حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ بْنِ مَعْقِلِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَعْقِلٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ وَهْبًا، يَقُولُ: حَدَّثَنِي النُّعْمَانُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَذْكُرُ الرَّقِيمَ فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ ثَلَاثَةً نَفَرٍ (٢) كَانُوا فِي كَهْفٍ، فَوَقَعَ الْجَبَلُ عَلَى بَابِ الْكَهْفِ، فَأُوصِدَ عَلَيْهِمْ، قَالَ قَائِلٌ مِنْهُمْ: تَذَاكَرُوا (٣) أَيُّكُمْ عَمِلَ حَسَنَةً، لَعَلَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِرَحْمَتِهِ يَرْحَمُنَا، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ: قَدْ، ، عَمِلْتُ حَسَنَةً مَرَّةً: كَانَ لِي أُجَرَاءُ يَعْمَلُونَ، فَجَاءَنِي عُمَّالٌ لِي، اسْتَأْجَرْتُ كُلَّ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ بِأَجْرٍ مَعْلُومٍ، فَجَاءَنِي رَجُلٌ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَسَطَ النَّهَارِ، فَاسْتَأْجَرْتُهُ بِشَرْطِ (١) أَصْحَابِهِ، فَعَمِلَ فِي بَقِيَّةِ نَهَارِهِ، كَمَا عَمِلَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ فِي نَهَارِهِ كُلِّهِ، فَرَأَيْتُ عَلَيَّ فِي الذِّمَامِ (٢) أَنْ لَا أُنْقِصَهُ مِمَّا اسْتَأْجَرْتُ بِهِ أَصْحَابَهُ، لِمَا جَهِدَ فِي عَمَلِهِ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ: أَتُعْطِي هَذَا مِثْلَ مَا أَعْطَيْتَنِي وَلَمْ يَعْمَلْ إِلَّا نِصْفَ نَهَارٍ؟ فَقُلْتُ: يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ، لَمْ أَبْخَسْكَ شَيْئًا مِنْ شَرْطِكَ، وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ مَالِي أَحْكُمُ فِيهِ مَا شِئْتُ، قَالَ: فَغَضِبَ، وَذَهَبَ، وَتَرَكَ أَجْرَهُ، قَالَ: فَوَضَعْتُ حَقَّهُ فِي جَانِبٍ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ، ثُمَّ مَرَّتْ بِي بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بَقَرٌ، فَاشْتَرَيْتُ بِهِ فَصِيلَةً مِنَ الْبَقَرِ، فَبَلَغَتْ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ، فَمَرَّ بِي بَعْدَ حِينٍ شَيْخًا ضَعِيفًا (٣) لَا أَعْرِفُهُ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ لِي عِنْدَكَ حَقًّا فَذَكَّرَنِيهِ (٤) حَتَّى عَرَفْتُهُ، فَقُلْتُ: إِيَّاكَ أَبْغِي، هَذَا حَقُّكَ، فَعَرَضْتُهَا عَلَيْهِ جَمِيعَهَا، فَقَالَ: يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ، لَا تَسْخَرْ بِي إِنْ لَمْ تَصَدَّقْ عَلَيَّ، فَأَعْطِنِي حَقِّي، قَالَ: وَاللهِ مَا أَسْخَرُ (٥)، ، بِكَ: إِنَّهَا لَحَقُّكَ مَا لِي مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ: فَدَفَعْتُهَا إِلَيْهِ جَمِيعًا. اللهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتُ فَعَلْتُ (١) ذَلِكَ لِوَجْهِكَ، فَافْرُجْ عَنَّا. قَالَ: فَانْصَدَعَ الْجَبَلُ حَتَّى رَأَوْا مِنْهُ، وَأَبْصَرُوا. قَالَ الْآخَرُ: قَدْ عَمِلْتُ حَسَنَةً مَرَّةً كَانَ لِي فَضْلٌ، فَأَصَابَتِ النَّاسَ شِدَّةٌ، فَجَاءَتْنِي امْرَأَةٌ تَطْلُبُ مِنِّي مَعْرُوفًا، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: وَاللهِ مَا هُوَ دُونَ نَفْسِكِ، فَأَبَتْ عَلَيَّ، فَذَهَبَتْ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَتْ، فَذَكَّرَتْنِي بِاللهِ، فَأَبَيْتُ عَلَيْهَا وَقُلْتُ: لَا وَاللهِ مَا هُوَ دُونَ نَفْسِكِ، فَأَبَتْ عَلَيَّ، وَذَهَبَتْ، فَذَكَرَتْ لِزَوْجِهَا، فَقَالَ لَهَا: أَعْطِيهِ نَفْسَكِ، وَأَغْنِي عِيَالَكِ، فَرَجَعَتْ إِلَيَّ، فَنَاشَدَتْنِي بِاللهِ، فَأَبَيْتُ عَلَيْهَا، وَقُلْتُ: وَاللهِ مَا هُوَ دُونَ نَفْسِكِ، فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ ذَلِكَ أَسْلَمَتْ إِلَيَّ نَفْسَهَا، فَلَمَّا تَكَشَّفْتُهَا، وَهَمَمْتُ بِهَا، ارْتَعَدَتْ مِنْ تَحْتِي، فَقُلْتُ لَهَا: مَا شَأْنُكِ؟ قَالَتْ: أَخَافُ اللهَ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ، قُلْتُ: لَهَا خِفْتِيهِ فِي الشِّدَّةِ، وَلَمْ أَخَفْهُ فِي الرَّجَاءِ. فَتَرَكْتُهَا وَأَعْطَيْتُهَا مَا يَحِقُّ عَلَيَّ بِمَا تَكَشَّفْتُهَا. اللهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتُ فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ لِوَجْهِكَ، فَافْرُجْ عَنَّا. قَالَ: فَانْصَدَعَ حَتَّى عَرَفُوا وَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ. قَالَ الْآخَرُ: عَمِلْتُ حَسَنَةً مَرَّةً، كَانَ لِي أَبَوَانِ شَيْخَانِ كَبِيرَانِ، وَكَانَتْ لِي غَنَمٌ، فَكُنْتُ أُطْعِمُ أَبَوَيَّ وَأَسْقِيهِمَا، ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ إِلَى، ، غَنَمِي، قَالَ: فَأَصَابَنِي يَوْمًا غَيْثٌ (١) حَبَسَنِي، فَلَمْ أَبْرَحْ حَتَّى أَمْسَيْتُ، فَأَتَيْتُ أَهْلِي وَأَخَذْتُ مِحْلَبِي، فَحَلَبْتُ وَغَنَمِي قَائِمَةٌ، فَمَضَيْتُ إِلَى أَبَوَيَّ، فَوَجَدْتُهُمَا قَدْ نَامَا، فَشَقَّ عَلَيَّ أَنْ أُوقِظَهُمَا وَشَقَّ عَلَيَّ أَنْ أَتْرُكَ غَنَمِي، فَمَا بَرِحْتُ جَالِسًا، وَمِحْلَبِي عَلَى يَدِي حَتَّى أَيْقَظَهُمَا الصُّبْحُ، فَسَقَيْتُهُمَا. اللهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتُ فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ لِوَجْهِكَ، فَافْرُجْ عَنَّا " قَالَ النُّعْمَانُ: لَكَأَنِّي أَسْمَعُ هَذِهِ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، " قَالَ الْجَبَلُ: طَاقْ، فَفَرَّجَ اللهُ عَنْهُمْ (٢) ، فَخَرَجُوا " (٣)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

Narrated from Nu’man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: In times past, three men were traveling when it began to rain. The three of them took shelter in a cave on a mountain. A rock fell from above and blocked the entrance of the cave. They said to one another, “By Allah, you will not be saved from here except by expressing the truth. Therefore, let each person present a truthful deed he has done, and pray to Allah.” After agreeing on this, one man said, “Once I did a good deed. I had some laborers working for me, and I had hired each of them for an agreed wage. One day, a laborer came to me at midday. I hired him for the same wage as those who had been working since morning, and he worked for the rest of the day like the others. When it was time to pay the wages, one of the men said, ‘He only worked from midday, and you are giving him the same wage as me?’ I said to him, ‘Servant of Allah! I have not reduced your right in any way. This is my wealth; I can decide as I wish.’ At this, he became angry and left, even leaving his wage behind. I took his due and put it in a corner of my house. After some time, a calf passed by me, and I bought it with that money. The calf grew and became a whole herd. After some time, the man became very old and came to me to claim his wage. I said, ‘Take these cows and oxen.’ He said, ‘Don’t joke with me, give me my right.’ I replied, ‘I am not joking with you; this is your right. Take these cows and oxen.’ O Allah! If in Your knowledge I did this only out of fear of You, then remove this calamity from us.” By the blessing of his prayer, the rock moved a little. The second man said, “O Allah! You know that there was a woman who was dearest to me. I tried to seduce her, but she refused unless I gave her one hundred dinars. I managed to collect one hundred dinars and gave them to her. She surrendered herself to me, and when I sat between her legs, she said, ‘Fear Allah, and do not break the seal except with right.’ I immediately stood up and left her the hundred dinars. O Allah! If my action was only out of fear of You, then remove this calamity from us.” The rock moved further, and they began to see outside. The third man said, “O Allah! You know that my parents were very old. Every evening, I would milk my goats and give them the milk. One day, I was delayed (in returning from the forest), and when I arrived, they were asleep. My wife and children were crying from hunger, but my rule was that I would not give them milk until my parents had drunk. I was perplexed; it did not seem right to wake them, nor did it seem good to leave them hungry and weak until morning. So I stood waiting for them to wake up until morning. O Allah! If in Your knowledge I did this out of fear of You, then remove this calamity from us.” Immediately, the rock opened, the sky became visible to them, and they came out.
