حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا دَرَّاجٌ أَبُو السَّمْحِ ، أَنَّ أَبَا الْهَيْثَمِ حَدَّثَهُ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، طُوبَى لِمَنْ رَآكَ وَآمَنَ بِكَ ، قَالَ : « طُوبَى لِمَنْ رَآنِي وَآمَنَ بِي ، ثُمَّ طُوبَى ، ثُمَّ طُوبَى ، ثُمَّ طُوبَى لِمَنْ آمَنَ بِي وَلَمْ يَرَنِي » فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ : وَمَا طُوبَى ؟ قَالَ : « شَجَرَةٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مَسِيرَةُ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ ، ثِيَابُ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ تَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَكْمَامِهَا » .

Tuba (glad tidings) be for the one who saw you and believed in you!" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Tuba is for the one who saw me and believed in me; then Tuba, then Tuba, then Tuba is for the one who believed in me though he did not see me." Then the man asked: "What is Tuba?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is a tree in Paradise whose extent is a journey of one hundred years; the garments of the people of Paradise come out of its blossoms (the sheaths of its flowers)."
وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ رَجُلٌ: مَا {كَالْمُهْلِ} [الكهف: 29]؟ قَالَ: «كَعَكَرِ الزَّيْتِ، فَإِذَا قَرَّبَهُ إِلَيْهِ سَقَطَتْ فَرْوَةُ وَجْهِهِ مِنْهُ»

وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « وَيْلٌ : وَادٍ فِي جَهَنَّمَ يَهْوِي فِيهِ الْكَافِرُ أَرْبَعِينَ خَرِيفًا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَبْلُغَ قَعْرَهُ ، وَقَالَ : الصَّعُودُ : جَبَلٌ مِنْ نَارٍ يَصْعَدُ فِيهِ سَبْعِينَ خَرِيفًا ، ثُمَّ يَهْوِي بِهِ كَذَلِكَ فِيهِ أَبَدًا » .

It was asked: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! What is it (the millah)?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is al-tahlil (saying there is no god worthy of worship except Allah), al-takbir (declaring the greatness of Allah), al-tasbih (declaring the purity of Allah), saying 'Al-hamdu lillah' (all praise belongs to Allah), and saying 'La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah' (there is no might to avoid sin nor power to do good except with the help of Allah)."
وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « يُنْصَبُ ؟ لِلْكَافِرِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِقْدَارُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ كَمَا لَمْ يَعْمَلْ لِلهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا ، وَإِنَّ الْكَافِرَ يَرَى جَهَنَّمَ وَيَظُنُّ أَنَّهَا مُوَاقِعَتُهُ مِنْ مَسِيرَةِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection, a period equal to fifty thousand years will be set for the disbeliever, because he did not do any deed for Allah in the world. And indeed the disbeliever will see Hell and will think that he is about to fall into it from a distance of forty years' journey."
وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَّكِئُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مَسِيرَةَ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَحَوَّلَ . ثُمَّ تَأْتِيهِ امْرَأَةٌ فَتَضْرِبُ عَلَى مَنْكِبَيْهِ ، فَيَنْظُرُ وَجْهَهُ فِي خَدِّهَا أَصْفَى مِنَ الْمِرْآةِ ، وَإِنَّ أَدْنَى لُؤْلُؤَةٍ عَلَيْهَا لَتُضِيءُ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ إِلَى الْمَغْرِبِ ، فَتُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِمْ ، فَيَرُدُّ عَلَيْهَا السَّلَامَ وَيَسْأَلُهَا : مَنْ أَنْتِ ؟ فَتَقُولُ : أَنَا هِيَ الْمَزِيدُ ، وَإِنَّهُ لَيَكُونُ عَلَيْهَا سَبْعُونَ ثَوْبًا ، أَدْنَاهَا مِثْلُ النُّعْمَانِ مِنْ طُوبَى ، فَيَنْفُذُهَا بَصَرُهُ حَتَّى يَرَى مُخَّ سَاقِهَا مِنْ وَرَاءِ ذَلِكَ ، وَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِمُ التِّيجَانَ ، إِنَّ أَدْنَى لُؤْلُؤَةٍ فِيهَا لَتُضِيءُ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The man of Paradise will remain reclining for the span of a seventy years' journey before he turns over (from his place). Then a woman (a houri) will come to him and tap him on his shoulders. He will see his face in her cheek, clearer and purer than a mirror, and even the least pearl on her body will light up everything between the east and the west. Then she will greet him with peace, and he will return her greeting and ask her: 'Who are you?' She will say: 'I am that "more" (mazid, the additional blessing).' There will be seventy garments on her body, the least of which will be like the anemone (shaqa'iq al-nu'man) of Tuba (the tree); his sight will pass through those garments until he sees the marrow of her shin from behind them. And on their heads will be crowns, the least pearl of which will illuminate the region between the east and the west."

وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « مَقْعَدُ الْكَافِرِ مِنَ النَّارِ ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ ، كُلُّ ضِرْسٍ لَهُ مِثْلُ أُحُدٍ ، وَفَخِذُهُ مِثْلُ وَرِقَانَ ، وَجِلْدُهُ سِوَى لَحْمِهِ وَعِظَامِهِ أَرْبَعُونَ ذِرَاعًا » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The sitting place of the disbeliever in the Fire of Hell will measure the distance of three days' journey; each of his molars will be like (Mount) Uhud, his thigh will be like (Mount) Warqan (in its enormous size), and the thickness of his skin alone, apart from his flesh and bones, will be forty cubits."
وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « لَوْ أَنَّ مِقْمَعًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ وُضِعَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَاجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْهِ الثَّقَلَانِ مَا أَقَلُّوهُ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If a single iron mace (of the kind used to strike the people of Hell) were placed on the earth, and all of the jinn and mankind gathered together to lift it, they would never be able to raise it from the ground."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The enclosure (suradiq) of Hell has four walls, and between every two walls is a distance of forty years' journey."
وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ : قِيلَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، يَوْمٌ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ ، مَا أَطْوَلَ هَذَا ! فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ ، إِنَّهُ لَيُخَفَّفُ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِ حَتَّى يَكُونَ أَخَفَّ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ صَلَاةٍ مَكْتُوبَةٍ يُصَلِّيهَا فِي الدُّنْيَا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that it was said (in the presence of the Messenger): "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! That day whose measure is fifty thousand years, how long (and heavy) it will be!" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By the One in whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! That day will indeed be made so light for the believer that it will be lighter and easier for him than a single obligatory prayer that he performs in the world."
وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ « أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « لَيَذْكُرَنَّ اللهَ قَوْمٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا عَلَى الْفُرُشِ الْمُمَهَّدَةِ يُدْخِلُهُمُ الْجِنَانَ الْعُلَى » » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, there will be some people in the world who remember Allah on their soft, comfortable beds, and Allah Almighty will admit them to the lofty ranks of Paradise."
وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ عُرِّفَ الْكَافِرُ بِعَمَلِهِ ، فَجَحَدَ وَخَاصَمَ ، فَيُقَالُ : هَؤُلَاءِ جِيرَانُكَ يَشْهَدُونَ عَلَيْكَ ، فَيَقُولُ : كَذَبُوا ، فَيَقُولُ : أَهْلُكُ ، عَشِيرَتُكَ ؟ فَيَقُولُ : كَذَبُوا ، فَيَقُولُ : احْلِفُوا ، فَيَحْلِفُونَ ، ثُمَّ يُصْمِتُهُمُ اللهُ وَتَشْهَدُ أَلْسِنَتُهُمْ ، ثُمَّ يُدْخِلُهُمُ النَّارَ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When it is the Day of Resurrection, the disbeliever will be made aware of his deeds, but he will deny (his sins) and argue. Then it will be said to him: 'These are your neighbours, who are bearing witness against you.' He will say: 'They have lied.' Then it will be said: 'Are your family and your clan also liars?' He will say: 'They too have lied.' Allah Almighty will say (to the deniers): 'Swear, all of you,' and they will swear. Then Allah Almighty will silence them (the deniers), and their own tongues will bear witness (to the truth); then Allah will admit them into the Fire."
وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « قَالَ مُوسَى : يَا رَبِّ عَلِّمْنِي شَيْئًا أَذْكُرُكَ وَأَدْعُوكَ بِهِ قَالَ : قُلْ يَا مُوسَى : لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ ، قَالَ : كُلُّ عِبَادِكَ يَقُولُ هَذَا . قَالَ : قُلْ : لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ . قَالَ : لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ، إِنَّمَا أُرِيدُ شَيْئًا تَخُصُّنِي بِهِ ، قَالَ : يَا مُوسَى لَوْ أَنَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعَ وَعَامِرَهُنَّ غَيْرِي ، وَالْأَرَضِينَ السَّبْعَ ، فِي كِفَّةٍ ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ فِي كِفَّةٍ ، مَالَتْ بِهِنَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) said in the court of the Divine: 'O my Lord! Teach me something by which I may remember You and supplicate to You.' Allah Almighty said: 'O Musa! Say "La ilaha illallah" (there is no god worthy of worship except Allah).' He said: 'O my Lord! All of Your servants say this phrase.' Allah Almighty said: 'Say "La ilaha illallah".' He said: 'There is no god worthy of worship except You, but I want something with which You single me out.' Allah Almighty said: 'O Musa! If the seven heavens and all their inhabitants other than Me, and the seven earths, were in one pan of the scale, and "La ilaha illallah" were in the other pan, the pan of "La ilaha illallah" would outweigh them all.'"
وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَنَّهُ قَالَ : « الْمَجَالِسُ ثَلَاثَةٌ : سَالِمٌ ، وَغَانِمٌ ، وَشَاجِبٌ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Gatherings are of three kinds: one that remains safe (from evils), a second that gains benefit (by gathering good and blessing), and a third that brings ruin (because of sins)."
وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ: {وَفُرُشٌ مَرْفُوعَةٌ} [الواقعة: 34] قَالَ: «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، إِنَّ ارْتِفَاعَهَا لَكَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ، وَإِنَّ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ لَمَسِيرَةُ خَمْسِمِائَةِ عَامٍ»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, about the words of Allah Almighty 'And raised couches': "By the One in whose Hand is my soul! The height of those couches is indeed as much as the distance between the earth and the heaven, and between the earth and the heaven is a distance of five hundred years' journey."
وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَنَّهُ قَالَ : « الشِّيَاعُ حَرَامٌ » قَالَ ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ : يَعْنِي : الَّذِي يَفْتَخِرُ بِالْجِمَاعِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Shiya' is forbidden." Ibn Lahi'ah (may Allah have mercy on him), explaining its meaning, said: "What is meant is the person who boasts (before people) about his sexual intercourse."
وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ « أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « رُبَّمَا رَجُلٌ كَسَبَ مَالًا مِنْ حَلَالٍ فَأَطْعَمَ نَفْسَهُ ، وَرَجُلٌ يَكُونُ لَهُ مَالٌ تَكُونُ فِيهِ الصَّدَقَةُ ، فَقَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ وَرَسُولِكَ ، وَصَلِّ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَالْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمَاتِ ، فَإِنَّهُ لَهُ زَكَاةٌ » » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Sometimes a person earns wealth through lawful means and spends it on himself (that is, eats from it himself), and someone has wealth in which there is (a due of) charity, and then he makes this supplication: 'Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammadin 'abdika wa rasulika, wa salli 'ala al-mu'minina wal-mu'minat wal-muslimina wal-muslimat' (O Allah, send Your mercy upon Your servant and Your Messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and send Your mercy upon the believing men, the believing women, the Muslim men and the Muslim women); then this (supplication) is zakah for him."
وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ « أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « لِلْجَنَّةِ مِائَةُ دَرَجَةٍ ، لَوْ أَنَّ الْعَالَمِينَ اجْتَمَعُوا فِي إِحْدَاهُنَّ وَسِعَتْهُمْ » » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Paradise has one hundred levels; if all the inhabitants of the worlds were to gather in just one of them, it would be enough for them all."
وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ « أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ قَالَ : وَعِزَّتِكَ يَا رَبِّ ، لَا أَبْرَحُ أُغْوِي عِبَادَكَ مَا دَامَتْ أَرْوَاحُهُمْ فِي أَجْسَادِهِمْ قَالَ الرَّبُّ : وَعِزَّتِي وَجَلَالِي لَا أَزَالُ أَغْفِرُ لَهُمْ مَا اسْتَغْفَرُونِي » » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Satan said: 'O my Lord! By Your might, I will keep misleading Your servants continually as long as their souls remain in their bodies.' The Lord said: 'By My might and My majesty, I too will keep forgiving them continually as long as they keep seeking My forgiveness.'"
وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ « أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، إِنَّهُ لَيَخْتَصِمُ حَتَّى الشَّاتَانِ فِيمَ انْتَطَحَتَا » » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By the One in whose Hand is my soul, (on the Day of Resurrection) even two goats will bring their case and dispute against one another over why they butted each other."
وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، أَيُّ الْعِبَادَةِ أَفْضَلُ دَرَجَةً عِنْدَ اللهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ؟ قَالَ : « الذَّاكِرِينَ اللهَ كَثِيرًا » ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، وَمَنِ الْغَازِي فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ : لَوْ ضَرَبَ بِسَيْفِهِ الْكُفَّارَ وَالْمُشْرِكِينَ حَتَّى يَنْكَسِرَ وَيَخْتَضِبَ دَمًا ، لَكَانَ الذَّاكِرُ اللهَ أَفْضَلَ مِنْهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I said: "O Messenger of Allah, which act of worship will be the most excellent in rank with Allah on the Day of Resurrection?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "(The worship of) those who remember Allah much." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, and the warrior who fights in the path of Allah (is he also below them)?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Even if he struck the disbelievers and the polytheists with his sword until it broke and was dyed with blood, the one who remembers Allah would still be more excellent than him."
وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ : هَاجَرَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مِنَ الْيَمَنِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : « هَجَرْتَ الشِّرْكَ ، وَلَكِنَّهُ الْجِهَادُ ، هَلْ بِالْيَمَنِ أَبَوَاكَ ؟ » قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : « أَذِنَا لَكَ ؟ » قَالَ : لَا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : « ارْجِعْ إِلَى أَبَوَيْكَ فَاسْتَأْذِنْهُمَا ، فَإِنْ فَعَلَا فَجَاهِدْ وَإِلَّا فَبِرَّهُمَا » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man emigrated from Yemen and came into the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "You have (by leaving your homeland) separated yourself from polytheism, but now the real matter is jihad. Are your parents living in Yemen?" He said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Have they given you permission (to go out for jihad)?" He said: No. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go back to your parents and ask their permission. If they give you permission, then fight in jihad; otherwise, hold fast to serving them and treating them kindly."
وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ : سَيَعْلَمُ أَهْلُ الْجَمْعِ الْيَوْمَ مَنْ أَهْلُ الْكَرَمِ ، فَقِيلَ : وَمَنْ أَهْلُ الْكَرَمِ ؟ » قَالَ : « أَهْلُ الذِّكْرِ فِي الْمَسَاجِدِ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection the Lord will say: 'Today all the people gathered on the plain of the Gathering will come to know who the people of true nobility and honour are.' It was said: 'And who are those people of honour and nobility?' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Those who remember Allah in the mosques.'"
وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ « أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « إِنَّ أَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلَةً الَّذِي لَهُ ثَمَانُونَ أَلْفَ خَادِمٍ ، وَاثْنَانِ وَسَبْعُونَ زَوْجًا ، يُنْصَبُ لَهُ قُبَّةٌ مِنْ لُؤْلُؤٍ وَيَاقُوتٍ وَزَبَرْجَدٍ ، كَمَا بَيْنَ الْجَابِيَةِ وَصَنْعَاءَ » » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The lowest in rank among the people of Paradise will be the one who has eighty thousand servants and seventy-two wives, and for him a dome (tent) of pearl, ruby and chrysolite will be set up, as wide as the distance between al-Jabiyah and San'a."
وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - شَكَّ أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ - عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : « مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا صَغِيرًا أَوْ كَبِيرًا يُرَدُّونَ إِلَى سِتِّينَ سَنَةً فِي الْجَنَّةِ ، لَا يَزِيدُونَ عَلَيْهَا أَبَدًا ، وَكَذَلِكَ أَهْلُ النَّارِ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said (and the narrator Abu Khaythamah (may Allah have mercy on him) was in doubt whether this report from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) goes back to the Prophet): "Whoever of the people of this world dies, whether young or old, they will all be returned to the age of sixty in Paradise, and they will never go beyond it; and it will be likewise with the people of Hell."
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْمِقْدَامِ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْغَافِرِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : « لَيَأْخُذَنَّ الرَّجُلُ بِيَدِ أَبِيهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَلَيُقَطِّعَنَّهُ النَّارَ ، يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ ، فَيُنَادَى أَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ لَا يَدْخُلُهَا مُشْرِكٌ ، أَلَا إِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ حَرَّمَ الْجَنَّةَ عَلَى كُلِّ مُشْرِكٍ ، فَيَقُولُ : رَبِّ أَبِي ، رَبِّ أَبِي ، رَبِّ أَبِي . قَالَ : فَيُحَوَّلُ فِي صُورَةٍ قَبِيحَةٍ وَرِيحٍ مُنْتِنَةٍ فَيَتْرُكُهُ » .
قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ : فَكَانَ أَصْحَابُ مُحَمَّدٍ يَرَوْنَ أَنَّ ذَاكَ الرَّجُلَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ ، وَلَمْ يَزِدْهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَلَى ذَلِكَ .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection a man will take hold of his father's hand and want to take him across the Fire, intending to admit him into Paradise. Then it will be called out: 'Indeed, no polytheist will enter Paradise. Beware! Allah Almighty has forbidden Paradise to every polytheist.' He will say: 'My Lord, my father! My Lord, my father! My Lord, my father!'" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then he will be changed into an ugly form with a foul stench, and he will leave him." Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Companions of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) used to think that this person was Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not tell them anything more than that.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade wisal in fasting (fasting continuously without breaking the fast). It was said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), but you yourself do this?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I am not like any of you; I am given food and drink."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Dajjal will emerge, and a man from among the Muslims will head towards him. On the way he will be met by the armed detachments (guards) of the Dajjal, and they will ask him: 'Where are you heading?' He will reply: 'I am heading for this man who has emerged (as a trial).' They will say to him: 'Do you not believe in our lord (the Dajjal)?' He will say: 'I do not consider him to be true.' They will say: 'Kill him.' But then they will say to one another: 'Did your lord not forbid you to kill anyone without his permission?' So they will take him to the Dajjal. When the believer sees him, he will cry out: 'O people! This is indeed the Dajjal whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned.' Then, on the Dajjal's order, he will be laid out and beaten severely, until his back and belly are broadened by the blows. The Dajjal will say to him: 'Do you still not believe in me?' He will reply: 'You are the lying Messiah.' Then, on the Dajjal's order, he will be sawn with a saw from the parting of his hair down to his legs and divided into two pieces. Then the Dajjal will walk between the two pieces and say to him: 'Stand up!' And he will stand up straight, restored to health. The Dajjal will ask again: 'Do you now believe in me?' The believer will say: 'My insight and certainty about you have only increased beyond what they were before.' Then he will say: 'O people! After me he will not be able to treat any other human being like this.' The Dajjal will seize him to slaughter him, but Allah Almighty will turn the whole area from his chin to his collarbone into copper, so the Dajjal will find no way to slaughter him. So the Dajjal will take him by his hands and feet and throw him away; people will think that he has been thrown into the Fire, whereas he will have been cast into Paradise." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This man will be the greatest of people in the rank of martyrdom in the sight of the Lord of the worlds."
حَدَّثَنَا قَطَنُ بْنُ نَسِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعَلَّى بْنُ زِيَادٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا هَزَمَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ الْمُهَلَّبِ أَهْلَ الْبَصْرَةِ قَالَ الْمُعَلَّى: فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ أَجْلِسَ فِي حَلْقَةِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ فَأُوجَدَ فِيهَا فَأُعْرَفَ، فَأَتَيْتُ الْحَسَنَ فِي مَنْزِلِهِ، فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ، كَيْفَ بِهَذِهِ الْآيَةِ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: «أَيَّةُ آيَةٍ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ؟»