(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَلَامٍ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَقْدَمَهُ الْمَدِينَةَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي سَائِلُكَ عَنْ ثَلَاثِ خِصَالٍ لَا يَعْلَمُهُنَّ إِلَّا نَبِيٌّ ؟ ، قَالَ : سَلْ ، قَالَ : مَا أَوَّلُ أَشْرَاطِ السَّاعَةِ ؟ وَمَا أَوَّلُ مَا يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ ؟ وَمِنْ أَيْنَ يُشْبِهُ الْوَلَدُ أَبَاهُ وَأُمَّهُ ؟ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَخْبَرَنِي بِهِنَّ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام آنِفًا ، قَالَ : ذَلِكَ عَدُوُّ الْيَهُودِ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ ، قَالَ : أَمَّا أَوَّلُ أَشْرَاطِ السَّاعَةِ فَنَارٌ تَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ ، فَتَحْشُرُ النَّاسَ إِلَى الْمَغْرِبِ ، وَأَمَّا أَوَّلُ مَا يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ ، زِيَادَةُ كَبِدِ حُوتٍ ، وَأَمَّا شَبَهُ الْوَلَدِ أَبَاهُ وَأُمَّهُ ، فَإِذَا سَبَقَ مَاءُ الرَّجُلِ مَاءَ الْمَرْأَةِ نَزَعَ إِلَيْهِ الْوَلَدُ ، وَإِذَا سَبَقَ مَاءُ الْمَرْأَةِ مَاءَ الرَّجُلِ نَزَعَ إِلَيْهَا ، قَالَ : أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، وَأَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ، وَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ الْيَهُودَ قَوْمٌ بُهْتٌ ، وَإِنَّهُمْ إِنْ يَعْلَمُوا بِإِسْلَامِي يَبْهَتُونِي عِنْدَكَ ، فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَيْهِمْ ، فَاسْأَلْهُمْ عَنِّي أَيُّ رَجُلٍ ابْنُ سَلَامٍ فِيكُمْ ؟ ، قَالَ : فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ ، فَقَالَ : أَيُّ رَجُلٍ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ فِيكُمْ ؟ ، قَالُوا : خَيْرُنَا ، وَابْنُ خَيْرِنَا ، وَعَالِمُنَا ، وَابْنُ عَالِمِنَا ، وَأَفْقَهُنَا ، وَابْنُ أَفْقَهِنَا ، قَالَ : أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَسْلَمَ تُسْلِمُونَ ؟ ، قَالُوا : أَعَاذَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ، قَالَ : فَخَرَجَ ابْنُ سَلَامٍ ، فَقَالَ : أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ، قَالُوا : شَرُّنَا ، وَابْنُ شَرِّنَا ، وَجَاهِلُنَا ، وَابْنُ جَاهِلِنَا ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ سَلَامٍ : هَذَا الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَتَخَوَّفُ مِنْهمُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that after the arrival of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Madinah Munawwarah, Hazrat Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the presence of the Messenger and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I will ask you three things which no one knows except a Prophet." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Ask." He said, "What is the very first sign of the Day of Judgment? What will be the very first food of the people of Paradise? And how does a child resemble its parents?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Just now, Jibreel Amin (peace be upon him) has informed me of their answers." Abdullah said, "He is the enemy of the Jews among the angels." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "The very first sign of the Day of Judgment will be a fire that will emerge from the East and gather all the people in the West. The very first food of the people of Paradise will be the liver of fish. As for the resemblance of a child to its parents, if the man's 'fluid' prevails over the woman's fluid, the child is drawn towards him, and if the woman's fluid prevails over the man's, the child is drawn towards her." Upon hearing this, Abdullah said, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and you are the Messenger of Allah." Then he said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! The Jews are a people who fabricate slanders. If they find out about my acceptance of Islam, they will accuse me of all sorts of things in your presence. Therefore, send for them and ask them about me: 'What kind of man is Ibn Salam among you?'" Accordingly, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent for them and asked, "What kind of man is Abdullah bin Salam among you?" They replied, "He is the best among us and the son of the best, our scholar and the son of a scholar, the greatest jurist among us and the son of the greatest jurist." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Tell me, if he accepts Islam, will you also accept Islam?" They said, "May Allah protect him from that." At this, Hazrat Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) came out and recited the testimony of faith in front of them. Upon hearing this, they said, "He is the worst among us and the son of the worst, the most ignorant among us and the son of the most ignorant." Hazrat Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "This is what I was afraid of."
