عَن أبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: كُنَّا قُعُودًا حَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، مَعَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَعُمَرُ فِي نَفَرٍ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَظْهُرِنَا، فَأَبْطَأَ عَلَيْنَا، وَخَشِينَا أَنْ يُقْتَطَعَ دُونَنَا، وَفَزِعْنَا، فَقُمْنَا، فَكُنْتُ أَوَّلَ مَنْ فَزِعَ، فَخَرَجْتُ أَبْتَغِي رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ حَائِطًا لِلْأَنْصَارِ لِبَنِي النَّجَّارِ، فَدُرْتُ بِهِ هَلْ أَجِدُ لَهُ بَابًا؟ فَلَمْ أَجِدْ، فَإِذَا رَبِيعٌ يَدْخُلُ فِي جَوْفِ حَائِطٍ مِنْ بِئْرٍ خَارِجَةٍ - وَالرَّبِيعُ الْجَدْوَلُ - فَاحْتَفَزْتُ، فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ» فَقُلْتُ: نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: «مَا شَأْنُكَ؟» قُلْتُ: كُنْتَ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا، فَقُمْتَ فَأَبْطَأْتَ عَلَيْنَا، فَخَشِينَا أَنْ تُقْتَطَعَ دُونَنَا، فَفَزِعْنَا، فَكُنْتُ أَوَّلَ مَنْ فَزِعَ، فَأَتَيْتُ هَذَا الْحَائِطَ، فَاحْتَفَزْتُ كَمَا يَحْتَفِزُ الثَّعْلَبُ، وَهَؤُلَاءِ النَّاسُ وَرَائِي، فَقَالَ: «يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ» وَأَعْطَانِي نَعْلَيْهِ، قَالَ: «اذْهَبْ بِنَعْلَيَّ هَاتَيْنِ، فَمَنْ لَقِيتَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ هَذَا الْحَائِطَ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ مُسْتَيْقِنًا بِهَا قَلْبُهُ، فَبَشِّرْهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ»، فَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ لَقِيتُ عُمَرُ، فَقَالَ: مَا هَاتَانِ النَّعْلَانِ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ؟ فَقُلْتُ: هَاتَانِ نَعْلَا رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، بَعَثَنِي بِهِمَا مَنْ لَقِيتُ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ مُسْتَيْقِنًا بِهَا قَلْبُهُ، بَشَّرْتُهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ، فَضَرَبَ عُمَرُ بِيَدِهِ بَيْنَ ثَدْيَيَّ فَخَرَرْتُ لِاسْتِي، فَقَالَ: ارْجِعْ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَجْهَشْتُ بُكَاءً، وَرَكِبَنِي عُمَرُ، فَإِذَا هُوَ عَلَى أَثَرِي، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا لَكَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ؟» قُلْتُ: لَقِيتُ عُمَرَ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِالَّذِي بَعَثْتَنِي بِهِ، فَضَرَبَ بَيْنَ ثَدْيَيَّ ضَرْبَةً خَرَرْتُ لِاسْتِي، قَالَ: ارْجِعْ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَا عُمَرُ، مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا فَعَلْتَ؟» قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، بِأَبِي أَنْتَ، وَأُمِّي، أَبَعَثْتَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ بِنَعْلَيْكَ، مَنْ لَقِيَ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ مُسْتَيْقِنًا بِهَا قَلْبُهُ بَشَّرَهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ»، قَالَ: فَلَا تَفْعَلْ، فَإِنِّي أَخْشَى أَنْ يَتَّكِلَ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهَا، فَخَلِّهِمْ يَعْمَلُونَ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَخَلِّهِمْ».
