مُسْنَدُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ خَادِمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
Three-Narrator Ahadith 91
Muḥammad ibn Fuḍayl narrated to us:
al-Mukhtār ibn Fulful narrated to us, from Anas ibn Mālik, who said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said one day, having finished the prayer and turned to face them, “O people, I am your imam, so do not precede me in bowing or in prostration, nor in standing or in sitting, nor in leaving [the prayer], for I see you from in front of me and from behind me. By Him in whose Hand is my soul, had you seen what I have seen, you would have laughed little and wept much.” They said, “Messenger of Allah, what did you see?” He said, “I saw Paradise and the Fire.” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 91
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُخْتَارُ بْنُ فُلْفُلٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ، وَقَدِ انْصَرَفَ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ، فَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ: «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنِّي إِمَامُكُمْ فَلَا تَسْبِقُونِي بِالرُّكُوعِ وَلَا بِالسُّجُودِ، وَلَا بِالْقِيَامِ وَلَا بِالْقُعُودِ وَلَا بِالِانْصِرَافِ، فَإِنِّي أَرَاكُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِي، وَمِنْ خَلْفِي، وَايْمُ الَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَوْ رَأَيْتُمْ مَا رَأَيْتُ، لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلًا، وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا» قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا رَأَيْتَ؟ قَالَ: «رَأَيْتُ الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ»
