Riyad al-SalihinAl-Nawawi

419 – Jābir (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: A Bedouin came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked, “Messenger of Allah, what are the two decisive matters?” He replied, “Whoever dies without associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise, and whoever dies while associating something with Him will enter the Fire.” Reported by Muslim.

420 – Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) related that the Prophet ﷺ, while Muʿādh was riding behind him on the saddle, said, “Muʿādh!” He replied, “At your service, Messenger of Allah, at your service and obedience.” The Prophet again said, “Muʿādh!” and he answered, “At your service, Messenger of Allah, at your service and obedience.” A third time he said, “Muʿādh!” and again came the reply, “At your service, Messenger of Allah, at your service and obedience.” The Prophet then said, “No servant sincerely bears witness from his heart that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger except that Allah makes the Fire forbidden for him.” Muʿādh asked, “Messenger of Allah, shall I not inform the people so that they may rejoice?” He said, “They would then become complacent.” Muʿādh conveyed this ḥadīth only at the time of his death, fearing sin in concealing knowledge. Agreed upon.

His phrase “fearing sin” means: out of fear of incurring sin by withholding this knowledge.

421 – Abū Hurayrah—or Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī (may Allah be pleased with them), the narrator was uncertain, though such uncertainty about which Companion it was does not matter, for all of them are upright—said: During the expedition of Tabūk the people were afflicted with hunger. They said, “Messenger of Allah, would you permit us to slaughter our riding camels (1) so we can eat and use their fat?” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Do so.” ʿUmar (may Allah be pleased with him) then came and said, “Messenger of Allah, if you do that, the mounts (2) will become scarce. Instead, summon them with whatever remains of their provisions (3), and then invoke Allah’s blessing upon it for them; perhaps Allah will place blessing in it.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Yes.” He called for a leather sheet (4) and spread it out, then asked that what remained of their provisions be brought. One man would come with a handful of millet, another with a handful of dates, another with a piece of bread, until a small amount had been collected on the leather sheet. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ invoked blessing upon it, and then said:

(1) The plural of nadih, a camel employed for drawing water and other heavy labor; it is among the strongest of the herd. (2) That is, the beasts of burden. (3) al-fadl means “the surplus,” namely what remains of their provisions—food prepared for travel. (4) al-nita: a mat made of adim (tanned leather).

٤١٩ - وعن جابر ، رضي الله عنه قال : جاء أعرابي إلى النبي ﷺ فقال : يا رسول الله ما الموجبتان ؟ قال : « مَنْ مَاتَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ ، وَمَنْ مَاتَ يُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ النَّارَ » رواه مسلم . ٤٢٠ - وعن أنس رضي الله عنه ، أن النبي ﷺ ، ومعاذ رديفه على الرَّحْل قال : « يَا مُعَاذُ » قال : لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَ ، قال : « يَا مُعَاذُ » قال : لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَ . قال : « يَا مُعَاذُ » قال : لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَ ، ثلاثاً ، قال : « مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ صِدْقًا مِنْ قَلْبِهِ إِلَّا حَرَّمَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى النَّارِ » قال : يا رسول الله أفلا أخبر بها الناس فيستبشروا ؟ قال : « إِذَا يَتَكَلَّمُوا » فأخبر بها معاذ عند موته تأثماً . متفق عليه . وقوله « تأثماً » : أي خوفاً من الإثم في كتم هذا العلم . ٤٢١ - وعن أبي هريرة - أو أبي سعيد الخدري رضي الله عنهما ، شك الراوي ، ولا يضر الشك في عين الصحابي ، لأنهم كلهم عدول - قال : لَمَّا كَانَ غَزْوَةُ تَبُوكَ ، أَصَابَ النَّاسَ مَجَاعَةً ، فَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَذِنْتَ لَنَا فَنَحَرْنَا نَوَاضِحَنَا (١) فَأَكَلْنَا وَأَدَّهَنَّا ؟ فقال رسول الله ﷺ : « افْعَلُوا » فجاء عمر رضي الله عنه فقال : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنْ فَعَلْتَ قَلَّ الظَّهْرُ (٢) ، وَلَكِنْ ادْعُهُمْ بِفَضْلِ أَزْوَادِهِمْ (٣) ، ثُمَّ ادْعُ اللَّهَ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا بِالْبَرَكَةِ ، لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْبَرَكَةَ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ : « نَعَمْ » فَدَعَا بِنَطْعٍ (٤) فَبَسَطَهُ ، ثُمَّ دَعَا بِفَضْلِ أَزْوَادِهِمْ ، فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَجِيءُ بِكَفِّ ذُرَّةٍ وَيَجِيءُ الْآخَرُ بِكَفِّ تَمْرٍ وَيَجِيءُ الْآخَرُ بِكِسْرَةٍ حَتَّى اجْتَمَعَ عَلَى النَّطْعِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْءٌ يَسِيرٌ ، فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْبَرَكَةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ :

(١) جمع ناضح ، وهو البعير الذي يستعمل في إخراج الماء والأعمال الشاقة . ويكون أقواها . (٢) أي : الدواب . (٣) الفضل : البقية ، أي : الباقي من أزوادهم وهو الطعام المتخذ للسفر . (٤) النطع : بساط متخذ من أديم .
