حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ قَالَ أَتَيْنَا خَبَّابَ بْنَ الْأَرَتِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ نَعُودُهُ وَقَدْ اكْتَوَى فِي بَطْنِهِ سَبْعًا فَقَالَ لَوْلَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَانَا أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ لَدَعَوْتُ بِهِ فَقَدْ طَالَ بِي مَرَضِي ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَنَا الَّذِينَ مَضَوْا لَمْ تُنْقِصْهُمْ الدُّنْيَا شَيْئًا وَإِنَّا أَصَبْنَا بَعْدَهُمْ مَا لَا نَجِدُ لَهُ مَوْضِعًا إِلَّا التُّرَابَ وَقَالَ كَانَ يَبْنِي حَائِطًا لَهُ وَإِنَّ الْمَرْءَ الْمُسْلِمَ يُؤْجَرُ فِي نَفَقَتِهِ كُلِّهَا إِلَّا فِي شَيْءٍ يَجْعَلُهُ فِي التُّرَابِ.
الترجمة الإنجليزية
Yazid told us, Isma'il ibn Abi Khalid informed us, from Qays ibn Abi Hazim, who said: We came to Khabbab ibn al-Aratt, may Allah be pleased with him, to visit him, and he had been cauterized seven times in his belly. He said: "Were it not that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade us to wish for death, I would have wished for it, for my illness has grown long." Then he said: "Our companions who have passed away were not diminished in the least by this world; but we, after them, have obtained wealth for which we find no use except in this dust." He said: He was building a wall of his, and: "The Muslim man is rewarded for all his spending, except for what he places in this dust."
