Hadith of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari
Musnad Abi Ya'la 7297 — my companions sent me to the Messenger
وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ : أَرْسَلَنِي أَصْحَابِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَسْأَلُهُ الْحُمْلَانَ لَهُمْ إِذْ هُمْ فِي جَيْشِ الْعُسْرَةِ ، وَهِيَ غَزْوَةُ تَبُوكَ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ ، إِنَّ أَصْحَابِي أَرْسَلُونِي إِلَيْكَ لِتَحْمِلَهُمْ قَالَ : لَا ، وَاللهِ لَا أَحْمِلُهُمْ عَلَى شَيْءٍ ، وَوَافَقْتُهُ وَهُوَ غَضْبَانُ وَلَا أَشْعُرُ ، فَرَجَعْتُ حَزِينًا مِنْ مَنْعِ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَمِنْ مَخَافَةِ أَنْ يَكُونَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَدْ وَجَدَ فِي نَفْسِهِ عَلَيَّ ، فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى أَصْحَابِي ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُمُ الَّذِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَلَمْ أَلْبَثْ إِلَّا سُوَيْعَةً إِذْ سَمِعْتُ بِلَالًا يُنَادِي : أَيْنَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ قَيْسٍ ؟ فَأَجَبْتُهُ ، فَقَالَ : أَجِبْ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَدْعُوكَ ، فَلَمَّا أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « خُذْ هَذَيْنِ الْقَرِينَيْنِ ، وَهَذَيْنِ الْقَرِينَيْنِ ، وَهَذَيْنِ الْقَرِينَيْنِ - لِسِتَّةِ أَبْعِرَةٍ ابْتَاعَهُنَّ حِينَئِذٍ مِنْ سَعْدٍ - فَانْطَلِقْ بِهِنَّ إِلَى أَصْحَابِكَ ، فَقُلْ : إِنَّ اللهَ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - أَوْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَحْمِلُكُمْ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ ، فَارْكَبُوهُنَّ » .
قَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى : فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى أَصْحَابِي بِهِنَّ ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَحْمِلُ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ ، وَلَكِنْ وَاللهِ لَا أَدَعُكُمْ حَتَّى يَنْطَلِقَ مَعِي بَعْضُكُمْ إِلَى مَنْ سَمِعَ مَقَالَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حِينَ سَأَلْتُهُ لَكُمْ ، وَمَنَعَهُ فِي أَوَّلِ مَرَّةٍ ، ثُمَّ أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّايَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ، لَا تَظُنُّوا أَنِّي حَدَّثْتُكُمْ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَقُلْهُ ، فَقَالُوا : وَاللهِ إِنَّكَ عِنْدَنَا لَمُصَدَّقٌ ، وَلَنَفْعَلَنَّ مَا أَحْبَبْتَ ، فَانْطَلَقَ أَبُو مُوسَى بِنَفَرٍ مِنْهُمْ حَتَّى أَتَوُا الَّذِينَ سَمِعُوا قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَمَنْعَهُ إِيَّاهُمْ ، ثُمَّ أَعْطَاهُ بَعْدُ ، فَحَدَّثَهُمْ مِثْلَ مَا حَدَّثَهُمْ أَبُو مُوسَى سَوَاءً .
قَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى : فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى أَصْحَابِي بِهِنَّ ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَحْمِلُ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ ، وَلَكِنْ وَاللهِ لَا أَدَعُكُمْ حَتَّى يَنْطَلِقَ مَعِي بَعْضُكُمْ إِلَى مَنْ سَمِعَ مَقَالَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حِينَ سَأَلْتُهُ لَكُمْ ، وَمَنَعَهُ فِي أَوَّلِ مَرَّةٍ ، ثُمَّ أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّايَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ، لَا تَظُنُّوا أَنِّي حَدَّثْتُكُمْ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَقُلْهُ ، فَقَالُوا : وَاللهِ إِنَّكَ عِنْدَنَا لَمُصَدَّقٌ ، وَلَنَفْعَلَنَّ مَا أَحْبَبْتَ ، فَانْطَلَقَ أَبُو مُوسَى بِنَفَرٍ مِنْهُمْ حَتَّى أَتَوُا الَّذِينَ سَمِعُوا قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَمَنْعَهُ إِيَّاهُمْ ، ثُمَّ أَعْطَاهُ بَعْدُ ، فَحَدَّثَهُمْ مِثْلَ مَا حَدَّثَهُمْ أَبُو مُوسَى سَوَاءً .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that my companions sent me to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to ask him for mounts for them, at the time when they were in the army of hardship, that is, the expedition of Tabuk. I said: "O Prophet of Allah, my companions have sent me to you so that you may give them mounts." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By Allah, I cannot give them anything to ride." At that time he (peace and blessings be upon him) was angry, but I did not realise it. So I returned extremely sad, because of the refusal of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and out of fear that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) might have felt some displeasure towards me in his heart. I went to my companions and told them what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had said. Only a short while had passed when I heard Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) calling out: "Where is Abdullah bin Qays?" I answered him, and he said: "Respond to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); he is calling you." When I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Take these pairs (that is, six camels which he (peace and blessings be upon him) had bought at that time from Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him)) and go to your companions and say: Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, or the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), is giving you these to ride, so ride them." Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I took the camels to my companions and said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is giving you these to ride. But, by Allah, I will not let you go until some of you go with me to those who heard what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said when I asked him for you, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) refused the first time and then gave these camels to me afterwards, so that you do not think that I have told you something which he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not say." They said: "By Allah, you are truthful and trusted in our eyes, and we will do what you wish." So Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) went with a group of them to the people who had heard the words of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), his (peace and blessings be upon him) refusal at first and then his giving afterwards, and they told them exactly the same as Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) had told them.
