أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، نا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، نا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ ، نا الْمُعَلَّى الْمَالِكِيُّ ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ ، فَقَالَ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَتَى السَّاعَةُ ؟ فَقَالَ : " وَمَا أَعْدَدْتَ لَهَا ؟ " ، قَالَ : لا وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيًّا مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لَهَا مِنْ كَبِيرِ صَلاةٍ وَلا صِيَامٍ ، إِلا أَنِّي أُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ، قَالَ : " فَإِنَّكَ مَعَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ " ، قَالَ : فَذَهَبَ الشَّيْخُ فَأَخَذَ يَبُولُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَمَرَّ عَلَيْهِ النَّاسُ فَأَقَامُوهُ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " دَعُوهُ عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ " ، فَصَبُّوا عَلَى بَوْلِهِ الْمَاءَ . كَذَا قَالَ يُوسُفُ : الْمُعَلَّى الْمَالِكِيُّ ، الْمُعَلَّى مَجْهُولٌ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah narrates: Once a Bedouin came to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He was an old man. He said, "O Muhammad! When will the Hour (Day of Judgment) come?" The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "What preparation have you made for it?" He replied, "By the One Who has sent you with the truth, I have not prepared many prayers or fasts for it, but I love Allah and His Messenger." So the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "You will be with those whom you love." The narrator states: Then that old man went and wanted to urinate in the mosque. Some people passed by him and stopped him, so the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "Let him do it! Perhaps he is a person of Paradise." Then those people poured water over his urine.
