مُسْنَدُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ
Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5292 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ lay down to rest
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: نَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى حَصِيرٍ قَدْ أَثَّرَ فِي جَنْبِهِ، فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَلَا آذَنْتَنَا فَبَسَطْنَا تَحْتَكَ أَلْيَنَ مِنْهُ؟ فَقَالَ: «مَا لِي وَلِلدُّنْيَا؟ إِنَّمَا مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُ الدُّنْيَا كَرَاكِبٍ سَارَ فِي يَوْمٍ صَائِفٍ، فَقَالَ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ، ثُمَّ رَاحَ وَتَرْكَهَا»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) lay down to rest on a mat whose marks became visible on his blessed side. So we said: "O Messenger of Allah, if only you had informed us, we would have spread under you a bedding much softer than this." At this he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What have I to do with the world? The likeness of me and this world is only that of a rider who set out on a journey on a summer day, then rested for a while in the shade of a tree, then left it and went on towards his destination."
