2307 - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ . قَالَ : نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ بْنِ شَرُوسٍ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ [3/9] قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ بَحِيرٍ الْقَاصَّ ، يَذْكُرُ ، عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ الرَّقِيمِ : إِنَّ ثَلَاثَةَ نَفَرٍ دَخَلُوا فِي كَهْفٍ ، فَوَقَعَ قِطْعَةٌ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ عَلَى بَابِ الْكَهْفِ ، فَأُوصِدَ عَلَيْهِمْ ، فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ مِنْهُمْ : يَا قَوْمُ ، تَذَكَّرُوا أَيُّكُمْ عَمِلَ حَسَنَةً لَعَلَّ اللهَ بِرَحْمَتِهِ يَرْحَمُنَا . فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمْ : قَدْ عَمِلْتُ حَسَنَةً مَرَّةً : كَانَ لِي عُمَّالٌ اسْتَأْجَرْتُهُمْ فِي عَمَلٍ لِي ، كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ بِأَجْرٍ مَعْلُومٍ ، فَجَاءَنِي رَجُلٌ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَسَطَ النَّهَارِ ، فَاسْتَأْجَرْتُهُ مَا بَقِيَ مِنَ النَّهَارِ بِشَرْطِ أَصْحَابِهِ ، فَعَمِلَ فِي بَقِيَّةِ نَهَارِهِ كَمَا عَمِلَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ فِي نَهَارِهِ كُلِّهِ ، فَرَأَيْتُ فِي الذِّمَامِ أَنْ لَا أَنْقُصَهُ شَيْئًا مِمَّا اسْتَأْجَرْتُ بِهِ أَصْحَابَهُ ، لِمَا جَهِدَ فِي عَمَلِهِ ، فَقَالَ لِي رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ : أَتُعْطِي هَذَا مِثْلَ مَا أَعْطَيْتَنِي ، وَلَمْ يَعْمَلْ إِلَّا نِصْفَ نَهَارٍ ؟ قُلْتُ : يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ ، لَمْ أَبْخَسْكَ شَيْئًا مِنْ شَرْطِكَ ، وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ مَالِي أَحْكُمُ فِيهِ مَا شِئْتُ ، فَغَضِبَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ ، وَتَرَكَ إِجَارَتَهُ ، وَوَضَعْتُ حَقَّهُ فِي جَانِبٍ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ ، ثُمَّ مَرَّتْ بِي بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بَقَرٌ ، فَاشْتَرَيْتُ بِهِ فَصِيلًا مِنَ الْبَقَرِ ، فَأَمْسَكْتُهُ حَتَّى كَبِرَ ، ثُمَّ بِعْتُهُ ، ثُمَّ صَرَفْتُ ثَمَنَهُ فِي بَقَرَةٍ ، فَحَمَلَتْ ، ثُمَّ تَوَالَدَتْ لَهَا حَتَّى بَلَغَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ ، ثُمَّ مَرَّ بِي بَعْدَ حِينٍ شَيْخٌ ضَعِيفٌ لَا أَعْرِفُهُ ، فَقَالَ لِي : إِنَّ لِي عِنْدَكَ حَقًّا ، فَذَكَرَهُ [3/10] حَتَّى عَرَفْتُهُ ، فَقُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، إِيَّاكَ أَبْغِي ، فَعَرَضْتُهَا عَلَيْهِ جَمِيعًا ، فَقُلْتُ : هَذَا حَقُّكَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ لَا تَسْتَهْزِئْ مِنِّي ، إِنْ لَمْ تَتَصَدَّقْ عَلَيَّ فَأَعْطِنِي حَقِّي ، فَقُلْتُ : وَاللهِ مَا أَسْخَرُ مِنْكَ ، إِنَّهَا لَحَقُّكَ ، مَا لِي مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ ، فَدَفَعْتُهَا إِلَيْهِ ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتُ فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ لِوَجْهِكَ ، فَافْرُجْ عَنَّا ، فَانْصَدَعَ الْبَصَرُ ، حَتَّى رَأَوْا وَبَصُرُوا . وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ : فَعَلْتُ حَسَنَةً مَرَّةً : كَانَ عِنْدِي فَضْلٌ ، وَأَصَابَتِ النَّاسَ شِدَّةٌ ، فَجَاءَتْنِي امْرَأَةٌ تَطْلُبُ مِنِّي مَعْرُوفًا ، فَقُلْتُ لَهَا : لَا وَاللهِ مَا هُوَ دُونَ نَفْسِكِ ، فَأَبَتْ عَلَيَّ ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَتْ فَذَكَّرَتْنِي بِاللهِ ، فَأَبَيْتُ عَلَيْهَا ، فَقُلْتُ : لَا وَاللهِ مَا هُوَ دُونَ نَفْسِكِ ، فَأَبَتْ عَلَيَّ ، فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِزَوْجِهَا ، فَقَالَ لَهَا : أَعْطِيهِ نَفْسَكِ وَأَغْنِي عِيَالَكِ ، فَجَاءَتْنِي ، فَنَاشَدَتْنِي اللهَ ، فَقُلْتُ لَهَا : لَا وَاللهِ مَا هُوَ دُونَ نَفْسِكِ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ ذَلِكَ أَسْلَمَتْ إِلَيَّ نَفْسَهَا ، فَلَمَّا كَشَفْتُهَا وَهَمَمْتُ بِهَا ارْتَعَدَتْ مِنْ تَحْتِي ، فَقُلْتُ : مَا لَكِ ؟ قَالَتْ : أَخَافُ اللهَ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ ، فَقُلْتُ لَهَا : خِفْتِ اللهَ فِي الشِّدَّةِ ، وَلَمْ أَخَفْهُ فِي الرَّخَاءِ ، فَتَرَكْتُهَا ، وَأَعْطَيْتُهَا مَا يَحِقُّ عَلَيَّ بِمَا كَشَفْتُهَا ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتُ فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ لِوَجْهِكَ فَافْرُجْ عَنَّا ، فَانْصَدَعَ الْجَبَلُ حَتَّى عَرَفُوا وَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ . وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ : قَدْ عَمِلْتُ حَسَنَةً مَرَّةً : كَانَ لِي أَبَوَانِ شَيْخَانِ كَبِيرَانِ ، وَكَانَتْ لِي غَنَمٌ ، فَأُطْعِمُ أَبَوَيَّ وَأَسْقِيهِمَا ، ثُمَّ أَرْجِعُ إِلَى غَنَمِي ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ أَصَابَنِي غَيْثٌ ، فَحَبَسَنِي ، فَلَمْ أَرُحْ حَتَّى أَمْسَيْتُ ، فَأَتَيْتُ أَهْلِي ، فَأَخَذْتُ مِحْلَبِي ، فَحَلَبْتُ ، وَتَرَكْتُ غَنَمِي قَائِمَةً ، فَمَضَيْتُ إِلَى أَبَوَيَّ لِأَسْقِيَهُمَا ، فَوَجَدْتُهُمَا قَدْ نَامَا ، فَشَقَّ عَلَيَّ أَنْ أُوقِظَهُمَا ، وَشَقَّ عَلَيَّ أَنْ أَتْرُكَ غَنَمِي ، فَمَا بَرِحْتُ جَالِسًا وَمِحْلَبِي عَلَى يَدَيَّ حَتَّى أَيْقَظَهُمَا الصُّبْحُ ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ لِوَجْهِكَ فَافْرُجْ عَنَّا " . قَالَ النُّعْمَانُ : لَكَأَنِّي أَسْمَعُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : " فَقَالَ الْجَبَلُ : طَاقْ ، فَفَرَّجَ اللهُ عَنْهُمْ ، فَخَرَجُوا .

