حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ , حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ بَهْرَامَ , حَدَّثَنَا شَهْرٌ , حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ غَنْمٍ , عَنْ حَدِيثِ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ , أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ بِالنَّاسِ قِبَلَ غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ , فَلَمَّا أَنْ أَصْبَحَ صَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ , ثُمَّ إِنَّ النَّاسَ رَكِبُوا , فَلَمَّا أَنْ طَلَعَتْ الشَّمْسُ نَعَسَ النَّاسُ عَلَى أَثَرِ الدُّلْجَةِ , وَلَزِمَ مُعَاذٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتْلُو أَثَرَهُ , وَالنَّاسُ تَفَرَّقَتْ بِهِمْ رِكَابُهُمْ عَلَى جَوَادِّ الطَّرِيقِ , تَأْكُلُ وَتَسِيرُ , فَبَيْنَمَا مُعَاذٌ عَلَى أَثَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَاقَتُهُ تَأْكُلُ مَرَّةً , وَتَسِيرُ أُخْرَى , عَثَرَتْ نَاقَةُ مُعَاذٍ فَكَبَحَهَا بِالزِّمَامِ , فَهَبَّتْ حَتَّى نَفَرَتْ مِنْهَا نَاقَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَشْفَ عَنْهُ قِنَاعَهُ , فَالْتَفَتَ , فَإِذَا لَيْسَ مِنَ الْجَيْشِ رَجُلٌ أَدْنَى إِلَيْهِ مِنْ مُعَاذٍ , فَنَادَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : " يَا مُعَاذُ " , قَالَ : لَبَّيْكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ , قَالَ : " ادْنُ دُونَكَ " , فَدَنَا مِنْهُ حَتَّى لَصِقَتْ رَاحِلَتَاهُمَا إِحْدَاهُمَا بِالْأُخْرَى , فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا كُنْتُ أَحْسِبُ النَّاسَ مِنَّا كَمَكَانِهِمْ مِنَ الْبُعْدِ " , فَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ : يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ , نَعَسَ النَّاسُ فَتَفَرَّقَتْ بِهِمْ رِكَابُهُمْ تَرْتَعُ وَتَسِيرُ , فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " وَأَنَا كُنْتُ نَاعِسًا " , فَلَمَّا رَأَى مُعَاذٌ بُشْرَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَيْهِ وَخَلْوَتَهُ لَهُ , قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , ائْذَنْ لِي أَسْأَلْكَ عَنْ كَلِمَةٍ قَدْ أَمْرَضَتْنِي , وَأَسْقَمَتْنِي , وَأَحْزَنَتْنِي , فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " سَلْنِي عَمَّ شِئْتَ " , قَالَ : يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ , حَدِّثْنِي بِعَمَلٍ يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ , لَا أَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ غَيْرِهَا , قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " بَخٍ بَخٍ , لَقَدْ سَأَلْتَ بِعَظِيمٍ ثَلَاثًا , وَإِنَّهُ لَيَسِيرٌ عَلَى مَنْ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِهِ الْخَيْرَ , وَإِنَّهُ لَيَسِيرٌ عَلَى مَنْ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِهِ الْخَيْرَ , وَإِنَّهُ لَيَسِيرٌ عَلَى مَنْ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِهِ الْخَيْرَ " , فَلَمْ يُحَدِّثْهُ بِشَيْءٍ إِلَّا قَالَهُ لَهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ , يَعْنِي : أَعَادَهُ عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ , حِرْصًا لِكَيْ مَا يُتْقِنَهُ عَنْهُ , فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " تُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ , وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ , وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ , وَتَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ وَحْدَهُ لَا تُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا حَتَّى تَمُوتَ , وَأَنْتَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ " , فَقَالَ : يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ , أَعِدْ لِي , فَأَعَادَهَا لَهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ , ثُمَّ قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنْ شِئْتَ حَدَّثْتُكَ يَا مُعَاذُ بِرَأْسِ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ , وَقَوَامِ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ , وَذُرْوَةِ السَّنَامِ " , فَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ : بَلَى بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي أَنْتَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ فَحَدِّثْنِي , فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ رَأْسَ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ أَنْ تَشْهَدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ , وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ , وَإِنَّ قَوَامَ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ إِقَامُ الصَّلَاةِ , وَإِيتَاءُ الزَّكَاةِ , وَإِنَّ ذُرْوَةَ السَّنَامِ مِنْهُ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ , إِنَّمَا أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ , وَيُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ , وَيَشْهَدُوا أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ , وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ , فَإِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ اعْتَصَمُوا وَعَصَمُوا دِمَاءَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهَا , وَحِسَابُهُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ " , وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ , مَا شَحَبَ وَجْهٌ وَلَا اغْبَرَّتْ قَدَمٌ فِي عَمَلٍ تُبْتَغَى فِيهِ دَرَجَاتُ الْجَنَّةِ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ الْمَفْرُوضَةِ , كَجِهَادٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ , وَلَا ثَقُلَ مِيزَانُ عَبْدٍ كَدَابَّةٍ تَنْفُقُ لَهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ , أَوْ يَحْمِلُ عَلَيْهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out with the people for the expedition of Tabuk. In the morning, he led the people in the Fajr prayer, and the people began to mount their rides. When the sun had risen, the people, due to traveling all night, began to doze off. Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) kept walking behind the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), staying close to him, while the people had left their rides, which had thus scattered along the paths and were grazing here and there. Suddenly, his ride bolted. Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) caught it by the reins and pulled it, so it ran swiftly, causing the Noble Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) camel to also bolt. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) lifted his cloak and looked back, and there was no one in the army closer to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) than Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him). So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called out to him, “Mu'adh!” He replied, “At your service, O Messenger of Allah!” The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Come closer,” so he drew even nearer until their rides were side by side.
