Hadith 569
أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا الأَزْرَقُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ أَبُو الْجَهْمِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا حَسَّانُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، وَمُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ ، يَقُولُ : بَيْنَا أَنَا جَالِسٌ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ وَلَّى عَنْهُ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لأُحِبُّ هَذَا لِلَّهِ ، قَالَ : " فَهَلْ أَعْلَمْتَهُ ذَاكَ ؟ " قُلْتُ : لا ، قَالَ : " فَأَعْلِمْ ذَاكَ أَخَاكَ " ، قَالَ : فَاتَّبَعْتُهُ فَأَدْرَكْتُهُ فَأَخَذْتُ بِمَنْكِبِهِ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ ، وَقُلْتُ : وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأُحِبُّكَ لِلَّهِ ، قَالَ هُوَ : وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأُحِبُّكَ لِلَّهِ قُلْتُ : لَوْلا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُعْلِمُكَ لَمْ أَفْعَلْ " تَفَرَّدَ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ الأَزْرَقُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَهُ الشَّيْخُ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: Once I was sitting with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). During that time, a man came to you. He greeted you with salam and then left from there. I said: O Messenger of Allah! I love this person for the sake of Allah Almighty. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Have you told him this? I replied: No. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Tell this to your brother. The narrator says: I went after that person. I caught up with him. I held him by the shoulder. I greeted him with salam and said: By Allah! I love you for the sake of Allah. He also said: By Allah! I also love you for the sake of Allah Almighty. I told him: If the Prophet of Allah had not commanded me to tell you this, I would not have done so. In narrating this tradition, the narrator named Azraq bin Ali is unique, and this has been stated by the Shaykh.
