حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ بْنِ قَعْنَبٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ - يَعْنِي ابْنَ بِلاَلٍ - عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَرَّ بِالسُّوقِ دَاخِلاً مِنْ بَعْضِ الْعَالِيَةِ وَالنَّاسُ كَنَفَتَهُ فَمَرَّ بِجَدْىٍ أَسَكَّ مَيِّتٍ فَتَنَاوَلَهُ فَأَخَذَ بِأُذُنِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ " أَيُّكُمْ يُحِبُّ أَنَّ هَذَا لَهُ بِدِرْهَمٍ " . فَقَالُوا مَا نُحِبُّ أَنَّهُ لَنَا بِشَىْءٍ وَمَا نَصْنَعُ بِهِ قَالَ " أَتُحِبُّونَ أَنَّهُ لَكُمْ " . قَالُوا وَاللَّهِ لَوْ كَانَ حَيًّا كَانَ عَيْبًا فِيهِ لأَنَّهُ أَسَكُّ فَكَيْفَ وَهُوَ مَيِّتٌ فَقَالَ " فَوَاللَّهِ لَلدُّنْيَا أَهْوَنُ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ هَذَا عَلَيْكُمْ " . حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى الْعَنَزِيُّ وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَرْعَرَةَ السَّامِيُّ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ - يَعْنِيَانِ الثَّقَفِيَّ - عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم . بِمِثْلِهِ غَيْرَ أَنَّ فِي حَدِيثِ الثَّقَفِيِّ فَلَوْ كَانَ حَيًّا كَانَ هَذَا السَّكَكُ بِهِ عَيْبًا .
Hazrat Jabir bin Abdullah (ra) relates that the Messenger of Allah (saw) was walking through the market of one of the outlying settlements (of Medina), and the people were at his side. He (saw) passed by a dead kid of a sheep with clipped ears. He (saw) took hold of it by its ear and said: “Which of you would like to take this for one dirham?” They submitted: We would not like to take it for anything; and what would we do with it? He (saw) said: “Would you like to have this?” They said: By Allah, even if it were alive, it would have a defect, because its ears are clipped; so how (could we), when it is dead...? He (saw) said: “By Allah! The world is even more worthless before Allah than this is in your sight.” In another narration (instead of “lau kana hayyan fihi li-annahu asakk”) the words are “fa-lau kana hayyan kana hadhas-sakaku bihi aiban” (even if it were alive, this clipping of the ears would be a defect in it).

Mutarrif relates from his father: I came to the Prophet (saw) while he (saw) was reciting “Mutual rivalry in seeking worldly increase diverts you from God” (Qur’an 102:2). He (saw) said: “The son of Adam says: My wealth, my wealth.” He (saw) said: “O son of Adam! Your wealth is only what you ate and finished, what you wore and wore out, or what you gave in charity (Sadaqah) and sent ahead.” In one narration (instead of “ataitun-Nabiyya (saw)”) the words are “intahaitu ilan-Nabiyyi (saw)” (I reached the Prophet (saw)).

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (ra) relates that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “The servant says: My wealth, my wealth, whereas of his wealth there are only three forms for him: what he ate and finished, what he wore and wore out, or what he gave and stored up (for the Hereafter). And whatever is besides this is going away, and he is leaving it for the people.”

Hazrat Anas bin Malik (ra) relates: The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Three things go with the deceased; two return and one remains. His family, his wealth and his deeds go with him; his family and wealth return, and his deeds remain.”

Hazrat Amr bin Auf (ra), who was an ally of the Banu Amir bin Lu'ayy and was present with the Messenger of Allah (saw) at Badr, relates that the Messenger of Allah (saw) sent Hazrat Abu Ubaidah bin al-Jarrah (ra) to Bahrain to collect the Jizyah. The Messenger of Allah (saw) had made a peace treaty with the people of Bahrain and had appointed Hazrat Ala' Hadrami (ra) as Amir over them. Hazrat Abu Ubaidah (ra) came with wealth from Bahrain. When the Ansar (ra) heard of Hazrat Abu Ubaidah's (ra) arrival, they came (to offer) the Fajr Prayer (Salat) with the Messenger of Allah (saw). When he (saw) had offered the Prayer, he (saw) turned around. They presented themselves before him, and the Messenger of Allah (saw) smiled on seeing them and said: “I think you have heard that Abu Ubaidah (ra) has brought something from Bahrain.” They submitted: Yes, O Messenger of Allah (saw)! He (saw) said: “Be glad and hope for that which will please you. By Allah, it is not poverty that I fear for you; rather, I fear for you that the world will be spread out before you as it was spread out before those who were before you, and then you will compete with one another in it as they did, and it will destroy you as it destroyed them.” In one narration (instead of “wa tuhlikakum kama ahlakat-hum”) the words are “wa tulhiyakum kama alhat-hum” (and it will divert you as it diverted them).

Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (ra) relates that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “When Persia and Rome are conquered at your hands, what kind of people will you become?” Hazrat Abdur-Rahman bin Auf (ra) submitted: We will say what Allah has commanded us. The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Or something else: you will compete with one another, and you will envy one another, then you will cut off relations with one another, and you will bear malice towards one another,” or something like this, and (he (saw) said:) “Then you will go to the poor Emigrants (Muhajirin), then you will make some of them ride upon the necks of others.”

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (ra) relates that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Look at the one who is below you, and do not look at the one who is above you; this is more fitting so that you do not belittle the favour of Allah.” In one narration (after “ni'matallah”) the word “alaikum” (upon you) occurs.

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (ra) relates that he heard the Prophet (saw) say: “Among the Children of Israel there were three men: one was a leper, one bald and one blind. Allah willed to test them. He sent an angel to them. He came to the leper and asked: What thing do you like most? He said: A beautiful colour, a beautiful skin, and that this should go away from me because of which people feel disgust towards me.” He (saw) said: “He (the angel) passed his hand over him, and that disease left him, and he was given a beautiful colour and a beautiful skin. He (the angel) said: Which wealth do you like? He said: Camels, or he said: Cows.” The narrator Ishaq has a doubt in this regard, that one of the two, the leper or the bald man, said camels and the other said cows. He (saw) said: “He was given a she-camel ten months pregnant, and he said: May Allah bless you in it.” He (saw) said: “Then he came to the bald man and said: What do you like most? He said: Beautiful hair, and that this should go away from me because of which people feel disgust towards me.” He (saw) said: “He (the angel) passed his hand over him, and that (disease) left him, and he was given beautiful hair. He (the angel) said: Which wealth do you like? He said: Cows. So he was given a pregnant cow, and he said: May Allah bless you in it.” He (saw) said: “He came to the blind man and said: What do you like most? He said: That Allah should restore my sight to me, so that I can see people.” He (saw) said: “Then he passed his hand over him, and Allah restored his sight to him. He asked: Which wealth do you like more? He said: Goats. So he was given a goat that bore many young. Then those two also bore young, and this one also bore young.” He (saw) said: “So there came to be for one a valley of camels, for one a valley of cows, and for one a valley of goats.” He (saw) said: “Then he (the angel) went to the leper in his (former) form and appearance and said: I am a poor man, and on my journey all my means have gone. So today it is not possible for me to reach (my destination) except through Allah and then through you. I ask you in the name of Him Who has given you a beautiful colour, a beautiful skin and wealth, for one camel which may serve my need on my journey. He said: The obligations are many. Upon this he said: I think I recognise you. Were you not a leper, whom people found disgusting? (Were you not) a poor man to whom Allah has given? He said: I have inherited this wealth from generation to generation. He said: If you are lying, Allah will return you to your former state.” He (saw) said: “He (the angel) came to the bald man in his (former) form and said to him too what he had said to the first, and he gave the same reply that the first had given. Upon this he said: If you are lying, Allah will make you as you were.” He (saw) said: “Then he came to the blind man in his form and appearance and said: I am a poor man, a traveller; all the means of my journey have been cut off. Today it is impossible for me to reach (my destination) except through Allah and then through you. I ask you, for the sake of Him Who restored your sight to you, for a goat which may suffice me on my journey. Upon this he said: I was blind and Allah restored my sight to me. So take whatever you wish and leave whatever you wish. By Allah, today I will not hinder you in anything that you take for the sake of Allah. Upon this he said: Keep your wealth with yourself. (You three) were tested. Allah is pleased with you and displeased with your two companions.”

It is narrated from Amir bin Sa'd that Hazrat Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (ra) was among his camels when his son Umar (ra) came to him. When Hazrat Sa'd (ra) saw him, he said: I seek refuge with Allah from the evil of this rider. He dismounted and said to him: You have come among your camels and sheep and goats and have left the people quarrelling with one another about the kingdom. Upon this Hazrat Sa'd (ra) struck him on his chest and said: Be quiet. I have heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: “Surely Allah loves the servant who is righteous, free of want and hidden (from the eyes of people).”

