حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُلَاثَةَ الْقَاضِي أَبُو سَهْلٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ عَنِ الْفَرَزْدَقِ بْنِ حَنَانٍ الْقَاصِّ قَالَ أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكُمْ حَدِيثًا سَمِعَتْهُ أُذُنَايَ وَوَعَاهُ قَلْبِي لَمْ أَنْسَهُ بَعْدُ خَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَعُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ حَيْدَةَ فِي طَرِيقِ الشَّامِ فَمَرَرْنَا بِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فَقَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَوْمِكُمَا أَعْرَابِيٌّ جَافٍ جَرِيءٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيْنَ الْهِجْرَةُ إِلَيْكَ حَيْثُمَا كُنْتَ أَمْ إِلَى أَرْضٍ مَعْلُومَةٍ أَوْ لِقَوْمٍ خَاصَّةً أَمْ إِذَا مُتَّ انْقَطَعَتْ قَالَ فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ عَنْ الْهِجْرَةِ قَالَ هَا أَنَا ذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ إِذَا أَقَمْتَ الصَّلَاةَ وَآتَيْتَ الزَّكَاةَ فَأَنْتَ مُهَاجِرٌ وَإِنْ مُتَّ بِالْحَضْرَمَةِ قَالَ يَعْنِي أَرْضًا بِالْيَمَامَةِ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ ثِيَابَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ أَتُنْسَجُ نَسْجًا أَمْ تُشَقَّقُ مِنْ ثَمَرِ الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ فَكَأَنَّ الْقَوْمَ تَعَجَّبُوا مِنْ مَسْأَلَةِ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ فَقَالَ مَا تَعْجَبُونَ مِنْ جَاهِلٍ يَسْأَلُ عَالِمًا قَالَ فَسَكَتَ هُنَيَّةً ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ عَنْ ثِيَابِ الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ أَنَا قَالَ لَا بَلْ تُشَقَّقُ مِنْ ثَمَرِ الْجَنَّةِ.
English Translation
Abu Kamil narrated to us: Ziyad ibn Abdullah ibn Ulathah the judge, Abu Sahl, narrated, al-Ala ibn Rafi narrated from al-Farazdaq ibn Hanan the story-teller who said: Shall I not narrate to you a hadith that my ears heard and my heart retained, which I have not forgotten since? I went out with Ubayd Allah ibn Ziyad to a gathering and we met Abdullah ibn Amr. He said: "Indeed, when a man comes to his brother and asks about him and his condition and about the people of his household - he only asks about himself and his own condition - then he says 'How is your food? How is your drink?' and he is only asking about his own condition - that is the most truthful of men." Then he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) saying: "Whoever meets Allah on the Day of Resurrection without associating anything with Him, no sin will harm him."
