2496. It was reported from Sufyān, from Qan'ab, from 'Alqamah bin Marthad, from Ibn Buraidah, from his father, who said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'The sanctity of the womenfolk of the Mujāhidīn to those who do not participate (in the military expedition) is like that of their own mothers. And there is no man among those who do not participate entrusted by a man among the Mujāhidīn, to look after his family, (and he betrays him) except that he will be stood up for him on the Day of Judgment. It will be said to him: "This one was entrusted to (look after) your family (and he betrayed), take whatever you want from his good merits." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ turned towards us and said: 'So what do you think?'" (Sahih) (Abū Sa'eed said: "Abū Dāwud said: 'Qa' nab was a righteous man, and Ibn Abī Lailā wanted to appoint him as a judge.' He said: 'Qa' nab refused, and Qan'ab said: "I may have a need for a Dirham and seek help from someone for it, and who among us does not seek help in time of need.” He said: “Let me leave so I can think about it.” He was sent away and he went in hiding. Sufyan said: “While he was in hiding, the house fell down upon him, and he died.”)

2496 - حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ قَعْنَبٍ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " حُرْمَةُ نِسَاءِ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ عَلَى الْقَاعِدِينَ كَحُرْمَةِ أُمَّهَاتِهِمْ، وَمَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْقَاعِدِينَ يَخْلُفُ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ فِي أَهْلِهِ إِلَّا نُصِبَ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: هَذَا قَدْ خَلَفَكَ فِي أَهْلِكَ، فَخُذْ مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ مَا شِئْتَ "، فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «مَا ظَنُّكُمْ»، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: " كَانَ قَعْنَبٌ رَجُلًا صَالِحًا، وَكَانَ ابْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى، أَرَادَ قَعْنَبًا عَلَى الْقَضَاءِ فَأَبَى عَلَيْهِ، وَقَالَ: أَنَا أُرِيدُ الْحَاجَةَ بِدِرْهَمٍ فَأَسْتَعِينُ عَلَيْهَا بِرَجُلٍ، قَالَ: وَأَيُّنَا لَا يَسْتَعِينُ فِي حَاجَتِهِ، قَالَ: أَخْرِجُونِي حَتَّى أَنْظُرَ فَأُخْرِجَ، فَتَوَارَى، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: بَيْنَمَا هُوَ مُتَوَارٍ إِذْ وَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ الْبَيْتُ، فَمَاتَ "
