Bayhaqi 7216 — Walking among the graves in sandals

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو سَهْلٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ النَّحْوِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو قِلَابَةَ، ثنا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، ثنا الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ شَيْبَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي خَالِدُ بْنُ شُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي بَشِيرُ بْنُ نَهِيكٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي بَشِيرٌ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَكَانَ اسْمُهُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ زَحْمَ بْنَ مَعْبَدٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَا اسْمُكَ "؟ قَالَ زَحْمُ بْنُ مَعْبَدٍ، قَالَ: " أَنْتَ بَشِيرٌ " فَكَانَ اسْمَهُ، قَالَ: بَيْنَا أَنَا أُمَاشِي رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: " يَا ابْنَ الْخَصَاصِيَةِ مَا أَصْبَحْتَ تَنْقِمُ عَلَى اللهِ تُمَاشِي رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ "، فَقُلْتُ مَا أَنْقِمُ عَلَى اللهِ شَيْئًا كُلُّ خَيْرٍ فَعَلَ بِيَ اللهُ، فَأَتَى عَلَى قُبُورِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، فَقَالَ: " لَقَدْ سَبَقَ هَؤُلَاءِ بِخَيْرٍ كَثِيرٍ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ " ثُمَّ أَتَى عَلَى قُبُورِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَقَالَ: لَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ هَؤُلَاءِ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ " فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَمْشِي إِذْ حَانَتْ مِنْهُ نَظْرَةٌ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ يَمْشِي بَيْنَ الْقُبُورِ عَلَيْهِ نَعْلَانِ فَقَالَ: " يَا صَاحِبَ السِّبْتِيَّتَيْنِ وَيْحَكَ أَلْقِ سِبْتِيَّتَيْكَ " فَنَظَرَ فَلَمَّا عَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَلَعَ نَعْلَيْهِ. فَرَمَى بِهِمَا هَذَا حَدِيثٌ قَدْ رَوَاهُ جَمَاعَةٌ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ شَيْبَانَ وَلَا يُعْرَفُ إِلَّا بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ.
Bashir bin Nahik reports: Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him), the Companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), whose name in the Jahiliyyah was Zahm bin Ma'bad, narrated to me that he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "What is your name?" He said: Zahm bin Ma'bad. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, rather you are Bashir." So that became his name. He said: Once I was walking with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Ibn al-Khasasiyah! Have you woken up complaining against Allah, while you are walking with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?" I said: I have no complaint against Allah Almighty; my Allah has done me nothing but good. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) came to the graves of the polytheists and said: "These are people whom much good has passed by." He (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated this three times. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) came to the graves of the Muslims and said: "These have attained a great deal of good." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said this three times. He (peace and blessings be upon him) kept walking in this way when his glance fell on a man walking among the graves wearing sandals, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O wearer of the sandals! Woe to you, take off your sandals." When the man looked and saw that it was the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he took off his sandals and threw them away.
