حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي الرَّبِيعِ السَّمَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَنْبَسَةُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ مَوْلَى أُمَيَّةَ ، عَنْ جَنَاحٍ مَوْلَى الْوَلِيدِ ، عَنْ وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « خَيْرُ شَبَابِكُمْ مَنْ تَشَبَّهَ بِكُهُولِكُمْ ، وَشَرُّ كُهُولِكُمْ مَنْ تَشَبَّهَ بِشَبَابِكُمْ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Wathilah bin al-Asqa' (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The best of your young people is the one who resembles your mature people (in dignity and seriousness), and the worst of your older people is the one who resembles your young people (in amusement, play and heedlessness)."
حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْلَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْغَرِيفُ بْنُ عَيَّاشِ بْنِ فَيْرُوزَ الدَّيْلَمِيُّ ، عَنْ وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ قَالَ : إِنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ أَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالُوا : إِنَّ صَاحِبًا لَنَا قَدْ أَوْجَبَ قَالَ : فَلْيُعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً ، يَفُكُّ اللهُ بِكُلِّ عُضْوٍ مِنْهَا عُضْوًا مِنْهُ مِنَ النَّارِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Wathilah bin al-Asqa' (may Allah be pleased with him) that some people of the tribe of Banu Sulaym came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: A companion of ours has made (Hell) obligatory (upon himself by committing a grave sin). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He should free a slave; Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, will free each limb of that person from the Fire in return for each limb of the slave."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَهْمٍ الْأَنْطَاكِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ ، عَنْ وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : « إِنَّ اللهَ اصْطَفَى كِنَانَةَ مِنْ وَلَدِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، وَاصْطَفَى مِنْ كِنَانَةَ قُرَيْشًا ، وَاصْطَفَى مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ ، وَاصْطَفَانِي مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Wathilah bin al-Asqa' (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty chose Kinanah from among the descendants of Sayyiduna Isma'il (peace be upon him), and He chose Quraysh from Kinanah, and He selected Banu Hashim from Quraysh, and He chose me from Banu Hashim."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Wathilah bin al-Asqa' (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) seated Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) on his right, Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) on his left, and Sayyiduna Hasan and Sayyiduna Husayn (may Allah be pleased with them both) in front of him. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) covered them all with a sheet and supplicated: 'Allahumma ha'ula'i ahlu bayti, wa ahlu bayti ataw ilayka la ila al-nar' (O Allah, these are my household, and my household have come to You (for refuge), not to the Fire).
حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ أَبِي مُزَاحِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ ، عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ ، عَنْ وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : إِنَّ اللهَ اصْطَفَى بَنِي كِنَانَةَ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، وَاصْطَفَى مِنْ بَنِي كِنَانَةَ قُرَيْشًا ، وَاصْطَفَى مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ ، وَاصْطَفَانِي مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ .

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عِيسَى التُّسْتَرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ، عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي رَبِيعَةُ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ وَاثِلَةَ بْنَ الْأَسْقَعِ قَالَ : خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : تَزْعُمُونَ أَنِّي مِنْ آخِرِكُمْ وَفَاةً ، أَلَا وَإِنِّي مِنْ أَوَّلِكُمْ وَفَاةً ، وَتَتْبَعُونِي أَفْنَادًا يُهْلِكُ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا .
Rabi'ah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that he heard Sayyiduna Wathilah bin al-Asqa' (may Allah be pleased with him) say: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out to us and said: "You think that I will be the last of you to die. Be aware that I will be the first of you to die, and you will follow after me in different groups and factions, destroying one another."
