Hadith of Jabir ibn Atik (may Allah be pleased with him)

حَدِيثُ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ (١)، ٢٣٧٤٧ - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ يَعْنِي الصَّوَّافَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ ابْنِ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيه، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ مِنَ الْغَيْرَةِ مَا يُحِبُّ اللهُ، وَمِنْهَا مَا يُبْغِضُ اللهُ، وَمِنَ الْخُيَلَاءِ مَا يُحِبُّ اللهُ، وَمِنْهَا مَا يُبْغِضُ اللهُ، فَأَمَّا الْغَيْرَةُ الَّتِي يُحِبُّ اللهُ، فَالْغَيْرَةُ فِي رِيبَةٍ، وَأَمَّا الَّتِي يُبْغِضُ اللهُ، فَالْغَيْرَةُ فِي غَيْرِ الرِّيبَةِ، وَأَمَّا الْخُيَلَاءُ الَّتِي يُحِبُّ اللهُ أَنْ يَتَخَيَّلَ الْعَبْدُ بِنَفْسِهِ لِلَّهِ عِنْدَ الْقِتَالِ، وَأَنْ يَتَخَيَّلَ بِالصَّدَقَةِ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Jabir bin Atik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Some types of jealousy are beloved to Allah and some are disliked by Allah. Similarly, some types of pride are beloved to Allah and some are disliked. Thus, the jealousy that is beloved to Allah is in matters where there is a legitimate cause, and the disliked jealousy is that in which there is no aspect of doubt. And the pride that is beloved to Allah is when a person distinguishes himself for the sake of Allah’s pleasure at the time of fighting (in battle) and in giving charity and alms. (And the disliked pride is that which is only for boasting or rebellion.)

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَرْبٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ شَدَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْقُرَشِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَي ابْنُ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ أَخْبَرَهُ، وَكَانَ أَبُوهُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِنَّ مِنَ الْغَيْرَةِ " فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ وَقَالَ: " الْخُيَلَاءُ الَّتِي يُحِبُّ اللهُ اخْتِيَالُ الرَّجُلِ فِي الْقِتَالِ، وَاخْتِيَالُهُ فِي الصَّدَقَةِ، وَالْخُيَلَاءُ الَّتِي يُبْغِضُ اللهُ الْخُيَلَاءُ فِي الْبَغْيِ " أَوْ قَالَ: " فِي الْفَخْرِ " (١)،

It is narrated from Jabir bin Atik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Some types of jealousy are beloved to Allah and some are disliked by Allah. Similarly, some types of pride are beloved to Allah and some are disliked. Thus, the jealousy that is beloved to Allah is in matters where there is a legitimate cause, and the disliked jealousy is that in which there is no aspect of doubt. And the pride that is beloved to Allah is when a person distinguishes himself for the sake of Allah’s pleasure at the time of fighting (in battle) and in giving charity and alms. (And the disliked pride is that which is only for boasting or rebellion.)

قَرَأْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَهْدِيٍّ: مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ابْنِ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: جَاءَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، فِي بَنِي مُعَاوِيَةَ قَرْيَةٍ مِنْ قُرَى الْأَنْصَارِ، فَقَالَ لِي: هَلْ تَدْرِي أَيْنَ صَلَّى، ، رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ مَسْجِدِكُمْ هَذَا؟ فَقُلْتُ: نَعَمْ فَأَشَرْتُ لَهُ إِلَى نَاحِيَةٍ مِنْهُ، فَقَالَ: هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا الثَّلَاثُ الَّتِي دَعَا بِهِنَّ فِيهِ؟، فَقُلْتُ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: فَأَخْبِرْنِي بِهِنَّ فَقُلْتُ: " دَعَا بِأَنْ لَا يُظْهِرَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ غَيْرِهِمْ، وَلَا يُهْلِكَهُمْ بِالسِّنِينَ فَأُعْطِيَهُمَا، وَدَعَا بِأَنْ لَا يَجْعَلَ بَأْسَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ: فَمَنَعَنِيهَا " (١) قَالَ: صَدَقْتَ، فَلَا يَزَالُ الْهَرْجُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Jabir bin Atik (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) came to us in Banu Muawiyah, which is a settlement of the Ansar, and said to me, "Do you know where the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) prayed in your mosque?" I said, "Yes!" and pointed towards a corner of the mosque. Then he said, "Do you know what three things the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) prayed for here?" I said, "Yes!" He said, "Tell me, what are they?" I said, "The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) prayed that Allah would not impose any external enemy upon the Muslims and that He would not destroy them through famine. Both these prayers were accepted. And the third prayer was that fighting would not break out among them, but Allah did not accept this prayer." Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said, "You have stated correctly. Killing and bloodshed will continue like this until the Day of Judgment."

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَنَّ ابْنَ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ، حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ مِنَ الْغَيْرَةِ مَا يُحِبُّ اللهُ، وَمِنْهَا مَا يُبْغِضُ اللهُ، وَمِنَ الْخُيَلَاءِ مَا يُحِبُّ اللهُ، وَمِنْهَا مَا يُبْغِضُ اللهُ، فَالْغَيْرَةُ الَّتِي يُحِبُّ اللهُ الْغَيْرَةُ فِي الرِّيبَةِ، وَالْغَيْرَةُ الَّتِي يُبْغِضُ اللهُ الْغَيْرَةُ فِي غَيْرِ رِيبَةٍ، وَالْخُيَلَاءُ الَّتِي يُحِبُّ اللهُ اخْتِيَالُ الْعَبْدِ بِنَفْسِهِ لِلَّهِ عِنْدَ الْقِتَالِ، وَاخْتِيَالُهُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ، وَالْخُيَلَاءُ الَّتِي يُبْغِضُ اللهُ، ، الْخُيَلَاءُ فِي الْفَخْرِ وَالْكِبْرِ " أَوْ كَالَّذِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ (١)،

