Musnad Abi Ya'la 3694 — Sahl bin Abi Umamah (may Allah have mercy on)
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عِيسَى الْمِصْرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَمْيَاءِ ، أَنَّ سَهْلَ بْنَ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ هُوَ وَأَبُوهُ عَلَى أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ زَمَنَ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ وَهُوَ أَمِيرٌ ، فَصَلَّى صَلَاةً خَفِيفَةً كَأَنَّهَا صَلَاةُ مُسَافِرٍ أَوْ قَرِيبٌ مِنْهَا ، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ ، أَرَأَيْتَ ، هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةُ الْمَكْتُوبَةُ أَمْ شَيْءٌ تَنَفَّلْتَهُ ؟ قَالَ : إِنَّهَا الْمَكْتُوبَةُ ، وَإِنَّهَا صَلَاةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، مَا أَخْطَأْتُ إِلَّا شَيْئًا سَهَوْتُ عَنْهُ .
إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقُولُ : لَا تُشَدِّدُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ فَيُشَدِّدَ اللهُ عَلَيْكُمْ ، فَإِنَّ قَوْمًا شَدَّدُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَشُدِّدَ عَلَيْهِمْ ، فَتِلْكَ بَقَايَاهُمْ فِي الصَّوَامِعِ وَالدِّيَارَاتِ : وَرَهْبَانِيَّةً ابْتَدَعُوهَا مَا كَتَبْنَاهَا عَلَيْهِمْ .
ثُمَّ غَدَوْا مِنَ الْغَدِ ، فَقَالُوا : نَرْكَبُ فَنَنْظُرُ وَنَعْتَبِرُ ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، فَرَكِبُوا جَمِيعًا ، فَإِذَا هُمْ بِدِيَارٍ قَفْرٍ ، قَدْ بَادَ أَهْلُهَا وَانْقَرَضُوا وَنُفُوا ، خَاوِيَةٍ عَلَى عُرُوشِهَا ، فَقَالُوا : أَتَعْرِفُ هَذِهِ الدِّيَارَ ؟ قَالَ : مَا أَعْرَفَنِي بِهَا وَبِأَهْلِهَا ، هَؤُلَاءِ أَهْلُ دِيَارٍ أَهْلَكَهُمُ الْبَغْيُ وَالْحَسَدُ ، إِنَّ الْحَسَدَ يُطْفِئُ نُورَ الْحَسَنَاتِ ، وَالْبَغْيُ يُصَدِّقُ ذَلِكَ أَوْ يُكَذِّبُهُ ، وَالْعَيْنُ تَزْنِي ، وَالْكَفُّ وَالْقَدَمُ وَالْيَدُ وَاللِّسَانُ ، وَالْفَرْجُ يُصَدِّقُ ذَلِكَ أَوْ يُكَذِّبُهُ .
إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقُولُ : لَا تُشَدِّدُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ فَيُشَدِّدَ اللهُ عَلَيْكُمْ ، فَإِنَّ قَوْمًا شَدَّدُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَشُدِّدَ عَلَيْهِمْ ، فَتِلْكَ بَقَايَاهُمْ فِي الصَّوَامِعِ وَالدِّيَارَاتِ : وَرَهْبَانِيَّةً ابْتَدَعُوهَا مَا كَتَبْنَاهَا عَلَيْهِمْ .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sahl bin Abi Umamah (may Allah have mercy on him) and his father visited Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) in Madinah at the time when Umar bin Abd al-Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him) was its governor. There Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) led them in a short prayer, as if it were the prayer of a traveller or close to it. When he had given the salam, (Sahl's father) said: "May Allah have mercy on you, tell me: was this the obligatory prayer, or were you praying a voluntary prayer?" He replied: "This was the obligatory prayer, and this was the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). I did not fall short in it except for something I forgot. Indeed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say: 'Do not be harsh on yourselves (in worship), or Allah will be harsh on you. For a people were harsh on themselves, so Allah was harsh on them, and the remnants of their excess are there in the hermitages and monasteries: Monasticism (renunciation of the world) they invented themselves; We did not prescribe it for them.'" Then they set out the next morning and said: "Let us ride out so that we may look and take a lesson." He said: "Very well." So they all rode out, and they came upon some desolate settlements whose inhabitants had perished, been destroyed and vanished, and the settlements had collapsed upon their roofs. They asked: "Do you know these settlements?" Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I know these settlements and their inhabitants well. These are the homes of people whom transgression and envy destroyed. Indeed envy extinguishes the light of good deeds, and transgression confirms it or denies it. The eye commits zina (adultery), and likewise the palm, the foot, the hand and the tongue (commit their share of zina), and the private part confirms it or denies it."
