Bayhaqi 17720 — The beginning of creation

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْمُزَكِّي، أنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، أنبأ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ خَبَّابٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: شَكَوْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ مُتَوَسِّدٌ بُرْدَةً لَهُ فِي ظِلِّ الْكَعْبَةِ، فَقُلْنَا: أَلَا تَدْعُو اللهَ لَنَا أَلَا تَسْتَنْصِرُ اللهَ لَنَا قَالَ: فَجَلَسَ مُحْمَرًّا وَجْهُهُ، قَالَ: " وَاللهِ إِنَّ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ لَيُؤْخَذُ الرَّجُلُ فَيُحْفَرُ لَهُ الْحُفْرَةُ فَيُوضَعُ الْمِنْشَارُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ فَيُشَقُّ بِاثْنَتَيْنِ مَا يَصْرِفُهُ عَنْ دِينِهِ، أَوْ يُمْشَطُ بِأَمْشَاطِ الْحَدِيدِ مَا بَيْنَ عَصَبِهِ وَلَحْمِهِ مَا يَصْرِفُهُ عَنْ دِينِهِ، وَلَيُتِمَّنَّ اللهُ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ حَتَّى يَسِيرَ الرَّاكِبُ مِنْكُمْ مِنْ صَنْعَاءَ إِلَى حَضْرَمَوْتَ لَا يَخْشَى إِلَّا اللهَ أَوِ الذِّئْبَ عَلَى غَنَمِهِ وَلَكِنَّكُمْ تَعْجَلُونَ ". أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ.
Sayyiduna Khabbab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We complained (of our hardship) to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was reclining on his cloak in the shade of the Ka'bah. We said: Why do you not pray to Allah Almighty for us? Why do you not ask Allah to help us? His (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed face turned red and he sat up straight. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By Allah! Among the (believing) people before you, a man would be seized and a pit would be dug for him. Then a saw would be placed on his head and he would be cut into two pieces, yet even this would not turn him away from his religion; and he would be raked with iron combs between his sinews and his flesh, yet even this torment would not keep him from his religion. And Allah Almighty will most certainly make this religion prevail and complete it, until a rider among you will travel from San'a to Hadramawt fearing no one but Allah, nor (fearing) the wolf for his sheep; but you are in a hurry."
