احْتِسَابِ الآثَارِ

Seeking reward for one's footsteps

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : يَا بَنِي سَلِمَةَ ، أَلَا تَحْتَسِبُونَ آثَارَكُمْ؟. أَنَّ بَنِي سَلِمَةَ، أَرَادُوا أَنْ يَتَحَوَّلُوا، عَنْ مَنَازِلِهِمْ، فَيَنْزِلُوا قَرِيبًا مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ فَكَرِهَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يُعْرُوا {الْمَدِينَةَ} فَقَالَ " أَلاَ تَحْتَسِبُونَ آثَارَكُمْ ".

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ :

Translation

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Prophet ﷺ said, “O Banu Salimah, will you not seek reward for your footsteps?” … The Banu Salimah wanted to move from their dwellings and settle near the Prophet ﷺ. He said: But the Messenger of Allah ﷺ disliked that they should leave (that side of) Madinah exposed, and he said, “Will you not seek reward for your footsteps?”

Translator’s note: Literally “your traces”, meaning the footsteps to the mosque (cf. Qur'an 36:12). The Banu Salimah lived on the edge of Madinah. The part after “…” is from the transmission of Ibn Abi Maryam via Humayd from Anas.

Anas ibn Malik berichtete: Der Prophet ﷺ sagte: „O Banu Salima, wollt ihr nicht für eure Schritte auf Lohn hoffen?“ … Die Banu Salima wollten aus ihren Wohnstätten wegziehen und sich in der Nähe des Propheten ﷺ niederlassen. Er sagte: Der Gesandte Allahs ﷺ aber mochte nicht, dass sie (diese Seite) Medinas entblößten, und sagte: „Wollt ihr nicht für eure Schritte auf Lohn hoffen?“

Translator’s note: Wörtlich „eure Spuren“, gemeint sind die Schritte zur Moschee (vgl. Koran 36:12). Die Banu Salima wohnten am Rand Medinas. Der Teil nach „…“ stammt aus der Überlieferung von Ibn Abi Maryam über Humaid von Anas.

Enes b. Mâlik (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Nebî ﷺ şöyle buyurdu: “Ey Benî Selime, adımlarınızın sevabını (Allah'tan) ummaz mısınız?” … Benî Selime evlerinden taşınıp Nebî'nin ﷺ yakınına yerleşmek istediler. Enes dedi ki: Resûlullah ﷺ Medine'nin (o tarafının) boş kalmasını hoş görmedi ve: “Adımlarınızın sevabını (Allah'tan) ummaz mısınız?” buyurdu.

Translator’s note: Kelimenin aslı “izleriniz”dir; mescide giden adımlar kastedilir (bk. Kur'ân 36:12). Benî Selime, Medine'nin kenarında oturuyordu. “…” işaretinden sonraki kısım, İbn Ebû Meryem'in Humeyd kanalıyla Enes'ten rivayetidir.
