Narrated Musa and 'Eisa, the sons of Talhah: from their father: The Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) said, to an unknowing Bedouin man: 'Ask him who it is that has fulfilled his vow.' They were not in the habit of asking questions out of their respect and reverence for him. So the Bedouin asked him, but he turned away from him. Then he asked him again, but he turned away from him. Then again he asked him, but he turned away from him. Then I stood looking from the door of the Masjid, while I was wearing a green garment, and I saw the Prophet (ﷺ), he said: 'Where is the one who was asking about the one who fulfilled his vow?' The Bedouin said: 'Here I am O Messenger of Allah!' The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'This is one who has fulfilled his vow.'
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ يَحْيَى، عَنْ مُوسَى، وَعِيسَى ابني طلحة، عَنْ أَبِيهِمَا طَلْحَةَ، أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالُوا لِأَعْرَابِيٍّ جَاهِلٍ: سَلْهُ عَمَّنْ قَضَى نَحْبَهُ مَنْ هُوَ ؟ وَكَانُوا لَا يَجْتَرِئُونَ عَلَى مَسْأَلَتِهِ يُوَقِّرُونَهُ وَيَهَابُونَهُ، فَسَأَلَهُ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ، فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ، ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ، ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ، ثُمَّ إِنِّي اطَّلَعْتُ مِنْ بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ وَعَلَيَّ ثِيَابٌ خُضْرٌ، فَلَمَّا رَآنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ عَمَّنْ قَضَى نَحْبَهُ ؟ قَالَ الأَعْرَابِيُّ: أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: هَذَا مِمَّنْ قَضَى نَحْبَهُ ، قَالَ: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ، لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ يُونُسَ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ.
Explanation
تفسير الحديث
This hadith describes an incident between the companions of the Prophet and an ignorant Bedouin who was inquiring about someone who had passed away. The companions of the Prophet were hesitant to ask the Prophet directly due to their respect and reverence for him. However, the Bedouin persisted in his question, demonstrating his courage and willingness to seek religious knowledge. Ultimately, the Prophet acknowledged the Bedouin, saying he belonged among those who have fulfilled their duties, referring to those who have died for the sake of God, which emphasizes the value of bravery, adherence to Islam, and the significance of knowing religious truths.
هذا الحديث يتحدث عن موقف حدث بين الصحابة وأعرابي كان يسأل عن شخص قُضي نحبه، وقد أظهر الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم تقديراً خاصاً له عندما رأى علامات الأخضر على الأعرابي. حيث إن الصحابة كانوا يخشون السؤال مباشرة، لكن الأعرابي أصر على سؤاله، مما يدل على شجاعة الأعرابي ورغبته في معرفة الأمور الدينية. وفي النهاية، أكد الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم على أهمية الأعرابي، مشيراً إلى أنه من المتواجدين في نظر الله من قضى نحبه، أي من استشهد في سبيل الله. هذه القصة تعكس قيمة الشجاعة والطاعة للإسلام وأهمية معرفة الحقائق الدينية.
