حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قَبِيلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نَاشِرٍ مِنْ بَنِي سَرِيعٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا رُهْمٍ قَاصَّ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: " إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ خَيَّرَنِي بَيْنَ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا يَدْخَلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ عَفْوًا بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ، وَبَيْنَ الْخَبِيئَةِ عِنْدَهُ لِأُمَّتِي "، فَقَالَ لَهُ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَيُخَبِّئُ ذَلِكَ رَبُّكَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ وَهُوَ يُكَبِّرُ، فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ رَبِّي زَادَنِي مَعَ كُلِّ أَلْفٍ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا وَالْخَبِيئَةُ عِنْدَهُ "، قَالَ أَبُو رُهْمٍ: يَا أَبَا أَيُّوبَ، وَمَا تَظُنُّ خَبِيئَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ فَأَكَلَهُ النَّاسُ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ فَقَالُوا: وَمَا أَنْتَ وَخَبِيئَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ: دَعُوا الرَّجُلَ عَنْكُمْ أُخْبِرْكُمْ عَنْ خَبِيئَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَمَا أَظُنُّ، بَلْ كَالْمُسْتَيْقِنِ: إِنَّ خَبِيئَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَقُولَ: " رَبِّ مَنْ شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ مُصَدِّقًا لِسَانَهُ قَلْبُهُ أَدْخِلْهُ الْجَنَّةَ " (١)، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) came to his companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and said: "Your Lord has given me the choice of two things: either seventy thousand people will enter Paradise without any reckoning, with complete forgiveness, or I may reserve my right concerning my Ummah." One of the companions (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Can anything be reserved with Allah?" Upon this, the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) went inside. After a short while, he came out saying "Allahu Akbar" and said: "My Lord has promised seventy thousand with every thousand, and with Him my right is also reserved." The narrator of the hadith, Abu Ruhm, asked Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him), "O Abu Ayyub, in your opinion, what is that reserved right of the Prophet (ﷺ)?" Hearing this, people looked at him with devouring eyes and said, "What concern do you have with the reserved right of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ)?" Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O leave it, I will tell you according to my estimation, rather with certainty, that the reserved right of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) is this: O Lord! Whoever bears witness that there is no deity except Allah, He is alone, He has no partner, and that Muhammad (ﷺ) is His servant and Messenger, and his heart confirms what his tongue says, then grant him entry into Paradise."
