حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي أَسْمَاءَ:، ، أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ، وَهُوَ بِالرَّبَذَةِ، وَعِنْدَهُ امْرَأَةٌ لَهُ سَوْدَاءُ مُشْبَعَةٌ (١) لَيْسَ عَلَيْهَا أَثَرُ الْمَجَاسِدِ وَلَا الْخَلُوقِ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: أَلَا تَنْظُرُونَ إِلَى مَا تَأْمُرُنِي بِهِ هَذِهِ السُّوَيْدَاءُ؟ تَأْمُرُنِي أَنْ آتِيَ الْعِرَاقَ، فَإِذَا أَتَيْتُ الْعِرَاقَ مَالُوا عَلَيَّ بِدُنْيَاهُمْ، وَإِنَّ خَلِيلِي صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ: "أَنَّ دُونَ جِسْرِ جَهَنَّمَ طَرِيقًا ذَا دَحْضٍ وَمَزِلَّةٍ، وَإِنَّا نَأْتِي عَلَيْهِ وَفِي أَحْمَالِنَا اقْتِدَارٌ " وَحَدَّثَ مَطَرٌ، أَيْضًا بِالْحَدِيثِ أَجْمَعَ فِي قَوْلِ أَحَدِهِمَا: أَنْ نَأْتِيَ عَلَيْهِ وَفِي أَحْمَالِنَا اقْتِدَارٌ. وَقَالَ الْآخَرَانِ: نَأْتِيَ عَلَيْهِ وَفِي أَحْمَالِنَا اضْطِمَارٌ، (٢) أَحْرَى أَنْ نَنْجُوَ مَنْ أَنْ نَأْتِيَ عَلَيْهِ وَنَحْنُ مَوَاقِيرُ (٣)، ،

Translation

English translation

Abu Asma says that once he entered the house of Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) when he was at the place of Rabdha. His healthy black-skinned wife was also with him, but there were no signs of adornment or fragrance on her. He said to me, "Look at this Abyssinian woman, what does she say to me? She says that I should go to Iraq. When I go to Iraq, the people there will come to me with their worldly possessions. And my beloved Prophet (ﷺ) advised me that there will be a path over the bridge of Hell which will be slippery and unstable. Therefore, when we reach that bridge, it is better that we have nothing heavy in our belongings than to reach there burdened under the weight of our possessions."