Hazrat Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (ra) relates: By Allah! I am the first man among the Arabs who shot an arrow in the way of God. And it also happened at times that when we went on a military expedition (Ghazwah) with the Messenger of Allah (saw), we had nothing to eat except the leaves of the Hublah (a wild tree) and of this acacia, so much so that we passed droppings like a goat. Then the Banu Asad began to find fault with me regarding the faith. In that case I would have been a failure and a loser, and my deeds would have gone to waste. In one narration the word “idhan” (in that case) does not occur. In another narration the words are “hatta in kana ahaduna la-yada'u kama tada'ul-anzu ma yakhlituhu bi-shai'in” (so much so that one of us would pass droppings as a goat does, not mixed with anything).

Khalid bin Umair al-Adawi relates: Hazrat Utbah bin Ghazwan (ra) addressed us. He praised and glorified Allah and then said: Now then, the world has announced its end, and it has turned its back swiftly, and nothing of it has remained except as much as a little drink remains in a vessel, which its drinker leaves. You are about to move from here to an everlasting abode, so move on with the best of what you have. For it has been mentioned to us that a stone will be thrown from the edge of Hell; then it will keep falling in it for seventy years and will not reach its bottom. And by Allah, it (Hell) will surely be filled. Do you wonder at this? And we have been told that between two of the leaves of the gates of Paradise, from one leaf to the other, there is a distance of forty years, and surely a day will come upon it when it will be full because of the great number of people. I have seen myself as one of seven with the Messenger of Allah (saw), and at times we had no food except the leaves of trees, so much so that the corners of our mouths became sore. I found a sheet of cloth and tore it into two pieces for myself and Sa'd bin Malik (ra). I made a waist-wrapper (Izar) of half of it, and Sa'd made one of the other half. But today, when any one of us rises in the morning, he is the Amir of some city. And I seek refuge with Allah from considering myself great in my own estimation while being very small in the sight of Allah. There has been no prophethood (in the past) whose influence did not fade away, until its end became kingship. And you will come to know the true state of affairs, and you will gain experience of the rulers after us. Another narration is narrated from Khalid bin Umair, who had seen the time of Jahiliyyah. He relates that Hazrat Utbah bin Ghazwan (ra) gave an address, and he was the Amir of Basrah.

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (ra) relates that people submitted: O Messenger of Allah (saw)! Will we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection? He (saw) said: “Do you have any difficulty in seeing the sun at midday when it is not in a cloud?” They submitted: No. He (saw) said: “Do you have any difficulty in seeing the moon on the fourteenth night when it is not in any cloud?” They submitted: No. He (saw) said: “By Him in Whose hand is my life, just as you feel no difficulty in seeing either of them, so you will feel no difficulty in seeing your Lord.” He (saw) said: “Then He will meet the servant and will say: O so-and-so! Did I not honour you and give you leadership? Did I not get you married? And did I not make horses and camels subservient to you? And did I not give you the opportunity to rule and to flourish? He will say: Yes indeed.” Then he (saw) said: “Allah will say: Did you think that you would meet Me? He will say: No. Then Allah will say: Today I too forget you just as you forgot Me. Then He will meet the second and will say: O so-and-so! Did I not honour you and give you leadership? Did I not get you married? And did I not make horses and camels subservient to you? And did I not give you the opportunity to rule and to flourish? He will say: Yes indeed.” Then he (saw) said: “Allah will say: Did you think that you were going to meet Me? He will say: No. Then Allah will say: Today I too forget you just as you forgot Me. Then He will meet the third and will say the same to him. He will say: O my Lord! I believed in You, in Your Book and in Your Messengers. I offered the Prayer (Salat), I kept the fast and I gave charity (Sadaqah), and he will praise himself as well as he can. He (Allah) will say: Then stay right here.” He (saw) said: “Then it will be said to him: Now We will raise up Our witness against you. He will think in his heart: Who is it that will bear witness against me? Then a seal will be set upon his mouth, and then it will be said to his thigh, his flesh and his bones: Speak. So his thigh, his flesh and his bones will state his deeds. And this will be so that he will have no excuse. And this is the hypocrite, and this is the one with whom Allah is angry.”

Did You not grant me Your protection from injustice?” He (saw) said: “He will say: Yes indeed.” He (saw) said: “He (the servant) will say: I do not see the testimony of anyone against me as permissible except one who is from myself.” He (saw) said: “Allah will say: Today your own self suffices as a witness against you, and the noble scribes are witnesses.” He (saw) said: “Then a seal will be set upon his mouth, and it will be said to his limbs: Speak.” He (saw) said: “Then they will speak about his deeds.” And he (saw) said: “Then he will be allowed to speak.” He (saw) said: “Then he will say: Away with you, may you perish. It was for you that I used to argue.”