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَحْيَى الْكُوفِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الشَّامِيِّ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، عَنْ وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ، قَالَ: «عُدَّ الْآيَ فِي التَّطَوُّعِ، وَلَا تَعُدَّهُ مِنَ الْفَرِيضَةِ»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Wathilah bin al-Asqa' (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Count the verses of the Qur'an in voluntary prayer, and do not count them in obligatory prayer."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي سَمِينَةَ الْبَصْرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ ، عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ ، عَنْ وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ قَالَ : خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : تَزْعُمُونَ أَنِّي مِنْ آخِرِكُمْ وَفَاةً ، أَلَا وَإِنِّي مِنْ أَوَّلِكُمْ وَفَاةً ، وَلَتَتْبَعُنِّي أَفْنَادًا يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Wathilah bin al-Asqa' (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out to us and said: "You think that I will be the last of you to die, compared with the rest of you. Beware! I will certainly be the first of you to die, and you will follow after me in scattered groups and factions, in a state where you will be striking one another's necks (having fallen into mutual strife)."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هَمَّامٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْقُرَشِيِّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَنْبَسَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقُرَشِيُّ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، عَنْ وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: «سِحَاقُ النِّسَاءِ بَيْنَهُنَّ زِنًى»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Wathilah bin al-Asqa' (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Women engaging in sexual relations with one another (sihaq) is equivalent to zina (fornication) between them."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَشْعَثِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْمِقْدَامِ الْعِجْلِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ ثَعْلَبَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ الْهُذَلِيِّ ، عَنْ وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ قَالَ : تَدَانَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِمَسْجِدِ الْخَيْفِ فَقَالَ لِي أَصْحَابُهُ : إِلَيْكَ يَا وَاثِلَةُ ، أَيْ تَنَحَّ عَنْ وَجْهِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : « دَعُوهُ إِنَّمَا جَاءَ يَسْأَلُ » . قَالَ : فَدَنَوْتُ ، فَقُلْتُ : بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ! لِتُفْتِنَا عَنْ أَمْرٍ نَأْخُذُهُ عَنْكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ . قَالَ : لِتُفْتِكَ نَفْسُكَ . قَالَ : قُلْتُ : وَكَيْفَ لِي بِذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ : دَعْ مَا يَرِيبُكَ إِلَى مَا لَا يَرِيبُكَ ، وَإِنْ أَفْتَاكَ الْمُفْتُونَ ، قُلْتُ : وَكَيْفَ لِي بِعِلْمِ ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ : تَضَعُ يَدَكَ عَلَى فُؤَادِكَ ، فَإِنَّ الْقَلْبَ يَسْكُنُ لِلْحَلَالِ ، وَلَا يَسْكُنُ لِلْحَرَامِ ، وَإِنَّ الْوَرِعَ الْمُسْلِمَ يَدَعُ الصَّغِيرَ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَقَعَ فِي الْكَبِيرِ ، قُلْتُ : بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي ، مَا الْعَصَبِيَّةُ ؟ قَالَ : الَّذِي يُعِينُ قَوْمَهُ عَلَى الظُّلْمِ ، قُلْتُ : فَمَنِ الْحَرِيصُ ؟ قَالَ : الَّذِي يَطْلُبُ الْمَكْسَبَةَ مِنْ غَيْرِ حِلِّهَا ، قُلْتُ : فَمَنِ الْوَرِعُ ؟ قَالَ : الَّذِي يَقِفُ عِنْدَ الشُّبْهَةِ .
قُلْتُ : فَمَنِ الْمُؤْمِنُ ؟ قَالَ : مَنْ أَمِنَهُ النَّاسُ عَلَى أَمْوَالِهِمْ وَدِمَائِهِمْ . قُلْتُ : فَمَنِ الْمُسْلِمُ ؟ قَالَ : مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ ، قُلْتُ : فَأَيُّ الْجِهَادِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ : كَلِمَةُ حُكْمٍ عِنْدَ إِمَامٍ جَائِرٍ .

Sayyiduna Wathilah bin al-Asqa' (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: In the Mosque of al-Khayf I drew near to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and his (peace and blessings be upon him) Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said to me: "O Wathilah, step back," meaning, move away from in front of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). But the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Leave him; he has only come to ask something." Sayyiduna Wathilah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: So I came closer and said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), may my father and mother be sacrificed for you! Tell us about something that we may adopt (as a guiding light) after you." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Your own self will give you a fatwa." I said: "How is that possible for me?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Leave what makes you doubt for what does not make you doubt, even if those who give fatwas keep giving you fatwas." I said: "How will I know that?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Place your hand on your heart, for the heart finds rest in what is lawful and finds no rest in what is unlawful. And indeed the God-fearing Muslim leaves a small sin out of fear of falling into a major one." I said: "May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, what is partisanship ('asabiyyah)?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That a person helps his people in wrongdoing." I said: "Then who is the greedy one?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who seeks earnings through unlawful means." I said: "Then who is the God-fearing one?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who stops (when he comes) at something doubtful." I said: "Then who is the believer?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one from whom people feel safe concerning their wealth and their lives." I said: "Then who is the Muslim?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one from whose tongue and hand the (other) Muslims are safe." I said: "Then which jihad is the most excellent?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Speaking a word of justice and fairness before a tyrannical ruler."
