حَدَّثَنَا
ابنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، عَنِ
الْأَعْمَشِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
أَبا ظِبيَانَ ،
وَيَعْلَى ، حَدَّثَنَا
الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ
أَبي ظِبيَانَ ، قَالَ : غَزَا
أَبو أَيُّوب الرُّومَ فَمَرِضَ ، فَلَمَّا حُضِرَ ، قَالَ : أَنَا إِذَا مِتُّ فَاحْمِلُونِي ، فَإِذَا صَافَفتُمُ الْعَدُوَّ فَادْفِنُونِي تَحْتَ أَقْدَامِكُمْ ، وَسَأُحَدِّثُكُمْ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، لَوْلَا حَالِي هَذَا مَا حَدَّثْتُكُمُوهُ ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ :
" مَنْ مَاتَ لَا يُشْرِكُ باللَّهِ شَيْئًا ، دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ " .
Abu Zubyan says that Hazrat Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) participated in the jihad against Rome. He became ill, and when the time of his death approached, he said: When I die, convey my greetings to the people on my behalf and inform them that I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever dies in such a state that he does not associate anyone with Allah, Allah will admit him into Paradise. And keep carrying me forward, and as far as possible, keep taking me further into the land of Rome.
