أَبُو عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيُّ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ ، عَنْ
أَبِي ذَرٍّ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ خَلْفَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ خَرَجْنَا مِنْ حَاشِي الْمَدِينَةِ ، فَقَالَ : " يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ ،
صَلِّ الصَّلَاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا ، وَإِنْ جِئْتَ وَقَدْ صَلَّى الْإِمَامُ كُنْتَ قَدْ أَحْرَزْتَ صَلَاتَكَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ ، وَإِنْ جِئْتَ وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ صَلَّيْتَ مَعَهُ ، وَكَانَتْ صَلَاتُكَ لَكَ نَافِلَةً ، وَكُنْتَ قَدْ أَحْرَزْتَ صَلَاتَكَ ، يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ ، أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ النَّاسُ جَاعُوا حَتَّى لَا تَبْلُغَ مَسْجِدَكَ مِنَ الْجَهْدِ ، أَوْ لَا تَرْجِعَ إِلَى فِرَاشِكَ مِنَ الْجَهْدِ ، فَكَيْفَ أَنْتَ صَانِعٌ ؟ " ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ! قَالَ : " تَصَبَّرْ " ، قَالَ : " يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ ، أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ النَّاسُ مَاتُوا حَتَّى يَكُونَ الْبَيْتُ بِالْعَبْدِ فَكَيْفَ أَنْتَ صَانِعٌ ؟ " قَالَ : قُلْتُ : اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ! قَالَ : " تَعَفَّفْ " ، قَالَ : " يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ ، أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ النَّاسُ قُتِلُوا حَتَّى تَغْرَقَ حِجَارَةُ الزَّيْتِ مِنَ الدِّمَاءِ ، كَيْفَ أَنْتَ صَانِعٌ ؟ " قُلْتُ : اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ! قَالَ : " تَدْخُلُ بَيْتَكَ " قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَإِنْ أَنَا دُخِلَ عَلَيَّ ؟ قَالَ : " تَأْتِي مَنْ أَنْتَ مِنْهُ " ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : وَأَحْمِلُ السِّلَاحَ ؟ قَالَ : " إِذًا شَارَكْتَ " ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " إِنْ خِفْتَ أَنْ يَبْهَرَكَ شُعَاعُ السَّيْفِ ، فَأَلْقِ طَائِفَةً مِنْ رِدَائِكَ عَلَى وَجْهِكَ ، يَبُؤْ بِإِثْمِكَ وَإِثْمِهِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) rode on a donkey and made me sit behind him. He said, "Abu Dharr! Tell me, when people are afflicted with severe famine and you are unable to get up from your bed to go to the mosque, what will you do at that time?" He replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Even at that time, protect yourself from asking (others)." Then he said, "Abu Dharr! Tell me, when people begin to die in great numbers and a man's house becomes his grave, what will you do?" He replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Even at that time, be patient." Then he said, "Abu Dharr! Tell me, when people begin to kill each other and Hijarat al-Zayt is drenched in blood, what will you do?" He replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "Sit in your house and lock its door from inside." He asked, "If I am not allowed to stay in my house, then what should I do?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then go to those people among whom you are, and join them." He said, "I will take my weapon with me." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then you will be considered one of them. Therefore, if you fear the edge of the sword, then cover your face with your sheet so that he returns with his sin and yours."
