(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا
حُمَيْدٌ ، عَنْ
أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : " جَاءَ أَبُو مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيُّ يَسْتَحْمِلُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَوَافَقَ مِنْهُ شُغْلًا ، فَقَالَ : وَاللَّهِ لَا أَحْمِلُكَ ، فَلَمَّا قَفَّى دَعَاهُ ، قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَدْ حَلَفْتَ أَنْ لَا تَحْمِلَنِي ! قَالَ : وَأَنَا أَحْلِفُ لَأَحْمِلَنَّكَ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Hazrat Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for an animal to ride. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was occupied with some work at that time, so he said, "By Allah! I will not give you any ride." But when he turned to leave, he was called back and a ride was granted to him. He said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! You had sworn that you would not give me a ride?" The Prophet replied, "Now I swear that I will surely give you a ride."