Kutoka kwa Abuu Huraira radhi za Mwenyezi Mungu ziwe juu yake amesema: Tulikuwa tumekaa pembezoni mwa Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake akiwa pamoja nasi Abubakari na Omari radhi za Mwenyezi Mungu ziwe juu yao katika kundi, akasimama Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake mbele yetu, akaondoka na akachelewa, tukahofia asije kudhuriwa mbele yetu, tukapatwa na hofu tukasimama, mimi nilikuwa wa kwanza kufadhaika, nikatoka nikimtafuta Mjumbe wa Mwenyezi Mungu rehema na amani ziwe juu yake mpaka nikafika katika ukuta wa Answari (watu wa Madina) katika ukoo wa bani Najjar, nikauzunguka ili nipate mahala mlango ulipo, sikuupata! Ghafla nikaona kimviringo kidogo kinachoingia ndani ya ukuta kutokea nje kilipo kisima, nikakifukua, nikaingia kwa Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake. Akasema kwa mshangao "Nani we, Abuu Huraira?!" Nikasema: Ndiyo ewe Mjumbe wa Mwenyezi Mungu, akasema: "Nini kimekuleta?" Nikasema: Ulikuwa umekaa pamoja nasi ukasimama ukaondoka na ukachelewa kurudi, tukahofia usije kudhurika mbele yetu, tukapatwa na mfadhaiko, mimi ndiye nilikuwa wa kwanza kufadhaika, nikaja katika ukuta huu, nikafukua kama anavyofukua Mbweha, na hawa watu wako nyuma yangu. Akasema: "Ewe Abuu Huraira" Na akanipa viatu vyake, Akasema: "Nenda na viatu vyangu hivi viwili, yeyote utakayekutana naye mbele ya ukuta huu na hali yakuwa anashuhudia kuwa hapana Mola apasaye kuabudiwa kwa haki isipokuwa Mwenyezi Mungu na moyo ukiwa na yakini kabisa na hilo, basi mpe habari njema kuwa yeye ni katika watu wa peponi", akawa mtu wa kwanza kukutana naye ni Omari. Akasema: "Ni vya nini viatu hivi viwili ewe Abuu Huraira?" Nikasema viatu hivi ni vya Mjumbe wa Mwenyezi Mungu rehema na amani ziwe juu yake, kaniagiza navyo kuwa yeyote nitakayekutana naye na hali yakuwa anashuhudia kuwa hapana Mola apasaye kuabudiwa kwa haki isipokuwa Mwenyezi Mungu na moyo ukiwa na yakini kabisa na hilo, basi nimpe habari njema kuwa yeye ni katika watu wa peponi, Omari akanipiga kibao kwa mkono wake kifuani kwangu kati ya maziwa mawili nikaangukia kisogo changu, akasema: Rudi ewe Abuu Huraira!, nikarudi kwa Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake, nikataka kuangua kilio, akanifuatilia Omari naye akiwa nyuma yangu, nilipofika, akasema Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake "Umekuwaje ewe Abuu Huraira?" Nikasema: Nimekutana na Omari nikamueleza ulichoniagiza, akanipiga kibao kifuani kati ya maziwa yangu mawili, nikaangukia kisogo, akasema: "Rudi!" Basi akasema Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake: "Ewe Omari, ni nini kimekupelekea kufanya ulichokifanya?" Omari akasema: Ewe Mjumbe wa Mwenyezi Mungu, nakuthamini na niko radhi fidia yako kumtoa baba yangu na mama yangu, hivi ni kweli umemtuma Abuu Huraira akiwa na viatu vyako, kuwa atakayekutana naye hali yakuwa anashuhudia kuwa hapana mola apasaye kuabudiwa kwa haki isipokuwa Mwenyezi Mungu na moyo ukiwa na yakini kabisa na hilo, basi ampe habari njema kuwa yeye ni katika watu wa peponi? Akasema: "Ndiyo nimemtuma", Omari akasema: Ni bora usifanye hivyo, hakika mimi nahofia watu watabweteka na hilo, acha watende, akasema Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake: "Basi Abuu Huraira waache".
