أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا بُنْدَارٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبَانَ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : خَرَجَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ ، مِنْ عِنْدِ مَرْوَانَ نِصْفَ النَّهَارِ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : مَا بَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ إِلا لِشَيْءٍ سَأَلَهُ عَنْهُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ ، فقَالَ : سَأَلَنَا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ سَمِعْنَاهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " نَضَّرَ اللَّهُ امْرَأً سَمِعَ مِنَّا حَدِيثًا فَبَلَّغَهُ غَيْرَهُ ، فَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَفْقَهُ مِنْهُ ، وَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ لَيْسَ بِفَقِيهٍ ، ثَلاثٌ لا يُغَلُّ عَلَيْهِنَّ قَلْبُ مُسْلِمٍ : إِخْلاصُ الْعَمَلِ لِلَّهِ ، وَمُنَاصَحَةُ وُلاةِ الأَمْرِ ، وَلُزُومُ الْجَمَاعَةِ ، فَإِنَّ دَعْوَتَهُمْ تُحِيطُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ ، وَمَنْ كَانَتِ الدُّنْيَا نِيَّتَهُ فَرَّقَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرَهُ ، وَجَعَلَ فَقْرَهُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ ، وَلَمْ يَأْتِهِ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلا مَا كُتِبَ لَهُ ، وَمَنْ كَانَتِ الآخِرَةُ نِيَّتَهُ جَمَعَ اللَّهُ لَهُ أَمْرَهُ ، وَجَعَلَ غِنَاهُ فِي قَلْبِهِ ، وَأَتَتْهُ الدُّنْيَا وَهِيَ رَاغِمَةٌ " .
Abdur Rahman bin Aban narrates from his father: Once, Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) came out from Marwan at noon, so I thought that he must have gone to him for some important matter that Marwan wanted to ask him about. I asked Sayyiduna Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said: He asked us about some things which we had heard from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). (Sayyiduna Zaid, may Allah be pleased with him, said) I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: “May Allah make happy the one who hears a hadith from us and then conveys it to another, for sometimes the one who receives knowledge conveys it to someone more knowledgeable than himself, and sometimes the one who receives knowledge is not actually a scholar. There are three things about which a Muslim’s heart does not deceive: making deeds sincere for Allah, wishing well for the Muslim rulers, and sticking to their community, for their supplication encompasses those who are absent. Whoever’s intention is for the world, Allah will scatter his affairs and place poverty before his eyes, and he will get nothing from the world except what is written for him. And whoever’s intention is for the Hereafter, Allah will gather his affairs, place contentment in his heart, and the world will come to him humbled.”
