حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُخْتَارُ بْنُ فُلْفُلٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ، وَقَدِ انْصَرَفَ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ، فَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ: " يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنِّي إِمَامُكُمْ فَلَا تَسْبِقُونِي بِالرُّكُوعِ وَلَا بِالسُّجُودِ، وَلَا بِالْقِيَامِ وَلَا بِالْقُعُودِ وَلَا بِالِانْصِرَافِ، فَإِنِّي أَرَاكُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِي، وَمِنْ خَلْفِي، وَايْمُ الَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَوْ رَأَيْتُمْ مَا رَأَيْتُ، لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلًا، وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا " قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا رَأَيْتَ؟ قَالَ: " رَأَيْتُ الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ " (١)، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day the Prophet (ﷺ) turned towards us after finishing the prayer and said: O people! I am your Imam, so do not go ahead of me in bowing, prostration, standing, sitting, or ending the prayer, because I see you from in front of me as well as from behind me. And by the One in Whose hand is my soul, if you had seen what I have seen, you would laugh little and weep much. The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked: O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! What have you seen? He replied: I have seen Paradise and Hell with my own eyes.
