حَدَّثَنَا
سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْهَاشِمِيُّ , أَخبرنَا
إِسْمَاعِيلُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ جَعْفَرٍ , أَخْبَرَنِي
يَزِيدُ بْنُ خُصَيْفَةَ , أَنَّ
بُسْرَ بْنَ سَعِيدٍ أَخْبَرَهُ , أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ فِي مَجْلِسِ
اللَّيْثِيِّينَ يَذْكُرُونَ , أَنَّ
سُفْيَانَ أَخْبَرَهُمْ , أَنَّ فَرَسَهُ أَعْيَتْ بِالْعَقِيقِ وَهُوَ فِي بَعْثٍ بَعَثَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ يَسْتَحْمِلُهُ , فَزَعَمَ سُفْيَانُ كَمَا ذَكَرُوا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ مَعَهُ يَبْتَغِي لَهُ بَعِيرًا , فَلَمْ يَجِدْه إِلَّا عِنْدَ أَبِي جَهْمِ بْنِ حُذَيْفَةَ الْعَدَوِيِّ , فَسَامَهُ لَهُ , فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو جَهْمٍ : لَا أَبِيعُكَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , وَلَكِنْ خُذْهُ فَاحْمِلْ عَلَيْهِ مَنْ شِئْتَ , فَزَعَمَ أَنَّهُ أَخَذَهُ مِنْهُ , ثُمَّ خَرَجَ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ بِئْرَ الْإِهَابِ , زَعَمَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ :
" يُوشِكُ الْبُنْيَانُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ هَذَا الْمَكَانَ , وَيُوشِكُ الشَّامُ أَنْ يُفْتَتَحَ , فَيَأْتِيَهُ رِجَالٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ هَذَا الْبَلَدِ , فَيُعْجِبَهُمْ رِيفُهُ وَرَخَاؤُهُ , وَالْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ , ثُمَّ يُفْتَحُ الْعِرَاقُ , فَيَأْتِي قَوْمٌ يَبُسُّونَ , فَيَتَحَمَّلُونَ بِأَهْلِيهِمْ وَمَنْ أَطَاعَهُمْ , وَالْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ , إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ دَعَا لِأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ , وَإِنِّي أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَنْ يُبَارِكَ لَنَا فِي صَاعِنَا , وَأَنْ يُبَارِكَ لَنَا فِي مُدِّنَا , مِثْلَ مَا بَارَكَ لِأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Sufyan bin Abi Zuhair (may Allah be pleased with him) that when he reached the valley of Aqeeq, once his horse became unable to move. He was part of the army that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had dispatched. He returned to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with a request for a mount. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went out with him in search of a camel, but no camel could be found anywhere. However, a camel was seen with Abu Juham bin Hudhaifah ‘Adawi. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) bargained with him, but Abu Juham submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! I do not sell it to you, but you may take it and allow whoever you wish to ride it." According to him, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took that camel from Abu Juham. Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) departed from there. When he reached Bi’r Ahhab, according to him, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Soon lofty buildings will reach even this place, and Syria will be conquered. Some people of this city will go there, and they will be greatly pleased with its greenery and climate, although if they knew, Madinah would be better for them. Then Iraq will also be conquered, and a people will spread out. They will mount their families and those who obey them, although if they knew, Madinah would be better for them. Hazrat Ibrahim (peace be upon him) prayed for the residents of Makkah, and I pray to Allah Almighty that He grants us blessings in our Sa’ and Mudd just as He granted to the people of Makkah."
