قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَجَدْتُ فِي كِتَابِ أَبِي بِخَطِّ يَدِهِ: كَتَبَ إِلَى الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ أَبُو تَوْبَةَ يَعْنِي الْحَلَبِي فَكَانَ فِي كِتَابِهِ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ زَيْدِ بْنِ سَلَّامٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَلَّامٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي النُّعْمَانُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ إِلَى جَانِبِ مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: مَا أُبَالِي أَنْ لَا أَعْمَلَ بَعْدَ الْإِسْلَامِ، إِلَّا أَنْ أَسْقِيَ الْحَاجَّ، وَقَالَ آخَرُ: مَا أُبَالِ أَنْ لَا أَعْمَلَ عَمَلًا بَعْدَ الْإِسْلَامِ إِلَّا أَنْ أَعْمُرَ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ، وَقَالَ آخَرُ: الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَفْضَلُ مِمَّا قُلْتُمْ، فَزَجَرَهُمْ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ: " لَا تَرْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَكُمْ عِنْدَ مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَهُوَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ، وَلَكِنْ إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ الْجُمُعَةَ دَخَلْتُ، فَاسْتَفْتَيْتُهُ فِيمَا اخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِيهِ " فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ: {أَجَعَلْتُمْ سِقَايَةَ الْحَاجِّ وَعِمَارَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ كَمَنْ آمَنَ بِاللهِ، وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ} [التوبة: ١٩] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ كُلِّهَا (١)، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Nu’man (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was sitting near the pulpit of the Prophet (ﷺ) when a man said, “After accepting Islam, I do not care if I do any deed except that I give water to the pilgrims.” Another said, “I maintain the Sacred Mosque, so after accepting Islam, I do not care about any other deed.” And a third said, “The best of what you have mentioned is Jihad.” Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) scolded them and said, “Do not raise your voices near the pulpit of the Prophet. It was Friday, and after the prayer, I will go to the service of the Prophet (ﷺ) and ask him about the matter in which you are differing.” At that moment, this verse was revealed: “Do you consider the giving of water to the pilgrims and the maintenance and construction of the Sacred Mosque equal to the one who believes in Allah and the Last Day?”
