Hadith 1885
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ حُبَابٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ حَمْزَةَ الْقَيْسِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفٌ أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ إِمَامُ مَسْجِدِ ابْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يَسْتَقْبِلُكُمْ وَتَسْتَقْبِلُونَ " ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَحْيٌ نَزَلَ ؟ قَالَ : " لا " . قَالَ : عَدُوٌّ حَضَرَ ؟ قَالَ : " لا " . قَالَ : فَمَاذَا ؟ قَالَ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَغْفِرُ فِي أَوَّلِ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ لِكُلِّ أَهْلِ هَذِهِ الْقِبْلَةِ " ، وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَيْهَا ، فَجَعَلَ رَجُلٌ يَهُزُّ رَأْسَهُ ، وَيَقُولُ : بَخٍ بَخٍ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يَا فُلانُ ، ضَاقَ بِهِ صَدْرُكَ ؟ " قَالَ : لا ، وَلَكِنْ ذَكَرْتُ الْمُنَافِقَ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ هُمُ الْكَافِرُونَ ، وَلَيْسَ لِكَافِرٍ مِنْ ذَلِكِ شَيْءٌ "
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He is about to come to you and you are about to receive him." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said this three times. So Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "O Messenger of Allah, is revelation about to descend?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, "No." He asked, "Has an enemy arrived?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, "No." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) then asked, "Then what is about to come?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Indeed, on the first night of Ramadan, Allah Almighty forgives every person who faces this Qiblah." And the Prophet (peace be upon him) pointed towards the Qiblah. Then a man began to shake his head and say 'Wonderful, wonderful.' So the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said to him, "O so-and-so, has your chest become constricted by this statement? (Did you not like this statement?)" He replied, "No, but I remembered the hypocrite (that he too, being among the people of the Qiblah, would be forgiven)." So the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Indeed, the hypocrites are disbelievers, and the disbeliever attains nothing from this blessed virtue."
