Hadith of ‘Utbah ibn ‘Abd al-Sulami Abu al-Walid (RA)

حديث عتبة بن عبد السلمي أبي الوليد

Hadith 529:13

Ali ibn Ishaq narrated to us, Abdullah—meaning Ibn al-Mubarak—narrated to us, Thawr ibn Yazid narrated to us, from Khalid ibn Ma'dan, from Jubayr ibn Nufayr, from Muhammad ibn Abi Umayrah, and he was one of the companions of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, who said: "If a servant were to fall upon his face from the day he was born until he died of old age in the obedience of Allah, he would consider that [deed] insignificant on that Day, and he would wish to be returned to the world so that he could increase in reward and recompense."

حدثنا علي بن إسحاق، حدثنا عبد الله يعني ابن المبارك، حدثنا ثور بن يزيد، عن خالد بن معدان، عن جبير بن نفير، عن محمد بن أبي عميرة، وكان من أصحاب النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: " لو أن عبدا خر على وجهه من يوم ولد، إلى أن يموت هرما في طاعة الله، لحقره ذلك اليوم، ولود أنه رد إلى الدنيا كيما يزداد من الأجر والثواب "
