باب فَضْلِ مَنْ سَجَدَ لِلَّهِ سَجْدَةً:Chapter: Virtue of one who prostrates to Allah
Hadith 1500
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ رِيَابٍ، عَنْ الْأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ مَسْجِدَ دِمَشْقَ، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ يُكْثِرُ الرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ قُلْتُ: لَا أَخْرُجُ حَتَّى أَنْظُرَ أَيَدْرِي هَذَا عَلَى شَفْعٍ انْصَرِفْتُ أَمْ عَلَى وِتْرٍ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ، قُلْتُ: يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ، أَتَدْرِي عَلَى شَفْعٍ انْصَرَفْتَ أَمْ عَلَى وِتْرٍ ؟ فَقَالَ: إِنْ أَكُ لَا أَدْرِي، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَدْرِي . ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ خَلِيلِي أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: "مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَسْجُدُ لِلَّهِ سَجْدَةً إِلَّا رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ بِهَا دَرَجَةً، وَحَطَّ عَنْهُ بِهَا خَطِيئَةً" . قُلْتُ: مَنْ أَنْتَ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ ؟ قَالَ: أَنَا أَبُو ذَرٍّ . قَالَ: فَتَقَاصَرَتْ إِلَيَّ نَفْسِي.
Ahnaf bin Qais said: I entered the mosque of Damascus and saw a man performing many bowings and prostrations. I said to myself that I will not leave until I see whether this person ends his prayer with salam after two rak'ahs or after one rak'ah of witr. When he finished his prayer, I said: O servant of Allah! Did you complete your prayer with two rak'ahs or with one rak'ah of witr? He replied: If I do not know, then Allah Almighty knows. Then he said: I heard my beloved friend Abu al-Qasim Muhammad (peace be upon him) say: Whenever a servant performs a prostration for Allah, Allah raises him one degree and forgives one sin. I said: May Allah have mercy on you, who are you? He said: I am Abu Dharr. Ahnaf said: I considered myself insignificant compared to him.
