It is reported on the authority of Abu Huraira We were sitting around the Messenger of Allah may peace and blessings be upon him Abu Bakr and Umar were also there among the audience In the meanwhile the Messenger of Allah got up and left us He delayed in coming back to us which caused anxiety that he might be attacked by some enemy when we were not with him so being alarmed we got up I was the first to be alarmed I therefore went out to look for the Messenger of Allah may peace and blessings be upon him and came to a garden belonging to the Banu anNajjar a section of the Ansar went round it looking for a gate but failed to find one Seeing a rabi i e streamlet flowing into the garden from a well outside drew myself together like a fox and slinked into the place where Gods Messenger was He the Holy Prophet said Is it Abu Huraira I Abu Huraira replied Yes Messenger of Allah He the Holy Prophet said What is the matter with you replied You were amongst us but got up and went away and delayed for a time so fearing that you might be attacked by some enemy when we were not with you we became alarmed I was the first to be alarmed So when I came to this garden I drew myself together as a fox does and these people are following me He addressed me as Abu Huraira and gave me his sandals and said Take away these sandals of mine and when you meet anyone outside this garden who testifies that there is no god but Allah being assured of it in his heart gladden him by announcing that he shall go to Paradise Now the first one I met was Umar He asked What are these sandals Abu Huraira I replied These are the sandals of the Messenger of Allah with which he has sent me to gladden anyone I meet who testifies that there is no god but Allah being assured of it in his heart with the announcement that he would go to Paradise Thereupon Umar struck me on the breast and I fell on my back He then said Go back Abu Huraira So I returned to the Messenger of Allah may peace be upon him and was about to break into tears Umar followed me closely and there he was behind me The Messenger of Allah may peace and blessings be on him said What is the matter with you Abu Huraira I said I happened to meet Umar and conveyed to him the message with which you sent me He struck me on my breast which made me fall down upon my back and ordered me to go back Upon this the Messenger of Allah may peace be upon him said What prompted you to do this Umar He said Messenger of Allah my mother and father be sacrificed to thee did you send Abu Huraira with your sandals to gladden anyone he met and who testified that there is no god but Allah and being assured of it in his heart with the tidings that he would go to Paradise He said Yes Umar said Please do it not for I am afraid that people will trust in it alone let them go on doing good deeds The Messenger of Allah may peace be upon him said Well let them

حدثني زهير بن حرب حدثنا عمر بن يونس الحنفي حدثنا عكرمة بن عمار قال حدثني أبو كثير قال حدثني أبو هريرة قال كنا قعودا حول رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم معنا أبو بكر وعمر في نفر فقام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من بين أظهرنا فأبطأ علينا وخشينا أن يقتطع دوننا وفزعنا فقمنا فكنت أول من فزع فخرجت أبتغي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حتى أتيت حائطا للأنصار لبني النجار فدرت به هل أجد له بابا فلم أجد فإذا ربيع يدخل في جوف حائط من بئر خارجة والربيع الجدول فاحتفزت كما يحتفز الثعلب فدخلت على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال أبو هريرة فقلت نعم يا رسول الله قال ما شأنك قلت كنت بين أظهرنا فقمت فأبطأت علينا فخشينا أن تقتطع دوننا ففزعنا فكنت أول من فزع فأتيت هذا الحائط فاحتفزت كما يحتفز الثعلب وهؤلاء الناس ورائي فقال يا أبا هريرة وأعطاني نعليه قال اذهب بنعلى هاتين فمن لقيت من وراء هذا الحائط يشهد أن لا إله إلا الله مستيقنا بها قلبه فبشره بالجنة فكان أول من لقيت عمر فقال ما هاتان النعلان يا أبا هريرة فقلت هاتان نعلا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بعثني بهما من لقيت يشهد أن لا إله إلا الله مستيقنا بها قلبه بشرته بالجنة فضرب عمر بيده بين ثديى فخررت لاستي فقال ارجع يا أبا هريرة فرجعت إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فأجهشت بكاء وركبني عمر فإذا هو على أثري فقال لي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ما لك يا أبا هريرة قلت لقيت عمر فأخبرته بالذي بعثتني به فضرب بين ثديى ضربة خررت لاستي قال ارجع فقال له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يا عمر ما حملك على ما فعلت قال يا رسول الله بأبي أنت وأمي أبعثت أبا هريرة بنعليك من لقي يشهد أن لا إله إلا الله مستيقنا بها قلبه بشره بالجنة قال نعم قال فلا تفعل فإني أخشى أن يتكل الناس عليها فخلهم يعملون قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فخلهم
