(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا
مُبَارَكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
الْحَسَنُ ، أَخْبَرَنِي
أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَيْتِهِ ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، مَتَى السَّاعَةُ ؟ قَالَ : أَمَا إِنَّهَا قَائِمَةٌ ، فَمَا أَعْدَدْتَ لَهَا ؟ قَالَ : وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لَهَا مِنْ كَثِيرِ عَمَلٍ ، غَيْرَ أَنِّي أُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ، قَالَ : " فَإِنَّكَ مَعَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ ، وَلَكَ مَا احْتَسَبْتَ " ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ ، قَالَ : أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ ؟ فَأُتِيَ بِالرَّجُلِ ، فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ ، فَإِذَا غُلَامٌ مِنْ دَوْسٍ مِنْ رَهْطِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، يُقَالُ لَهُ : سَعْدُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : هَذَا الْغُلَامُ إِنْ طَالَ بِهِ عُمُرٌ ، لَمْ يَبْلُغْ بِهِ الْهَرَمُ حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ " ، قَالَ الْحَسَنُ : وَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَسٌ : أَنَّ الْغُلَامَ كَانَ يَوْمَئِذٍ مِنْ أَقْرَانِي .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in his house, when a man asked this question: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! When will the Hour (Day of Judgment) be established?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "What preparation have you made for the Hour?" He replied, "I have not prepared many good deeds, but I do love Allah and His Messenger." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "You will be with those whom you love, and you will get what you have earned." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stood up and started praying. After finishing the prayer, he said, "Where is the person who asked about the Hour?" So that man was brought. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) looked around the room and saw a boy from the tribe of Daws, the tribe of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), whose name was Sa'd bin Malik. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "If this boy lives a long life, it is possible that he will not reach old age before the Hour is established." Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the boy was of my age.
