حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ رُبَيْحِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: كُنَّا نَتَنَاوَبُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَنَبِيتُ عِنْدَهُ تَكُونُ لَهُ الْحَاجَةُ، أَوْ يَطْرُقُهُ أَمْرٌ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، فَيَبْعَثُنَا فَيُكْثِرُ الْمُحْتَسِبِينَ، (٤)، ، وَأَهْلُ النُّوَبِ، فَكُنَّا نَتَحَدَّثُ فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ: " مَا هَذِهِ النَّجْوَى؟ أَلَمْ أَنْهَكُمْ عَنِ النَّجْوَى " قَالَ: قُلْنَا نَتُوبُ إِلَى اللهِ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، إِنَّمَا كُنَّا فِي ذِكْرِ الْمَسِيحِ فَرَقًا (١) مِنْهُ، فَقَالَ: " أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِمَا هُوَ أَخْوَفُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنَ الْمَسِيحِ عِنْدِي " قَالَ: قُلْنَا: بَلَى، قَالَ: " الشِّرْكُ الْخَفِيُّ: أَنْ يَقُومَ الرَّجُلُ يَعْمَلُ لِمَكَانِ رَجُلٍ " (٢)، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that we used to take turns staying with the Prophet (ﷺ) at night, so that if the Prophet (ﷺ) needed anything or had any work at night, he could send us. Sometimes, a considerable number of those seeking this reward and those whose turn it was would gather together, and in such a situation, we would talk among ourselves. Once, during the night, the Prophet (ﷺ) came to us and said, "What are these whispers? Did I not forbid you from whispering?" We said, "O Messenger of Allah! We repent. Actually, we were mentioning Dajjal and we are afraid of him." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Shall I not tell you something which, in my view, is more dangerous for you than Dajjal?" We said, "Why not?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It is hidden shirk: that a person stands up for an action because of another person."
