Hadith 728
728 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الصَّفَّارُ، أبنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ جَامِعٍ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، ثنا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالِ، ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ وَحُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ مُوَرِّقٍ الْعِجْلِيِّ، أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ وَابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ دَخَلَا عَلَى سَلْمَانَ يَعُودَانِهِ، فَبَكَى سَلْمَانُ، فَقَالَا لَهُ: مَا يُبْكِيكَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ؟، قَالَ: عَهْدٌ عَهِدَهُ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَحْفَظْهُ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ، قَالَ: وَذَكَرَ: «لِيَكُنْ بَلَاغُ أَحَدِكُمْ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا زَادَ الرَّاكِبِ»
It is narrated from Sa'id bin al-Musayyib and Mawraq 'Ajli that Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with them both) and Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with them both) went to visit Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) when he was ill. Salman began to weep, so they said to him: O Abu 'Abdullah! What has made you weep? He said: This covenant which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took from us, but none of us has fulfilled it. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said . . . . . and he narrated: "Each of you should have in this world only as much provision and share as a rider carries in his journey."
