5629 - While three men were walking...they turned towards a cave in the mountain ينما ثلاثة نفر يتماشون أخذهم المطر، فمالوا إلى غار في الجبل

5629 – حدثنا سعيد بن أبي مريم: حدثنا إسماعيل بن إبراهيم بن عقبة قال: أخبرني نافع، عن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما، عن رسول الله ﷺ قال: (بينما ثلاثة نفر يتماشون أخذهم المطر، فمالوا إلى غار في الجبل، فانحطت على فم غارهم صخرة من الجبل فأطبقت عليهم، فقال بعضهم لبعض: انظروا أعمالاً عملتموها لله صالحة، فادعوا الله بها لعله يفرجها، فقال أحدهم: اللهم إنه كان لي والدان شيخان كبيران، ولي صبية صغار، كنت أرعى عليهم، فإذا رحت عليهم فحلبت بدأت بوالدي أسقيهما قبل ولدي، وإنه نأى بي الشجر يوماً، فما أتيت حتى أمسيت فوجدتهما قد ناما، فحلبت كما كنت أحلب، فجئت بالحلاب فقمت عند رؤوسهما، أكره أن أوقظهما من نومهما، وأكره أن أبدأ بالصبية قبلهما، والصبية يتضاغون عند قدمي، فلم يزل ذلك دأبي ودأبهم حتى طلع الفجر، فإن كنت تعلم أني فعلت ذلك ابتغاء وجهك فافرج لنا فرجة نرى منها السماء. ففرج الله لهم فرجة حتى يرون منها السماء، وقال الثاني: اللهم إنه كانت لي ابنة عم أحبها كأشد ما يحب الرجال النساء، فطلبت إليها نفسها، فأبت حتى آتيها بمائة دينار، فسعيت حتى جمعت مائة دينار فلقيتها بها، فلما قعدت بين رجليها قالت: يا عبد الله اتق الله، ولا تفتح الخاتم إلا بحقه. فقمت عنها، اللهم فإن كنت تعلم أني قد فعلت ذلك ابتغاء وجهك فافرج لنا منها. ففرج لهم فرجة، وقال الآخر: اللهم إني كنت استأجرت أجيراً بفرق أرز، فلما قضى عمله قال: أعطني حقي، فعرضت عليه حقه فتركه ورغب عنه، فلم أزل أزرعه حتى جمعت منه بقراً وراعيها، فجاءني فقال: اتق الله ولا تظلمني وأعطني حقي، فقلت: اذهب إلى تلك البقر وراعيها، فقال: اتق الله ولا تهزأبي، فقلت: إني لا أهزأ بك، فخذ تلك البقر وراعيها، فأخذه فانطلق بها، فإن كنت تعلم أني فعلت ذلك ابتغاء وجهك، فافرج ما بقي. ففرج الله عنهم)

5629 - Saeed bin Abi Maryam told us: Ismail bin Ibrahim bin Uqbah told us: Nafi’ told me, on the authority of Ibn Umar, may God be pleased with them both, on the authority of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, who said: (While three men were walking, rain caught them, and they turned towards a cave in the mountain. A rock fell on the mouth of their cave and closed in on them. Some of them said to one another: Look at the righteous deeds you have done for God, and supplicate to God by them, perhaps He will relieve your distress. One of them said: O God, I had two elderly parents, and I had young children, and I used to tend their flocks. When I went to them and milked them, I would start with my parents and give them water to drink before my children, one day, the trees took me far away, and I did not come back until evening, and I found them asleep, so I milked as I used to milk, and I brought the milking machine and stood at their heads, hating to wake them from their sleep, and hating to start with the children before them, while the children were crying at my feet, and that remained my habit and their habit until dawn came, so if you know that I did that seeking your pleasure, then open for us an opening from which we can see the sky, then Allah made a way for them so that they could see the sky. The second said: O Allah, I had a cousin whom I loved as much as men love women. I sought to have intercourse with her, but she refused until I brought her one hundred dinars. So I hurried until I had collected one hundred dinars and met her with them. When I sat between her legs, she said: O servant of Allah, fear Allah, and do not open the seal except with its right. So I got up from her. O Allah, if You know that I did that seeking Your pleasure, then make a way for us from her. So He made a way for them. The other said: O Allah, I hired a worker for a faraq (amount) of rice, when he had finished his work, he said: Give me my due. I offered him his due, but he left it and refused it. I continued to cultivate it until I had collected cows and their shepherd from it. Then he came to me and said: Fear God and do not wrong me, and give me my due. I said: Go to those cows and their shepherd. He said: Fear God and do not mock. I said: I am not mocking you. Take those cows and their shepherd. So, he took him and went with them. If you know that I did that seeking Your pleasure, then release what remains. So, God released them.