، قُلْتُ: قَوْلُ اللَّهِ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ: {وَتَرَى كَثِيرًا مِنْهُمْ يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ وَأَكْلِهِمُ السُّحْتَ لَبِئْسَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ} [المائدة: 62]، قَالَ: «يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ الْقَوْمَ عَرَضُوا السَّيْفَ فَحَالَ السَّيْفُ دُونَ الْكَلَامِ»، قُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ، فَهَلْ تَعْرِفُ لِمُتَكَلِّمٍ فَضْلًا؟ قَالَ: «لَا»، قَالَ الْمُعَلَّى: ثُمَّ حَدَّثَ بِحَدِيثَيْنِ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِحَدِيثٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: «أَلَا لَا يَمْنَعَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ رَهْبَةُ النَّاسِ أَنْ يَقُولَ الْحَقَّ إِذَا رَآهُ، أَنْ يَذْكُرَ تَعْظِيمَ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُقَرِّبُ مِنْ أَجَلٍ، وَلَا يُبْعِدُ مِنْ رِزْقٍ» قَالَ: ثُمَّ حَدَّثَ الْحَسَنُ بِحَدِيثٍ آخَرَ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم : «لَيْسَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ أَنْ يَذِلَّ نَفْسَهُ» قِيلَ: وَمَا إِذْلَالُهُ نَفْسَهَ؟ قَالَ: «يَتَعَرَّضُ مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ لِمَا لَا يُطِيقُ» قِيلَ: يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ فَيَزِيدُ الضَّبِّيُّ وَكَلَامُهُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ؟ قَالَ: «أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَخْرُجْ مِنَ السِّجْنِ حَتَّى نَدِمَ»، قَالَ الْمُعَلَّى: فَقُمْتُ مِنْ مَجْلِسِ الْحَسَنِ فَأَتَيْتُ يَزِيدَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا مَوْدُودٍ، بَيْنَمَا أَنَا وَالْحَسَنُ نَتَذَاكَرُ إِذْ نَصَبْتُ أَمْرَكَ نَصْبًا، فَقَالَ: مَهْ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: قَدْ فَعَلْتَ؟ قَالَ: فَمَا قَالَ الْحَسَنُ؟ قُلْتُ قَالَ: «أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَخْرُجْ مِنَ السِّجْنِ حَتَّى نَدِمَ عَلَى مَقَالَتِهِ»، قَالَ يَزِيدُ: مَا نَدِمْتُ عَلَى مَقَالَتِي، وَايْمُ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ قُمْتُ مَقَامًا أُخْطِرُ فِيهِ بِنَفْسِي، قَالَ يَزِيدُ: فَأَتَيْتُ الْحَسَنَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ، غُلِبْنَا عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، نُغْلَبُ عَلَى صَلَاتِنَا؟ فَقَالَ: «يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّكَ لَمْ تَصْنَعْ شَيْئًا، إِنَّكَ تَعْرِضُ نَفْسَكَ لَهُمْ»، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ فَقَالَ لِي مِثْلَ مَقَالَتِهِ، قَالَ: فَقُمْتُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَالْحَكَمُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ يَخْطُبُ، فَقُلْتُ: رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ، الصَّلَاةَ، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا قُلْتُ ذَلِكَ احْتَوَشَتْنِيَ الرِّجَالُ يَتَعَاوَرُونِي، فَأَخَذُوا بِلِحْيَتِي وَتَلْبِيبَتِي، وَجَعَلُوا يَجِئُونَ بَطْنِي بِنِعَالِ سُيُوفِهِمْ، قَالَ: وَمَضَوْا بِي نَحْوَ الْمَقْصُورَةِ، فَمَا وَصَلْتُ إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُمْ سَيَقْتُلُونِي دُونَهُ، قَالَ: فَفُتِحَ لِي بَابُ الْمَقْصُورَةِ، قَالَ: فَدَخَلْتُ فَقُمْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الْحَكَمِ وَهُوَ سَاكِتٌ، فَقَالَ: أَمَجْنُونٌ أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ: وَمَا كُنَّا فِي صَلَاةٍ، فَقُلْتُ: أَصْلَحَ اللَّهُ الْأَمِيرَ، هَلْ مِنْ كَلَامٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: لَا، قُلْتُ: أَصْلَحَ اللَّهُ الْأَمِيرَ، أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا نَشَرَ مُصْحَفًا يَقْرَؤُهُ غُدْوَةً إِلَى اللَّيْلِ أَكَانَ ذَلِكَ قَاضِيًا عَنْهُ صَلَاتَهُ؟ قَالَ: وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَحْسِبُكَ مَجْنُونًا، قَالَ: وَأَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ جَالِسٌ تَحْتَ مِنْبَرِهِ سَاكِتٌ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَنَسُ، يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ، أَنْشُدُكَ اللَّهَ فَقَدْ خَدَمْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَصَحِبْتَهُ، أَبِمَعْرُوفٍ قُلْتُ أَمْ بِمُنْكَرٍ، أَبِحَقٍ قُلْتُ أَمْ بِبَاطِلٍ؟ قَالَ: فَلَا وَاللَّهِ، مَا أَجَابَنِي بِكَلِمَةٍ، قَالَ لَهُ الْحَكَمُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ: يَا أَنَسُ، قَالَ: يَقُولُ: لَبَّيْكَ، أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ وَقْتُ الصَّلَاةِ قَدْ ذَهَبَ، قَالَ: كَانَ بَقِيَ مِنَ الشَّمْسِ بَقِيَّةٌ، فَقَالَ: احْبِسُوهُ، قَالَ يَزِيدُ: فَأُقْسِمُ لَكَ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ - يَعْنِي لِلْمُعَلَّى - لَمَا لَقِيتُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِي كَانَ أَشَدَّ عَلَيَّ مِنْ مَقَامِي، قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: مُرَاءٍ، وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: مَجْنُونٌ، قَالَ: وَكَتَبَ الْحَكَمُ إِلَى الْحَجَّاجِ: أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي ضَبَّةَ قَامَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَالَ: الصَّلَاةَ، وَأَنَا أَخْطُبُ، وَقَدْ شَهِدَ الشُّهُودُ الْعُدُولُ عِنْدِي أَنَّهُ مَجْنُونٌ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ الْحَجَّاجُ: إِنْ كَانَتْ قَامَتِ الشُّهُودُ الْعُدُولُ أَنَّهُ مَجْنُونٌ فَخَلِّ سَبِيلَهُ، وَإِلَّا فَاقْطَعْ يَدَيْهِ وَرِجْلَيْهِ، وَاسْمُرْ عَيْنَيْهِ، وَاصْلُبْهُ، قَالَ: فَشَهِدُوا عِنْدَ الْحَكَمِ أَنِّي مَجْنُونٌ فَخَلَّى عَنِّي. قَالَ الْمُعَلَّى، عَنْ يَزِيدَ الضَّبِّيِّ: «مَاتَ أَخٌ لَنَا فَتَبِعْنَا جَنَازَتَهُ فَصَلَّيْنَا عَلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا دُفِنَ تَنَحَّيْتُ فِي عِصَابَةٍ، فَذَكَرْنَا اللَّهَ وَذَكَرْنَا مَعَادَنَا، فَإِنَّا كَذَلِكَ إِذْ رَأَيْنَا نَوَاصِيَ الْخَيْلِ وَالْحِرَابِ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ أَصْحَابِي قَامُوا وَتَرَكُونِي وَحْدِي، فَجَاءَ الْحَكَمُ حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَيَّ» فَقَالَ: مَا كُنْتُمْ تَصْنَعُونَ؟ قُلْتُ: «أَصْلَحَ اللَّهُ الْأَمِيرَ، مَاتَ صَاحِبٌ لَنَا فَصَلَّيْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَدُفِنَ، فَقَعَدْنَا نَذْكُرُ رَبَّنَا، وَنَذْكُرُ مَعَادَنَا، وَنَذْكُرُ مَا صَارَ إِلَيْهِ»، قَالَ: مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَفِرَّ كَمَا فَرُّوا؟ قُلْتُ: «أَصْلَحَ اللَّهُ الْأَمِيرَ، أَنَا أَبْرَأُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ سَاحَةً وَآمَنُ لِلْأَمِيرِ مِنْ أَنْ أَفِرَّ»، قَالَ: فَسَكَتَ الْحَكَمُ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ الْمُهَلَّبِ - وَكَانَ عَلَى شُرْطَتِهِ - تَدْرِي مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: هَذَا الْمُتَكَلِّمُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ، قَالَ: فَغَضِبَ الْحَكَمُ وَقَالَ: أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَجَرِيءٌ، خُذَاهُ، قَالَ: " فَأُخِذْتُ فَضَرَبَنِي أَرْبَعَمِائَةِ سَوْطٍ، فَمَا دَرَيْتُ حِينَ تَرَكَنِي مِنْ شِدَّةِ مَا ضَرَبَنِي، قَالَ: وَبَعَثَنِي إِلَى وَاسِطٍ، فَكُنْتُ فِي دِيمَاسِ الْحَجَّاجِ حَتَّى مَاتَ الْحَجَّاجُ "
Al-Mu'alla bin Ziyad (may Allah have mercy on him) relates: When Yazid bin al-Muhallab defeated the people of Basrah, I feared that if I sat in the circle of al-Hasan bin Abi al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him), I would be caught and recognised there. So I went to his house and said: "O Abu Sa'id, what do you say about this verse of the Book of Allah?" He asked: "Which verse?" I said: The saying of Allah Almighty: "And you see many of them hastening into sin and transgression and their devouring of what is unlawful; evil indeed is what they used to do." He said: "O servant of Allah, these people have brought out the sword, and the sword has come between (us and) speaking the truth." I asked: "O Abu Sa'id, do you know of any merit for one who speaks out the truth?" He said: "No." Then he narrated two hadiths. The first was this narration of Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "Beware! Let not the fear of people prevent any one of you from speaking the truth when he sees it, nor from mentioning the greatness of Allah, for speaking the truth neither brings death nearer nor keeps provision away." Then al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated another hadith, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is not permissible for a believer to humiliate himself." It was asked: "How does he humiliate himself?" He said: "He exposes himself to a trial that he does not have the strength to bear." He was asked: "O Abu Sa'id, what about Yazid al-Dabbi and what he said about the prayer?" He said: "He regretted his words before he came out of prison."
