Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ لَهِيعَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قَبِيلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نَاشِرٍ مِنْ بَنِي سَرِيعٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا رُهْمٍ قَاصَّ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ خَيَّرَنِي بَيْنَ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا يَدْخَلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ وَبَيْنَ الْخَبِيئَةِ عِنْدَهُ لِأُمَّتِي فَقَالَ لَهُ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُخَبِّئُ ذَلِكَ رَبُّكَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ وَهُوَ يُكَبِّرُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ زَادَنِي مَعَ كُلِّ أَلْفٍ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا وَالْخَبِيئَةُ عِنْدَهُ قَالَ أَبُو رُهْمٍ يَا أَبَا أَيُّوبَ وَمَا تَظُنُّ خَبِيئَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَكَلَهُ النَّاسُ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ فَقَالُوا وَمَا أَنْتَ وَخَبِيئَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ دَعُوا الرَّجُلَ عَنْكُمْ أُخْبِرْكُمْ عَنْ خَبِيئَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَمَا أَظُنُّ بَلْ كَالْمُسْتَيْقِنِ إِنَّ خَبِيئَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَقُولَ رَبِّ مَنْ شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ مُصَدِّقًا لِسَانَهُ قَلْبُهُ أَدْخِلْهُ الْجَنَّةَ.
English Translation
Hasan ibn Musa narrated to us, Abdullah ibn Lahi'ah narrated to us, Abu Qabil narrated to us, from Abdullah ibn Nashir of Banu Sari', who said: I heard Abu Ruhm, the storyteller of the people of Syria, say: I heard Abu Ayyub al-Ansari say: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came out to them one day and said to them: Your Lord, Mighty and Majestic, gave me a choice between seventy thousand entering Paradise without reckoning, and the treasure He holds for my nation. One of his companions said to him: O Messenger of Allah, does your Lord keep such a treasure hidden? So the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, went in, then came back out saying the takbir, and said: My Lord, Mighty and Majestic, has increased it for me — with every thousand, seventy thousand more — and the treasure remains held with Him. Abu Ruhm said: O Abu Ayyub, what do you suppose is the hidden treasure of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him? The people speculated loudly and said: What is it to you and the treasure of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him? So Abu Ayyub said: Leave the man be; I will tell you about the hidden treasure of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, as I suppose — rather, as one certain: the hidden treasure of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, is that he will say: My Lord, whoever bore witness that there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, his heart confirming what his tongue professed — admit him into Paradise.
