حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَلَفٍ مُوسَى بْنُ خَلَفٍ كَانَ يُعَدُّ مِنَ الْبُدَلَاءِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ سَلَّامٍ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ مَمْطُورٍ ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ ، أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَمَرَ يَحْيَى بْنَ زَكَرِيَّا بِخَمْسِ كَلِمَاتٍ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ بِهِنَّ وَأَنْ يَأْمُرَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوا بِهِنَّ ، فَكَادَ أَنْ يُبْطِئَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : عِيسَى إِنَّكَ قَدْ أُمِرْتَ بِخَمْسِ كَلِمَاتٍ ، أَنْ تَعْمَلَ بِهِنَّ ، وَأَنْ تَأْمُرَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوا بِهِنَّ ، فَإِمَّا أَنْ تُبَلِّغَهُنَّ وَإِمَّا أُبَلِّغَهُنَّ . فَقَالَ لَهُ : يَا أَخِي ، إِنِّي أَخْشَى إِنْ سَبَقْتَنِي أَنْ أُعَذَّبَ ، أَوْ يُخْسَفَ بِي . قَالَ : فَجَمَعَ يَحْيَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ حَتَّى امْتَلَأَ الْمَسْجِدُ ، وَقُعِدَ عَلَى الشُّرَفِ ، فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَمَرَنِي بِخَمْسِ كَلِمَاتٍ ، أَنْ أَعْمَلَ بِهِنَّ وَآمُرَكُمْ أَنْ تَعْمَلُوا بِهِنَّ أَوَّلُهُنَّ : أَنْ تَعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا ، فَإِنَّ مَثَلَ ذَلِكَ مَثَلُ رَجُلٍ اشْتَرَى عَبْدًا مِنْ خَالِصِ مَالِهِ بِوَرِقٍ أَوْ ذَهَبٍ ، فَجَعَلَ يَعْمَلُ وَيُؤَدِّي عَمَلَهُ إِلَى غَيْرِ سَيِّدِهِ ، فَأَيُّكُمْ يَسُرُّهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَبْدُهُ كَذَلِكَ ، وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ خَلَقَكُمْ وَرَزَقَكُمْ ، فَاعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا . وَآمُرَكُمْ بِالصَّلَاةِ ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَنْصِبُ وَجْهَهُ لِوَجْهِ عَبْدِهِ مَا لَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ ، فَإِذَا صَلَّيْتُمْ فَلَا تَلْتَفِتُوا . وَآمُرَكُمْ بِالصِّيَامِ ، فَإِنَّ مَثَلَ ذَلِكَ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ مَعَهُ صُرَّةٌ مِنْ مِسْكٍ فِي عِصَابَةٍ ، كُلُّهُمْ يَجِدُ رِيحَ الْمِسْكِ ، وَإِنَّ خُلُوفَ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ . وَآمُرَكُمْ بِالصَّدَقَةِ ، فَإِنَّ مَثَلَ ذَلِكَ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ أَسَرَهُ الْعَدُوُّ فَشَدُّوا يَدَيْهِ إِلَى عُنُقِهِ ، وَقَرَّبُوهُ لِيَضْرِبُوا عُنُقَهُ ، فَقَالَ : هَلْ لَكُمْ أَنْ أَفْتَدِيَ نَفْسِي مِنْكُمْ . فَجَعَلَ يَفْتَدِي نَفْسَهُ مِنْهُمْ بِالْقَلِيلِ وَالْكَثِيرِ حَتَّى فَكَّ نَفْسَهُ . وَآمُرَكُمْ بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ كَثِيرًا ، وَإِنَّ مَثَلَ ذَلِكَ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ طَلَبَهُ الْعَدُوُّ سِرَاعًا فِي أَثَرِهِ , فَأَتَى حِصْنًا حَصِينًا ، فَتَحَصَّنَ فِيهِ ، وَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ أَحْصَنَ مَا يَكُونُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ إِذَا كَانَ فِي ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ " . قَالَ : وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَنَا آمُرُكُمْ بِخَمْسٍ اللَّهُ أَمَرَنِي بِهِنَّ : بِالْجَمَاعَةِ ، وَبِالسَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ ، وَالْهِجْرَةِ ، وَالْجِهَادِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ، فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنَ الْجَمَاعَةِ قِيدَ شِبْرٍ فَقَدْ خَلَعَ رِبْقَ الْإِسْلَامِ مِنْ عُنُقِهِ إِلَى أَنْ يَرْجِعَ ، وَمَنْ دَعَا بِدَعْوَى الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَهُوَ مِنْ جُثَا جَهَنَّمَ " ، قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَإِنْ صَامَ وَصَلَّى ؟ قَالَ : " وَإِنْ صَامَ وَصَلَّى وَزَعَمَ أَنَّهُ مُسْلِمٌ ، فَادْعُوا الْمُسْلِمِينَ بِمَا سَمَّاهُمْ الله الْمُسْلِمِينَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Harith Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty commanded Hazrat Yahya bin Zakariya (peace be upon them) regarding five things: that he should act upon them himself and also command the Children of Israel to act upon them. It was near that Hazrat Yahya (peace be upon him) would delay in this matter, so Hazrat Isa (peace be upon him) said: You have been commanded regarding five things that you should act upon them yourself and also command the Children of Israel to act upon them. Now, either you deliver this message yourself, otherwise I will deliver it. Hazrat Yahya (peace be upon him) said: Brother! I fear that if you precede me in this, I will be afflicted with punishment or I will be swallowed up by the earth. Thus, after this, Hazrat Yahya (peace be upon him) gathered the Children of Israel in Bayt al-Maqdis. When the mosque was filled, he sat on a mound, praised and glorified Allah, and said: Allah Almighty has commanded me regarding five things that I should act upon them myself and also command you to act upon them. The first of these is that you worship only Allah and do not associate anything with Him. Its example is like a person who buys a slave with his pure wealth, i.e., gold and silver, and that slave starts working for someone other than his master and gives his wages to him. So, which one of you would like his slave to do such a thing? And I command you to pray, because Allah Almighty turns all His attention to His servant as long as he does not look here and there. Therefore, when you pray, do not look to the right or left. And I command you to fast, because its example is like a person who comes to a gathering with a bottle of musk, and everyone senses its fragrance, and the smell from the mouth of a fasting person is more excellent to Allah than the fragrance of musk. And I command you to give charity, because its example is like a person whom the enemy has captured, tied his hands to his neck, and then takes him to kill him. He says to them: Are you willing to accept a ransom for my life? Then he starts offering whatever he can, little or much, as ransom for his life until he frees himself. And I command you to remember Allah abundantly, because its example is like a person whom the enemy is pursuing swiftly, and he takes refuge in a strong fortress. In this way, as long as a servant remains engaged in the remembrance of Allah, he is in a strong fortress, safe from the attacks of Satan.
After this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I also command you regarding five things which Allah has commanded me to adopt: (1) Collectiveness (2) Listening to the ruler (3) Obeying (4) Migration (5) And striving in the way of Allah, because whoever separates from the Muslim community even a handspan, he throws off the collar of Islam from his neck, unless he returns to the community. And whoever calls out with the slogans of the time of ignorance, he is the fuel of Hell. The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked: O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings be upon him) Even if he prays and fasts? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Even if he prays and fasts and considers himself a Muslim. So, call the Muslims by those names with which Allah has called His Muslim servants.