Al-Mu'alla said: I got up from the gathering of al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him), went to Yazid al-Dabbi and said: "O Abu Mawdud, al-Hasan al-Basri and I were talking, and I brought up your matter." He said: "Stop, O Abu al-Hasan!" I said: "I have already done it." He asked: "What did al-Hasan say?" I told him: "He said that Yazid had regretted his words before he came out of prison." Yazid said: "I did not regret my words. By Allah, I stood in a place where I put my life at risk." Yazid related: "I went to al-Hasan al-Basri and said: 'O Abu Sa'id, we have been overpowered in everything; are we to be overpowered in the matter of our prayer as well?' He said: 'O servant of Allah, you have achieved nothing; you are only exposing yourself to them.' I went to him again, and he said the same thing to me."
Then on Friday I stood up in the mosque while al-Hakam bin Ayyub was delivering the sermon, and I said: May Allah have mercy on you, the time of the prayer has come! When I said this, people fell upon me from all sides and took turns beating me. They seized my beard and my collar and, striking my belly with the hilts of their swords, took me towards the maqsurah. Before I got there, I thought they would kill me on the way. The door of the maqsurah was opened and I was made to stand before al-Hakam bin Ayyub. After remaining silent for a while, he asked: Are you mad? At that time we were not in prayer. I said: May Allah set the Amir aright! Is there any speech better than the Book of Allah? He said: No. I said: If a man were to open a mushaf and keep reading it from morning until evening, would that suffice him in place of the prayer? He said: By Allah, I think you are mad.
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) was sitting silently beneath his pulpit. I said: O Anas! O Abu Hamzah! I adjure you by Allah; you served the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and enjoyed his companionship. Tell me, did I speak what is right or what is wrong? Did I speak the truth or falsehood? By Allah, he did not answer me with a single word. Al-Hakam bin Ayyub called out to him: O Anas! He said: At your service, may Allah set you aright. The time of the prayer had passed, although some of the sun still remained. Al-Hakam said: Imprison him.
Yazid said to al-Mu'alla: O Abu al-Hasan, I swear to you that the hurt I suffered from the words of my own companions was harder on me than that stand of mine; some called me a show-off and some called me mad. Al-Hakam wrote to al-Hajjaj that a man of Banu Dabbah stood up on Friday during my sermon and said "The prayer!", and trustworthy witnesses have testified before me that he is mad. Al-Hajjaj wrote back: If trustworthy witnesses testify that he is mad, then let him go; otherwise cut off his hands and feet, drive nails into his eyes and crucify him. The people testified before al-Hakam that I was mad, so he let me go.
Al-Mu'alla also relates this incident from Yazid al-Dabbi: A brother of ours died. We followed his funeral, offered his funeral prayer, and after the burial sat aside with a few people. We were remembering Allah and our Hereafter when suddenly the forelocks of horses and spears came into view. When my companions saw them, they got up and left me alone. Al-Hakam came and stood over me and asked: What were you doing? I said: May Allah set the Amir aright! A companion of ours died; we prayed over him and buried him, then we sat remembering our Lord, our Hereafter and the end to which he has gone. He asked: Why did you not flee as your companions did? I said: May Allah set the Amir aright! My hands are clean of that charge, and the Amir is safer from me than that I should flee. Al-Hakam fell silent. His police chief, Abd al-Malik bin al-Muhallab, said: Do you know who this is? Al-Hakam asked: Who? He said: This is the man who spoke on Friday. Al-Hakam became angry and said: You are very bold! Seize him. So I was seized and given four hundred lashes. When they let me go, I was unconscious from the severity of the beating. Then he sent me to Wasit, where I remained in al-Hajjaj's prison until his death.
Al-Mu'alla said: I got up from the gathering of al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him), went to Yazid al-Dabbi and said: "O Abu Mawdud, al-Hasan al-Basri and I were talking, and I brought up your matter."
