To make the Heart Tender (Ar-Riqaq)
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
"أَنَا فَرَطُكُمْ، عَلَى الْحَوْضِ، وَلَيُرْفَعَنَّ رِجَالٌ مِنْكُمْ ثُمَّ لَيُخْتَلَجُنَّ دُونِي فَأَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ أَصْحَابِي. فَيُقَالُ إِنَّكَ لاَ تَدْرِي مَا أَحْدَثُوا بَعْدَكَ". تَابَعَهُ عَاصِمٌ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ. وَقَالَ حُصَيْنٌ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I
am your predecessor at the Lake-Fount, and some of you will be brought in front of me till I will see
them and then they will be taken away from me and I will say, 'O Lord, my companions!' It will be
said, 'You do not know what they did after you had left.'
Narrated by `Abdullah added:
Context
The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) speaks of his role as a predecessor at the Lake-Fount, indicating a future event where some of his companions will be distanced from him. This hadith serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of maintaining faith and good deeds, as the Prophet will be unaware of the actions taken by some after his departure, emphasizing accountability in the afterlife.
Topics
This hadith is tagged with Day of Judgment and Afterlife because it discusses the consequences of one's actions and the importance of remaining steadfast in faith.
