2428 - لَمَّا شَيَّعَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ رَحْمَةُ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ شَيَّعَهُ اَلْحَسَنُ وَ اَلْحُسَيْنُ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ عَقِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ قَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ «وَدِّعُوا أَخَاكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ بُدَّ لِلشَّاخِصِ أَنْ يَمْضِيَ وَ لِلْمُشَيِّعِ مِنْ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فَتَكَلَّمَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى حِيَالِهِ» فَقَالَ اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ «رَحِمَكَ اَللَّهُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ إِنَّ اَلْقَوْمَ إِنَّمَا اِمْتَهَنُوكَ بِالْبَلاَءِ لِأَنَّكَ مَنَعْتَهُمْ دِينَكَ فَمَنَعُوكَ دُنْيَاهُمْ فَمَا أَحْوَجَكَ غَداً إِلَى مَا مَنَعْتَهُمْ وَ أَغْنَاكَ عَمَّا مَنَعُوكَ» فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ رَحِمَكُمُ اَللَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ فَمَا لِي شَجَنٌ فِي اَلدُّنْيَا غَيْرُكُمْ إِنِّي إِذَا ذَكَرْتُكُمْ ذَكَرْتُ بِكُمْ جَدَّكُمْ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ.
Hadith.2428 - When Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib bid farewell to Abu Dharr (may Allah (swt) have mercy on him), he was accompanied by Imam Al-Hasan
and Imam Al-Husayn
, Aqil ibn Abi Talib, Abdullah ibn Ja‘far, and Ammar ibn Yasir.
Amir al-Mu'minin
said: "Bid farewell to your brother, for the one departing must go, and the one accompanying must return." Then, each of them spoke individually.
Al-Husayn ibn Ali
said: "May Allah (swt) have mercy on you, O Abu Dharr. The people have only tested you with trials because you refused to compromise your religion for them, so they withheld from you their worldly gains. Tomorrow, how much in need will they be of what you withheld from them, and how needless will you be of what they withheld from you."
Abu Dharr (may Allah (swt) have mercy on him) replied: "May Allah (swt) have mercy on you, O members of this household. I have no attachment to this world except through you. Whenever I remember you, I remember your grandfather, the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings of Allah (swt) be upon him and his family)."
