باب صِفَةِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ في الْكُتُبِ قَبْلَ مَبْعَثِهِ:Chapter: The Description of the Prophet in Previous Scriptures Before His Mission
Hadith 7
أَخْبَرَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ ذَكْوَانَ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ كَعْبٍ: "فِي السَّطْرِ الْأَوَّلِ: مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، عَبْدِي الْمُخْتَارُ، لَا فَظٌّ، وَلَا غَلِيظٌ، وَلَا صَخَّابٌ فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ، وَلَا يَجْزِي بِالسَّيِّئَةِ السَّيِّئَةَ، وَلَكِنْ يَعْفُو وَيَغْفِرُ، مَوْلِدُهُ بِمَكَّةَ، وَهِجْرَتُهُ بِطَيْبَةَ، وَمُلْكُهُ بِالشَّامِ، وَفِي السَّطْرِ الثَّانِي: مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، أُمَّتُهُ الْحَمَّادُونَ يَحْمَدُونَ اللَّهَ فِي السَّرَّاءِ وَالضَّرَّاءِ، يَحْمَدُونَ اللَّهَ فِي كُلِّ مَنْزِلَةٍ، وَيُكَبِّرُونَه عَلَى كُلِّ شَرَفٍ، رُعَاةُ الشَّمْسِ يُصَلُّونَ الصَّلَاةَ إِذَا جَاءَ وَقْتُهَا وَلَوْ كَانُوا عَلَى رَأْسِ كُنَاسَةٍ، وَيَأْتَزِرُونَ عَلَى أَوْسَاطِهِمْ، وَيُوَضِّئُونَ أَطْرَافَهُمْ، وَأَصْوَاتُهُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ فِي جَوِّ السَّمَاءِ كَأَصْوَاتِ النَّحْلِ".
It is narrated from Ka‘b al-Ahbar, in the first line: Muhammad, the Messenger, is My beloved servant (who) is neither ill-tempered nor hard-hearted, nor does he raise his voice in the markets, nor does he repay evil with evil; instead, he forgives and overlooks. His place of birth is Makkah, his place of migration is Madinah Tayyibah, and his rule will extend to Syria.
In the second paragraph he says: Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, his followers are those who praise Allah abundantly, who will praise and glorify Allah in both prosperity and adversity, they praise Allah at every stage and sing the greatness of Allah on every hill (elevated land), they are mindful of the sun, when the time for prayer comes, they perform the prayer even if it is on a heap of rubbish, they will wear lower garments up to mid-calf, they will perform ablution of hands and feet, and the sounds of their night prayers will be like the buzzing of bees within the sky.
