حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمِنْهَالِ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ قَالَ: كَانَ مِنَّا مَعْشَرَ الْأَشْعَرِيِّينَ رَجُلٌ قَدْ صَاحَبَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَشَهِدَ مَعَهُ الْمَشَاهِدَ الْحَسَنَةَ الْجَمِيلَةَ قَالَ عَوْفٌ: حَسِبْتُ أَنَّهُ، يُقَالُ لَهُ مَالِكٌ أَوْ أَبُو مَالِكٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَقْوَامًا مَا هُمْ بِأَنْبِيَاءَ وَلَا شُهَدَاءَ يَغْبِطُهُمُ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ وَالشُّهَدَاءُ بِمَكَانِهِمْ مِنَ اللهِ " (١)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Abu Malik Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was present in the service of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) when this verse was revealed: "O you who believe, do not ask about things..." At that time, we were asking questions to the Holy Prophet (ﷺ). Meanwhile, the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said that there are some servants of Allah who will neither be prophets nor martyrs, but on the Day of Resurrection, due to their closest seat to Allah, even the prophets and martyrs will envy them.
