْيَهُودِيَّةِ وَلَا النَّصْرَانِيَّةِ، وَلَكِنِّي بُعِثْتُ بِالْحَنِيفِيَّةِ السَّمْحَةِ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَغَدَاةٌ أَوْ رَوْحَةٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا، وَلَمَقَامُ أَحَدِكُمْ فِي الصَّفِّ خَيْرٌ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً»
Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We went out with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on one of his expeditions (peace and blessings be upon him), and a man passed by a cave in which there was some water. His heart desired to stay in that cave, live on the water in it, eat some of the herbs around it, and withdraw from the world. Then he said: What if I go to the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and mention this to him? If he (peace and blessings be upon him) permits me, I will do it; otherwise I will not. So he came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Prophet of Allah, I passed by a cave in which I found enough water and herbs to sustain me, and my heart told me to stay there and withdraw from the world. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I was not sent with Judaism or Christianity; rather, I was sent with the easy and upright Hanifiyyah. By the One in whose hand is my soul, a journey in the morning or the evening in the path of Allah is better than the world and everything in it, and for one of you to stand in the ranks (of battle) is better than his prayer of sixty years."
