(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
إِسْرَائِيلُ ، عَنْ
إِبْرَاهِيمَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُهَاجِرٍ ، عَنْ
مُجَاهِدٍ ، عَنِ
السَّائِبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ , قَال : جِيءَ بِي إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ ، جَاءَ بِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ وَزُهَيْرٌ ، فَجَعَلُوا يَثْنُونَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا تُعْلِمُونِي بِهِ ، قَدْ كَانَ صَاحِبِي فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ " قَالَ : قَالَ : نَعَمْ , يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَنِعْمَ الصَّاحِبُ كُنْتَ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ : " يَا سَائِبُ ، انْظُرْ أَخْلَاقَكَ الَّتِي كُنْتَ تَصْنَعُهَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ، فَاجْعَلْهَا فِي الْإِسْلَامِ ، أَقْرِ الضَّيْفَ ، وَأَكْرِمْ الْيَتِيمَ ، وَأَحْسِنْ إِلَى جَارِكَ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’ib bin Abdullah that on the day of the conquest of Makkah, I was presented before the Prophet (peace be upon him). Those who brought me were Sayyiduna Uthman and Zuhair. They began to praise me. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Do not tell me about their attachments; they have been my companions in the time of ignorance. I said: O Messenger of Allah! And you were the best companion. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Sa’ib, see that the morals you used to observe in the time of ignorance, maintain them also in the state of Islam: hospitality, honoring the orphan, and treating the neighbor well.
