Hadith 33
أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا لِأَصْحَابِهِ: ((سَلُونِي)) فَهَابُوهُ أَنْ يَسْأَلُوهُ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ حَتَّى وَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ، فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ: أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الْإِيمَانِ، فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ وَزَادَ ((وَيُؤْمِنُ بِالْبَعْثِ وَبِالْقَدَرِ كُلِّهِ)) ، وَيَقُولُ فِي كُلِّ مَسْأَلَةٍ: صَدَقْتَ، وَقَالَ: ((إِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْحُفَاةَ الْعُرَاةَ الصُّمَّ الْبُكُمَ مُلُوكَ الْأَرْضِ، وَرَأَيْتَ رِعَاءَ الْبَهْمِ يَتَطَاوَلُونَ فِي الْبُنْيَانِ،)) وَقَالَ فِيهِ: ((أَنْ تَخْشَى اللَّهَ كَأَنَّكَ تَرَاهُ)) ، وَقَالَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ: ((هَذَا جِبْرِيلُ)) ، قَالَ: أَبُو زُرْعَةَ أَرَادَ أَنْ تَعْلَمُوا أَنْ تَسْأَلُوهُ.
Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) one day said to his noble companions: “Ask me.” So they were afraid to ask him anything. Then a man came and placed his hands on the Prophet’s knees and said: “O Muhammad (peace be upon him)! Tell me about faith.” The narrator then mentioned the hadith similar to the previous one, and added: “And that you believe in being raised after death, and that you believe in every kind of destiny.” And whatever he would ask you, he would say: “You have spoken the truth.” And the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “When you see the naked, barefoot, deaf, and dumb (like animals) people becoming the owners of the land (country), and you see the shepherds of livestock boasting with one another in construction.” In this hadith it is stated: “That you fear Allah as if you see Him.” And in the hadith it is stated: “This is Jibreel.” Abu Zur’ah narrated: He wished that they be taught to ask him questions.
