[7/97] 2655 - حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا بِسْطَامُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ أَبُو الْفَتْحِ ، عَنْ ثَوْرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ صَلَّى مِنْكُمْ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَلْيَجْهَرْ بِقِرَاءَتِهِ ؛ فَإِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تُصَلِّي بِصَلَاتِهِ ، وَتَسْمَعُ لِقِرَاءَتِهِ ، وَإِنَّ مُؤْمِنِي الْجِنِّ الَّذِينَ يَكُونُونَ فِي الْهَوَاءِ ، وَجِيرَانَهُ مَعَهُ فِي مَسْكَنِهِ يُصَلُّونَ بِصَلَاتِهِ ، وَيَسْتَمِعُونَ قِرَاءَتَهُ ، وَإِنَّهُ لَيَطْرُدُ بِجِهْرِ قِرَاءَتِهِ عَنْ دَارِهِ ، وَعَنِ الدُّورِ الَّتِي حَوْلَهُ فُسَّاقَ الْجِنِّ ، وَمَرَدَةَ الشَّيَاطِينِ ، وَإِنَّ الْبَيْتَ الَّذِي يُقْرَأُ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ عَلَيْهِ خَيْمَةٌ مِنْ نُورٍ يَقْتَدِي بِهَا أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ كَمَا [7/98] يَقْتَدُونَ بِالْكَوْكَبِ الدُّرِّيِّ فِي لُجَجِ الْبِحَارِ ، وَفِي الْأَرْضِ الْقَفْرِ فَإِذَا مَاتَ صَاحِبُ الْقُرْآنِ رُفِعَتْ تِلْكَ الْخَيْمَةُ فَيَنْظُرُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَلَا يَرَوْنَ ذَلِكَ النُّورَ فَتَنْعَاهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ مِنْ سَمَاءٍ إِلَى سَمَاءٍ فَتُصَلِّي الْمَلَائِكَةُ عَلَى رُوحِهِ فِي الْأَرْوَاحِ ، ثُمَّ تَسْتَقْبِلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ الْحَافِظَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ كَانَا مَعَهُ ، ثُمَّ تَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُ ، وَمَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ تَعَلَّمَ كِتَابَ اللهِ ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى سَاعَةً مِنَ اللَّيْلِ إِلَّا أَوْصَتْ بِهِ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةُ الْمَاضِيَةُ اللَّيْلَةَ الْمُسْتَقْبَلَةَ أَنْ تُنَبِّهَهُ لِسَاعَتِهِ ، وَأَنْ تَكُونَ عَلَيْهِ خَفِيفَةً ، وَإِذَا مَاتَ وَكَانَ أَهْلُهُ فِي جِهَازِهِ يَجِيءُ الْقُرْآنُ فِي صُورَةٍ حَسَنَةٍ جَمِيلَةٍ وَاقِفًا عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ حَتَّى يُدْرَجَ فِي أَكْفَانِهِ فَيَكُونَ الْقُرْآنُ عَلَى صَدْرِهِ دُونَ الْكَفَنِ ، فَإِذَا وُضِعَ فِي قَبْرِهِ ، وَسُوِّيَ عَلَيْهِ ، وَتَفَرَّقَ عَنْهُ أَصْحَابُهُ أَتَاهُ مُنْكَرٌ ، وَنَكِيرٌ فَيُجْلِسَانِهِ فِي قَبْرِهِ يَجِيءُ الْقُرْآنُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُمَا فَيَقُولَانِ لَهُ : إِلَيْكَ حَتَّى نَسْأَلَهُ ، فَيَقُولُ : لَا وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ إِنَّهُ لَصَاحِبِي ، وَخَلِيلِي وَلَسْتُ أَخْذُلُهُ عَلَى حَالٍ فَإِنْ كُنْتُمَا أُمِرْتُمَا بِشَيْءٍ فَامْضِيَا لِمَا أُمِرْتُمَا ، وَدَعَانِي مَكَانِي فَإِنِّي لَسْتُ أُفَارِقُهُ حَتَّى أُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ ، ثُمَّ يَنْظُرُ الْقُرْآنُ إِلَى صَاحِبِهِ ، فَيَقُولُ لَهُ : اسْكُنْ فَإِنَّكَ سَتَجِدُنِي مِنَ الْجِيرَانِ جَارَ صَدْقٍ وَمِنَ الْأَخِلَّاءِ خَلِيلَ صَدْقٍ ، وَمِنَ الْأَصْحَابِ صَاحِبَ صَدْقٍ ، فَيَقُولُ لَهُ : مَنْ أَنْتَ ؟ فَيَقُولُ : أَنَا الْقُرْآنُ الَّذِي كُنْتَ تَجْهَرُ بِي ، وَتُخْفِينِي ، وَكُنْتَ تُحِبُّنِي فَأَنَا حَبِيبُكَ فَمَنْ أَحْبَبْتُهُ أَحَبَّهُ اللهُ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ بَعْدَ مَسْأَلَةِ مُنْكَرٍ وَنَكِيرٍ مِنْ غَمٍّ ، وَلَا هَمٍّ ، وَلَا حَزَنٍ ، فَيَسْأَلَهُ مُنْكَرٌ ، وَنَكِيرٌ ، وَيَصْعَدَانِ ، وَيَبْقَى هُوَ وَالْقُرْآنُ ، فَيَقُولُ : لَأُفْرِشَنَّكَ فِرَاشًا لَيِّنًا ، وَلَأُدَثِّرَنَّكَ دِثَارًا حَسَنًا جَمِيلًا جَزَاءً لَكَ بِمَا أَسْهَرْتَ لَيْلَكَ ، وَأَنْصَبْتَ نَهَارَكَ ، قَالَ ، فَيَصْعَدُ الْقُرْآنُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ [7/99] أَسْرَعَ مِنَ الطَّرْفِ فَيَسْأَلُ اللهَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَيُعْطِيهِ اللهُ ذَلِكَ ، فَيَنْزِلُ بِهِ أَلْفُ أَلْفٍ مِنْ مُقَرَّبِي السَّمَاءِ السَّادِسَةِ فَيَجِيئُهُ الْقُرْآنُ ، وَيَقُولُ : هَلِ اسْتَوْحَشْتَ ؟ مَا زِلْتُ مُذْ فَارَقْتُكَ أَنْ كَلَّمْتُ اللهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى حَتَّى أَخْرَجْتُ لَكَ مِنْهُ فِرَاشًا ، وَدِثَارًا ، وَمِصْبَاحًا وَقَدْ جِئْتُكَ بِهِ فَقُمْ حَتَّى تُفْرِشَكَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ ، قَالَ : فَتُنْهِضُهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ إِنْهَاضًا لَطِيفًا ، ثُمَّ يُفْسَحُ لَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ مَسِيرَةَ أَرْبَعِمِائَةِ عَامٍ ثُمَّ يُوضَعُ لَهُ فِرَاشٌ بِطَانَتُهُ مِنْ حَرِيرٍ أَخْضَرَ حَشْوُهُ الْمِسْكُ الْأَذْخَرُ ، وَيُوضَعُ لَهُ مُرَافَقٌ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ وَرَأْسِهِ مِنَ السُّنْدُسِ ، وَالْإِسْتَبْرَقِ ، وُيُسْرَجُ لَهُ سِرَاجَانِ مِنْ نُورِ الْجَنَّةِ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ وَرِجْلَيْهِ يُزْهِرَانِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ، ثُمَّ تُضْجِعُهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عَلَى شِقِّهِ الْأَيْمَنِ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةِ ، ثُمَّ يُوتَى بِيَاسَمِينَ مِنْ يَاسَمِينِ الْجَنَّةِ ، وَيُصْعَدُ عَنْهُ ، وَيَبْقَى هُوَ وَالْقُرْآنُ فَيَأْخُذُ الْقُرْآنُ الْيَاسَمِينَ فَيَضَعُهُ عَلَى أَنْفِهِ غَضًّا فَيَسْتَنْشِقُهُ حَتَّى يُبْعَثَ ، وَيَرْجِعُ الْقُرْآنُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَيُخْبِرُهُ بِخَبَرِهِمْ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ ، وَيَتَعَاهَدُهُ كَمَا يَتَعَاهَدُ الْوَالِدُ الشَّفِيقُ وَلَدَهُ بِالْخَبَرِ فَإِنْ تَعَلَّمَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ وَلَدِهِ الْقُرْآنَ بَشَّرَهُ بِذَلِكَ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ عَقِبُهُ عَقِبَ السُّوءِ دَعَا لَهُمْ بِالصَّلَاحِ وَالْإِقْبَالِ أَوْ كَمَا ذُكِرَ . وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَا نَعْلَمُهُ يُرْوَى عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِهَذَا اللَّفْظِ [7/100] إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ خَالِدُ بْنُ مَعْدَانَ مِنْ مُعَاذٍ وَإِنَّمَا ذَكَرْنَاهُ لَأَنَّا لَمْ نَحْفَظْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ فَلِذَلِكَ ذَكَرْنَاهُ ، وَإِنَّمَا يَجِيءُ ثَوَابُ الْقُرْآنِ ، وَالدَّلِيلُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ يُرْوَى عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَنَّ اللُّقْمَةَ أَوِ الْكِسْرَةَ تَجِيءُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِثْلَ أُحُدٍ " وَإِنَّمَا يَجِيءُ ثَوَابُهَا ، فَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ يُرْوَى عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِمَّا يَكُونُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ الثَّوَابُ .

