وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ : كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ زَمَنَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَامَ يُصَلِّي بِأَطْوَلَ قِيَامٍ وَرُكُوعٍ وَسُجُودٍ رَأَيْتُهُ يَفْعَلُهُ فِي صَلَاةٍ قَطُّ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْآيَاتِ الَّتِي تُرْسَلُ لَا تَكُونُ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ ، وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - يُرْسِلُهَا يُخَوِّفُ بِهَا عِبَادَهُ ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا ، فَافْزَعُوا إِلَى ذِكْرِهِ وَدُعَائِهِ وَاسْتِغْفَارِهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that there was a solar eclipse in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up to pray and made the standing, the bowing and the prostration so long that I had never seen him (peace and blessings be upon him) do anything so long in any prayer. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "These signs which are sent (by Allah) do not occur because of anyone's death or life; rather, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, sends them to make His servants fear. So when you see anything of them (an eclipse and the like), hasten to the remembrance of Allah, to supplicating Him and to seeking His forgiveness."
وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ : سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ كَرِهَهَا ، فَلَمَّا أُكْثِرَ عَلَيْهِ غَضِبَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلنَّاسِ : سَلُونِي عَمَّا شِئْتُمْ ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : مَنْ أَبِي ؟ قَالَ : أَبُوكَ حُذَافَةُ ، فَقَالَ آخَرُ : مَنْ أَبِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ : أَبُوكَ سَالِمٌ مَوْلَى شَيْبَةَ .
فَلَمَّا رَأَى عُمَرُ مَا فِي وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مِنَ الْغَضَبِ قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنَّا نَتُوبُ إِلَى اللهِ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - .
فَلَمَّا رَأَى عُمَرُ مَا فِي وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مِنَ الْغَضَبِ قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنَّا نَتُوبُ إِلَى اللهِ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about things which he (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked. When the questions put to him became many, he (peace and blessings be upon him) became angry and said to the people: "Ask me about whatever you wish." At that a man asked: "Who is my father?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Your father is Hudhafah." Then another man said: "O Messenger of Allah, who is my father?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Your father is Salim, the freed slave (mawla) of Shaybah." When Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saw the signs of anger on the blessed face of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: "O Messenger of Allah, we turn in repentance to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic."
وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ : خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي غَزَاةٍ وَنَحْنُ سِتَّةُ نَفَرٍ بَيْنَنَا بَعِيرٌ نَعْتَقِبُهُ قَالَ : فَنَقِبَتْ أَقْدَامُنَا وَنَقِبَتْ قَدَمَايَ وَسَقَطَ أَظْفَارِي ، فَكُنَّا نَلُفُّ عَلَى أَرْجُلِنَا الْخِرَقَ . قَالَ : فَسُمِّيَتْ غَزْوَةَ ذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ لِمَا كُنَّا نَعْصِبُ عَلَى أَرْجُلِنَا مِنَ الْخِرَقِ . قَالَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ : فَحَدَّثَ أَبُو مُوسَى بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ، ثُمَّ كَرِهَ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ : مَا كُنْتُ أَصْنَعُ بِأَنْ أَذْكُرَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ : لِأَنَّهُ كَرِهَ أَنْ يَكُونَ شَيْئًا مِنْ عَمَلِهِ أَفْشَاهُ .
قَالَ أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، وَقَالَ غَيْرُهُ : اللهُ يَجْزِي بِهِ .
قَالَ أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، وَقَالَ غَيْرُهُ : اللهُ يَجْزِي بِهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him): "We set out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on an expedition, and there was one camel among the six of us, which we rode in turns. (From walking) our feet became wounded; both my feet were cracked and my nails fell off, so we used to wrap rags of cloth around our feet. For this reason it was named 'Ghazwat Dhat al-Riqa'' (the expedition of the patches), because we had tied rags around our feet." Abu Burdah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated this hadith, but afterwards he disliked having done so and said: "I should not have mentioned this hadith," because he disliked that any (good) deed of his should become known to people. Abu Usamah and other narrators also reported: "Allah Almighty alone will reward it (the hidden deed)."
وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « تَعَاهَدُوا الْقُرْآنَ ، فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَهُوَ أَشَدُّ تَفَلُّتًا مِنَ الْإِبِلِ مِنْ عُقُلِهَا » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Keep up the recitation of the Noble Qur'an constantly and keep revising it, for by the One in whose hand is my soul, it (the Qur'an) escapes from memory faster than camels that break loose from their tethers and run away."
وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: «مَثَلُ الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي يُذْكَرُ اللَّهُ فِيهِ، وَالْبَيْتِ الَّذِي لَا يُذْكَرُ اللَّهُ فِيهِ مَثَلُ الْحَيِّ وَالْمَيِّتِ ، الَّذِي يُذْكَرُ اللَّهُ فِيهِ وَالْبَيْتُ الَّذِي لَا يُذْكَرُ اللَّهُ فِيهِ مَثَلُ الْحَيِّ وَالْمَيِّتِ»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The example of the house in which Allah is remembered and the house in which Allah is not remembered is just like that of the living and the dead."
وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ جَلِيسِ الصَّالِحِ ، وَجَلِيسِ السَّوْءِ ، كَحَامِلِ الْمِسْكِ وَنَافِخِ الْكِيرِ ، فَحَامِلُ الْمِسْكِ إِمَّا أَنْ يُحْذِيَكَ ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَبْتَاعَ مِنْهُ ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَجِدَ مِنْهُ رِيحًا طَيِّبَةً ، وَنَافِخُ الْكِيرِ إِمَّا أَنْ يَحْرِقَ ثِيَابَكَ ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَجِدَ مِنْهُ رِيحًا مُنْتِنَةً » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The example of a righteous companion and a bad companion is like that of one who carries musk (a perfume seller) and one who blows the bellows of a furnace (a blacksmith). The one with musk will either give you some (fragrance) as a gift, or you will buy from him, or at the very least a pleasant fragrance will keep reaching you from him; whereas the one who blows the bellows will either burn your clothes or you will get nothing but a foul smell from him."
وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « لِلْمَمْلُوكِ الَّذِي يُحْسِنُ عِبَادَةَ رَبِّهِ وَيُؤَدِّي إِلَى سَيِّدِهِ الَّذِي لَهُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ وَالنَّصِيحَةِ وَالطَّاعَةِ ، أَجْرَانِ : أَجْرُ مَا أَحْسَنَ عِبَادَةَ رَبِّهِ ، وَأَجْرُ مَا أَدَّى إِلَى مَلِيكِهِ الَّذِي لَهُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is a double reward for the slave who worships his Lord in the best manner and also fulfils towards his master the sincere goodwill, obedience and other rights which he owes him: one reward for his excellent worship of Allah, and the other reward for fulfilling the rights of his master which were binding on him."
وَبِهِ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : « إِنَّ الْأَشْعَرِيِّينَ إِذَا أَرْمَلُوا فِي الْغَزْوِ ، أَوْ قَلَّ طَعَامُ عِيَالِهِمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ ، جَمَعُوا مَا كَانَ عِنْدَهُمْ فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ ، ثُمَّ اقْتَسَمُوا بَيْنَهُمْ فِي إِنَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ بِالسَّوِيَّةِ ، وَهُمْ مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْهُمْ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, when the people of the Ash'ari tribe run short of provisions during jihad, or the food of their families in Madinah runs low, they gather whatever (food) they have in a single sheet, then divide it equally among themselves using one and the same vessel as a measure. So they are from me and I am from them."
وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « إِنَّ مَثَلِي وَمَثَلَ مَا بَعَثَنِي اللهُ بِهِ ، كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ أَتَاهُ قَوْمُهُ ، فَقَالَ : يَا قَوْمِ ، إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ الْجَيْشَ ، إِنِّي أَنَا النَّذِيرُ الْعُرْيَانُ ، فَالنَّجَاءَ ! ! فَأَطَاعَهُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ فَأَدْلَجُوا ، فَانْطَلَقُوا عَلَى مَهْلِهِمْ ، فَنَجَوْا ، وَكَذَّبَتْ طَائِفَةٌ فَأَصْبَحُوا مَكَانَهُمْ ، فَصَبَّحَهُمُ الْجَيْشُ فَاجْتَاحَهُمْ ، فَذَلِكَ مَثَلُ مَنْ أَطَاعَنِي فَاتَّبَعَ مَا جِئْتُ بِهِ ، وَمَثَلُ مَنْ عَصَانِي وَكَذَّبَ مَا جِئْتُ بِهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The example of me and of that (guidance and knowledge) with which Allah Almighty has sent me is like that of a man who came to his people and said: O my people, I have seen the (enemy) army with my own eyes, and I am the naked warner (one who warns you in the plainest terms), so save yourselves! A group of his people obeyed him and set off at the beginning of the night, travelling calmly towards their destination, and so they were saved. But another group called him a liar and stayed where they were, so at daybreak the army attacked them and wiped them out completely. That is the example of the one who obeys me and follows the religion I have brought, and the example of the one who disobeys me and denies the truth with which I have been sent."
وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « إِنَّ مَثَلَ مَا أَتَانِي اللهُ بِهِ مِنَ الْهُدَى وَالْعِلْمِ كَمَثَلِ غَيْثٍ أَصَابَ أَرْضًا ، فَكَانَتْ مِنْهَا طَائِفَةٌ طَيِّبَةٌ قَبِلَتِ الْمَاءَ ، فَأَنْبَتَتِ الْكَلَأَ وَالْعُشْبَ الْكَثِيرَ ، وَكَانَتْ مِنْهَا إِخَاذَاتٌ أَمْسَكَتِ الْمَاءَ ، فَنَفَعَ اللهُ بِهَا النَّاسَ ، فَشَرِبُوا مِنْهَا وَسَقَوْا وَزَرَعُوا ، وَأَصَابَتْ مِنْهَا طَائِفَةً أُخْرَى ، إِنَّمَا هِيَ قِيعَانٌ لَا تُمْسِكُ مَاءً وَلَا تُنْبِتُ كَلَأً ، فَذَلِكَ مَثَلُ مَنْ فَقُهَ فِي دِينِ اللهِ وَنَفَعَهُ مَا بَعَثَنِي اللهُ بِهِ ، فَعَلِمَ وَعَلَّمَ ، وَمَثَلُ مَنْ لَمْ يَرْفَعْ بِذَلِكَ رَأْسًا وَلَمْ يَقْبَلْ هُدَى اللهِ الَّذِي أُرْسِلْتُ بِهِ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, the example of the guidance and knowledge with which Allah Almighty has sent me is like that of heavy rain which fell on land. One piece of land, which was good and fertile, absorbed the water and brought forth abundant fodder and green grass. Another part of the land was hard and held the water, so Allah Almighty benefited people through it: they drank from it themselves, gave others water to drink and farmed. And part of the rain fell on barren plains of land which neither hold water nor grow vegetation. That is the example of the one who gains understanding of the religion of Allah and benefits from the knowledge with which Allah has sent me, so he learns himself and teaches others too; and the example of the one who does not even raise his head towards it and does not accept the guidance of Allah with which I have been sent."
وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « مَثَلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْيَهُودِ وَالنَّصَارَى ، كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ اسْتَأْجَرَ قَوْمًا ، يَعْمَلُونَ لَهُ عَمَلًا يَوْمًا إِلَى اللَّيْلِ عَلَى أَجْرٍ مَعْلُومٍ ، فَعَمِلُوا لَهُ إِلَى نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ ، ثُمَّ قَالُوا : لَا حَاجَةَ لَنَا فِي أَجْرِكَ الَّذِي شَرَطْتَ لَنَا ، وَمَا عَمِلْنَا بَاطِلٌ ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ : لَا تَفْعَلُوا ، اعْمَلُوا بَقِيَّةَ يَوْمِكُمْ وَخُذُوا أَجْرَكُمْ كَامِلًا ، فَأَبَوْا وَتَرَكُوا ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَاسْتَأْجَرَ قَوْمًا آخَرِينَ بَعْدَهُمْ ، وَقَالَ : اعْمَلُوا بَقِيَّةَ يَوْمِكُمْ وَلَكُمُ الَّذِي شَرَطْتُ لَهُمْ مِنَ الْأَجْرِ ، فَعَمِلُوا حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ حِينَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ ، قَالُوا : لَكَ الَّذِي عَمِلْنَا بَاطِلٌ ، وَلَكَ الْأَجْرُ الَّذِي جَعَلْتَ لَنَا ، لَا حَاجَةَ لَنَا فِيهِ قَالَ : اعْمَلُوا بَقِيَّةَ عَمَلِكُمْ ، فَإِنَّ مَا بَقِيَ مِنَ النَّهَارِ شَيْءٌ يَسِيرٌ ، ثُمَّ خُذُوا أَجْرَكُمْ ، فَأَبَوْا عَلَيْهِ ، فَاسْتَأْجَرَ قَوْمًا آخَرِينَ ، فَعَمِلُوا لَهُ بَقِيَّةَ يَوْمِهِمْ حَتَّى غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَاسْتَكْمَلُوا أَجْرَ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ كِلَيْهِمَا ، وَالْأَجْرَ كُلَّهُ ، فَذَلِكَ مَثَلُ الْيَهُودِ وَالنَّصَارَى وَالَّذِينَ تَرَكُوا مَا أَمَرَهُمُ اللهُ بِهِ ، وَمَثَلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ الَّذِينَ قَبِلُوا هُدَى اللهِ وَمَا جَاءَ بِهِ رَسُولُهُ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The example of the Muslims, the Jews and the Christians is like that of a man who hired some people to work for him for a day until night for a fixed wage. They worked until midday and then said: We have no need of the wage you fixed for us, and the work we have done is wasted. The man said to them: Do not do this; complete the rest of your day's work and receive your full wage. But they refused and abandoned the work. Then after them he hired other people and said: Work for the rest of the day, and you will get the wage I fixed for those first ones. So they worked until, when the time of the Asr prayer came, they too said: The work we have done is wasted, and keep for yourself the wage you fixed for us; we have no need of it. The man said: Complete the rest of your work, for only a very small part of the day is left now, then take your wage. But they too refused. Then he hired some other people, who worked for the rest of the day until the sun set, and they received the full reward, including the wages of both earlier groups. That is the example of the Jews and the Christians who abandoned the commands of Allah, and that is the example of the Muslims who accepted the guidance of Allah and the teachings brought by His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، عَنْ بُرَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ : لَمَّا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مِنْ حُنَيْنٍ ، بَعَثَ أَبَا عَامِرٍ عَلَى جَيْشٍ إِلَى أَوْطَاسٍ ، فَلَقِيَ دُرَيْدَ بْنَ الصِّمَّةِ ، فَقَتَلَ دُرَيْدًا ، وَهَزَمَ اللهُ أَصْحَابَهُ ، قَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى : وَبَعَثَنِي مَعَ أَبِي عَامِرٍ قَالَ : فَرُمِيَ أَبُو عَامِرٍ فِي رُكْبَتِهِ ، رَمَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي جُشَمٍ بِسَهْمٍ ، فَأَثْبَتَهُ فِي رُكْبَتِهِ ، فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ : يَا عَمِّ ، مَنْ رَمَاكَ ؟ فَأَشَارَ أَبُو عَامِرٍ إِلَى أَبِي مُوسَى : أَنَّ ذَاكَ قَاتِلِي ، تُرَاهُ ذَاكَ الَّذِي رَمَانِي ، قَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى : فَقَصَدْتُ لَهُ ، فَاعْتَمَدْتُ لَهُ ، فَلَحِقْتُهُ ، فَلَمَّا رَآنِي وَلَّى عَنِّي ذَاهِبًا فَاتَّبَعْتُهُ ، وَجَعَلْتُ أَقُولُ : أَلَا تَسْتَحِي ؟ أَلَا تَثْبُتُ ؟ أَلَا تَسْتَحِي ؟ أَلَسْتَ عَرَبِيًّا ؟ فَكَفَّ ، فَالْتَقَيْتُ أَنَا وَهُوَ ، فَاخْتَلَفْنَا أَنَا وَهُوَ ضَرْبَتَيْنِ ، فَضَرَبْتُهُ بِالسَّيْفِ فَقَتَلْتُهُ ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَامِرٍ ، فَقُلْتُ : قَدْ قَتَلَ اللهُ صَاحِبَكَ .
