عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ الأَشْعَثِ السِّجِسْتَانِيُّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِبَغْدَادَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا
عَلِيُّ بْنُ خَشْرَمٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا
الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، عَنْ
مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ
عَمْرِو بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ ، عَنْ
عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَقَّاصٍ ، قَالَ : مَرَّ بِهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ لَهُ شَرَفٌ ، وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ بِسُوقِ الْمَدِينَةِ ، فَقَالَ عَلْقَمَةُ : يَا فُلانُ ، إِنَّ لَكَ حُرْمَةً ، وَإِنَّ لَكَ حَقًّا ، وَإِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُكَ تَدْخُلُ عَلَى هَؤُلاءِ الأُمَرَاءِ فَتَكَلَّمُ عِنْدَهُمْ ، وَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ
بِلالَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ الْمُزَنِيَّ صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى الِلَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى الِلَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ رِضْوَانِ اللَّهِ ، مَا يَظُنُّ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ ، فَيَكْتُبُ الِلَّهِ لَهُ بِهَا رِضْوَانَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ ، وَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ سَخَطِ اللَّهِ ، مَا يَظُنُّ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ مَا بَلَغَتْ ، فَيَكْتُبُ الِلَّهِ لَهُ بِهَا سَخَطَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ " قَالَ عَلْقَمَةُ : انْظُرْ وَيْحَكَ مَاذَا تَقُولُ ، وَمَاذَا تَكَلَّمُ بِهِ ، فَرُبَّ كَلامٌ قَدْ مَنَعَنِي مَا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ بِلالِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ .
It is narrated about Alqamah bin Waqas. Once, a man from Madinah Munawwarah, who was a person of means (or perhaps a government official), passed by him while Alqamah was sitting in the market of Madinah Munawwarah. Alqamah said: O so-and-so! You have some rights and you have some duties as well. I have seen that you frequently go to these rulers and converse with them. I heard the companion of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), Sayyiduna Bilal bin Harith Muzani (may Allah be pleased with him), narrate this: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Indeed, one of you says a word seeking Allah’s pleasure, and he does not realize how far it will reach, so Allah records His pleasure for him until the Day he will meet Allah. And a person says a word that incurs Allah’s displeasure, and he does not realize how far it will reach, but Allah records His displeasure for him until the Day of Resurrection.” Alqamah said: Woe to you, examine what you say and about what you speak! For since I heard this hadith from Sayyiduna Bilal bin Harith (may Allah be pleased with him), I have refrained from saying many things.
