حَدَّثَنَا
عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ حَسَّانَ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا
عُمَارَةُ ، عَنْ
ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ
أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : بَيْنَمَا عَائِشَةُ فِي بَيْتِهَا إِذْ سَمِعَتْ صَوْتًا فِي الْمَدِينَةِ ، فَقَالَتْ : مَا هَذَا ؟ قَالُوا : عِيرٌ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ قَدِمَتْ مِنَ الشَّامِ تَحْمِلُ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ . قَالَ : فَكَانَتْ سَبْعَ مِئَةِ بَعِيرٍ . قَالَ : فَارْتَجَّتْ الْمَدِينَةُ مِنَ الصَّوْتِ ، فَقَالَتْ
عَائِشَةُ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ :
" قَدْ رَأَيْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ حَبْوًا " . فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ ، فَقَالَ : إِنْ اسْتَطَعْتُ لَأَدْخُلَنَّهَا قَائِمًا ، فَجَعَلَهَا بِأَقْتَابِهَا وَأَحْمَالِهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَ.
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Hazrat Aisha was sitting in her house when a noise and commotion was heard in Madinah Munawwarah. She asked, "What is this sound?" People informed her that Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Awf's caravan had arrived from Syria and it contained everything. The narrator says that this caravan consisted of seven hundred camels and a great commotion arose in Madinah Munawwarah because of it. Hazrat Aisha said, "I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'I saw Abdur Rahman bin Awf entering Paradise crawling on his knees.'" When this reached Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Awf, he said, "If it is possible for me, I will enter Paradise standing upright." Saying this, he spent all the goods of those camels, even the ropes, in the way of Allah. Benefit: The scholars of hadith have declared this narration to be fabricated.
