حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ الْقَطَوَانِيُّ، ثنا عِصَامُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الطَّائِيُّ، ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ حَيَّانَ الطَّائِيُّ، قَالَ: «كَانَ رَافِعُ بْنُ عُمَيرَةَ السَّنْبَسِيُّ يُغَدِّي أَهْلَ ثَلَاثَةِ مَسَاجِدَ، وَيَسْقِيهِمُ الْقرطمةَ - يَعْنِي الْحَيْسَ - وَمَا لَهُ إِلَّا قَمِيصٌ، وَهُوَ لِلْبَيْتِ، وَهُوَ لِلْجُمُعَةِ»
Amr bin Hayyan al-Ta'i (may Allah have mercy on him) relates: Sayyiduna Rafi' bin Umayrah al-Sinbisi (may Allah be pleased with him) used to give the morning meal to the people of three mosques and give them 'qurtumah' - meaning hays (a dish made by mixing dates, ghee and dried curd) - to drink, although he had only one shirt, which served him both at home and for the Friday prayer.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْفِرْيَابِيُّ، ثنا إِسْرَائِيلُ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ كَرَامَةَ، ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، ثنا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْمُهَاجِرِ، عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الطَّائِيِّ قَالَ: بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِّ عَلَى جَيْشِ ذَاتِ السَّلَاسِلِ، وَبَعَثَ مَعَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْجَيْشَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا وسَرَاةَ أَصْحَابِهِ، فَانْطَلَقُوا حَتَّى نَزَلُوا جَبَلَ طَيِّئٍ، فَقَالَ عَمْرٌو: انْظُرُوا إِلَى رَجُلٍ دَلِيلٍ بِالطَّرِيقِ، فَقَالُوا: مَا نَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا رَافِعَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو، فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ رَبَيلًا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ - فَسَأَلْتُ طَارِقًا: مَا الرَّبِيلُ؟ قَالَ: اللِّصُّ الَّذِي يَغْزُو الْقَوْمَ وَحْدَهُ فَيَسْرِقُ - قَالَ رَافِعُ: فَلَمَّا قَضَيْنَا غَزَاتِنَا وَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي كُنَّا خَرَجْنَا مِنْهُ، تَوَسَّمْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ، رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ: يَا صَاحِبَ الْخَلَّالِ إِنِّي تَوَسَّمْتُكَ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَصْحَابِكَ، فَائْتِنِي بِشَيْءٍ إِذَا حَفِظْتُهُ كُنْتُ مِثْلَكُمُ فَقَالَ: «أَتَحْفَظُ أَصَابِعَكَ الْخَمْسَ؟» قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «تَشْهَدُ أَنَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ، وَتُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ إِنْ كَانَ لَكَ، وَتَحُجُّ الْبَيْتَ، وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ، حَفِظْتُ؟» قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «وَأُخْرَى لَا تَؤَمَرَنَّ عَلَى اثْنَيْنِ» قُلْتُ: هَلْ تَكُونُ الْإِمْرَةُ إِلَّا فِيكُمْ أَهْلَ بَدْرٍ؟ قَالَ: «يُوشِكَ أَنْ تَفْشُوَ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَكَ وَمَنْ هُوَ دُونَكَ، إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَمَّا بَعَثَ نَبِيَّهُ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ النَّاسُ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ، فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ دَخَلَ فَهَدَاهُ اللهُ، وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ أَكْرَهَهُ السَّيْفُ، فَهُوَ عَوَّادُ اللهِ وَجِيرَانُ اللهِ فِي خِفَارَةِ اللهِ، إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا كَانَ أَمِيرًا، فَتَظَالَمَ النَّاسُ بَيْنَهُمْ، فَلَمْ يَأْخُذْ لِبَعْضِهِمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ، انْتَقَمَ اللهُ مِنْهُ، إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَتُؤْخَذُ شَاةُ جَارِهِ فَيَظَلُّ نَاتِئَ عَضَلَتِهِ غَضَبًا لِجَارِهِ، وَاللهُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ جَارِهِ» قَالَ رَافِعٌ: فَمَكَثْتُ سَنَةً، ثُمَّ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ اسْتُخْلِفَ، فَرَكِبْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ: أَنَا رَافِعُ، كُنْتُ لَقِيتُكَ يَوْمَ كَذَا وَكَذَا مَكَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، قَالَ: «عَرَفْتُ» ، قُلْتُ: كُنْتَ نَهَيْتَنِي عَنِ الْإِمارةِ، ثُمَّ رَكِبْتَ بِأَعْظَمَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «نَعَمْ، فَمَنْ لَمْ يَقُمْ فِيهِمْ بِكِتَابِ اللهِ فَعَلَيْهِ بَهْلَةُ اللهِ» يَعْنِي لَعْنَةَ اللهِ
