Hadith 12648

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ كَانَ اسْمُهُ زَاهِرًا ، وكَانَ يُهْدِي رسول الله صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْهَدِيَّةَ مِنَ الْبَادِيَةِ ، فَيُجَهِّزُهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ زَاهِرًا بَادِيَتُنَا ، وَنَحْنُ حَاضِرُوهُ " وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُحِبُّهُ ، وَكَانَ رَجُلًا دَمِيمًا ، فَأَتَاهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا وَهُوَ يَبِيعُ مَتَاعَهُ ، فَاحْتَضَنَهُ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ ، وَهُوَ لَا يُبْصِرُهُ الرجلُ ، فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَرْسِلْنِي ، مَنْ هَذَا ؟ فَالْتَفَتَ ، فَعَرَفَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَجَعَلَ لَا يَأْلُو مَا أَلْصَقَ ظَهْرَهُ بِصَدْرِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ عَرَفَهُ ، وَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " مَنْ يَشْتَرِي الْعَبْدَ ؟ " فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِذًا وَاللَّهِ تَجِدُنِي كَاسِدًا ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَكِنْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ لَسْتَ بِكَاسِدٍ " أَوْ قَالَ " لَكِنْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَنْتَ غَالٍ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Bedouin, whose name was Zahir, used to bring some gift for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) whenever he came from the village, and when he was about to return, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would give him many things and send him off. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say, "Zahir is our village and we are his city." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) loved him, even though in terms of appearance he was not attractive. One day, Zahir was standing by his goods, selling them, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came from behind and embraced him, placing his hands over his eyes. He began to say, "Who is it? Let me go." Then he realized and recognized the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he began to press his back closer to the chest of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) started calling out, "Who will buy this slave?" He said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! You will find me to be a worthless coin." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "But you are not worthless in the sight of Allah; rather, you have great value."
