Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37330 — The words of Abu al-Darda
٣٧٣٣٠ - حدثنا علي بن إسحاق عن (ابن) (١) مبارك عن عبد الرحمن بن يزيد (ابن) (٢) جابر قال: أخبرني إسماعيل بن عبيد اللَّه قال: حدثتني أم الدرداء أنه أغمي على أبي الدرداء فأفاق، فإذا بلال ابنه عنده، فقال: قم فأخرج عني، ثم قال: من يعمل (لمثل) (٣) مضجعي هذا؟ (من يعمل لمثل مضجعي هذا؟) (٤) من يعمل لمثل ساعتي هذه؟ ﴿وَنُقَلِّبُ أَفْئِدَتَهُمْ وَأَبْصَارَهُمْ كَمَا لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهِ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَنَذَرُهُمْ فِي طُغْيَانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ﴾ [الأنعام: ١١٠]، قالت: ثم يغمى عليه (فيلبث) (٥) لبثا ثم يفيق فيقول مثل ذلك، فلم يزل يرددها حتى قبض (٦).
Sayyidah Umm al-Darda (may Allah be pleased with her) relates: On one occasion Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) fainted. Then he regained consciousness, and his son Bilal was with him. Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Get up and go out from me." Then he said: "Who will work for a resting place like this one of mine? Who will work for an hour like this one of mine? 'And We will turn their hearts and their eyes, just as they did not believe in it the first time, and We will leave them wandering blindly in their transgression.' [Al-An'am: 110]" Sayyidah Umm al-Darda (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Then he lost consciousness again. He would remain so for a while, then he would recover and repeat the same words. He went on repeating these words until his soul was taken.
