حَدَّثَنَا الصَّلْتُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو ظِلَالٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَنَسٌ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : سَلَكَ رَجُلَانِ مَفَازَةً : أَحَدُهُمَا عَابِدٌ ، وَالْآخَرُ بِهِ رَهَقٌ ، فَعَطِشَ الْعَابِدُ حَتَّى سَقَطَ ، فَجَعَلَ صَاحِبُهُ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ وَمَعَهُ مِيضَأَةٌ فِيهَا شَيْءٌ مِنْ مَاءٍ ، فَجَعَلَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ صَرِيعٌ ، فَقَالَ : وَاللهِ لَئِنْ مَاتَ هَذَا الْعَبْدُ الصَّالِحُ عَطَشًا وَمَعِي مَاءٌ ، لَا أُصِيبُ مِنَ اللهِ خَيْرًا أَبَدًا ، وَإِنْ سَقَيْتُهُ مَائِي لَأَمُوتَنَّ ، فَتَوَكَّلَ عَلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، وَعَزَمَ وَرَشَّ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ مَائِهِ وَسَقَاهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ ، قَالَ : فَقَامَ حَتَّى قَطَعَا الْمَفَازَةَ ، قَالَ : فَيُوقَفُ الَّذِي بِهِ رَهَقٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لِلْحِسَابِ ، فَيُؤْمَرُ بِهِ إِلَى النَّارِ ، فَتَسُوقُهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ ، فَيَرَى الْعَابِدَ ، فَيَقُولُ : يَا فُلَانُ ، أَمَا تَعْرِفُنِي ؟ قَالَ : يَقُولُ : مَنْ أَنْتَ ؟ قَالَ : أَنَا فُلَانٌ الَّذِي آثَرْتُكَ عَلَى نَفْسِي يَوْمَ الْمَفَازَةِ ، قَالَ : يَقُولُ : بَلَى ، أَعْرِفُكَ ، قَالَ : فَيَقُولُ لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ : قِفُوا ، قَالَ : فَيُوقَفُ ، وَيَجِيءُ حَتَّى يَقِفَ وَيَدْعُوَ رَبَّهُ ، يَقُولُ : يَا رَبِّ ، قَدْ تَعْرِفُ يَدَهُ عِنْدِي ، وَكَيْفَ آثَرَنِي عَلَى نَفْسِهِ ، يَا رَبِّ هَبْهُ لِي ، فَيَقُولُ : هُوَ لَكَ ، قَالَ : وَيَجِيءُ فَيَأْخُذُ بِيَدِهِ فَيُدْخِلُهُ الْجَنَّةَ .
قَالَ الصَّلْتُ : قَالَ جَعْفَرٌ : قُلْتُ : حَدَّثَكَ أَنَسٌ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ .
قَالَ الصَّلْتُ : قَالَ جَعْفَرٌ : قُلْتُ : حَدَّثَكَ أَنَسٌ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Two men passed through a desert; one of them was a worshipper, and the other was given to committing sins. The worshipper became so thirsty that he collapsed. His companion was looking at him, and he had some water in a vessel. Seeing him lying helpless, he said: 'By Allah, if this righteous servant dies of thirst while I have water, I will never receive any good from Allah; and if I give him my water to drink, I myself will die.' Then he put his trust in Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, made a firm resolve, sprinkled some of his water on him and gave him the rest to drink. He got up, and the two of them crossed the desert. On the Day of Resurrection that sinful man will be made to stand for reckoning and will be ordered to be taken to Hell. While the angels are leading him away, he will see the worshipper and say: 'O so-and-so, do you recognise me?' He will ask: 'Who are you?' He will say: 'I am the one who preferred you over myself on the day in the desert.' He will say: 'Yes, I recognise you.' Then he will say to the angels: 'Stop.' So he will be held back. The worshipper will stand before his Lord and plead: 'O my Lord, You know his kindness to me and how he preferred me over himself; O my Lord, grant him to me.' Allah Almighty will say: 'He is yours.' Then he will take him by the hand and admit him into Paradise." Al-Salt said: Ja'far related: I asked Abu Zilal: Did Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrate this hadith to you from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? He said: Yes.
