Bayhaqi 18445 — The virtue of standing guard in the way of Allah

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ، أنبأ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَلِيٍّ الْجَنْبِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي رَيْحَانَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزْوَةٍ فَأَوْفَى بِنَا عَلَى شَرَفٍ فَأَصَابَنَا بَرْدٌ شَدِيدٌ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُنَا يَحْفِرُ ⦗٢٥٢⦘ الْحَفِيرَ ثُمَّ يَدْخُلُ فِيهِ وَيُغَطِّي عَلَيْهِ بِحَجْفَتِهِ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَلِكَ مِنَ النَّاسِ قَالَ: " أَلَا رَجُلٌ يَحْرُسُنَا اللَّيْلَةَ أَدْعُو اللهَ لَهُ بِدُعَاءٍ يُصِيبُ بِهِ فَضْلًا؟ " فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ: أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. فَدَعَا لَهُ، قَالَ أَبُو رَيْحَانَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: فَقُلْتُ: أَنَا، فَدَعَا لِي بِدُعَاءٍ هُوَ دُونَ مَا دَعَا بِهِ لِلْأَنْصَارِيِّ، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " حُرِّمَتِ النَّارُ عَلَى عَيْنٍ دَمَعَتْ مِنْ خَشْيَةِ اللهِ، حُرِّمَتِ النَّارُ عَلَى عَيْنٍ سَهِرَتْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ". قَالَ: وَنَسِيتُ الثَّالِثَةَ. قَالَ أَبُو شُرَيْح /٦٣ ٍ وَهُوَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ: وَسَمِعْتُهُ بَعْدُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " حُرِّمَتِ النَّارُ عَلَى عَيْنٍ غَضَّتْ عَنْ مَحَارِمِ اللهِ أَوْ عَيْنٍ فُقِئَتْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ".
Sayyiduna Abu Rayhanah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We went out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on a campaign. We climbed a hilltop and were struck by severe cold; we dug pits, got into them, and covered our heads with leather shields. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw the people in this state, he said: "Is there anyone who will guard us tonight? I will supplicate to Allah for him with a supplication through which he will attain excellence." A man from the Ansar stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I will keep guard. He (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for him. Sayyiduna Abu Rayhanah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I too will keep guard; and he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me a different supplication from that of the Ansari. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hellfire is forbidden for the eye that shed tears out of fear of Allah, and the fire of Hell is also forbidden for the eye that stays awake keeping guard in the path of Allah." The narrator says: I forgot the third thing. Abu Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him), who is Abd al-Rahman bin Shurayh, says: I heard from them afterwards: "The fire of Hell is also forbidden for the eye that is kept away from what Allah has made forbidden, or the eye that is gouged out in the path of Allah."