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: We were sitting around the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), and among us were Abu Bakr and ‘Umar, along with a group of people. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and left. When he delayed returning, we feared that he would be taken away from us. We felt terrified and got up, and I was the first to feel terrified. I went out searching for the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) until I came upon an orchard belonging to the Ansār, from Banu An-Najjār. I looked around for an entrance but could not find one. Then I noticed a streamlet entering the orchard through a well outside the orchard. I crouched down and entered upon the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). He said: "Abu Hurayrah." I said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah. He said: "What is the matter with you?" I said: You were among us, then you left and delayed in returning. We feared that you would be taken away from us, and we felt terrified. I was the first to feel terrified, so I came to this orchard. I crouched down as a fox would crouch down, and those people are behind me. So he said: "O Abu Hurayrah," and gave me his two sandals, saying: "Take these two sandals of mine and go. Whoever you meet beyond this orchard who bears witness that there is no god but Allah, with full certainty in his heart, give him the glad tidings of Paradise." The first one I met was ‘Umar. He said: What are these sandals, O Abu Hurayrah? I said: These are the sandals of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). He sent me with them to give glad tidings of Paradise to anyone I meet who bears witness that there is no god but Allah, with full certainty in his heart. ‘Umar struck me on my chest with his hand, causing me to fall on my backside. He said: Go back, O Abu Hurayrah. I returned to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), and I was about to weep, and ‘Umar was following close behind me. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What is the matter, O Abu Hurayrah?" I said: I met ‘Umar and told him about what you sent me with. He struck me on my chest with such a strike that it caused me to fall on my back, and he told me to go back.The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O ‘Umar, what caused you to do that?" ‘Umar said: O Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you! Did you send Abu Hurayrah with your sandals to give glad tidings of Paradise to anyone who bears witness that there is no god but Allah, with full certainty in his heart? He said: "Yes." ‘Umar said: Then do not do that, for I fear that people may rely on this. Let them continue to work. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then let them."
Pupa kubwa ya Maswahaba radhi za Allah ziwe juu yao, kwa Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake na pupa yao juu ya usalama wake dhidi ya kila kero.
Sheria ya kutoa habari njema za kheri na zenye kufurahisha.
Imani ni kauli na matendo na itikadi.
Amesema Kadhi Iyadhi na wengineo: Na si kwamba kitendo cha Omari radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake kumwendea Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake ni kupinga na kukataa amri yake; kwani hakuna katika lile aliloagizwa Abuu Huraira zaidi ya kufurahisha Umma na kuwapa habari njema, Omari radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake akaona kulificha hilo ndio kuna masilahi kwao na ndio bora zaidi ili wasibweteke, na kwamba hilo linawapa hamasa zaidi ya kufanya kheri kuliko bishara hii ya haraka, alipolifikisha kwa Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake akaliona kuwa ni sahihi.
Amesema Nawawi: Na katika hadithi hii nikuwa kiongozi na mtu mkubwa yeyote watakapoona jambo na wafuasi wake wakaona kinyume na hivyo; ni wajibu kwa kiongozi alifikishe kwa wafuasi ili walitazame, ikiwa itabainika kuwa alichokisema kiongozi ni sahihi basi watakichukua na kama si sahihi basi kiongozi anawajibu wa kuweka wazi utata uliofikishwa kwake.
Inafaa kujizuia kutosambaza baadhi ya elimu ambazo hazina haja kwa watu kwa ajili ya masilahi au kuhofia madhara.
Bishara kubwa kwa watu wa tauhidi, na kwamba atakayekufa hali yakuwa anashuhudia kwamba hapana mola apasaye kuabudiwa kwa haki isipokuwa Mwenyezi Mungu, kwa kutakasa moyo wake katika hilo basi anasatahiki pepo.
Nguvu ya Omari radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake, na hekima yake, na upana wa uelewa wake.
Amesema Nawawi: Na hapa kuna kufaa mtu kuingilia miliki ya mtu mwingine pasina idhini yake anapojua kuwa anaridhia hilo, kwa sababu ya mapenzi yaliyo kati yao, au kinginecho.