قَالَ : فَانْزِعْ هَذَا السَّهْمَ ، فَنَزَعْتُهُ ، فَنَزَلَ مِنْهُ الْمَاءُ قَالَ : يَا ابْنَ أَخِي ، انْطَلِقْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَأَقْرِئْهُ مِنِّي السَّلَامَ ، وَقُلْ لَهُ : يَقُولُ لَكَ : اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي .
قَالَ : فَاسْتَخْلَفَنِي أَبُو عَامِرٍ ، وَمَكَثَ يَسِيرًا ، ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ مَاتَ ، فَلَمَّا رَجَعْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتٍ عَلَى سَرِيرٍ ، وَقَدْ أَثَّرَ السَّرِيرُ بِظَهْرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَجَنْبَيْهِ ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ خَبَرَنَا ، وَخَبَرَ أَبِي عَامِرٍ ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنَّهُ قَدْ قَالَ : اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي . قَالَ : فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِمَاءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ مِنْهُ ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِعُبَيْدٍ أَبِي عَامِرٍ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَوْقَ كَثِيرٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ ، وَمِنَ النَّاسِ .
فَقُلْتُ : وَلِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَاسْتَغْفِرْ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ ذَنْبَهُ ، وَأَدْخِلْهُ مُدْخَلًا كَرِيمًا .
قَالَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ : إِحْدَاهُمَا لِأَبِي عَامِرٍ وَالْأُخْرَى لِأَبِي مُوسَى .
قَالَ : فَانْزِعْ هَذَا السَّهْمَ ، فَنَزَعْتُهُ ، فَنَزَلَ مِنْهُ الْمَاءُ قَالَ : يَا ابْنَ أَخِي ، انْطَلِقْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَأَقْرِئْهُ مِنِّي السَّلَامَ ، وَقُلْ لَهُ : يَقُولُ لَكَ : اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي .
قَالَ : فَاسْتَخْلَفَنِي أَبُو عَامِرٍ ، وَمَكَثَ يَسِيرًا ، ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ مَاتَ ، فَلَمَّا رَجَعْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتٍ عَلَى سَرِيرٍ ، وَقَدْ أَثَّرَ السَّرِيرُ بِظَهْرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَجَنْبَيْهِ ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ خَبَرَنَا ، وَخَبَرَ أَبِي عَامِرٍ ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنَّهُ قَدْ قَالَ : اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي . قَالَ : فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِمَاءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ مِنْهُ ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِعُبَيْدٍ أَبِي عَامِرٍ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَوْقَ كَثِيرٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ ، وَمِنَ النَّاسِ .
فَقُلْتُ : وَلِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَاسْتَغْفِرْ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ ذَنْبَهُ ، وَأَدْخِلْهُ مُدْخَلًا كَرِيمًا .
قَالَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ : إِحْدَاهُمَا لِأَبِي عَامِرٍ وَالْأُخْرَى لِأَبِي مُوسَى .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had finished with (the battle of) Hunayn, he (peace and blessings be upon him) sent an army under the command of Sayyiduna Abu Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) to Awtas. There they met Durayd bin al-Simmah, and Sayyiduna Abu Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) killed Durayd, and Allah Almighty defeated his companions. Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had sent me too with Sayyiduna Abu Amir (may Allah be pleased with him). (During the fighting) a man from Banu Jusham shot an arrow at the knee of Sayyiduna Abu Amir (may Allah be pleased with him), and it lodged in his knee. I reached him and asked: "O uncle, who shot you?" Sayyiduna Abu Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) pointed towards Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "That is my killer; you see him, he is the one who shot me." Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I made for him and rushed at him until I caught up with him. When he saw me, he turned his back and began to flee. I pursued him and challenged him, saying: Are you not ashamed? Can you not stand firm? Are you not an honourable Arab? So he stopped. Then he and I came face to face and we exchanged blows, and finally I killed him with my sword. Then I came back to Sayyiduna Abu Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: Allah Almighty has destroyed your enemy." He said: "Pull out this arrow." I pulled it out, and yellowish water flowed from the wound. Then he instructed: "O my nephew, go to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), convey my greetings of peace to him and tell him to pray for my forgiveness." Then Sayyiduna Abu Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) appointed me as his successor, and a short while later he passed away. When I returned to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I found him (peace and blessings be upon him) in a house, sitting on a bed woven with cords, the marks of which showed on his blessed back and sides. I told him (peace and blessings be upon him) the whole story of myself and of Sayyiduna Abu Amir (may Allah be pleased with him), and said that he had asked him (peace and blessings be upon him) to seek forgiveness for him. The narrator said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called for water and performed ablution, then he raised both his hands and supplicated: "O Allah, forgive Ubayd Abu Amir." Then he supplicated: "O Allah, on the Day of Resurrection raise him above many of Your creation and of mankind." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, pray for me too." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated: "O Allah, forgive Abdullah bin Qays (Abu Musa) his sins and admit him to an honourable place." Abu Burdah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: One of these supplications was for Sayyiduna Abu Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) and the other for Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him).
وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ : كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - نَازِلًا بِالْجِعْرَانَةِ بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ ، وَمَعَهُ بِلَالٌ ، فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - رَجُلٌ أَعْرَابِيٌّ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : أَلَا تُنْجِزُ لِي يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَا وَعَدْتَنِي ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : « أَبْشِرْ » فَقَالَ لَهُ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ : قَدْ أَكْثَرْتَ عَلَيَّ مِنَ الْبِشْرِ . قَالَ : فَأَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَلَى أَبِي مُوسَى وَبِلَالٍ كَهَيْئَةِ الْغَضْبَانِ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ هَذَا قَدْ رَدَّ الْبُشْرَى ، فَاقْبَلَا أَنْتُمَا ، فَقَالَا : قَبِلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ .
قَالَ : فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِقَدَحٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ وَوَجْهَهُ وَمَجَّ فِيهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمَا : اشْرَبَا مِنْهُ ، وَأَفْرِغَا عَلَى وُجُوهِكُمَا وَنُحُورِكُمَا ، فَأَخَذَا الْقَدَحَ فَفَعَلَا مَا أَمَرَهُمَا بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَنَادَتْنَا أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ السِّتْرِ أَنْ أَفْضِلَا لِأُمِّكُمَا مِمَّا فِي إِنَائِكُمَا ، فَأَفْضَلَا لَهَا مِنْهُ طَائِفَةً .
قَالَ : فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِقَدَحٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ وَوَجْهَهُ وَمَجَّ فِيهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمَا : اشْرَبَا مِنْهُ ، وَأَفْرِغَا عَلَى وُجُوهِكُمَا وَنُحُورِكُمَا ، فَأَخَذَا الْقَدَحَ فَفَعَلَا مَا أَمَرَهُمَا بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَنَادَتْنَا أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ السِّتْرِ أَنْ أَفْضِلَا لِأُمِّكُمَا مِمَّا فِي إِنَائِكُمَا ، فَأَفْضَلَا لَهَا مِنْهُ طَائِفَةً .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that I was with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at al-Ji'ranah, between Makkah and Madinah, and Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) was also with him (peace and blessings be upon him). Then a Bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Muhammad, will you not fulfil the promise you made to me?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Accept the glad tidings." The Bedouin said (out of ignorance): "You have given me plenty of glad tidings already." (Hearing this) the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) turned to Sayyiduna Abu Musa and Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with them both) like one who is angry and said: "This man has rejected the glad tidings, so you two accept them." They both said: "O Messenger of Allah, we accept." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called for a bowl of water, washed his hands and his blessed face in it and rinsed his mouth into it, then said to the two of them: "Drink from it, and pour it over your faces and your chests." So they took the bowl and did as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had ordered them. Then Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) called to us from behind the curtain: "Leave some of what is in your vessel for your mother too." So they left a portion of it for her.
وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ : وُلِدَ لِي غُلَامٌ ، فَأَتَيْتُ بِهِ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَسَمَّاهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، وَحَنَّكَهُ بِتَمْرَةٍ ، وَدَعَا لَهُ بِالْبَرَكَةِ ، وَدَفَعَهُ إِلَيَّ ، وَكَانَ أَكْبَرَ وَلَدِ أَبِي مُوسَى .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "A boy was born to me, so I took him to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) named him Ibrahim, performed tahnik for him with a date (that is, chewed a date and put it in his mouth), supplicated for blessing for him, and then gave him back to me." This son was the eldest of the children of Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him).
وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ: بَلَغَنَا مَخْرَجُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَنَحْنُ بِالْيَمَنِ فَخَرَجْنَا مُهَاجِرِينَ إِلَيْهِ، وَأَخَوَانِ لِي أَنَا أَصْغَرُهُمَا: أَحَدُهُمَا أَبُو بُرْدَةَ، وَالْآخَرُ أَبُو رُهْمٍ ـ إِمَّا قَالَ: بِضْعٌ، وَإِمَّا قَالَ: فِي ثَلَاثَةٍ أَوِ اثْنَيْنِ وَخَمْسِينَ رَجُلًا مِنْ قَوْمِي ـ فَرَكِبْنَا سَفِينَةً، فَأَلْقَتْنَا سَفِينَتُنَا إِلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ بِالْحَبَشَةِ، فَوَافَقْنَا جَعْفَرَ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَأَصْحَابُهُ عِنْدَهُ، قَالَ جَعْفَرٌ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَعَثَنَا ، وَأَمَرَنَا بِالْإِقَامَةِ فَأَقِيمُوا مَعَنَا، فَأَقَمْنَا مَعَهُ حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا جَمِيعًا، قَالَ: فَوَافَقْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حِينَ فَتْحَ خَيْبَرَ فَأَسْهَمَ لَنَا ـ أَوْ قَالَ: فَأَعْطَانَا ـ مِنْهَا، وَمَا قَسَمَ لِأَحَدٍ غَابَ عَنْ فَتْحٍ ـ يَعْنِي خَيْبَرَ ـ شَيْئًا إِلَّا لِمَنْ شَهِدَ مَعَهُ إِلَّا أَصْحَابَ سَفِينَتِنَا مَعَ جَعْفَرٍ وَأَصْحَابِهِ ، قَسَمَ لَهُمْ مَعَهُمْ، قَالَ: فَكَانَ نَاسٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ يَقُولُونَ لَنَا ـ يَعْنِي أَهْلَ السَّفِينَةِ ـ: سَبَقْنَاكُمْ بِالْهِجْرَةِ، قَالَ: فَدَخَلَتْ أَسْمَاءُ بِنْتُ عُمَيْسٍ ـ وَهِيَ مِمَّنْ قَدِمَ مَعَنَا ـ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم زَائِرَةً، وَقَدْ كَانَتْ هَاجَرَتْ إِلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ فِيمَنْ هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِ، فَدَخَلَ عُمَرُ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ وَأَسْمَاءُ عِنْدَهَا، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ حِينَ رَأَى أَسْمَاءَ: مَنْ هَذِهِ؟ قَالَتْ: أَسْمَاءُ بِنْتُ عُمَيْسٍ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: الْحَبَشِيَّةُ هَذِهِ؟ الْبَحْرِيَّةُ هَذِهِ؟ فَقَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: سَبَقْنَاكُمْ بِالْهِجْرَةِ، نَحْنُ أَحَقُّ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَغَضِبَتْ، وَقَالَتْ كَلِمَةً: يَا عُمَرُ، كَلَّا وَاللَّهِ ، كُنْتُمْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، يُطْعِمُ جَائِعَكُمْ، وَيَعِظُ جَاهِلَكُمْ، وَكُنَّا فِي دَارِ أَوْ فِي أَرْضِ الْبُعَدَاءِ الْبُغَضَاءِ بِالْحَبَشَةِ، وَذَلِكَ فِي اللَّهِ وَفِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، وَايْمُ اللَّهِ لَا أَطْعَمُ طَعَامًا، وَلَا أَشْرَبُ شَرَابًا حَتَّى أَذْكُرَ مَا قُلْتَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، وَنَحْنُ كُنَّا نُؤْذَى وَنَخَافُ، وَسَأَذْكُرُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، وَأَسْأَلُهُ، وَاللَّهِ لَا أَكْذِبُ وَلَا أَزِيغُ وَلَا أَزِيدُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَتْ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ عُمَرَ قَالَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: «فَمَا قُلْتِ لَهُ؟»، قَالَتْ: قُلْتُ كَذَا وَكَذَا، قَالَ: «لَيْسَ بِأَحَقَّ بِي مِنْكُمْ، وَلَهُ وَلِأَصْحَابِهِ هِجْرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ، وَلَكُمْ أَنْتُمْ أَهْلَ السَّفِينَةِ هِجْرَتَانِ»، قَالَتْ: فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا مُوسَى وَأَصْحَابَ السَّفِينَةِ يَأْتُونَنِي أَرْسَالًا يَسْأَلُونَنِي عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ، مَا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا شَيْءٌ هُمْ بِهِ أَفْرَحُ وَلَا أَعْظَمُ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ مِمَّا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، قَالَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ: قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ: فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا مُوسَى وَإِنَّهُ لَيَسْتَعِيدُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مِنِّي ،
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that while we were in Yemen, news reached us of the migration of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so we set out to migrate to him (peace and blessings be upon him). My two brothers were with me, and I was the youngest of them; one of them was Abu Burdah and the other Abu Ruhm. We set out with fifty-three or fifty-two men of our people. Then we boarded a ship, and our ship brought us to the Negus (al-Najashi) in Abyssinia. There we met Sayyiduna Ja'far bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) and stayed with them. Sayyiduna Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent us here and ordered us to stay here, so you too stay here with us." So we stayed with them until we all came back together. Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When we reached the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Khaybar had been conquered at that time, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave us too a share of the spoils of Khaybar, although he (peace and blessings be upon him) had not given a share to anyone absent other than those who took part in the battle of Khaybar, except the people of our ship who came with Sayyiduna Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) and his companions; he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave them a share along with the fighters. Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Some people used to say to us (that is, to the people of the ship): "We preceded you in migration." Meanwhile Sayyidah Asma' bint Umays (may Allah be pleased with her), who was among those who came with Sayyiduna Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him), came to visit Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her), the pure wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). She was among those who had migrated to the Negus. