حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: بَيْنَا نَحْنُ صُفُوفًا خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الظُّهْرِ أَوِ الْعَصْرِ، إِذْ رَأَيْنَاهُ يَتَنَاوَلُ شَيْئًا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَهُوَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ لِيَأْخُذَهُ، ثُمَّ تَنَاوَلَهُ لِيَأْخُذَهُ، ثُمَّ حِيلَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُ، ثُمَّ تَأَخَّرَ وَتَأَخَّرْنَا، ثُمَّ تَأَخَّرَ الثَّانِيَةَ وَتَأَخَّرْنَا، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَالَ أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ،: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، رَأَيْنَاكَ الْيَوْمَ تَصْنَعُ فِي صَلَاتِكَ شَيْئًا لَمْ تَكُنْ تَصْنَعُهُ. قَالَ: "إِنَّهُ (٢) عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ الْجَنَّةُ بِمَا فِيهَا مِنَ الزَّهْرَةِ، فَتَنَاوَلْتُ قِطْفًا مِنْ عِنَبِهَا لِآتِيَكُمْ بِهِ، وَلَوْ أَخَذْتُهُ لَأَكَلَ مِنْهُ مَنْ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلَا يَتَنَقَّصُونَهُ، (٣) فَحِيلَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ، وَعُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ النَّارُ، فَلَمَّا وَجَدْتُ حَرَّ شُعَاعِهَا تَأَخَّرْتُ، وَأَكْثَرُ مَنْ رَأَيْتُ، ، فِيهَا النِّسَاءُ اللَّاتِي إِنْ اؤْتُمِنَّ أَفْشَيْنَ، وَإِنْ سَأَلْنَ أَحْفَيْنَ، قَالَ زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ عَدِيٍّ: أَلْحَفْنَ، وَإِنْ أُعْطِينَ لَمْ يَشْكُرْنَ، وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا لُحَيَّ بْنَ عَمْرٍو (١) يَجُرُّ قُصْبَهُ، وَأَشْبَهُ مَنْ رَأَيْتُ بِهِ مَعْبَدُ بْنُ أَكْثَمَ " (٢) قَالَ مَعْبَدٌ: أَيْ رَسُولَ اللهِ، يُخْشَى عَلَيَّ مِنْ شَبَهِهِ، فَإِنَّهُ وَالِدٌ؟ قَالَ: "لَا، أَنْتَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَهُوَ كَافِرٌ، وَهُوَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ جَمَعَ الْعَرَبَ عَلَى الْأَصْنَامِ " (٣)،
Translation

It is narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were standing in rows with the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) for the Zuhr or Asr prayer, when it seemed as if the Prophet (ﷺ) was reaching out to grab something, then he began to move back, so the people also moved back. After the prayer was finished, Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted, "Today you did something which you have never done before?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Paradise was presented before me with all its splendors. I wanted to pluck a bunch of grapes to give to you, but then something came between us. If I had brought it to you, and all the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth had eaten from it, it would not have diminished in the least. Then Hell was presented before me. When I felt its blaze, I moved back, and I saw that the majority of its inhabitants were women, who, if entrusted with a secret, reveal it; if asked for something, act with miserliness; and if they ask for something themselves, they insist greatly (and if they receive it, they do not show gratitude). There I saw Luhay bin Amr, who was dragging his intestines in Hell, and I saw Ma'bad bin Aktham Ka'bi, who resembled him the most." Upon this, Ma'bad said, "O Messenger of Allah! Is there any harm to me in this resemblance?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No, you are a Muslim and he was a disbeliever, and he was the first person who gathered the Arabs upon idol worship."
