Hadith of Ja'dah (may Allah be pleased with him)

حَدِيثُ جَعْدَةَ، ١٥٨٦٨ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا إِسْرَائِيلَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ جَعْدَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَرَأَى رَجُلًا سَمِينًا، فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُومِئُ إِلَى بَطْنِهِ بِيَدِهِ، وَيَقُولُ: " لَوْ كَانَ هَذَا فِي غَيْرِ هَذَا لَكَانَ خَيْرًا (١) لَكَ "، قَالَ: وَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِرَجُلٍ، فَقَالُوا: هَذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَقْتُلَكَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَمْ تُرَعْ لَمْ تُرَعْ، وَلَوْ أَرَدْتَ ذَلِكَ لَمْ يُسَلِّطْكَ اللهُ عَلَيَّ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Ja'dah that the Prophet (ﷺ) saw a healthy man and pointed with his hand towards his belly, and I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying: "If this had been in something other than this, it would have been better for you." The narrator says that a man was brought to the service of the Prophet (ﷺ); the noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) were saying that he had come with the intention of killing you. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him: "Do not be afraid, even if you wanted to do so, Allah would not have given you power over me."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْرَائِيلَ، فِي بَيْتِ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ جَعْدَةَ، وَهُوَ (١) مَوْلَى أَبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ، وَرَجُلٌ يَقُصُّ عَلَيْهِ رُؤْيَا (١) ، وَذَكَرَ سِمَنَهُ، وَعِظَمَهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَوْ كَانَ هَذَا فِي غَيْرِ هَذَا، كَانَ خَيْرًا لَكَ " (٢)، ،
