حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا طَلْحَةُ بْنُ مُصَرِّفٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْسَجَةَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ: ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: (٤) سَمِعْتُ طَلْحَةَ الْيَامِيَّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْسَجَةَ، قَالَ:، ، سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ يُحَدِّثُ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " مَنْ مَنَحَ مَنِيحَةَ (١) وَرِقٍ، أَوْ هَدَى زُقَاقًا، أَوْ سَقَى لَبَنًا، كَانَ لَهُ عَدْلُ رَقَبَةٍ أَوْ نَسَمَةٍ، وَمَنْ قَالَ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، عَشَرَ مِرَارٍ، كَانَ لَهُ عَدْلُ رَقَبَةٍ أَوْ نَسَمَةٍ "، وَكَانَ يَأْتِينَا إِذَا قُمْنَا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَيَمْسَحُ صُدُورَنَا أَوْ عَوَاتِقَنَا يَقُولُ: " لَا تَخْتَلِفْ صُفُوفُكُمْ فَتَخْتَلِفَ قُلُوبُكُمْ " وَكَانَ يَقُولُ: " إِنَّ اللهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى الصَّفِّ الْأَوَّلِ أَوِ الصُّفُوفِ الْأُوَلِ " وَقَالَ: " زَيِّنُوا الْقُرْآنَ بِأَصْوَاتِكُمْ " كُنْتُ نُسِّيتُهَا، فَذَكَّرَنِيهَا الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ مُزَاحِمٍ (٢)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Bara bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Whoever gives someone a gift, such as silver or gold, or gives someone milk to drink, or gives someone a water-skin, it is as if he has freed a slave. And whoever recites these words: La ilaha illallah wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahu’l-mulk wa lahu’l-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer, it is like freeing a slave. And the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) used to go from one end of the row to the other, straightening the chests and shoulders of the worshippers, and would say: Do not move forward or backward, otherwise differences will arise in your hearts. And he would say: Upon those in the first rows, Allah sends mercy and the angels pray for mercy. And the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Beautify the Qur’an with your voices.
