(18). 3058. Abū Umayah Ash-Sha'bānī said: "I went to Abū Tha'labah Al-Khushanī and said to him: 'How do you deal with this Āyah?' He said: 'Which Āyah?' I said: 'Allāh's saying: Take care of yourselves! If you follow the guidance no harm shall come to you.'[1] He said: 'Well, by Allāh! I asked one well-informed about it, I asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ about it. [So] he said: "Rather, comply with (and order) the good, and stay away from (and prohibit) the evil, until you see avarice obeyed, desires followed, and the world preferred, and everyone with an opinion is amazed with his view. Then you should be worried about yourself in particular, and worry of the common folk. Ahead of you are the days in which patience is like holding onto an ember, for the doer (of righteous deeds) during them is the like of the reward of fifty of those who do the like of what you do." 'Abdullāh bin Al-Mubārak said: "It was added for me, by other than Utbah, that it was said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! The reward of fifty men among us, or among them?' He said: 'No! Rather the reward of fifty men among you.'" (Sahīh) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharib.

٣٠٥٨ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الطَّالْقَانِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌عُتْبَةُ بْنُ أَبِي حَكِيمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَمْرُو بْنُ جَارِيَةَ اللَّخْمِيُّ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ الشَّعْبَانِيِّ قَالَ: «أَتَيْتُ ‌أَبَا ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيَّ ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ بِهَذِهِ الْآيَةِ؟ قَالَ: أَيَّةُ آيَةٍ؟ قُلْتُ: قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْفُسَكُمْ لا يَضُرُّكُمْ مَنْ ضَلَّ إِذَا اهْتَدَيْتُمْ} قَالَ: أَمَا وَاللهِ لَقَدْ سَأَلْتَ عَنْهَا خَبِيرًا، سَأَلْتُ عَنْهَا رَسُولَ اللهِ 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 بِخَاصَّةِ نَفْسِكَ وَدَعِ الْعَوَامَّ، فَإِنَّ مِنْ وَرَائِكُمْ أَيَّامًا الصَّبْرُ فِيهِنَّ مِثْلُ الْقَبْضِ عَلَى الْجَمْرِ، لِلْعَامِلِ فِيهِنَّ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ خَمْسِينَ رَجُلًا يَعْمَلُونَ مِثْلَ عَمَلِكُمْ. قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ: وَزَادَنِي غَيْرُ عُتْبَةَ: قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَجْرُ خَمْسِينَ مِنَّا أَوْ مِنْهُمْ؟ قَالَ: لَا، بَلْ أَجْرُ خَمْسِينَ رَجُلًا مِنْكُمْ». هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ.

Commentary

The result of doing, obeying and caring for the good is enjoining good, and the result of avoiding evil is the prevention of evil. But when the covetousness of wealth prevail upon the people, they become slaves of worldly benefits due to the consequences of following the whims and desires, the people are overwhelmed by the pride of their personal views and by the illusion of their self-liking, and they do not care for listening to others, then there is no need for being distressed by worrying about them.
