Hadith 27239
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ , أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " أَقْطَعَهُ أَرْضًا " ، قَالَ : فأرْسَلَ مَعِي مُعَاوِيَةَ أَنْ أَعْطِهَا إِيَّاهُ أَوْ قَالَ أَعْلِمْهَا إِيَّاهُ قَالَ : فَقَالَ لِي مُعَاوِيَةُ : أَرْدِفْنِي خَلْفَكَ ، فَقُلْتُ : لَا تَكُونُ مِنْ أَرْدَافِ الْمُلُوكِ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ : أَعْطِنِي نَعْلَكَ ، فَقُلْتُ : انْتَعِلْ ظِلَّ النَّاقَةِ ، قَال : فلمَّا اسْتُخْلِفَ مُعَاوِيَةُ ، أتيْتُهُ ، فأقعَدَنِي مَعَهُ عَلَى السَّرِيرِ ، فذكرَنِي الْحَدِيثَ ، فقالَ سماك : قال : وددتُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ حَمَلْتُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ.
It is narrated from Hazrat Wa'il (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted him a piece of land and sent Hazrat Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) with him so that he could identify the portion. On the way, Hazrat Amir Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to me, "Let me ride behind you." I said, "You cannot sit behind kings." He said, "Then at least give me your shoes." I said, "Consider the shadow of the she-camel as your shoe." Then, when Hazrat Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) was appointed as the Caliph and I went to him, he seated me with him on the throne and reminded me of the aforementioned incident. He says that at that time I thought, "If only I had let him ride in front of me."
