Hadith of ‘Abdullah ibn Sarjis (may Allah be pleased with him)

حَدِيثُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَرْجِسَ (١)، ٢٠٧٧٠ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَرْجِسَ، قَالَ: " تَرَوْنَ هَذَا الشَّيْخَ، يَعْنِي نَفْسَهُ، كَلَّمْتُ نَبِيَّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَكَلْتُ مَعَهُ، وَرَأَيْتُ الْعَلَامَةَ الَّتِي بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْهِ، وَهِيَ فِي طَرَفِ نُغْضِ كَتِفِهِ الْيُسْرَى، كَأَنَّهُ جُمْعٌ، يَعْنِي الْكَفَّ الْمُجْتَمِعَ، وَقَالَ بِيَدِهِ فَقَبَضَهَا عَلَيْهِ، خِيلَانٌ كَهَيْئَةِ الثَّآلِيلِ " (٢)، ،

Abdullah bin Sarjis (may Allah be pleased with him) once said about himself: "Do you see this old man? I have spoken with the Prophet (peace be upon him), eaten food with him, and seen the Seal of Prophethood between his shoulders. It was on the corner of his left shoulder, like a fist." He gestured with his hand to show the size of a fist, and on the Seal of Prophethood there were raised moles like warts.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَرْجِسَ، قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا خَرَجَ مُسَافِرًا، يَقُولُ: " اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ، وَكَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ، وَالْحَوْرِ بَعْدَ الْكَوْرِ، وَدَعْوَةِ الْمَظْلُومِ، وَسُوءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِي الْأَهْلِ وَالْمَالِ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Sarjis (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (ﷺ) set out on a journey, he would recite this supplication: O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the hardships of travel, from distress upon return, from decline after advancement, from the supplication of the oppressed, and from witnessing any evil occurrence in my family or wealth.

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَاصِمٌ بِالْكُوفَةِ، فَلَمْ أَكْتُبْهُ، فَسَمِعْتُ شُعْبَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ بِهِ فَعَرَفْتُهُ بِهِ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَرْجِسَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا سَافَرَ قَالَ: " اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ، وَكَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ، وَالْحَوْرِ بَعْدَ الْكَوْرِ، وَدَعْوَةِ الْمَظْلُومِ، وَسُوءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِي الْأَهْلِ وَالْمَالِ " (١)، ،

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَرْجِسَ: " أَنَّهُ رَأَى الْخَاتَمَ الَّذِي بَيْنَ كَتِفَيِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَقَدْ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ " (٢)،

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Sarjis (may Allah be pleased with him) that he saw the Seal of Prophethood of the Prophet (ﷺ), which was between his two shoulders, and he also saw the Prophet (ﷺ), but did not get the opportunity of companionship.

حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَرْجِسَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " لَا يَبُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الْجُحْرِ، وَإِذَا نِمْتُمْ فَأَطْفِئُوا السِّرَاجَ، فَإِنَّ الْفَأْرَةَ تَأْخُذُ الْفَتِيلَةَ فَتَحْرِقُ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ، وَأَوْكِئُوا الْأَسْقِيَةَ، وَخَمِّرُوا الشَّرَابَ، وَغَلِّقُوا الْأَبْوَابَ بِاللَّيْلِ "،، ، قَالُوا لِقَتَادَةَ: مَا يُكْرَهُ مِنَ الْبَوْلِ فِي الْجُحْرِ؟ قَالَ: " يُقَالُ إِنَّهَا مَسَاكِنُ الْجِنِّ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Sarjis (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: None of you should urinate in a hole, and when you are about to sleep, extinguish the lamp, because sometimes a mouse drags its wick and burns the whole household. Tie the mouths of water skins, cover the drinking vessels, and close the doors at night.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ الْأَحْوَلُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَرْجِسَ، قَالَ عَاصِمٌ: وَقَدْ كَانَ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ (١) إِذَا خَرَجَ فِي سَفَرٍ قَالَ: " اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ، وَكَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ، وَالْحَوْرِ بَعْدَ الْكَوْرِ، وَدَعْوَةِ الْمَظْلُومِ، وَسُوءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِي الْمَالِ وَالْأَهْلِ "، وَإِذَا رَجَعَ قَالَ مِثْلَهَا، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ يَقُولُ: " وَسُوءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِي الْأَهْلِ وَالْمَالِ " يَبْدَأُ بِالْأَهْلِ (٢)،

