[4871] 111 - (1879) It was narrated from Abû Sallâm that he said: “An-Nu'mân bin Bashîr told me: 'I was at the Minbar of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and a man said: "I would not care if I did not do any good deed after becoming Muslim, except providing water to the pilgrims." Another said: "I would not care if I did not do any good deed after becoming Muslim, except visiting and maintaining Al-Masjid Al-Harâm." Another man said: "Jihâd in the cause of Allâh is better than what you have said." 'Umar rebuked them and said: "Do not raise your voices beside the Minbar of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. Today is Friday, so when I have prayed Jumu'ah, I will go in and ask him (the Prophet ﷺ) about that concerning which you are differing." Then Allâh revealed the words: 'Do you consider the providing of drinking water to the pilgrims and the maintenance of Al-Masjid Al-Harâm (at Makkah) as equal to the worth of those who believe in Allâh and the Last Day, and strive hard and fight in the cause of Allâh? They are not equal before Allâh. And Allâh guides not those people who are the wrongdoers.'[1]

111 - (1879) حَدَّثَنِي حَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْحُلْوَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو تَوْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ سَلَّامٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَلَّامٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي النُّعْمَانُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: مَا أُبَالِي أَنْ لَا أَعْمَلَ عَمَلًا بَعْدَ الْإِسْلَامِ إِلَّا أَنْ أُسْقِيَ الْحَاجَّ، وَقَالَ آخَرُ: مَا أُبَالِي أَنْ لَا أَعْمَلَ عَمَلًا بَعْدَ الْإِسْلَامِ إِلَّا أَنْ أَعْمُرَ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ، وَقَالَ آخَرُ: الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَفْضَلُ مِمَّا قُلْتُمْ، فَزَجَرَهُمْ عُمَرُ، وَقَالَ: لَا تَرْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَكُمْ عِنْدَ مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ، وَلَكِنْ إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ الْجُمُعَةَ دَخَلْتُ فَاسْتَفْتَيْتُهُ فِيمَا اخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِيهِ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {أَجَعَلْتُمْ سِقَايَةَ الْحَاجِّ وَعِمَارَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ كَمَنْ آمَنَ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ} [التوبة: 19] الْآيَةَ إِلَى آخِرِهَا،
