Hadith 3991

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ ، وَحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَجْتَنِي سِوَاكًا مِنَ الْأَرَاكِ وَكَانَ دَقِيقَ السَّاقَيْنِ ، فَجَعَلَتْ الرِّيحُ تَكْفَؤُهُ ، فَضَحِكَ الْقَوْمُ مِنْهُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مِمَّ تَضْحَكُونَ ؟ " قَالُوا : يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ، مِنْ دِقَّةِ سَاقَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ : " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، لَهُمَا أَثْقَلُ فِي الْمِيزَانِ مِنْ أُحُدٍ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he was picking miswak sticks from the Arak tree, and his shins were thin; when the wind blew, he would stagger, and people began to laugh at this. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked, "Why are you laughing?" The people said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! At the thinness of his shins." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "By Him in Whose Hand is my soul, these two shins will be heavier on the scale of deeds than Mount Uhud."
