Chapter: Indifference towards this world
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ دِينَارٍ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ الْعَبْدِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ، قَالَ كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَ ” أَتَتْكُمْ وُفُودُ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ ” . وَمَا يَرَى أَحَدٌ فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ جَاءُوا فَنَزَلُوا فَأَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَبَقِيَ الأَشَجُّ الْعَصَرِيُّ فَجَاءَ بَعْدُ فَنَزَلَ مَنْزِلاً فَأَنَاخَ رَاحِلَتَهُ وَوَضَعَ ثِيَابَهُ جَانِبًا ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ” يَا أَشَجُّ إِنَّ فِيكَ لَخَصْلَتَيْنِ يُحِبُّهُمَا اللَّهُ الْحِلْمَ وَالتُّؤَدَةَ ” . قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَشَىْءٌ جُبِلْتُ عَلَيْهِ أَمْ شَىْءٌ حَدَثَ لِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ” بَلَ شَىْءٌ جُبِلْتَ عَلَيْهِ ” .
Abu
Sa’eed Al-Khudri said: “We were sitting with the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) and he said: ‘The delegations of ‘Abdul-Qais have
come to
you,’ and no one had seen anyone. While we were like that,
they came
and alighted. They came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and
Ashajj
‘Ansari was left behind. He came afterwards, and halted at
the
halting-place, made his she-camel kneel down, and changed of his
traveling clothes, then he came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to him: ‘O Ashajj, you have two
characteristics that Allah likes: Forbearance and deliberation.’ He
said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, was I born with them or are they
acquired?’ He said: ‘No, rather it is something that you were
born
with.’”