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) also came to Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her), and on seeing Sayyidah Asma' (may Allah be pleased with her) there, he asked: "Who is this?" Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) replied: "This is Asma' bint Umays." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said (by way of remark): "I see, is this the Abyssinian one, the one who came by sea?" Sayyidah Asma' (may Allah be pleased with her) replied: "Yes." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "We preceded you in migration, so we have more right to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) than you." On hearing this she became angry and said: "O Umar, never! By Allah, you were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); he (peace and blessings be upon him) fed the hungry among you and admonished the ignorant among you, while we were living in the distant land of enemies in Abyssinia, and all of that was for the sake of Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). By Allah, I will neither eat food nor drink water until I mention what you said to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). We were harmed there and lived in fear. I will mention all this to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and ask him (peace and blessings be upon him). By Allah, I will not lie, nor deviate from the truth, nor add anything of my own." So when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came, she said: "O Prophet of Allah, Umar has said such and such." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What did you reply to him?" She said: "I replied such and such." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He (Umar) has no more right to me than you. He and his companions have the reward of one migration, whereas you, O people of the ship, have the reward of two migrations." Sayyidah Asma' (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I saw that Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) and the people of the ship would come to me in groups and ask me about this hadith. Nothing in the world was a greater cause of joy and honour for them than what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had said about them. Abu Burdah (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyidah Asma' (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I saw Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) asking me again and again to repeat this hadith.
وَحَدَّثَنَا مَرَّةً أُخْرَى، وَقَالَ: «لَكُمُ الْهِجْرَةُ مَرَّتَيْنِ ، هَاجَرْتُمْ إِلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ وَهَاجَرْتُمْ إِلَيَّ»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), narrating (to us) on another occasion, said: "You have the reward of two migrations: you made one migration to the Negus and (the other) migration to me."
وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : « إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُ أَصْوَاتَ رُفْقَةِ الْأَشْعَرِيِّينَ بِالْقُرْآنِ ، وَإِنْ كُنْتُ لَا أَرَى مَنَازِلَهُمْ حِينَ نَزَلُوا بِالنَّهَارِ ، وَأَعْرِفُ مَنَازِلَهُمْ مِنْ أَصْوَاتِهِمْ بِالْقُرْآنِ بِاللَّيْلِ ، وَمِنْهُمْ حَكِيمٌ إِذَا لَقِيَ الْخَيْلَ - أَوْ قَالَ : الْعَدُوَّ - قَالَ لَهُمْ : إِنَّ أَصْحَابِي يَأْمُرُونَكُمْ أَنْ تَنْتَظِرُوهُمْ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I recognise well the voices of the group of the Ash'aris reciting the Qur'an. Even if I have not seen during the day where they have camped, at night I come to know their dwellings from the voices of their Qur'an recitation. Among them is a wise man who, when he meets the enemy's horsemen," or he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "the enemy, says to them: My companions order you to wait for them."
وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِذَا بَعَثَ أَحَدًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فِي بَعْضِ أَمْرِهِ قَالَ : بَشِّرُوا وَلَا تُنَفِّرُوا ، وَيَسِّرُوا وَلَا تُعَسِّرُوا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent one of his Companions on some task of his, he would say: "Give people glad tidings and do not drive them away (from the religion); make things easy for them and do not put them in hardship and difficulty."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا بُرَيْدٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَنَا وَرَجُلَانِ مِنْ بَنِي عَمِّي ، فَقَالَ أَحَدُ الرَّجُلَيْنِ : أَيْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ، أَمِّرْنَا عَلَى بَعْضِ مَا وَلَّاكَ اللهُ ، وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّا وَاللهِ لَا نُوَلِّي هَذَا الْعَمَلَ أَحَدًا سَأَلَهُ ، وَلَا أَحَدًا حَرَصَ عَلَيْهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and with me were two men from among my cousins. One of them said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), make us governors (amirs) over some of the regions whose administration Allah Almighty has entrusted to you." The other man made a similar request. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By Allah, we never appoint to this office of authority anyone who asks for it himself, nor anyone who is eager and greedy for it."
وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : « الْمُؤْمِنُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ كَالْبُنْيَانِ يَشُدُّ بَعْضُهُ بَعْضًا » ، ثُمَّ شَبَّكَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A believer to another believer is like a building, one part of which gives strength to another." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) interlaced the fingers of his blessed hands (to illustrate this).
