حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ أَبِي دَاوُدَ قَالَ لَقِيتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيَّ وَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي وَضَحِكَ فِي وَجْهِي قَالَ تَدْرِي لِمَ فَعَلْتُ هَذَا بِكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَا أَدْرِي وَلَكِنْ لَا أَرَاكَ فَعَلْتَهُ إِلَّا لِخَيْرٍ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَقِيَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَفَعَلَ بِي مِثْلَ الَّذِي فَعَلْتُ بِكَ فَسَأَلَنِي فَقُلْتُ مِثْلَ الَّذِي قُلْتَ لِي فَقَالَ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمَيْنِ يَلْتَقِيَانِ فَيُسَلِّمُ أَحَدُهُمَا عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ وَيَأْخُذُ بِيَدِهِ لَا يَأْخُذُهُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَا يَتَفَرَّقَانِ حَتَّى يُغْفَرَ لَهُمَا.
الترجمة الإنجليزية
Ibn Numayr told us: Malik informed us, from Abu Dawud, who said: I met al-Bara' ibn Azib, and he greeted me, took my hand, and smiled in my face. He said, "Do you know why I did this to you?" I said, "I do not know, but I would not think you did it except for something good." He said, "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, met me and did to me the same as what I did to you. He asked me, and I said the same as what you said to me. He said: 'There are no two Muslims who meet, and one of them greets his companion and takes his hand, taking it only for the sake of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, but they do not part until they are forgiven.'"