2655 — Salamah ibn Shabib narrated to us, he said: Bistam ibn Khalid al-Harrani informed us, he said: Nasr ibn Abdullah Abu al-Fath informed us, from Thawr ibn Yazid, from Khalid ibn Ma'dan, from Mu'adh ibn Jabal, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Whoever among you prays at night, let him raise his voice in his recitation; for the angels pray with his prayer and listen to his recitation, and the believing jinn who are in the air, and his neighbors with him in his dwelling, pray with his prayer and listen to his recitation; and he drives away by the loudness of his recitation from his house and the houses around him the dissolute jinn and the rebellious devils; and the house in which the Qur'an is recited is covered by a tent of light by which the people of heaven are guided as they are guided by the brilliant star in the depths of the seas and in the barren land; and when the companion of the Qur'an dies, that tent is lifted, and the angels look from heaven and do not see that light, so the angels announce his death from heaven to heaven, and the angels pray over his spirit among the spirits; then the angels meet the two guardian angels who were with him, then the angels seek forgiveness for him until the day he is raised; and there is no man who learns the Book of Allah then prays an hour of the night except that the past night enjoins upon the coming night to wake him at his hour and to be light upon him; and when he dies, while his family are preparing him, the Qur'an comes in a fine, beautiful form standing at his head until he is wrapped in his shrouds, and the Qur'an is upon his chest beneath the shroud; and when he is placed in his grave and it is leveled over him and his companions disperse from him, Munkar and Nakir come to him and seat him in his grave, and the Qur'an comes until it is between him and them, and they say to him: Stand aside so we may question him; and it says: No, by the Lord of the Ka'bah, he is my companion and my friend, and I shall not forsake him in any state; if you were commanded with something, proceed to what you were commanded and leave me in my place, for I shall not part from him until I enter him into Paradise, Allah willing; then the Qur'an looks at its companion and says to him: Be still, for you will find me among neighbors a truthful neighbor, among friends a truthful friend, and among companions a truthful companion; and he says to it: Who are you? And it says: I am the Qur'an which you used to recite aloud and conceal, and you used to love me, so I am your beloved; whomever I love, Allah loves him; there is upon you after the questioning of Munkar and Nakir no grief, nor care, nor sorrow; so Munkar and Nakir question him and ascend, and he and the Qur'an remain; and it says: I shall surely spread for you a soft bed and cover you with a fine, beautiful covering as recompense for your keeping your night wakeful and tiring your day; he said: Then the Qur'an ascends to heaven quicker than a blink and asks Allah that for him, and Allah gives him that; then there descend with it a million of those brought near from the sixth heaven, and the Qur'an comes to him and says: Have you felt lonely? I have not ceased since I parted from you until I spoke to Allah, blessed and exalted, and brought out for you from Him a bed, a covering, and a lamp, and I have come to you with it; so rise until the angels spread for you; he said: So the angels raise him with a gentle raising, then his grave is widened for him the distance of four hundred years' journey; then there is placed for him a bed whose lining is of green silk stuffed with aromatic musk, and there are placed for him cushions at his feet and head of sundus and istabraq, and two lamps of the light of Paradise are lit for him at his head and feet shining until the Day of Resurrection; then the angels lay him on his right side facing the qiblah; then jasmine of the jasmine of Paradise is brought, and they ascend from him, and he and the Qur'an remain; and the Qur'an takes the jasmine and places it upon his nose fresh, and he inhales it until he is raised; and the Qur'an returns to his family and informs them of his news every day and night, and tends to him as the compassionate father tends to his child with news; if one of his children learns the Qur'an, it gives him glad tidings of that, and if his offspring are evil offspring, it supplicates for them for righteousness and devotion, or as was mentioned. And this hadith we do not know to be narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) with this wording except through this channel; and Khalid ibn Ma'dan did not hear from Mu'adh; we only mentioned it because we did not preserve it from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) except through this channel, so for that we mentioned it; and it is the reward of the Qur'an that comes, and the proof of that is that it is narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): That a morsel or a piece of bread comes on the Day of Resurrection like Uhud — and it is its reward that comes; so everything of that narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) of what will be in the Hereafter, it is the reward.
