Hadith 25856

حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ , قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ , حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ , عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ , عَنْ عُرْوَةَ , عَنْ عَائِشَةَ , أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ : لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ , اشْتَكَى أَصْحَابُهُ , وَاشْتَكَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعَامِرُ بْنُ فُهَيْرَةَ مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَبِلَالٌ , فَاسْتَأْذَنَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَائِشَةُ فِي عِيَادَتِهِمْ , فَأَذِنَ لَهَا , فَقَالَتْ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ : كَيْفَ تَجِدُكَ ؟ فَقَالَ : كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مُصَبَّحٌ فِي أَهْلِهِ وَالْمَوْتُ أَدْنَى مِنْ شِرَاكِ نَعْلِهِ , وَسَأَلْتُ عَامِرًا , فَقَالَ : إني وَجَدْتُ الْمَوْتَ قَبْلَ ذَوْقِهِ إِنَّ الْجَبَانَ حَتْفُهُ مِنْ فَوْقِهِ , وَسَأَلْتُ بِلَالًا , فَقَالَ : أَلَا لَيْتَ شِعْرِي هَلْ أَبِيتَنَّ لَيْلَةً بِفَجٍّ وَحَوْلِي إِذْخِرٌ وَجَلِيلُ , فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِقَوْلِهِمْ , فَنَظَرَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ قَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ حَبِّبْ إِلَيْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ كَمَا حَبَّبْتَ إِلَيْنَا مَكَّةَ وَأَشَدَّ , وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي صَاعِهَا وَمُدِّهَا , وَانْقُلْ وَبَاءَهَا إِلَى مَهْيَعَةٍ " , وَهِيَ الْجُحْفَةُ كَمَا زَعَمُوا .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, his companions (may Allah be pleased with them) became ill. Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him), his freed slave Fuhairah, and Bilal also became ill. Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) sought permission from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to visit these people for inquiry, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted her permission. She asked Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) how he was feeling regarding his health. He recited this verse: "Every person wakes up among his family while death is closer to him than the strap of his sandal." Then I asked Amir, and he recited this verse: "I feel death before tasting its bitterness, and the graveyard has come close to my face." Then I asked Bilal about his condition, and he recited this verse: "Alas! How would I know if I will ever spend a night again in 'Fah', and around me will be the grasses called 'Idhkhir' and 'Jaleel'." Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) presented herself in the court of Prophethood and informed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) of their words. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked towards the sky and said: O Allah! Make Madinah Munawwarah beloved to us as You made Makkah beloved, or even more so, even more so. O Allah! Bless the sa’ and the mudd of Madinah, and transfer its epidemic towards Hujfah.
