Hadith 21590

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، مِنْ وَلَدِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبَانَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ خَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِ مَرْوَانَ نَحْوًا مِنْ نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ ، فَقُلْنَا : مَا بَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ السَّاعَةَ إِلَّا لِشَيْءٍ سَأَلَهُ عَنْهُ ، فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ ، فَقَالَ : أَجَلْ ، سَأَلَنَا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " نَضَّرَ اللَّهُ امْرَأً سَمِعَ مِنَّا حَدِيثًا ، فَحَفِظَهُ حَتَّى يُبَلِّغَهُ غَيْرَهُ ، فَإِنَّهُ رُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ لَيْسَ بِفَقِيهٍ ، وَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَفْقَهُ مِنْهُ ، ثَلَاثُ خِصَالٍ لَا يَغِلُّ عَلَيْهِنَّ قَلْبُ مُسْلِمٍ أَبَدًا إِخْلَاصُ الْعَمَلِ لِلَّهِ ، وَمُنَاصَحَةُ وُلَاةِ الْأَمْرِ ، وَلُزُومُ الْجَمَاعَةِ ، فَإِنَّ دَعْوَتَهُمْ تُحِيطُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ " ، وَقَالَ : " مَنْ كَانَ هَمُّهُ الْآخِرَةَ ، جَمَعَ اللَّهُ شَمْلَهُ ، وَجَعَلَ غِنَاهُ فِي قَلْبِهِ ، وَأَتَتْهُ الدُّنْيَا وَهِيَ رَاغِمَةٌ ، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ نِيَّتُهُ الدُّنْيَا ، فَرَّقَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ ضَيْعَتَهُ ، وَجَعَلَ فَقْرَهُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ ، وَلَمْ يَأْتِهِ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا مَا كُتِبَ لَهُ " ، وَسَأَلَنَا عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَى ، وَهِيَ الظُّهْرُ .
Aban bin Uthman (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) came out from Marwan at midday. We began to say among ourselves that if Marwan has called him at this time, then surely it must have been to ask something. So I got up and went to him and asked him this very question. He replied, "Yes! He had asked me about some matters which I had heard from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'May Allah keep fresh and flourishing the person who hears a hadith from us, remembers it, and conveys it to others, for many people who carry knowledge of fiqh are not themselves jurists, but they convey it to those who are more knowledgeable and understanding than themselves.' And he said: 'Whoever's concern is the Hereafter, Allah gathers his affairs for him, enriches his heart, and the world comes to him humbled. And whoever's intention is the world, Allah scatters his affairs, places poverty before his eyes, and he only gets from the world what has been decreed for him.' And we asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) about the middle prayer (Salat al-Wusta), and the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'It is the Zuhr prayer.'"
