مِنْ مُسْنَدِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ
From the Musnad of Abd al-Rahman bin Awf
Musnad Abi Ya'la 869 — I entered the mosque and saw the Messenger
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْهَمَّادِ ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حُوَيْرِثٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - خَارِجًا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَاتَّبَعْتُهُ أَمْشِي وَرَاءَهُ وَلَا يَشْعُرُ بِي ، حَتَّى دَخَلَ نَخْلًا فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ فَسَجَدَ فَأَطَالَ السُّجُودَ وَأَنَا وَرَاءَهُ ، حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ اللهَ قَدْ تَوَفَّاهُ ، فَأَقْبَلْتُ أَمْشِي حَتَّى جِئْتُهُ ، فَطَأْطَأْتُ رَأْسِي أَنْظُرُ فِي وَجْهِهِ ، فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ ، فَقَالَ : « مَا لَكَ يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ ؟ » فَقُلْتُ : لَمَّا أَطَلْتَ السُّجُودَ حَسِبْتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ اللهُ تَوَفَّى نَفْسَكَ ، فَجِئْتُ أَنْظُرُ ، فَقَالَ : « إِنِّي لَمَّا رَأَيْتَنِي دَخَلْتُ النَّخْلَ لَقِيتُ جِبْرِيلَ ، فَقَالَ : إِنِّي أُبَشِّرُكَ ، أَنَّ اللهَ يَقُولُ : مَنْ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكَ سَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ ، وَمَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيْكَ صَلَّيْتُ عَلَيْهِ » .
Sayyiduna Abdul Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: "I entered the mosque and saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) going out of the mosque. I followed him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not notice me, until he (peace and blessings be upon him) entered a date-palm garden, faced the qiblah and prostrated, and made the prostration very long. I was behind him (peace and blessings be upon him), until I thought that Allah had taken his (peace and blessings be upon him) soul. I walked up to him (peace and blessings be upon him), lowered my head and began looking at his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed face. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head and said: 'O Abdul Rahman bin Awf! What is the matter with you?' I said: 'When you made the prostration long, I thought that Allah might have taken your soul, so I came to look.' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'When you saw me enter the garden, I met Jibril, and he said: I give you glad tidings that Allah Almighty says: Whoever sends salam upon you, I will send peace upon him, and whoever sends salutation (durud) upon you, I will send mercy upon him.'"