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Sarjis (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (ﷺ) set out on a journey, he would recite this supplication: O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the hardships of travel, from distress upon return, from decline after advancement, from the supplication of the oppressed, and from witnessing any evil occurrence in my family or wealth.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَرْجِسَ، قَالَ: أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ، صَلَاةُ الصُّبْحِ، فَرَأَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلًا يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: " بِأَيِّ صَلَاتَيْكَ احْتَسَبْتَ، بِصَلَاتِكَ وَحْدَكَ، أَوْ صَلَاتِكَ الَّتِي صَلَّيْتَ مَعَنَا؟ " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Sarjis (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the iqamah for the Fajr prayer was given. The Prophet (ﷺ) saw a man who was performing two rak'ahs of Fajr. After the prayer, the Prophet (ﷺ) asked him, "Which prayer did you count as the Fajr prayer? The one you performed alone, or the one you performed with us?"

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ سَرْجِسَ، قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَكَلْتُ مَعَهُ مِنْ طَعَامِهِ، فَقُلْتُ: غَفَرَ اللهُ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَقُلْتُ: أَسْتَغْفَرَ لَكَ؟، قَالَ شُعْبَةُ: أَوْ قَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ، قَالَ: نَعَمْ، وَلَكُمْ، وَقَرَأَ: {وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنْبِكَ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ} [محمد: ١٩] ، " ثُمَّ نَظَرْتُ إِلَى نُغْضِ كَتِفِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ، أَوْ كَتِفِهِ الْأَيْسَرِ شُعْبَةُ الَّذِي يَشُكُّ، فَإِذَا هُوَ كَهَيْئَةِ الْجُمْعِ عَلَيْهِ، الثَّآلِيلُ " (١)،

Abdullah bin Sarjis (may Allah be pleased with him) once said about himself that I presented myself in the service of the Prophet (ﷺ) and ate food with him. I said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, may Allah grant you forgiveness." The narrator says that I asked him, "Did the Prophet (ﷺ) also seek forgiveness for you?" He said, "Yes, and he also did so for you." Then he recited this verse: "And seek forgiveness for your faults and for the believing men and women." Then I saw the Seal of Prophethood between his two shoulders, which was on the corner of the left shoulder and was like a fist. He made a fist and showed it by gesture, and on the Seal of Prophethood there were raised moles like warts.

حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ عِيسَى أَبُو بِشْرٍ الرَّاسِبِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ أَبُو زَيْدٍ الْقَيْسِيُّ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " قَدْ رَأَى عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَرْجِسَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ، ، صُحْبَةٌ " (١)،

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Sarjis (may Allah be pleased with him) that he saw the Prophet (ﷺ), but did not get the opportunity of companionship.

حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، وَأَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَرْجِسَ، قَالَ: " رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ، وَأَكَلْتُ مِنْ طَعَامِهِ، وَشَرِبْتُ مِنْ شَرَابِهِ، وَرَأَيْتُ خَاتَمَ النُّبُوَّةِ، قَالَ هَاشِمٌ: فِي نُغْضِ كَتِفِهِ الْيُسْرَى، كَأَنَّهُ جُمْعٌ فِيهَا خِيلَانٌ سُودٌ، كَأَنَّهَا الثَّآلِيلُ " (٢)،

حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَرْجِسَ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا سَافَرَ قَالَ: " اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ، وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ، اللهُمَّ اصْحَبْنَا فِي سَفَرِنَا، وَاخْلُفْنَا فِي أَهْلِنَا، اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ، وَكَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ، وَمِنَ الْحَوْرِ بَعْدَ الْكَوْرِ، وَدَعْوَةِ الْمَظْلُومِ، وَسُوءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِي الْأَهْلِ وَالْمَالِ "،، ، قَالَ: وَسُئِلَ عَاصِمٌ عَنِ الْحَوْرِ بَعْدَ الْكَوْرِ؟ قَالَ: " حَارَ بَعْدَ مَا كَانَ " (١)، ،
