4341, 4342. Narrated Abū Burda: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ sent Abū Mūsā and Mu'ādh bin Jabal to Yemen. He sent each of them to administer a province as Yemen consisted of two provinces. The Prophet ﷺ said (to them), "Make things easy for the people and do not make things difficult for them [be kind and lenient (both of you) with the people, and do not be hard on them] and give the people glad tidings and do not repel them (i.e. to make them to run away from Islam). So, each of them went to carry on his job. So when anyone of them toured his province and happened to come near (the border of the province of) his companion, he would visit him and greet him. Once, Mu'ādh toured that part of his province which was near (the border of the province of) his companion Abū Mūsā. Mu'ādh came riding his mule till he reached Abū Mūsā and saw him sitting, and the people had gathered around him. Behold! There was a man with his hands tied behind his neck. Mu'ādh said to Abū Mūsā, "O 'Abdullāh bin Qais! What is this?" Abū

4341 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ المَلِكِ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، قَالَ: بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَبَا مُوسَى، وَمُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ إِلَى اليَمَنِ، قَالَ: وَبَعَثَ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا عَلَى مِخْلاَفٍ، قَالَ: وَاليَمَنُ مِخْلاَفَانِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «يَسِّرَا وَلاَ تُعَسِّرَا، وَبَشِّرَا وَلاَ تُنَفِّرَا»، فَانْطَلَقَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا إِلَى عَمَلِهِ، وَكَانَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا إِذَا سَارَ فِي أَرْضِهِ كَانَ قَرِيبًا مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ أَحْدَثَ بِهِ عَهْدًا، فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ، فَسَارَ مُعَاذٌ فِي أَرْضِهِ قَرِيبًا مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ أَبِي مُوسَى، فَجَاءَ يَسِيرُ عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَيْهِ، وَإِذَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ، وَقَدِ اجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ النَّاسُ وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ عِنْدَهُ قَدْ جُمِعَتْ يَدَاهُ إِلَى عُنُقِهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ مُعَاذٌ: يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ أَيُّمَ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: هَذَا رَجُلٌ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ إِسْلاَمِهِ، قَالَ: لاَ أَنْزِلُ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ، قَالَ: إِنَّمَا جِيءَ بِهِ لِذَلِكَ فَانْزِلْ، قَالَ: مَا أَنْزِلُ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَقُتِلَ، ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَقَالَ: يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ، كَيْفَ تَقْرَأُ القُرْآنَ؟ قَالَ: أَتَفَوَّقُهُ تَفَوُّقًا، قَالَ: فَكَيْفَ تَقْرَأُ أَنْتَ يَا مُعَاذُ؟ قَالَ: أَنَامُ أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ، فَأَقُومُ وَقَدْ قَضَيْتُ جُزْئِي مِنَ النَّوْمِ، فَأَقْرَأُ مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لِي، فَأَحْتَسِبُ نَوْمَتِي كَمَا أَحْتَسِبُ قَوْمَتِي
