حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ الْهُذَلِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي زِيَادُ بْنُ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ،، ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ: أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ، فَسَارَ بِهِمْ يَوْمَهُمْ أَجْمَعَ، لَا يَحُلُّ لَهُمْ عُقْدَةً، وَلَيْلَتَهُ جَمْعَاءَ لَا يَحُلُّ عُقْدَةً، إِلَّا لِصَلَاةٍ، حَتَّى نَزَلُوا أَوْسَطَ اللَّيْلِ، قَالَ: فَرَقَبَ رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ وَضَعَ رَحْلَهُ، قَالَ: فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَنَظَرْتُ، فَلَمْ أَرَ أَحَدًا إِلَّا نَائِمًا، وَلَا بَعِيرًا إِلَّا وَاضِعًا جِرَانَهُ نَائِمًا، قَالَ: فَتَطَاوَلْتُ فَنَظَرْتُ حَيْثُ وَضَعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَحْلَهُ فَلَمْ أَرَهُ فِي مَكَانِهِ، فَخَرَجْتُ أَتَخَطَّى الرِّحَالَ حَتَّى خَرَجْتُ إِلَى النَّاسِ، ثُمَّ مَضَيْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي فِي سَوَادِ اللَّيْلِ، فَسَمِعْتُ جَرَسًا فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ، فَإِذَا أَنَا بِمُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ وَالْأَشْعَرِيِّ، فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَيْهِمَا، فَقُلْتُ: أَيْنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ؟ فَإِذَا هَزِيزٌ كَهَزِيزِ الرَّحَا فَقُلْتُ: كَأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِنْدَ هَذَا الصَّوْتِ، قَالَا: اقْعُدْ اسْكُتْ فَمَضَى قَلِيلًا فَأَقْبَلَ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَيْنَا، فَقُمْنَا إِلَيْهِ، فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَزِعْنَا إِذْ لَمْ نَرَكَ، وَاتَّبَعْنَا أَثَرَكَ، فَقَالَ: " إِنَّهُ أَتَانِي آتٍ مِنْ رَبِّي فَخَيَّرَنِي بَيْنَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ نِصْفُ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ، وَبَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ، فَاخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ " فَقُلْنَا: نُذَكِّرُكَ اللهَ وَالصُّحْبَةَ إِلَّا جَعَلْتَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ شَفَاعَتِكَ قَالَ: " أَنْتُمْ مِنْهُمْ "، ثُمَّ مَضَيْنَا، فَيَجِيءُ الرَّجُلُ وَالرَّجُلَانِ، فَيُخْبِرُهُمْ بِالَّذِي أَخْبَرَنَا بِهِ فَيُذَكِّرُونَهُ اللهَ وَالصُّحْبَةَ إِلَّا جَعَلَهُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ شَفَاعَتِهِ فَيَقُولُ: " فَإِنَّكُمْ مِنْهُمْ " حَتَّى انْتَهَى النَّاسُ، فَأَضَبُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَقَالُوا: اجْعَلْنَا مِنْهُمْ. قَالَ: " فَإِنِّي أُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنَّهَا لِمَنْ مَاتَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا " (١)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) would camp at any place, his Muhajir companions (may Allah be pleased with them) would be close to him. Once, we camped at a place and the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) stood up for the night prayer while we were sleeping around. Suddenly, I woke up at night and did not find the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) in his sleeping place. I went out in search of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) and saw Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) and Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him). I reached them and asked about the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). Suddenly, we heard a sound like that produced by a millstone, and we stopped in our tracks. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) was coming from the direction of that sound. When he came near, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What happened to you?" We replied, "When we woke up and did not find you in your place, we feared that some harm might have come to you, so we set out to search for you." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A messenger from my Lord came to me and gave me the choice between two things: that half of my Ummah would enter Paradise, or that I would be granted the right of intercession. So I preferred the aspect of intercession." We both said, "O Messenger of Allah! We ask you, by Islam and the right of your companionship, to pray to Allah that He includes us in your intercession." Other people also arrived and began making the same request, and their number increased. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Every person who dies in such a state that he does not associate anyone with Allah will be included in my intercession."