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عِيسَى، عَنْ جَبْرِ (٢) بْنِ عَتِيكٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ (٣) ، قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى مَيِّتٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَأَهْلُهُ يَبْكُونَ فَقُلْتُ: أَتَبْكُونَ وَهَذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ؟، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " دَعْهُنَّ يَبْكِينَ مَا دَامَ عِنْدَهُنَّ، فَإِذَا وَجَبَ (٤) فَلَا يَبْكِينَ "، فَقَالَ جَبْرٌ فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهِ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ (٥) ، فَقَالَ لِي: مَاذَا وَجَبَ؟ قُلْتُ: " إِذَا أُدْخِلَ قَبْرَهُ " (٦)، ،

It is narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that I went with the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) to attend the funeral of an Ansari. His family was weeping over him. I said to them, "Are you weeping in the presence of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)?" The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said, "Let them be. As long as he is with them, they will weep over him, and when he is buried in the grave, then they will not weep."

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنِ ابْنِ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ،، ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ (١) ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِنَّ مِنَ الْغَيْرَةِ مَا يُحِبُّ اللهُ وَمِنْهَا مَا يُبْغِضُ اللهُ، وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْخُيَلَاءِ مَا يُحِبُّ اللهُ، وَمِنْهَا مَا يُبْغِضُ اللهُ، وَأَمَّا الْغَيْرَةُ الَّتِي يُحِبُّ اللهُ فَالْغَيْرَةُ الَّتِي فِي الرِّيبَةِ، وَأَمَّا الْغَيْرَةُ الَّتِي يُبْغِضُ اللهُ فَالْغَيْرَةُ فِي غَيْرِ الرِّيبَةِ، وَأَمَّا الْخُيَلَاءُ الَّتِي يُحِبُّ اللهُ فَاخْتِيَالُ الرَّجُلِ بِنَفْسِهِ عِنْدَ الْقِتَالِ، وَاخْتِيَالُهُ عِنْدَ الصَّدَقَةِ، وَالْخُيَلَاءُ الَّتِي يُبْغِضُ اللهُ فَاخْتِيَالُ الرَّجُلِ فِي الْفَخْرِ وَالْبَغْيِ " (٢)،

It is narrated from Jabir bin Atik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Some types of jealousy are beloved to Allah and some are disliked by Allah. Similarly, some types of pride are beloved to Allah and some are disliked. Thus, the jealousy that is beloved to Allah is in those matters where there is a possibility (of wrongdoing) in a person, and the disliked jealousy is that in which there is no aspect of doubt. And the pride that is beloved to Allah is when a person distinguishes himself for the sake of Allah’s pleasure at the time of fighting (in battle) and in giving charity and alms. (And the disliked pride is that which is only for boasting or rebellion.)

حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ، عَنْ عَتِيكِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ، فَهُوَ جَدُّ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ أَبُو أُمِّهِ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَتِيكٍ أَخْبَرَهُ: أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ لَمَّا مَاتَ قَالَتْ ابْنَتُهُ: وَاللهِ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ شَهِيدًا، أَمَا إِنَّكَ قَدْ كُنْتَ قَضَيْتَ جِهَازَكَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ أَوْقَعَ أَجْرَهُ عَلَى قَدْرِ نِيَّتِهِ، وَمَا تَعُدُّونَ الشَّهَادَةَ؟ " قَالُوا: قَتْلٌ فِي سَبِيلِ، ، اللهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " الشَّهَادَةُ سَبْعٌ سِوَى الْقَتْلِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ الْمَطْعُونُ شَهِيدٌ، وَالْغَرِقُ شَهِيدٌ، وَصَاحِبُ ذَاتِ الْجَنْبِ شَهِيدٌ، وَالْمَبْطُونُ شَهِيدٌ، وَصَاحِبُ الْحَرِيقِ (١) شَهِيدٌ، وَالَّذِي يَمُوتُ تَحْتَ الْهَدْمِ شَهِيدٌ، وَالْمَرْأَةُ تَمُوتُ بِجُمْعٍ شَهِيدَةٌ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Abdullah bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, his daughter said, "By Allah! I hope that you will be included among the martyrs because you had completed your preparations." The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said, "Allah has fixed his reward according to his intention. What do you people understand by 'martyrdom'?" The people replied, "Being killed in the way of Allah." The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said, "Besides being killed in the way of Allah, there are seven other types of martyrdom: whoever dies in a plague is a martyr, whoever drowns in the sea is a martyr, whoever dies of pleurisy is a martyr, whoever dies of a stomach disease is a martyr, whoever dies by burning in fire is a martyr, whoever dies by being buried under a collapsed building is a martyr, and a woman who dies in the state of childbirth is a martyr."

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ مُرَّةَ الْحَنَفِيُّ أَبُو مُرَّةَ، حَدَّثَنَا نَفِيسٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ جَابِرٍ الْعَبْدِيِّ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ فِي الْوَفْدِ الَّذِي أَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ قَالَ: وَلَسْتُ مِنْهُمْ وَإِنَّمَا كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي قَالَ: " فَنَهَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الشُّرْبِ فِي الْأَوْعِيَةِ الَّتِي، ، سَمِعْتُمُ الدُّبَّاءِ، وَالْحَنْتَمِ، وَالنَّقِيرِ، وَالْمُزَفَّتِ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Jabir Abdi (may Allah be pleased with him) that he was included in the delegation of Abdul Qais who came to the service of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ). He was not from that tribe, but had come along with his father. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) forbade them from drinking anything in those vessels about which you have already heard, i.e., Dubba, Hantam, Naqeer, and Muzaffat.
