حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَاطِبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتَّْ ‏:‏ ‏(‏ثم لَتُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ، ‏)‏ قَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَىُّ النَّعِيمِ نُسْأَلُ عَنْهُ وَإِنَّمَا هُمَا الأَسْوَدَانِ التَّمْرُ وَالْمَاءُ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَمَا إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ ‏.‏
“When the following was revealed: Then on that Day, you shall be asked about the delights!’ Az-Zubair said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Which are the delights that we will be asked about, when they (delights) are but the two black things: dates and water?’ He said: ‘But it is what shall come.’”
Narrated by Abdullah bin Az-Zubair bin Al-Awwam narrated from his father who said:

Context

This narration discusses a conversation between Abdullah bin Az-Zubair and the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) regarding the delights for which people will be questioned on the Day of Judgment.

Modern Application

In our lives, this hadith encourages gratitude for the simple blessings we often take for granted, such as food and water. It also reminds us to prepare for the Hereafter by recognizing that true delights extend beyond worldly possessions.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Day of Judgment and Blessings in Food because it addresses the accountability for blessings in life and the greater rewards that await in the Hereafter.