The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “I did not think the people would be so far from us.” Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “O Prophet of Allah! The people are dozing, so their rides have scattered, grazing here and there.” The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Sleepiness also overcame me.” When Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) saw the cheerfulness and privacy on the Noble Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed face, he said, “O Messenger of Allah! If you permit, may I ask a question that has made me sick and sorrowful?” The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Ask whatever you wish.” He said, “O Prophet of Allah! Tell me of an action that will admit me to Paradise. I will not ask you anything else besides this.” The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Very good (three times), you have asked a great thing (three times), but for whom Allah intends good, it is made very easy.” Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated whatever he said to him three times, due to his eagerness and so that it would become firm for him.
Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Have faith in Allah, have faith in the Last Day, establish prayer, worship Allah alone, do not associate anything with Him, until you depart from this world in that state.” Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “O Prophet of Allah! Please repeat this.” The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated this three times. Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “O Mu'adh! If you wish, shall I tell you about the foundation of this religion, what upholds it, and its highest peak?” Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “O Prophet of Allah! Certainly, may my parents be sacrificed for you, do tell me.” The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “The foundation of this religion is that you bear witness that there is no god but Allah, He is alone and has no partner, and that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is His servant and Messenger. What upholds this religion is establishing prayer and giving zakat, and its highest peak is striving in the path of Allah (jihad fi sabilillah). I have been commanded to fight the people until they establish prayer, give zakat, and bear witness to the oneness of Allah and the messengership. When they do so, they have protected their lives and wealth from me, except for the right of this word, and their reckoning is with Allah the Exalted.”
The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also said, “By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), in no deed—except for the obligatory prayer—by which the ranks of Paradise are sought, does a person’s face become pale nor his feet become dusty as they do in striving in the path of Allah (jihad fi sabilillah), and no person’s record of deeds becomes as heavy as it does by that animal which is used in the path of Allah or by mounting someone on it in the path of Allah.”
The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “I did not think the people would be so far from us.” Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “O Prophet of Allah! The people are dozing, so their rides have scattered, grazing here and there.” The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Sleepiness also overcame me.” When Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) saw the cheerfulness and privacy on the Noble Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed face, he said, “O Messenger of Allah! If you permit, may I ask a question that has made me sick and sorrowful?” The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Ask whatever you wish.” He said, “O Prophet of Allah! Tell me of an action that will admit me to Paradise. I will not ask you anything else besides this.” The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Very good (three times), you have asked a great thing (three times), but for whom Allah intends good, it is made very easy.” Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated whatever he said to him three times, due to his eagerness and so that it would become firm for him.
Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Have faith in Allah, have faith in the Last Day, establish prayer, worship Allah alone, do not associate anything with Him, until you depart from this world in that state.” Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “O Prophet of Allah! Please repeat this.” The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated this three times. Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “O Mu'adh! If you wish, shall I tell you about the foundation of this religion, what upholds it, and its highest peak?” Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “O Prophet of Allah! Certainly, may my parents be sacrificed for you, do tell me.” The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “The foundation of this religion is that you bear witness that there is no god but Allah, He is alone and has no partner, and that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is His servant and Messenger.
