حَدِيثُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ السَّلَمِيِّ، ١٨٩٦٤ - حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ السُّلَمِيِّ، قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ، فَسَمِعَ مُؤَذِّنًا يَقُولُ: أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ "، قَالَ: أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ١٠ " أَشْهَدُ أَنِّي مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللهِ "، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " تَجِدُونَهُ رَاعِيَ غَنَمٍ، أَوْ عَازِبًا عَنْ أَهْلِهِ ". فَلَمَّا هَبَطَ الْوَادِي، قَالَ: مَرَّ عَلَى سَخْلَةٍ مَنْبُوذَةٍ، فَقَالَ: " أَتَرَوْنَ هَذِهِ هَيِّنَةً عَلَى أَهْلِهَا لَلدُّنْيَا أَهْوَنُ عَلَى اللهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا " (١)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Rabee’ah that once the Prophet (peace be upon him) was on a journey. He heard the muezzin saying "Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah" (I bear witness that there is no god but Allah), so he himself said, "Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah." Then when the muezzin said, "Ashhadu anna Muhammadur Rasulullah" (I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah), the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Ashhadu anna Muhammadur Rasulullah." Then he said, "Find out whether this man is a shepherd of goats or someone who has withdrawn from his family." Then, when the Prophet (peace be upon him) descended into the valley, he passed by a dead goat whose skin had been removed and it had been thrown away. The Prophet said, "Do you think that this has become insignificant in the eyes of its owners? As insignificant as this is in the eyes of its owners, the whole world is even more insignificant in the sight of Allah."
