حَدَّثَنَا (٢) الْحَكَمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَنْمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَخْدُمُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ آتِي الْمَسْجِدَ إِذَا، ، أَنَا فَرَغْتُ مِنْ عَمَلِي، فَأَضْطَجِعُ فِيهِ، فَأَتَانِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا وَأَنَا مُضْطَجِعٌ، فَغَمَزَنِي بِرِجْلِهِ، فَاسْتَوَيْتُ جَالِسًا فَقَالَ لِي: "يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ، كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ إِذَا أُخْرِجْتَ مِنْهَا؟ " فَقُلْتُ: أَرْجِعُ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَإِلَى بَيْتِي. قَالَ: "فَكَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ إِذَا أُخْرِجْتَ مِنْهَا؟ " فَقُلْتُ: إِذَنْ آخُذَ بِسَيْفِي، فَأَضْرِبَ بِهِ مَنْ يُخْرِجُنِي. فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَهُ عَلَى مَنْكِبِي، فَقَالَ: "غَفْرًا يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ، ثَلَاثًا، بَلْ تَنْقَادُ مَعَهُمْ حَيْثُ قَادُوكَ، وَتَنْسَاقُ مَعَهُمْ حَيْثُ سَاقُوكَ، وَلَوْ عَبْد (١) أَسْوَدَ " قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ: "فَلَمَّا نُفِيتُ إِلَى الرَّبَذَةِ أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ، فَتَقَدَّمَ رَجُلٌ أَسْوَدُ كَانَ فِيهَا عَلَى نَعَمِ الصَّدَقَةِ، فَلَمَّا رَآنِي أَخَذَ لِيَرْجِعَ وَلِيُقَدِّمَنِي، فَقُلْتُ: كَمَا أَنْتَ، بَلْ أَنْقَادُ لِأَمْرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " (٢)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that I used to serve the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). When I finished my work, I would come to the mosque and lie down. One day, while I was lying down, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) came and nudged me with his blessed foot. I sat up straight. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Abu Dharr! What will you do when you are expelled from Madinah?" I replied, "I will return to Masjid Nabawi and my house." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "And when you are expelled from there as well, what will you do?" I replied, "At that time, I will take my sword and whoever tries to expel me, I will strike him with my sword." Upon hearing this, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) placed his blessed hand on my shoulder and said three times, "Abu Dharr! Be forgiving, go wherever they take you, even if your ruler is an Abyssinian slave." Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) says that when I was exiled to Rabadhah and the prayer was established, a black man who was in charge of the zakat animals stepped forward to lead the prayer. When he saw me, he stepped back and wanted to bring me forward, but I said to him, "You remain in your place; I will act upon the command of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ)."
