حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ، عَنِ الْمُشَعَّثِ بْنِ طَرِيفٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " كَيْفَ أَنْتَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ وَمَوْتًا يُصِيبُ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يُقَوَّمَ الْبَيْتُ بِالْوَصِيفِ " . يَعْنِي الْقَبْرَ قُلْتُ مَا خَارَ اللَّهُ لِي وَرَسُولُهُ - أَوْ قَالَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ - قَالَ " تَصَبَّرْ " . قَالَ " كَيْفَ أَنْتَ وَجُوعًا يُصِيبُ النَّاسَ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ مَسْجِدَكَ فَلاَ تَسْتَطِيعَ أَنْ تَرْجِعَ إِلَى فِرَاشِكَ وَلاَ تَسْتَطِيعَ أَنْ تَقُومَ مِنْ فِرَاشِكَ إِلَى مَسْجِدِكَ " . قَالَ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ أَوْ - مَا خَارَ اللَّهُ لِي وَرَسُولُهُ - قَالَ " عَلَيْكَ بِالْعِفَّةِ " . ثُمَّ قَالَ " كَيْفَ أَنْتَ وَقَتْلاً يُصِيبُ النَّاسَ حَتَّى تُغْرَقَ حِجَارَةُ الزَّيْتِ بِالدَّمِ " . قُلْتُ مَا خَارَ اللَّهُ لِي وَرَسُولُهُ . قَالَ " الْحَقْ بِمَنْ أَنْتَ مِنْهُ " . قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلاَ آخُذُ بِسَيْفِي فَأَضْرِبَ بِهِ مَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ " شَارَكْتَ الْقَوْمَ إِذًا وَلَكِنِ ادْخُلْ بَيْتَكَ " . قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَإِنْ دُخِلَ بَيْتِي قَالَ " إِنْ خَشِيتَ أَنْ يَبْهَرَكَ شُعَاعُ السَّيْفِ فَأَلْقِ طَرَفَ رِدَائِكَ عَلَى وَجْهِكَ فَيَبُوءَ بِإِثْمِهِ وَإِثْمِكَ فَيَكُونَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّارِ " .
It was narrated from Abu Dharr that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH)said: “What will you do, O Abu Dharr, when death overwhelms thepeopleto such an extent that a grave will be equal in value to aslave?” Isaid: “Whatever Allah and His Messenger choose for me,or Allah andHis Messenger know best.” He said “Be patient.” Hesaid: ‘What willyou do when famine strikes the people so that youwill go to the placewhere you pray and will not be able to return toyour bed, or you willnot be able to get up from your bed to go tothe place where youpray?” He said: “I said: ‘Allah and HisMessenger know best, orwhatever Allah and His Messenger choose forme.” He said: “You mustrefrain from forbidden things.” Hesaid: “What will you do whenkilling befalls the people so thatHijaratuz-Zait*is covered withblood?” I said: “Whatever Allahand His Messenger choose for me.” Hesaid: “Stay with those whomyou belong to.” He said: “I said: ‘OMessenger of Allah, shouldI not take my sword and strike those who dothat?’” He said:“Then you will be just like the people. Rather enteryour house.”I said: “O Messenger of Allah, what if they enter myhouse?” Hesaid: “If you are afraid that the flashing of the swordwill dazzleyou, then put the edge of your garment over your face, andlet himcarry his own sin and your sin, and he will be one of thepeople ofthe Hellfire.” Translation Not Available
