(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
يَحْيَى بْنُ غَيْلَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
رِشْدِينُ ، عَنْ
زَبَّانَ ، عَنْ
سَهْلٍ , عَنْ
أَبِيهِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , أَنَّ امْرَأَةً أَتَتْهُ ، فَقَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، انْطَلَقَ زَوْجِي غَازِيًا ، وَكُنْتُ أَقْتَدِي بِصَلَاتِهِ إِذَا صَلَّى ، وَبِفِعْلِهِ كُلِّهِ ، فَأَخْبِرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ يُبْلِغُنِي عَمَلَهُ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ ، فَقَالَ لَهَا : " أَتَسْتَطِيعِينَ أَنْ تَقُومِي وَلَا تَقْعُدِي ، وَتَصُومِي وَلَا تُفْطِرِي ، وَتَذْكُرِي اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى وَلَا تَفْتُرِي ، حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ ؟ " , قَالَتْ : مَا أُطِيقُ هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , فَقَالَ : " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ , لَوْ طُوِّقْتِيهِ مَا بَلَغْتِ الْعُشْرَ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh that a woman came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! My husband has gone to participate in jihad. I used to follow him in prayer and every other deed. Now, please tell me of an act that will make me reach his rank, because I cannot participate in jihad until he returns." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Is it possible for you to always remain standing in prayer, never sitting down, to always fast, never missing a day, and to always remember Allah, never being heedless, until he returns?" She replied, "O Messenger of Allah! This is not possible for me." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "By Him in Whose hand is my soul, even if you had the strength to do all this, you would still not reach even a tenth of his deeds until he returns."
