4341. Abū Umayyah Ash-Sha'bānī said: “I asked Abū Tha'labah Al-Khushanī: ‘O Abū Tha'labah, what do you say about this Verse: “Take care of your own selves.”?’[1] He said: ‘By Allāh, you have asked one who has knowledge about it. I asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ about it and he said: “Rather you should enjoin one another to do that which is good and forbid one another from that which is evil, until when you see avarice being obeyed and whims being followed, this world being preferred and everyone admiring his own opinion, then you should take care of your own self and ignore the common folk. Ahead of you there are days of patience, when patience will be like grasping live coals, and the one who does good deeds will have the reward of fifty men who do deeds like his.” Someone else added: “He said: ‘O Messenger of Allāh, the reward of fifty of them?’ He said: ‘The reward of fifty of you.’” (Hasan)

4341 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْعَتَكِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي حَكِيمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ جَارِيَةَ اللَّخْمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو أُمَيَّةَ الشَّعْبَانِيُّ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيَّ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا ثَعْلَبَةَ، كَيْفَ تَقُولُ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ: {عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْفُسَكُمْ} [المائدة: 105]؟ قَالَ: أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ سَأَلْتَ عَنْهَا خَبِيرًا، سَأَلْتُ عَنْهَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «بَلِ ائْتَمِرُوا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ، وَتَنَاهَوْا عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ، حَتَّى إِذَا رَأَيْتَ شُحًّا مُطَاعًا، وَهَوًى مُتَّبَعًا، وَدُنْيَا مُؤْثَرَةً، وَإِعْجَابَ كُلِّ ذِي رَأْيٍ بِرَأْيِهِ، فَعَلَيْكَ - يَعْنِي - بِنَفْسِكَ، وَدَعْ عَنْكَ الْعَوَامَّ، فَإِنَّ مِنْ وَرَائِكُمْ أَيَّامَ الصَّبْرِ، الصَّبْرُ فِيهِ مِثْلُ قَبْضٍ عَلَى الْجَمْرِ، لِلْعَامِلِ فِيهِمْ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ خَمْسِينَ رَجُلًا يَعْمَلُونَ مِثْلَ عَمَلِهِ»، وَزَادَنِي غَيْرُهُ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَجْرُ خَمْسِينَ مِنْهُمْ؟ قَالَ: «أَجْرُ خَمْسِينَ مِنْكُمْ»
