(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو الْيَمَانِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا
إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ ، عَنْ
مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ
مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَطَاءٍ ، عَنْ
نُعَيْمٍ بن مُجْمِرِ ، عَنْ
رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ كَعْبٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " سَلْنِي أُعْطِكَ " ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَنْظِرْنِي أَنْظُرْ فِي أَمْرِي ، قَالَ : " فَانْظُرْ فِي أَمْرِكَ " ، قَالَ : فَنَظَرْتُ ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنَّ أَمْرَ الدُّنْيَا يَنْقَطِعُ ، فَلَا أَرَى شَيْئًا خَيْرًا مِنْ شَيْءٍ آخُذُهُ لِنَفْسِي لِآخِرَتِي ، فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " مَا حَاجَتُكَ " ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، اشْفَعْ لِي إِلَى رَبِّكَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، فَلْيُعْتِقْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ ، فَقَالَ : " مَنْ أَمَرَكَ بِهَذَا ؟ " ، فَقُلْتُ : لَا وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، مَا أَمَرَنِي بِهِ أَحَدٌ ، وَلَكِنِّي نَظَرْتُ فِي أَمْرِي ، فَرَأَيْتُ أَنَّ الدُّنْيَا زَائِلَةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا ، فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ آخُذَ لِآخِرَتِي ، قَالَ : " فَأَعِنِّي عَلَى نَفْسِكَ بِكَثْرَةِ السُّجُودِ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Rabi’ah bin Ka’b (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: Ask, I will grant you. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Give me some time to think. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You may think it over. I thought that the life of this world will pass away anyway, so I did not find anything better for myself than the Hereafter. Thus, I presented myself before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: What is your need? I said: O Messenger of Allah! Please intercede with your Lord for me so that He grants me a certificate of freedom from Hell. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Who told you this? I said: O Messenger of Allah! By Allah, no one explained this to me, but I myself reflected on my situation that the world is even taken away from the people of the world, so I thought to make a request for the Hereafter. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then help me by increasing your prostrations.
