Hadith 12697

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ قَالَ : كُنَّا جُلُوسًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " يَطْلُعُ عَلَيْكُمْ الْآنَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ " فَطَلَعَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ، تَنْطِفُ لِحْيَتُهُ مِنْ وُضُوئِهِ ، قَدْ تَعَلَّقَ نَعْلَيْهِ فِي يَدِهِ الشِّمَالِ ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْغَدُ ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ، فَطَلَعَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ مِثْلَ الْمَرَّةِ الْأُولَى ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْيَوْمُ الثَّالِثُ ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلَ مَقَالَتِهِ أَيْضًا ، فَطَلَعَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى مِثْلِ حَالِهِ الْأُولَى ، فَلَمَّا قَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، تَبِعَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ ، فَقَالَ : إِنِّي لَاحَيْتُ أَبِي ، فَأَقْسَمْتُ أَنْ لَا أَدْخُلَ عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ، فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنْ تُؤْوِيَنِي إِلَيْكَ حَتَّى تَمْضِيَ ، فَعَلْتَ ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : أَنَسٌ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّهُ بَاتَ مَعَهُ تِلْكَ اللَّيَالِي الثَّلَاثَ ، فَلَمْ يَرَهُ يَقُومُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ شَيْئًا ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ إِذَا تَعَارَّ وَتَقَلَّبَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، وَكَبَّرَ ، حَتَّى يَقُومَ لِصَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ غَيْرَ أَنِّي لَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ يَقُولُ إِلَّا خَيْرًا ، فَلَمَّا مَضَتْ الثَّلَاثُ لَيَالٍ ، وَكِدْتُ أَنْ أَحْتَقِرَ عَمَلَهُ ، قُلْتُ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ أَبِي غَضَبٌ وَلَا هَجْرٌ ثَمَّ ، وَلَكِنْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَكَ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ " يَطْلُعُ عَلَيْكُمْ الْآنَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ " فَطَلَعْتَ أَنْتَ الثَّلَاثَ مِرَارٍ ، فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ آوِيَ إِلَيْكَ ، لِأَنْظُرَ مَا عَمَلُكَ فَأَقْتَدِيَ بِهِ ، فَلَمْ أَرَكَ تَعْمَلُ كَثِيرَ عَمَلٍ ، فَمَا الَّذِي بَلَغَ بِكَ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ فَقَالَ : مَا هُوَ إِلَّا مَا رَأَيْتَ ، قَالَ : فَلَمَّا وَلَّيْتُ دَعَانِي ، فَقَالَ : مَا هُوَ إِلَّا مَا رَأَيْتَ ، غَيْرَ أَنِّي لَا أَجِدُ فِي نَفْسِي لِأَحَدٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ غِشًّا ، وَلَا أَحْسُدُ أَحَدًا عَلَى خَيْرٍ أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ إِيَّاهُ ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ هَذِهِ الَّتِي بَلَغَتْ بِكَ ، وَهِيَ الَّتِي لَا نُطِيقُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Soon, a man from among the people of Paradise will come to you." We saw that an Ansari companion was coming, and drops of water from ablution were dripping from his beard, and he was holding his shoes in his left hand. The next day, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made the same announcement, and the same companion came. On the third day, the announcement was made again, and again the same companion (may Allah be pleased with him) came. On the third day, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) left, Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) followed that companion and said to him, "I have, after making my father swear oaths and insisting a lot, convinced him to let me not go home for three days. If you can let me stay with you, I will do whatever deeds you do." He allowed Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) to stay. Hazrat Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that he stayed with him for three nights, but did not see him standing (in prayer) at night. However, whenever he woke up from sleep and got up from his bed, he would remember Allah and get up for the Fajr prayer. Also, I always saw him speaking good things. When three nights had passed and I began to consider all my efforts insignificant, I said to him, "Servant of Allah! There is no anger or break in relations between me and my father (because of which I have stayed here), but I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say three times that soon a man from among the people of Paradise will come, and each time it was you who came. So I wished to spend some time with you and observe your deeds and follow them myself, but I did not see you doing many (extra) deeds during this time. So how did you reach the status that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said such a great thing about you?" He replied, "The deeds are only what you have seen." Then, when I turned to go back, he called me and said, "The deeds are only what you have seen, but I do not hold any malice in my heart towards any Muslim, nor do I envy anyone for the blessings and goodness that Allah has given them." Hazrat Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "This is the thing that has brought you to this rank, and which we do not have the strength to do."
