2860. Sa'eed bin Hilāl narrated that Jābir bin 'Abdullāh Al-Anṣārī said: "One day the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came out to us and said: 'While I was sleeping I had a vision as if Jibra'il was at my head and Mikā'il was at my feet. One of them said to his companion: 'Make a parable for him' so he said: 'Listen so that your ears may hear. Hearken so that your heart may understand! The parable of you and your Ummah is but the parable of a king who conquers a land, then he constructs a house in it. Then he places a table-spread in it, then he sends a messenger to call the people to eat from it. Among them are those who answer the call of the messenger, and among them are those who forsake it. So Allāh is the king and the land is Islam, and the house is Paradise, and you O Muḥammad! You are the Messenger, so whoever responds to you he enters Islam, and whoever enters Islam he enters Paradise, and whoever enters Paradise, he shall eat of what is in it.'"(Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Mursal. Sa'eed bin Hilāl did not see Jābir bin 'Abdullāh. There is something on this topic from Ibn Mas'ūd, and this Hadīth has been reported through other routes from the Prophet ﷺ with a chain that is more authentic than this.

٢٨٦٠ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ ‌خَالِدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ ‌سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِلَالٍ، أَنَّ ‌جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ قَالَ: «خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ فِي الْمَنَامِ» كَأَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ عِنْدَ رَأْسِي، وَمِيكَائِيلَ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيَّ يَقُولُ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ: اضْرِبْ لَهُ مَثَلًا، فَقَالَ: اسْمَعْ سَمِعَتْ أُذُنُكَ، وَاعْقِلْ عَقَلَ قَلْبِكَ، إِنَّمَا مَثَلُكَ وَمَثَلُ أُمَّتِكَ كَمَثَلِ مَلِكٍ اتَّخَذَ دَارًا، ثُمَّ بَنَى فِيهَا بَيْتًا ثُمَّ جَعَلَ فِيهَا مَائِدَةً، ثُمَّ بَعَثَ رَسُولًا يَدْعُو النَّاسَ إِلَى طَعَامِهِ، فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ أَجَابَ الرَّسُولَ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ تَرَكَهُ، فَاللهُ هُوَ الْمَلِكُ وَالدَّارُ الْإِسْلَامُ وَالْبَيْتُ الْجَنَّةُ وَأَنْتَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ رَسُولٌ، فَمَنْ أَجَابَكَ دَخَلَ الْإِسْلَامَ، وَمَنْ دَخَلَ الْإِسْلَامَ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ، وَمَنْ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ أَكَلَ مَا فِيهَا. وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مِنْ غَيْرِ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِإِسْنَادٍ أَصَحَّ مِنْ هَذَا. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ مُرْسَلٌ، سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِلَالٍ لَمْ يُدْرِكْ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ، وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ.
