Hadith 83
۞
1. I was told by my father, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: I was told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Qasim bin Muhammed al-Esbahani, from Sulayman bin Dawud al-Manqari, from Hafs bin Ghiyath al-Nakha’I, the Judge, from Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, that he said: Iblees came to Musa bin Imran, peace be upon him, while he was conversing with his Lord, and then an Angel from the Angels said to him: What do you seek from him while he is in this condition, conversing with his Lord? Then he said
I seek from him what I sought from his father, Adam, when he was in the Garden. Among what He conversed to him was that He said to him: O Musa, I do not accept the prayer except for he who humbled to My Greatness, constraints his heart to fear Me, covers his day with My remembrance, does not settle a night whilst insisting on intentional mistake and knows the truth of My Allies and Beloved. Then he said: O Lord, do you mean by Your Beloved and Allies, Ibrahim, Ishaq and Ya’qoub? He said: They are as such, O Musa, however, I intended he because of whom I created Adam and Hawwa’, and he because of whom I created Paradise and the Fire. Then Musa said: And who is he, O Lord? He said: Muhammed, Ahmad, I derived his name from My Name, because I am the Praised . Then Musa said: O Lord, make me among his nation. He said: You are, O Musa, from his nation if you know him, know his rank and the rank of his Household. Indeed, the example of him and the example of his Household and that which I have created, is like the example of Firdaus in the Gardens, whose trees never dry, nor does its taste change. Hence, those who know them and know their truth, I will make for him at the occasion of ignorance, forbearance, and at the occasion of darkness, a light, and I will respond to him before he calls unto Me and I will give him before he asks Me. The narration is long, we took from it the place of need.
حدثني أبي - رضي الله عنه - قال: حدثني سعد بن عبد الله، عن القاسم بن محمد الأصبهاني، عن سليمان بن داود المنقري، عن حفص بن غياث النخعي القاضي، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال
جاء إبليس إلى موسى بن عمران عليه السلام وهو يناجي ربه، فقال له ملك من الملائكة: ما ترجو منه وهو على هذه الحال يناجي ربه؟ فقال: أرجو منه ما رجوت من أبيه آدم وهو في الجنة. وكان فيما ناجاه أن قال له: يا موسى لا أقبل الصلاة إلا لمن تواضع لعظمتي، وألزم قلبه خوفي، وقطع نهاره بذكري، ولم يبت مصرا على الخطيئة، وعرف حق أوليائي وأحبائي. فقال: يا رب تعني بأحبائك وأوليائك إبراهيم وإسحاق ويعقوب، فقال: هم كذلك يا موسى، إلا أني أردت من من أجله خلقت آدم وحواء ومن من أجله خلقت الجنة والنار. فقال موسى: ومن هو يا رب؟ فقال: محمد أحمد شققت اسمه من اسمي لأني أنا المحمود. فقال موسى: يا رب اجعلني من أمته. قال: أنت يا موسى من أمته إذا عرفته وعرفت منزلته ومنزلة أهل بيته، إن مثله ومثل أهل بيته و من خلقت كمثل الفردوس في الجنان، لا ييبس ورقها، ولا يتغير طعمها، فمن عرفهم و عرف حقهم جعلت له عند الجهل حلما، وعند الظلم نورا، وأجيبه قبل أن يدعوني وأعطيه قبل أن يسألني. والحديث طويل أخذنا منه موضع الحاجة.
