2610. 'Abdullāh bin Buraidah narrated from Yahyā bin Ya'mur who said: "The first person to speak about Al-Qadr was Ma'bad Al-Juhani." He said: "Ḥumaid bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān Al-Ḥimyārī and I went out until we reached Al-Madinah, and we said: 'If we could only meet someone among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ so we could ask him about what those people have innovated.'" [He said:] "So we met him – meaning 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar – while he was leaving the Masjid." [He said:] "My companion and I were on either side of him." [He said:] "I thought my companion was going to leave the speaking to me so I
said: 'O Abū 'Abdur-Raḥmān! There is a group of people who recite the Qur'ān and seek knowledge, and they claim that there is no Al-Qadar, and that the affair is left to chance.' He said: "Whenever you meet those people, then tell them that I am not of them and they are not of me. By the One Whom 'Abdullāh swears by! If one of them were to spend gold the like of Uḥud (mountain) in charity, it would not be accepted from him until he believes in Al-Qadr; the good of it and the bad of it." He said: "Then he began to narrate, he said: "Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb said: "We were with the Messenger of Allāh when a man came with extremely white garments, and extremely black hair. He had no appearance of traveling visible on him, yet none of us recognized him. He came until he reached the Prophet ﷺ. He put his knees up against his knees, and then said: 'O Muḥammad! What is Imān?' He said: 'To believe in Allāh, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Day of Judgement, and Al-Qadar, the good of it and the bad of it.' He said: 'Then what is Islam?' He said: 'Testifying to Lā Ilāha Illallāh, and that Muḥammad is His servant and Messenger; establishing the Salāt, giving the Zakāt, performing Hajj to the House, and fasting (the month of) Ramaḍān.' He said: 'Then what is Iḥsān?' He said 'That (is) you worship Allāh as if you see Him, and although you do not see Him,
He certainly sees you.' He said: "For all of those he replied to him: 'You have told the truth.'" He said: "So we were amazed at him, he would ask, and then tell him that he is telling the truth. He said: 'Then when is the Hour?' He ﷺ said: 'The one being asked knows no more than the questioner.' He said: 'Then what are its signs?' He said: 'That the slave woman gives birth to her master, and that the naked, poor, and bare-footed shepherds rival each other in the height of the buildings.'" 'Umar said: "Then the Prophet ﷺ met me three days after that and said: 'O 'Umar! Do you know who the questioner was? It was Jibrīl. He came to teach you about the matters of your religion.'" (Sahih)

٢٦١٠ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَمَّارٍ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ الْخُزَاعِيُّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ كَهْمَسِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَعْمَرَ قَالَ: «أَوَّلُ مَنْ تَكَلَّمَ فِي الْقَدَرِ مَعْبَدٌ الْجُهَنِيُّ،» قَالَ: فَخَرَجْتُ أَنَا
وَحُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ، فَقُلْنَا: لَوْ لَقِينَا رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَسَأَلْنَاهُ عَمَّا أَحْدَثَ هَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمُ، قَالَ: فَلَقِينَاهُ - يَعْنِي عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ وَهُوَ خَارِجٌ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ - قَالَ: فَاكْتَنَفْتُهُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبِي. قَالَ: فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ صَاحِبِي سَيَكِلُ الْكَلَامَ إِلَيَّ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، إِنَّ قَوْمًا يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ وَيَتَقَفَّرُونَ الْعِلْمَ، وَيَزْعُمُونَ أَنْ لَا قَدَرَ، وَأَنَّ الْأَمْرَ أُنُفٌ، قَالَ: فَإِذَا لَقِيتَ أُولَئِكَ فَأَخْبِرْهُمْ أَنِّي مِنْهُمْ بَرِيءٌ، وَأَنَّهُمْ مِنِّي بَرَاءُ، وَالَّذِي يَحْلِفُ بِهِ عَبْدُ اللهِ لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ أَنْفَقَ مِثْلَ أُحُدٍ ذَهَبًا مَا قُبِلَ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ حَتَّى يُؤْمِنَ بِالْقَدَرِ خَيْرِهِ وَشَرِّهِ. قَالَ: ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ يُحَدِّثُ فَقَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ : كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ شَدِيدُ بَيَاضِ الثِّيَابِ شَدِيدُ سَوَادِ الشَّعَرِ لَا يُرَى عَلَيْهِ أَثَرُ السَّفَرِ، وَلَا يَعْرِفُهُ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ حَتَّى أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَلْزَقَ رُكْبَتَهُ بِرُكْبَتِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَا الْإِيمَانُ؟ قَالَ: أَنْ تُؤْمِنَ بِاللهِ، وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ، وَكُتُبِهِ، وَرُسُلِهِ، وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ، وَالْقَدَرِ خَيْرِهِ وَشَرِّهِ. قَالَ: فَمَا الْإِسْلَامُ؟ قَالَ: شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، وَإِقَامُ الصَّلَاةِ، وَإِيتَاءُ الزَّكَاةِ، وَحَجُّ الْبَيْتِ، وَصَوْمُ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ: فَمَا الْإِحْسَانُ؟ قَالَ: أَنْ تَعْبُدَ اللهَ كَأَنَّكَ تَرَاهُ، فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَرَاكَ. قَالَ: فِي كُلِّ ذَلِكَ يَقُولُ لَهُ: صَدَقْتَ، قَالَ: فَتَعَجَّبْنَا مِنْهُ يَسْأَلُهُ وَيُصَدِّقُهُ، قَالَ: فَمَتَى السَّاعَةُ؟ قَالَ: مَا الْمَسْؤُولُ عَنْهَا بِأَعْلَمَ مِنَ السَّائِلِ. قَالَ: فَمَا أَمَارَتُهَا؟ قَالَ: أَنْ تَلِدَ الْأَمَةُ رَبَّتَهَا، وَأَنْ تَرَى الْحُفَاةَ الْعُرَاةَ الْعَالَةَ رِعَاءَ الشَّاءِ يَتَطَاوَلُونَ فِي الْبُنْيَانِ. قَالَ عُمَرُ:
فَلَقِيَنِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِثَلَاثٍ، فَقَالَ: يَا عُمَرُ، هَلْ تَدْرِي مَنِ السَّائِلُ، ذَاكَ جِبْرِيلُ أَتَاكُمْ يُعَلِّمُكُمْ أَمْرَ دِينِكُمْ.
٢٦١٠ (م ١) - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا كَهْمَسُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ.
٢٦١٠ (م ٢) - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ ، عَنْ كَهْمَسٍ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ بِمَعْنَاهُ.
وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، وَأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ.
هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ، قَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ نَحْوُ هَذَا عَنْ عُمَرَ.
وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَالصَّحِيحُ هُوَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ عَنْ عُمَرَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
