Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ كَانَ اسْمُهُ زَاهِرًا، وَكَانَ يُهْدِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْهَدِيَّةَ مِنَ الْبَادِيَةِ، فَيُجَهِّزُهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ زَاهِرًا بَادِيَتُنَا، وَنَحْنُ حَاضِرُوهُ ". وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُحِبُّهُ، وَكَانَ رَجُلًا دَمِيمًا، فَأَتَاهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا وَهُوَ يَبِيعُ مَتَاعَهُ، فَاحْتَضَنَهُ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَلَا يُبْصِرُهُ الرَّجُلُ، فَقَالَ: أَرْسِلْنِي (٢) مَنْ هَذَا، فَالْتَفَتَ فَعَرَفَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَجَعَلَ لَا يَأْلُو مَا أَلْصَقَ ظَهْرَهُ بِصَدْرِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، حِينَ عَرَفَهُ، وَجَعَلَ، ، النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَنْ يَشْتَرِي الْعَبْدَ؟ " فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِذًا وَاللهِ تَجِدُنِي كَاسِدًا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَكِنْ عِنْدَ اللهِ لَسْتَ بِكَاسِدٍ أَوْ قَالَ: " لَكِنْ عِنْدَ اللهِ أَنْتَ غَالٍ " (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Bedouin, whose name was Zahir, used to bring some gift for the Prophet (ﷺ) whenever he came from the village, and when he was about to return, the Prophet (ﷺ) would give him many things and send him off. The Prophet (ﷺ) used to say, "Zahir is our village and we are his city." The Prophet (ﷺ) loved him, even though in terms of appearance he was not attractive. One day, Zahir was standing by his goods, selling them, when the Prophet (ﷺ) came from behind and embraced him, placing his hands over his eyes. He began to say, "Who is it? Let me go." Then he realized and recognized the Prophet (ﷺ), and he began to press his back closer to the chest of the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) started calling out, "Who will buy this slave?" He said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! You will find me to be a worthless coin." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "But you are not worthless in the sight of Allah; rather, you have great value."
