Narrated by Abdullah ibn Yusuf, who narrated from Al-Layth, from Sa’id (Al-Maqburi), from Shareek ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Namir, that he heard Anas ibn Malik say, “While we were sitting with the Prophet (peace be upon him) in the mosque, a man entered riding a camel. He made it kneel in the mosque, then he tied its foreleg and asked, ‘Which of you is Muhammad?’ The Prophet (peace be upon him) was reclining between two men. We said, ‘This white man who is leaning on his companions.’ The man addressed the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said, ‘O son of Abd al-Muttalib!’ The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, ‘I have answered you.’ The man said to the Prophet (peace be upon him), ‘I ask you by Allah and by the Lord of those who came before you, has Allah sent you to all the people?’ The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, ‘Yes.’ The man further asked, ‘I adjure you by Allah, Allah has ordered you to offer five prayers a day and night.’ The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, ‘Yes.’ The man further asked, ‘I adjure you by Allah, Allah has ordered you to observe fasting during this month of the year.’ The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, ‘Yes.’ The man further asked, ‘I adjure you by Allah, Allah has ordered you to take Zakat (charity) from our rich and distribute it amongst our poor.’ The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, ‘Yes.’ Thereupon, the man said, ‘I have believed in all that with which you have been sent, and I am a Messenger from my people. I have left my people while they were disputing about their water, and I have come to ask you to pray to Allah to bless my people.'” Anas added, “When we saw that the man was a Bedouin, we accepted his excuse.” This Hadith is also narrated by Musa and ‘Ali bin Abdullah bin Al-Madin, from Thabit, from Anas from the Prophet (peace be upon him).
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ ـ هُوَ الْمَقْبُرِيُّ ـ عَنْ شَرِيكِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي نَمِرٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى جَمَلٍ فَأَنَاخَهُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، ثُمَّ عَقَلَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَيُّكُمْ مُحَمَّدٌ وَالنَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مُتَّكِئٌ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيْهِمْ. فَقُلْنَا هَذَا الرَّجُلُ الأَبْيَضُ الْمُتَّكِئُ. فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ ابْنَ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ” قَدْ أَجَبْتُكَ ”. فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِنِّي سَائِلُكَ فَمُشَدِّدٌ عَلَيْكَ فِي الْمَسْأَلَةِ فَلاَ تَجِدْ عَلَىَّ فِي نَفْسِكَ. فَقَالَ ” سَلْ عَمَّا بَدَا لَكَ ”. فَقَالَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِرَبِّكَ وَرَبِّ مَنْ قَبْلَكَ، آللَّهُ أَرْسَلَكَ إِلَى النَّاسِ كُلِّهِمْ فَقَالَ ” اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ ”. قَالَ أَنْشُدُكَ بِاللَّهِ، آللَّهُ أَمَرَكَ أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ فِي الْيَوْمِ وَاللَّيْلَةِ قَالَ ” اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ ”. قَالَ أَنْشُدُكَ بِاللَّهِ، آللَّهُ أَمَرَكَ أَنْ نَصُومَ هَذَا الشَّهْرَ مِنَ السَّنَةِ قَالَ ” اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ ”. قَالَ أَنْشُدُكَ بِاللَّهِ، آللَّهُ أَمَرَكَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَةَ مِنْ أَغْنِيَائِنَا فَتَقْسِمَهَا عَلَى فُقَرَائِنَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ” اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ ”. فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ آمَنْتُ بِمَا جِئْتَ بِهِ، وَأَنَا رَسُولُ مَنْ وَرَائِي مِنْ قَوْمِي، وَأَنَا ضِمَامُ بْنُ ثَعْلَبَةَ أَخُو بَنِي سَعْدِ بْنِ بَكْرٍ. رَوَاهُ مُوسَى وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِهَذَا.
