Bayhaqi 11640 — The permissibility of hiring

أَخْبَرَنَا السَّيِّدُ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ دَاوُدَ الْعَلَوِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ، أنبأ أَبُو حَامِدٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْحَافِظُ سَنَةَ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ وِثَلَاثِمِائَةٍ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الذُّهْلِيُّ، ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، ثنا نَافِعٌ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " بَيْنَمَا ثَلَاثَةُ رَهْطٍ يَتَمَشَّوْنَ أَخَذَهُمُ الْمَطَرُ فَأَوَوْا إِلَى غَارٍ فِي جَبَلٍ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ فِيهِ حُطَّتْ صَخْرَةٌ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ فَأَطْبَقَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: انْظُرُوا أَفْضَلَ أَعْمَالٍ عَمِلْتُمُوهَا لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى فَسَلُوهُ بِهَا؛ لَعَلَّهُ يُفَرِّجُ بِهَا عَنْكُمْ، فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمُ: اللهُمَّ إِنَّهُ كَانَ لِي وَالِدَانِ كَبِيرَانِ، وَكَانَتْ لِيَ امْرَأَةٌ وَوَلَدٌ صِغَارٌ، وَكُنْتُ أَرْعَى عَلَيْهِمْ، فَإِذَا رُحْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ بَدَأْتُ بِأَبَوِيَّ فَسَقَيْتُهُمَا، فَنَأَى بِي يَوْمًا الشَّجَرُ فَلَمْ آتِ حَتَّى نَامَ أَبَوَايَ، فَطَيَّبْتُ الْإِنَاءَ ثُمَّ حَلَبْتُ فِيهِ ثُمَّ قُمْتُ بِحِلَابِي عِنْدَ رَأْسِ أَبَويَ، وَالصِّبْيَةُ يَتَضَاغَوْنَ عِنْدِ رِجْلِيَّ، أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَبْدَأَ بِهِمْ قَبْلَ أَبَوِيَّ، وَأَكْرَهُ أَنْ أُوقِظَهُمَا مِنْ نَوْمَتِهِمَا، فَلَمْ أَزَلْ كَذَلِكَ قَائِمًا حَتَّى أَضَاءَ الْفَجْرُ، اللهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِكَ فَافْرُجْ عَنَّا فُرْجَةً نَرَى مِنْهَا السَّمَاءَ، فَفَرَجَ لَهُمْ فُرْجَةً رَأَوْا مِنْهَا السَّمَاءَ. وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ: اللهُمَّ إِنَّهَا كَانَتْ لِيَ ابْنَةُ عَمٍّ فَأَحْبَبْتُهَا حَتَّى كَانَتْ أَحَبَّ النَّاسِ إِلِيَّ، فَسَأَلْتُهَا نَفْسَهَا، فَقَالَتْ: لَا، حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنِي بِمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ، فَسَعَيْتُ حَتَّى جَمَعْتُ مِائَةَ دِينَارٍ، فَأَتَيْتُهَا بِهَا، فَلَمَّا كُنْتُ بَيْنَ رِجْلَيْهَا قَالَتِ: اتَّقِ اللهَ، لَا تَفْتَحِ الْخَاتَمَ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهِ، فَقُمْتُ عَنْهَا، اللهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنْي فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِكَ فَافْرُجْ عَنَّا مِنْهَا فُرْجَةً، فَفَرَجَ لَهُمْ مِنْهَا فُرْجَةً. وَقَالَ الثَّالِثُ: اللهُمَّ إِنِّي كُنْتُ اسْتَأْجَرْتُ أَجِيرًا بِفَرَقِ ذُرَةٍ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى عَمَلَهُ عَرَضْتُهُ عَلَيْهِ، فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْخُذَهُ فَرَغِبَ عَنْهُ، فَلَمْ أَزَلْ أَعْتَمِلُ بِهِ حَتَّى جَمَعْتُ مِنْهُ بَقَرًا وَرِعَاءَهَا، فَجَاءَنِي فَقَالَ: اتَّقِ ⦗١٩٥⦘ اللهَ وَأَعْطِنِي حَقِّي وَلَا تَظْلِمْنِي، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: اذْهَبْ إِلَى تِلْكَ الْبَقَرِ وَرِعَائِهَا فَخُذْهَا، فَقَالَ: اتَّقِ اللهَ وَلَا تَهْزَأْ بِي، فَقُلْتُ: إِنِّي لَا أَهْزَأُ بِكَ، اذْهَبْ إِلَى تِلْكَ الْبَقَرِ وَرِعَائِهَا فَخُذْهَا، فَذَهَبَ فَاسْتَاقَهَا، اللهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِكَ فَافْرُجْ عَنَّا مَا بَقِيَ مِنْهَا، فَفَرَجَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَنْهُمْ، فَخَرَجُوا يَتَمَاشَوْنَ " رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ زُهَيْرِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ وَغَيْرِهِ، عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَأَخْرَجَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Three men were walking when the rain overtook them. They took shelter in a cave in a mountain. Meanwhile a rock fell from the mountain and covered the mouth of the cave. They said to one another: 'Recall your best deeds and call upon Allah by them, so that because of them He may remove the rock from you.' One of them said: 'O Allah, my parents were elderly, and I also had a wife and children. I used to herd goats to provide for them. When I returned in the evening, I would give milk to my parents first of all. One day I went far off in search of trees, and when I returned they had both fallen asleep. I cleaned the vessel and milked into it. Then I stood with the milk at my parents' heads while my children were crying at my feet. I disliked to begin with them before my parents, and I disliked to wake them from their sleep. I kept standing until dawn broke. O Allah, You surely know that I did this only for Your pleasure, so remove this rock from us so that we may see the sky.' The rock moved and they saw the sky. The second said: 'O Allah, I had a cousin (my paternal uncle's daughter) whom I loved; she was the dearest of all people to me. I asked her to commit sin with me, and she said: "First bring me a hundred dinars." I strove and gathered a hundred dinars, then came to her. When I sat between her legs, she said: "Fear Allah, and do not break the seal except by its right (through marriage)." So I got up. O Allah, You know that I did this for Your pleasure, so remove this rock from us.' It moved a little more. The third said: 'O Allah, I hired a labourer for a faraq (a measure) of millet. When he finished his work, I offered him his wage, but he refused to take it and turned away from it. I kept working with that wage of his until I gathered from it cows and their herdsmen. That man came and said: "Fear Allah, give me my right and do not wrong me." I said: "Go and take these cows and their herdsmen." He said: "Fear Allah and do not mock me." I said: "I am not mocking you; go and take these cows and their herdsmen." He took them away. O Allah, You know that I did this for Your pleasure, so remove the rest of the rock as well.' Allah Almighty removed that rock too; then they came out and walked on."
