حَدَّثَنَا
عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ ، حَدَّثَنِي
أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا
حُسَيْنٌ ، عَنِ
ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ ، أَنَّ
يَحْيَى بْنَ يَعْمَرَ حَدَّثَهُ ، أَنَّ
أَبَا الْأَسْوَدِ الدِّيْلِيَّ حَدَّثَهُ ، أَنَّ
أَبَا ذَرٍّ ، قَالَ : أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَلَيْهِ ثَوْبٌ أَبْيَضُ ، فَإِذَا هُوَ نَائِمٌ ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ أُحَدِّثُهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ نَائِمٌ ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ وَقَدْ اسْتَيْقَظَ فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ :
" مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ قَالَ : لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، ثُمَّ مَاتَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ إِلَّا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ " ، قُلْتُ : وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ ؟ ! قَالَ : " وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ " ، قُلْتُ : وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ ؟ ! قَالَ : " وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ " ثَلَاثًا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ : " عَلَى رَغْمِ أَنْفِ أَبِي ذَرٍّ " ، قَالَ : فَخَرَجَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ يَجُرُّ إِزَارَهُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ وَإِنْ رَغِمَ أَنْفُ أَبِي ذَرٍّ ، قَالَ : فَكَانَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ يُحَدِّثُ بِهَذَا بَعْدُ ، وَيَقُولُ : وَإِنْ رَغِمَ أَنْفُ أَبِي ذَرٍّ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I presented myself before the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He was wearing white clothes. When I arrived, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sleeping. I came again, and he was still sleeping. The third time, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had awakened, so I sat beside him. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever testifies that there is no god but Allah and departs from this world upon this testimony, will enter Paradise." I asked, "Even if he commits adultery and theft?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Yes! Even if he commits adultery and theft." This question and answer happened three times. The fourth time, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Yes! Even if Abu Dharr's nose becomes dust-covered." Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), upon hearing this, left dragging his cloak, repeating this sentence, and whenever he narrated this hadith, he would certainly repeat this sentence: "Even if Abu Dharr's nose becomes dust-covered."
