Hadith of Sabrah ibn Abi Fakih (RA)

حديث سبرة بن أبي فاكه

Hadith 238:1

Hashim ibn al-Qasim narrated to us, he said: Abu Aqil—meaning al-Thaqafi, Abdullah ibn Aqil—narrated to us, Musa ibn al-Musayyab narrated to us, Salim ibn Abi al-Ja'd informed me, from Sabra ibn Abi Fakih, he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, saying: "Indeed, Satan sat for the son of Adam on his paths. He sat for him on the path of Islam, and said to him: 'Will you submit and abandon your religion, and the religion of your fathers, and the fathers of your father?'" He said: "So he disobeyed him and submitted." "Then he sat for him on the path of migration, and said: 'Will you migrate and abandon your land and your sky? For the likeness of the emigrant is like a horse on a tether.'" He said: "So he disobeyed him and migrated." "Then he sat for him on the path of Jihad, and said: 'It is the exertion of the soul and the wealth. So you fight and are killed, then the woman is married and the wealth is divided.'" He said: "So he disobeyed him and performed Jihad." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: "Whoever among them does that and dies, it is a right upon Allah to admit him into Paradise. Or if he is killed, it is a right upon Allah to admit him into Paradise. Or if he drowns, it is a right upon Allah to admit him into Paradise. Or if his mount breaks his neck, it is a right upon Allah to admit him into Paradise."

حدثنا هاشم بن القاسم، قال: حدثنا أبو عقيل يعني الثقفي عبد الله بن عقيل، حدثنا موسى بن المسيب ، أخبرني سالم بن أبي الجعد، عن سبرة بن أبي فاكه، قال: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: " إن الشيطان قعد لابن آدم بأطرقه ، فقعد له بطريق الإسلام، فقال له: أتسلم وتذر دينك، ودين آبائك، وآباء أبيك؟ " قال: " فعصاه، فأسلم، ثم قعد له بطريق الهجرة، فقال: أتهاجر وتذر أرضك، وسماءك، وإنما مثل المهاجر كمثل الفرس في الطول " قال: " فعصاه فهاجر " قال: " ثم قعد له بطريق الجهاد، فقال : هو جهد النفس، والمال، فتقاتل فتقتل، فتنكح المرأة، ويقسم المال " قال: " فعصاه فجاهد " فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " فمن فعل ذلك منهم فمات، كان حقا على الله أن يدخله الجنة، أو قتل كان حقا على الله أن يدخله الجنة، وإن غرق كان حقا على الله أن يدخله الجنة، أو وقصته دابة كان حقا على الله أن يدخله الجنة "