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ بُرَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيُمْلِي لِلظَّالِمِ حَتَّى إِذَا أَخَذَهُ لَمْ يُفْلِتْهُ»، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ: " {وَكَذَلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَا أَخَذَ الْقُرَى وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٌ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ} [هود: 102] "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty keeps giving respite to the wrongdoer, until, when He seizes him, He does not let him escape." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this blessed verse: "And such is the seizure of your Lord when He seizes the towns while they are doing wrong; indeed, His seizure is painful and severe." [Hud: 102]
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْعَلَّافُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَسْبَاطُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْقُرَشِيُّ ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ جَارِيَةٌ فَأَحْسَنَ إِلَيْهَا ، وَأَدَّبَهَا ، وَأَعْتَقَهَا ، وَتَزَوَّجَهَا ، فَلَهُ أَجْرَانِ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever has a slave girl, then treats her well, adorns her with the best education and upbringing, then frees her and marries her, will have a double reward."
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبِي وَهُوَ بِحَضْرَةِ الْعَدُوِّ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : إِنَّ أَبْوَابَ الْجَنَّةِ تَحْتَ ظِلَالِ السُّيُوفِ قَالَ : فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ رَثُّ الْهَيْئَةِ ، فَقَالَ : يَا أَبَا مُوسَى ، آنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ . قَالَ : فَرَجَعَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ ، فَقَالَ : أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّلَامَ ، ثُمَّ كَسَرَ جَفْنَ سَيْفِهِ ، فَأَلْقَاهُ ، ثُمَّ مَشَى بِسَيْفِهِ إِلَى الْعَدُوِّ فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ .
Abu Bakr bin Abdullah bin Qays (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I heard my father, Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him), while he was facing the enemy, saying: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Indeed, the gates of Paradise are beneath the shades of the swords." On hearing this, a man of shabby appearance stood up from the gathering and asked: "O Abu Musa, did you really hear the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say this yourself?" He replied: "Yes." So the man went back to his companions and said: "I greet you with peace (in farewell)." Then he broke the scabbard of his sword and threw it away, walked towards the enemy with his sword, and fought (bravely) until he was martyred.
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : « عُودُوا الْمَرِيضَ ، وَأَطْعِمُوا الْجَائِعَ ، وَفُكُّوا الْعَانِيَ » ، يَعْنِي : الْأَسِيرَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Visit the sick, feed the hungry and free the 'ani (from captivity)." The word "al-'ani" here means a captive.
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ أَبِي غَلَّابٍ ، عَنْ حِطَّانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « إِذَا كَبَّرَ - يَعْنِي : الْإِمَامَ - فَكَبِّرُوا ، وَإِذَا قَرَأَ فَأَنْصِتُوا » .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "An orphan girl is to be asked for her consent (in the matter of her marriage). If she remains silent, that is her permission; and if she refuses, she is not to be forced."
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَامِرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مِثْلَهُ .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) "spoke of a trial (fitnah) in which the one sleeping will be better than the one sitting, the one sitting in it will be better than the one standing, and the one standing in it will be better than the one running about," or as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said it (in words close to this).
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْهَرَوِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا مُوسَى ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : « أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ تَحْتَ ظِلَالِ السُّيُوفِ » .
قَالَ : فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ رَثُّ الْهَيْئَةِ : يَا أَبَا مُوسَى ، أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ . قَالَ : فَجَاءَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ ، فَقَالَ : أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّلَامَ ، ثُمَّ كَسَرَ جَفْنَ سَيْفِهِ ، ثُمَّ رَمَى بِهِ إِلَى الْعَدُوِّ ، فَضَرَبَ بِهِ حَتَّى قُتِلَ .
قَالَ : فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ رَثُّ الْهَيْئَةِ : يَا أَبَا مُوسَى ، أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ . قَالَ : فَجَاءَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ ، فَقَالَ : أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّلَامَ ، ثُمَّ كَسَرَ جَفْنَ سَيْفِهِ ، ثُمَّ رَمَى بِهِ إِلَى الْعَدُوِّ ، فَضَرَبَ بِهِ حَتَّى قُتِلَ .
Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The gates of Paradise are beneath the shades of the swords." (On hearing this) a man of dishevelled appearance asked: O Abu Musa, did you really hear this from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) yourself? He replied: Yes. So the man came to his companions and said: "I greet you with peace (that is, I take my leave)." Then he broke the scabbard of his sword and threw it away, set out towards the enemy and struck with his sword (fearlessly) until he was martyred.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are two gardens whose vessels and everything in them are of silver, and two gardens whose vessels and everything in them are of gold. And in the Garden of Eden nothing will stand between the people and their seeing their Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, except the cloak of grandeur upon His Holy Self."
وَعَنْ أَبِيهِ : أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ خَيْمَةً مِنْ لُؤْلُؤَةٍ مُجَوَّفَةٍ ، عَرْضُهَا سِتُّونَ مِيلًا ، فِي كُلِّ زَاوِيَةٍ مِنْهَا أَهْلٌ لَا يَرَاهُمُ الْآخَرُونَ ، يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمُؤْمِنُ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, in Paradise there will be a tent made of a single hollow pearl, sixty miles wide. In each of its corners will be the family of the dweller of Paradise, whom the others (in the other corners) will not see, and the believer will go around to them."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him): "The day of Ashura was a day on which the Jews fasted and which they honoured and revered.
