اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الْأَوْزَاعِيَّ ، يَقُولُ : حَدَّثَنِي الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ الْمُعَيْطِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنِي مَعْدَانُ بْنُ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الْيَعْمُرِيُّ ، قَالَ : لَقِيتُ ثَوْبَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقُلْتُ : أَخْبِرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ أَعْمَلُهُ يُدْخِلُنِي اللَّهُ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ ، أَوْ قَالَ : قُلْتُ : بِأَحَبِّ الْأَعْمَالِ إِلَى اللَّهِ فَسَكَتَ ، ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُهُ الثَّالِثَةَ ، فَقَالَ : سَأَلْتُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ " عَلَيْكَ بِكَثْرَةِ السُّجُودِ ، فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَسْجُدُ لِلَّهِ سَجْدَةً إِلَّا رَفَعَكَ اللَّهُ بِهَا دَرَجَةً ، وَحَطَّ عَنْكَ بِهَا خَطِيئَةً " , قَالَ مَعْدَانُ : ثُمَّ لَقِيتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ ، فَقَالَ لِي : مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ لِي ثَوْبَانُ.
Ma'dan Ya'mari (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I met Hazrat Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him), so I requested, "Please tell me of a deed that is most beloved to Allah, by virtue of which Allah will admit me into Paradise." At this, he remained silent. After I asked three times and he remained silent, he said, "I also asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) this same question, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Make abundant prostration (sujood) obligatory upon yourself, for whenever you perform a prostration for the sake of Allah's pleasure, Allah will raise you one degree and erase one sin because of it.'" Ma'dan says, "Then I met Hazrat Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked him the same question, and he gave me the same answer that Hazrat Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) had given."