Sayyiduna Rafi' bin Amr al-Ta'i (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) as commander over the army of Dhat al-Salasil, and in that army he also sent with him Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) and the senior ones among his Companions. They set off until they halted at the mountain of Tayyi'. Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Look for a man who can guide us along the way. They said: We know of no one but Rafi' bin Amr, for he used to be a 'rabil' in the time of ignorance (Jahiliyyah) - the narrator said: I asked Tariq: What is a rabil? He said: A robber who raids a people alone and steals - Sayyiduna Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When we had completed our expedition and I reached the place from which we had set out, I singled out Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), so I came to him and said: O you with the khilal (the wooden pin fastening the cloak)! I have singled you out from among your companions, so give me something which, if I preserve it, I will be like you. He said: "Can you remember your five fingers?" I said: Yes. He said: "Bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is His servant and Messenger, establish the five prayers, give the zakah if you have (wealth), perform Hajj to the House, and fast Ramadan - have you memorised it?" I said: Yes. He said: "And one more thing: never become a commander even over two people." I said: Will leadership be found in anyone other than you, the people of Badr? He said: "Soon it will spread until it reaches you and those below you. When Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, sent His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), people entered Islam: among them were those who entered and Allah guided them, and among them were those whom the sword compelled. They are those under Allah's protection and Allah's neighbours, in Allah's safekeeping. When a man is a commander and the people wrong one another, and he does not take the right of some of them from others, Allah takes revenge on him. A man's neighbour's goat is taken, and he remains with his muscles swollen in anger for the sake of his neighbour - while Allah stands guard behind His neighbour." Sayyiduna Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I stayed for a year, then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was appointed caliph, so I rode to him and said: I am Rafi'; I met you on such-and-such a day at such-and-such a place. He said: "I remember." I said: You had forbidden me from leadership, then you yourself mounted something greater than that - (the leadership of) the Ummah of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: "Yes, and whoever does not establish the Book of Allah among them, upon him is the bahlah of Allah" - meaning the curse of Allah.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ الْأَوْدِيُّ، ثنا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْمُهَاجِرِ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبَى حَازِمٍ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الطَّائِيِّ قَالَ: «مَرُّوا بِي أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزْوَةٍ أَوْ حَجٍّ فَتَأَمَّلْتُهُمْ فَلَمْ أَرَ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا أَحْسَنَ هَيْأَةً مِنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، وَقَدْ جَلَّلَ عَلَيْهِ كِسَاءٌ مِنَ الْحَرِّ وَالْبَرَدِ» وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ
Sayyiduna Rafi' bin Amr al-Ta'i (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by me during an expedition or a Hajj journey, and I observed them closely, and I did not see anyone among them in a better state than Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), who had a cloak wrapped around him for protection against heat and cold - and then he narrated the full hadith.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ الطَّائِيِّ، قَالَ: «لَمَّا كَانَتْ غَزْوَةُ ذَاتِ السَّلَاسِلِ اسْتَعْمَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِّ عَلَى جَيْشٍ فِيهِمْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ»
Sayyiduna Rafi' bin Abi Rafi' al-Ta'i (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When the expedition of Dhat al-Salasil took place, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) as commander of an army in which Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was also included.
