Sahih al-Jami al-Saghir — Hadith 2870

"بينما ثلاثة نفر يمشون أخذهم المطر فآووا إلى غار في جبل فانحطت على فم غارهم صخرة من الجبل فانطبقت عليهم فقال بعضهم لبعض: انظروا أعمالا عملتموها صالحة لله فادعوا بها لعله يفرجها عنكم; فقال أحدهم: اللهم إنه كان لي والدان شيخان كبيران وامرأتي ولي صبية صغار أرعى عليهم فإذا أرحت عليهم حلبت فبدأت بوالدي فسقيتهما قبل بني وإني نأى بي ذات يوم الشجر فلم آت حتى أمسيت فوجدتهما قد ناما فحلبت كما كنت أحلب فجئت بالحلاب فقمت عند رءوسهما أكره أن أوقظهما من نومهما وأكره أن أسقى الصبية قبلهما والصبية يتضاغون عند قدمي فلم يزل ذلك دأبي ودأبهم حتى طلع الفجر فإن كنت تعلم أني فعلت ذلك ابتغاء وجهك فافرج لنا فرجة نرى منها السماء ففرج الله منها فرجة فرأوا منها السماء; ¤ وقال الآخر: اللهم إنه كانت لي ابنة عم أحببتها كأشد ما يحب الرجال النساء وطلبت إليها نفسها فأبت حتى آتيها بمائة دينار فتعبت حتى جمعت مائة دينار فجئتها بها فلما وقعت بين رجليها قالت: يا عبد الله اتق الله ولا تفتح الخاتم إلا بحقه فقمت عنها فإن كنت تعلم أني فعلت ذلك ابتغاء وجهك فافرج لنا منها فرجة ففرج لهم فرجة; وقال الآخر: اللهم إني كنت استأجرت أجيرا بفرق أرز فلما قضى عمله قال لي: أعطني حقي فعرضت عليه فرقه فرغب عنه فلم أزل أزرعه حتى جمعت منه بقرا ورعاءها فجاءني فقال: اتق الله ولا تظلمني حقي قلت: اذهب إلى تلك البقر ورعائها فخذها فقال: اتق الله ولا تستهزئ بي فقلت: إني لا أستهزئ بك خذ ذلك البقر ورعاءها فأخذه وذهب به فإن كنت تعلم أني فعلت ذلك ابتغاء وجهك فافرج ما بقي ففرج الله ما بقي"
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Three men were walking along when rain overtook them, so they took shelter in a cave in a mountain. Then a boulder rolled down from the mountain onto the mouth of their cave and sealed it upon them. So they said to one another: Look to the righteous deeds that you have done for the sake of Allah, and supplicate by means of them; perhaps Allah will remove this (hardship) from you. So one of them said: O Allah, I had very elderly parents, I had my wife and I had little children, and I used to graze (the goats) for them. When I brought (the goats) back to them in the evening, I would milk them and begin with my parents, giving them to drink before my children. One day (the search for) trees took me far away and I could not come until evening had fallen, and I found that both of them had fallen asleep. I milked as usual and, taking the milk vessel, stood by their heads. I disliked waking them from their sleep, and I also disliked giving the children to drink before them, while the children were crying (from hunger) at my feet. This remained my state and theirs until dawn broke. (O Allah,) if You know that I did this only to seek Your pleasure, then make an opening for us through which we can see the sky. So Allah made some opening in it, and they saw the sky through it. The second said: O Allah, I had a cousin, the daughter of my paternal uncle, whom I loved as intensely as men can love women. I sought her for herself, but she refused unless I brought her a hundred dinars. I toiled until I had gathered a hundred dinars and brought them to her. Then, when I sat between her legs, she said: O servant of Allah, fear Allah and do not break the seal except by its right. So I got up and left her. (O Allah,) if You know that I did this only to seek Your pleasure, then make some opening for us from it. So Allah made some further opening for them. The third said: O Allah, I hired a labourer for one faraq (a measure) of rice. When he had finished his work, he said to me: Give me my due. I offered him his faraq, but he turned away from it (and left it). I kept on cultivating it until from it I had gathered cows and their herdsmen. Then he came to me and said: Fear Allah and do not wrong me in my due. I said: Go to those cows and their herdsmen and take them. He said: Fear Allah and do not mock me. I said: I am not mocking you; take these cows and their herdsmen. So he took them and went away. (O Allah,) if You know that I did this only to seek Your pleasure, then open up what remains as well. So Allah opened up the remaining part too."
