Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ دَاوُدَ بْنَ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَرْبِ بْنِ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ الدِّيلِيِّ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ: أَتَانِي نَبِيُّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا نَائِمٌ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْمَدِينَةِ، فَضَرَبَنِي بِرِجْلِهِ، فَقَالَ: "أَلَا أَرَاكَ نَائِمًا فِيهِ؟ " قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، غَلَبَتْنِي عَيْنِي. قَالَ: "كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ إِذَا أُخْرِجْتَ مِنْهُ؟ " قَالَ: آتِي الشَّامَ الْأَرْضَ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ الْمُبَارَكَةَ. قَالَ: "كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ إِذَا أُخْرِجْتَ مِنَ الشَّامِ؟ " قَالَ: أَعُودُ إِلَيْهِ. قَالَ (١) : "كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ إِذَا أُخْرِجْتَ مِنْهُ؟ " قَالَ: مَا أَصْنَعُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، أَضْرِبُ بِسَيْفِي؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَأَقْرَبُ رُشْدًا؟ تَسْمَعُ وَتُطِيعُ، وَتَنْسَاقُ لَهُمْ حَيْثُ سَاقُوكَ " (٢)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he was sleeping in the Prophet’s Mosque when the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) came to him, shook him by the foot, and said, “Do I not see you sleeping here?” I replied, “O Prophet of Allah! I dozed off.” The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, “What will you do when you are expelled from here?” I replied, “I will go to the sacred and blessed land of Shaam.” The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, “And if you are expelled from there as well, what will you do?” I replied, “O Prophet of Allah, what else can I do? I will fight with my sword.” The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Shall I not tell you a better way than this? Listen to them, obey them, and go wherever they take you.”
