وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْفَقِيهُ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مِلْحَانَ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، ثنا اللَّيْثُ، حَدَّثَنِي هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ عَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَهُ سَاعِيًا فَقَالَ أَبُوهُ: لَا تَخْرُجْ حَتَّى تُحْدِثَ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَهْدًا فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ الْخُرُوجَ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " يَا قَيْسُ لَا تَأْتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى رَقَبَتِكَ بَعِيرٌ لَهُ رُغَاءٌ أَوْ بَقَرَةٌ لَهَا خُوَارٌ أَوْ شَاةٌ لَهَا يُعَارٌ وَلَا تَكُنْ كَأَبِي رِغَالٍ " فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَمَا أَبُو رِغَالٍ؟ قَالَ: مُصَدِّقٌ بَعَثَهُ صَالِحٌ فَوَجَدَ رَجُلًا بِالطَّائِفِ فِي غَنِيمَةٍ قَرِيبَةٍ مِنَ الْمِائَةِ شِصَاصٍ إِلَّا شَاةً وَاحِدَةً وَابْنُ صَغِيرٍ لَا أُمَّ لَهُ فَلَبَنُ تِلْكَ الشَّاةِ عَيْشُهُ، فَقَالَ صَاحِبُ الْغَنَمِ: مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ: أَنَا رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللهِ، صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ⦗٢٦٦⦘ فَرَحَّبَ وَقَالَ هَذِهِ غَنَمِي فَخُذْ أَيَّمَا أَحْبَبْتَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى الشَّاةِ اللَّبُونِ فَقَالَ: هَذِهِ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: هَذَا الْغُلَامُ كَمَا تَرَى لَيْسَ لَهُ طَعَامٌ وَلَا شَرَابٌ غَيْرُهَا فَقَالَ إِنْ كُنْتَ تُحِبُّ اللَّبَنَ فَأَنَا أُحِبُّهُ، فَقَالَ خُذْ شَاتَيْنِ مَكَانَهَا فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَزِيدُهُ وَيَبْذِلُ حَتَّى بَذَلَ لَهُ خَمْسَ شِيَاهٍ شِصَاصٍ مَكَانَهَا فَأَبَى عَلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ عَمَدَ إِلَى قَوْسِهِ فَرَمَاهُ فَقَتَلَهُ، وَقَالَ: مَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِهَذَا الْخَبَرِ قَبْلِي فَأَتَى صَاحِبُ الْغَنَمِ صَالِحًا النَّبِيَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ صَالِحٌ: اللهُمَّ الْعَنْ أَبَا رِغَالٍ اللهُمَّ الْعَنْ أَبَا رِغَالٍ، فَقَالَ سَعْدُ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، اعْفُ قَيْسًا مِنَ السِّعَايَةِ.
Sayyiduna Qays bin Sa'd bin Ubadah al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent him as a (zakah) collector. His father said to him: Do not leave until you take an instruction from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When he wanted to leave, he came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Qays! Do not come on the Day of Resurrection in such a state that there is a camel on your neck, groaning, or a cow, lowing, or a sheep, bleating; and do not be like Abu Righal." Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! What happened with Abu Righal? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He was a collector whom Salih sent. He found a man in his flock of nearly a hundred sheep, all of them dry except for one sheep, and he had a small son who had no mother; the milk of that sheep was his livelihood. The owner of the sheep said: Who are you? He said: I am the envoy of the Messenger of Allah. So he welcomed him and said: These are my sheep; take whichever you like. He looked at the milch sheep and said: This one. The man said: There is this boy, who, as you see, has nothing to eat or drink other than it. He said: If you love milk, then I too love milk. He said: Then take two sheep in its place. He kept on increasing (his offer) until he offered five dry sheep, but he still refused. When he saw this, he took his bow, shot him and killed him, and said: No one should reach the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with this news before me. So the owner of the sheep came to Salih and informed him, and Salih said: 'Allahumma il'an Aba Righal, Allahumma il'an Aba Righal' (O Allah, curse Abu Righal; O Allah, curse Abu Righal)." Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! Excuse Qays from the collectorship.
