حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ حَدَّثَنَا زَبَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ أَمَرَ أَصْحَابَهُ بِالْغَزْوِ وَأَنَّ رَجُلًا تَخَلَّفَ وَقَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ أَتَخَلَّفُ حَتَّى أُصَلِّيَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الظُّهْرَ ثُمَّ أُسَلِّمَ عَلَيْهِ وَأُوَدِّعَهُ فَيَدْعُوَ لِي بِدَعْوَةٍ تَكُونُ شَافِعَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَقْبَلَ الرَّجُلُ مُسَلِّمًا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَدْرِي بِكَمْ سَبَقَكَ أَصْحَابُكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ سَبَقُونِي بِغَدْوَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ سَبَقُوكَ بِأَبْعَدِ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقَيْنِ وَالْمَغْرِبَيْنِ فِي الْفَضِيلَةِ.
الترجمة الإنجليزية
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) ordered his Companions to go on an expedition. A man stayed behind and said to his family: 'I will stay behind to pray Dhuhr with the Messenger of Allah, then bid him farewell so he may make a supplication for me that will intercede for me on the Day of Resurrection.' When the Prophet finished praying, the man came to greet him. The Messenger of Allah said: 'Do you know how far ahead your companions have gotten?' He said: 'Yes, they preceded me by their morning march.' The Messenger of Allah said: 'By the One in Whose hand is my soul, they have preceded you by a distance as far as between the two easts and the two wests in virtue.'
