Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal: Book 31, Hadith 15
The people used to pray (tarawih prayer) in the mosque during Ramadan severally. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) commanded me (to spread a mat). I spread a mat for him and he prayed upon it. The narrator then transmitted the same story. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: O People, praise be to Allah, I did not pass my night carelessly, nor did your position remain hidden from me.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي شَيْبَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ حَازِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ إِيَادِ بْنِ لَقِيطٍ، عَنْ أَبِي رِمْثَةَ، قَالَ قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ وَلَمْ أَكُنْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَخَرَجَ وَعَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَانِ أَخْضَرَانِ فَقُلْتُ لِابْنِي هَذَا وَاللَّهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَجَعَلَ ابْنِي يَرْتَعِدُ هَيْبَةً لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ طَبِيبٌ وَإِنَّ أَبِي كَانَ طَبِيبًا وَإِنَّا أَهْلُ بَيْتِ طِبٍّ وَاللَّهِ مَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْنَا مِنْ الْجَسَدِ عِرْقٌ وَلَا عَظْمٌ فَأَرِنِي هَذِهِ الَّتِي عَلَى كَتِفِكَ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ سِلْعَةً قَطَعْتُهَا ثُمَّ دَاوَيْتُهَا قَالَ لَا طَبِيبُهَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ هَذَا الَّذِي مَعَكَ قُلْتُ ابْنِي وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ فَقَالَ ابْنُكَ قَالَ ابْنِي أَشْهَدُ بِهِ قَالَ ابْنُكَ هَذَا لَا يَجْنِي عَلَيْكَ وَلَا تَجْنِي عَلَيْهِ.
Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal: Book 31, Hadith 15
The above hadith is from the Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal collection of hadiths. Compiled by the renowned Islamic scholar Ahmad ibn Hanbal, the Musnad is a monumental hadith collection distinguished by its unique organizational structure. Unlike other major collections arranged by topic, the Musnad is organized according to the names of the Prophet Muhammad’s companions. This means each section is dedicated to a specific companion, grouping all the narrations they transmitted together. This method offers valuable insights into the Prophet’s teachings as passed down through his closest followers. While the collection is highly respected for its overall authenticity and vast scope, scholars note that it includes narrations of varying strength, and some feature weaker chains of transmission that require expert analysis.
