Hadith 21443

حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ ذَكْوَانَ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَيُّوبُ بْنُ بُشَيْرٍ ، عَنْ فُلَانٍ الْعَنَزِيِّ ، وَلَمْ يَقُلْ الْغُبَرِيّ ، أَنَّهُ أَقْبَلَ مَعَ أَبِي ذَرٍّ ، فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ تَقَطَّعَ النَّاسُ عَنْهُ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ ، إِنِّي سَائِلُكَ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَمْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ : إِنْ كَانَ سِرًّا مِنْ سِرِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ أُحَدِّثْكَ بِهِ ، قُلْتُ : لَيْسَ بِسِرٍّ ، وَلَكِنْ " كَانَ إِذَا لَقِيَ الرَّجُلَ يَأْخُذُ بِيَدِهِ يُصَافِحُهُ ؟ " قَالَ : عَلَى الْخَبِيرِ سَقَطْتَ ، لَمْ يَلْقَنِي قَطُّ إِلَّا أَخَذَ بِيَدِي غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ ، وَكَانَتْ تِلْكَ آخِرَهُنَّ ، أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي تُوُفِّيَ فِيهِ ، فَوَجَدْتُهُ مُضْطَجِعًا فَأَكْبَبْتُ عَلَيْهِ ، فَرَفَعَ يَدَهُ فَالْتَزَمَنِي صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
Fulan Anzi says that he was returning from somewhere with Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him). On the way, at one place, people dispersed, so I said to him, "O Abu Dharr! I want to ask you something regarding the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)." He replied, "If it is a secret matter, I will not tell you." I said, "It is not a secret matter. If a person met the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), would the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) take his hand and shake hands with him?" He replied, "You have asked an informed person. Whenever I met the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), he would take my hand and shake hands with me, except for one time, and that was the very last incident. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a messenger to call me. I presented myself before the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and he was in his final illness. I saw the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) lying down, so I leaned over him. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his hand and embraced me to his chest. Peace and blessings be upon him.