2307 - Ibrahim narrated to us, he said: Muhammad ibn Abd al-Rahim ibn Sharus al-Sanani narrated to us, he said: I heard Abd Allah ibn Bahir the storyteller mention, from Wahb ibn Munabbih, from al-Numan ibn Bashir al-Ansari, that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) narrate about al-Raqim: Three men entered a cave, and a piece of the mountain fell upon the mouth of the cave and sealed them in. One of them said: O people, recall which of you did a good deed, that Allah in His mercy may have mercy on us. One of them said: I once did a good deed: I had workers I hired for work of mine, each man for a known wage. One day a man came to me in the middle of the day, and I hired him for the rest of the day on the terms of his companions. He worked in the rest of his day as one of them worked in his whole day, so I saw it as a duty not to deduct for him anything of what I had hired his companions for, because of his exertion in his work. One of them said to me: Do you give this one like what you gave me, though he worked only half a day? I said: O servant of Allah, I did not short you anything of your terms; it is only my wealth, I dispose of it as I wish. He became angry at that, left his wage, and I placed his right in a corner of the house as long as Allah willed. Then cattle passed by me, and I bought with it a young calf, kept it until it grew, then sold it, then spent its price on a cow; it became pregnant and multiplied until it reached what Allah willed. Then after a while a weak old man I did not recognize passed by me and said to me: I have a right with you. He mentioned it until I recognized him. I said: Yes, it is you I seek. I offered all of it to him and said: This is your right. He said: O servant of Allah, do not mock me; if you will not give me charity, give me my right. I said: By Allah, I am not jesting with you; it is indeed your right, I have nothing of it. So I handed it to him. O Allah, if I did that for Your sake, relieve us. Then the opening widened until they saw and could see. The second said: I once did a good deed: I had surplus, and hardship befell people. A woman came to me seeking a favor from me. I said to her: No, by Allah, it is not without your giving yourself. She refused me, then returned and reminded me of Allah, but I refused her. I said: No, by Allah, it is not without your giving yourself. She refused me, then mentioned that to her husband, and he said to her: Give him yourself and enrich your dependents. She came to me and adjured me by Allah. I said to her: No, by Allah, it is not without your giving yourself. When she saw that, she submitted herself to me. When I uncovered her and was about to take her, she trembled beneath me. I said: What is wrong with you? She said: I fear Allah, Lord of the worlds. I said to her: You feared Allah in hardship, while I did not fear Him in ease. So I left her and gave her what was due from me for having uncovered her. O Allah, if I did that for Your sake, relieve us. Then the mountain split until they recognized and it became clear to them. The third said: I once did a good deed: I had two aged parents, and I had sheep; I would feed my parents and give them drink, then return to my sheep. One day rain befell me and detained me, and I did not return until evening. I came to my family, took my milking vessel and milked, leaving my sheep standing, and went to my parents to give them drink, but found them asleep. It distressed me to wake them, and distressed me to leave my sheep, so I remained sitting with my milking vessel in my hand until morning woke them. O Allah, if You know I did that for Your sake, relieve us. Al-Numan said: It is as though I hear the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: Then the mountain said: Crack, and Allah relieved them, and they went out.
