Ikrima reported that Shaddad met Abu Umama and Wathila, accompanied Anas to Syria, and praised him for his merit and goodness.Abu Umama reported that Amr bin Abasa al-Sulami said, "During the days of ignorance, I used to think that people were upon misguidance and that they were not upon anything, since they worshipped idols. Then I heard of a man in Mecca who was reporting news. So I mounted my camel and came to him. There I found the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in hiding, with his people emboldened against him. I made my way gently until I entered upon him in Mecca. I said to him, 'What are you?'He replied, 'I am a prophet.'I asked, 'And what is a prophet?'He said, 'Allah has sent me.'I asked, 'With what has He sent you?'He said, 'He has sent me with the joining of family ties, the breaking of idols, and that Allah be declared one, with nothing associated with Him.'I said to him, 'Who is with you upon this?'He said, 'A free man and a slave.' At that time, those who believed in him were Abu Bakr and Bilal.I said, 'I will follow you.'He said, 'You cannot do that on this day of yours. Do you not see my condition and the condition of the people? Rather, return to your family, and when you hear that I have prevailed, then come to me.'"Amr continued, "So I went back to my family. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in Medina while I was with my family. I began seeking news and asking people about him after he came to Medina, until a group from the people of Yathrib, the people of Medina, came to me. I asked, 'What has this man who came to Medina done?'They said, 'The people are hastening to him. His own people sought to kill him but were unable.'So I came to Medina and entered upon him. I said, 'Messenger of Allah, do you know me?'He said, 'Yes, you are the one who met me in Mecca.'I said, 'Indeed.' Then I said, 'Prophet of Allah, tell me about what Allah has taught you and which I do not know. Tell me about prayer.'He said, 'Pray the morning prayer, then refrain from prayer until the sun rises and ascends, for it rises between the two horns of Satan, and at that time the disbelievers prostrate to it. Then pray, for prayer is witnessed and attended, until the shadow stands straight beneath the spear. Then refrain from prayer, for at that time Hell is stoked. When the shadow lengthens, then pray, for prayer is witnessed and attended, until you pray the afternoon prayer. Then refrain from prayer until the sun sets, for it sets between the two horns of Satan, and at that time the disbelievers prostrate to it.'I said, 'Prophet of Allah, tell me about ablution.'He said, 'There is no man among you who brings his water for ablution near, then rinses his mouth, sniffs water into his nose, and blows it out, except that the sins of his face, his mouth, and his nostrils fall away. Then when he washes his face as Allah has commanded him, the sins of his face fall from the ends of his beard along with the water. Then he washes his hands up to the elbows, and the sins of his hands fall from his fingertips along with the water. Then he wipes his head, and the sins of his head fall from the tips of his hair along with the water. Then he washes his feet up to the ankles, and the sins of his feet fall from his toes along with the water. Then if he stands and prays, praising Allah, glorifying Him, and exalting Him as He deserves, and empties his heart for Allah, he will leave his sins as on the day his mother bore him.'"Amr bin Abasa narrated this hadith to Abu Umama, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Abu Umama said to him, "Amr bin Abasa, look at what you are saying. So much is being given to this man in a single standing?"Amr replied, "Abu Umama, I have grown old in age, my bones have become frail, and my appointed time draws near. I have no need to lie about Allah or about His Messenger. Had I not heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ more than once, twice, or three times," and he counted up to seven times, "I would never have narrated it. But I heard it from him more than that."
حدثني أحمد بن جعفر المعقري حدثنا النضر بن محمد حدثنا عكرمة بن عمار حدثنا شداد بن عبد الله أبو عمار ويحيى بن أبي كثير
عكرمة ولقي شداد أبا أمامة وواثلة وصحب أنسا إلى الشام وأثنى عليه فضلا وخيرا عن أبي أمامة قال قال عمرو بن عبسة السلمي كنت وأنا في الجاهلية أظن أن الناس على ضلالة وأنهم ليسوا على شيء وهم يعبدون الأوثان فسمعت برجل بمكة يخبر أخبارا فقعدت على راحلتي فقدمت عليه فإذا رسول الله ﷺ مستخفيا جرءاء عليه قومه فتلطفت حتى دخلت عليه بمكة فقلت له ما أنت قال أنا نبي فقلت وما نبي قال أرسلني الله فقلت وبأي شيء أرسلك قال أرسلني بصلة الأرحام وكسر الأوثان وأن يوحد الله لا يشرك به شيء قلت له فمن معك على هذا قال حر وعبد قال ومعه يومئذ أبو بكر وبلال ممن آمن به فقلت إني متبعك قال إنك لا تستطيع ذلك يومك هذا ألا ترى حالي وحال الناس ولكن ارجع إلى أهلك فإذا سمعت بي قد ظهرت فأتني قال فذهبت إلى أهلي وقدم رسول الله ﷺ المدينة وكنت في أهلي فجعلت أتخبر الأخبار وأسأل الناس حين قدم المدينة حتى قدم علي نفر من أهل يثرب من أهل المدينة فقلت ما فعل هذا الرجل الذي قدم المدينة فقالوا الناس إليه سراع وقد أراد قومه قتله فلم يستطيعوا ذلك فقدمت المدينة فدخلت عليه فقلت يا رسول الله أتعرفني قال نعم أنت الذي لقيتني بمكة قال فقلت بلى فقلت يا نبي الله أخبرني عما علمك الله وأجهله أخبرني عن الصلاة قال صل صلاة الصبح ثم أقصر عن الصلاة حتى تطلع الشمس حتى ترتفع فإنها تطلع حين تطلع بين قرني شيطان وحينئذ يسجد لها الكفار ثم صل فإن الصلاة مشهودة محضورة حتى يستقل الظل بالرمح ثم أقصر عن الصلاة فإن حينئذ تسجر جهنم فإذا أقبل الفيء فصل فإن الصلاة مشهودة محضورة حتى تصلي العصر ثم أقصر عن الصلاة حتى تغرب الشمس فإنها تغرب بين قرني شيطان وحينئذ يسجد لها الكفار قال فقلت يا نبي الله فالوضوء حدثني عنه قال ما منكم رجل يقرب وضوءه فيتمضمض ويستنشق فينتثر إلا خرت خطايا وجهه وفيه وخياشيمه ثم إذا غسل وجهه كما أمره الله إلا خرت خطايا وجهه من أطراف لحيته مع الماء ثم يغسل يديه إلى المرفقين إلا خرت خطايا يديه من أنامله مع الماء ثم يمسح رأسه إلا خرت خطايا رأسه من أطراف شعره مع الماء ثم يغسل قدميه إلى الكعبين إلا خرت خطايا رجليه من أنامله مع الماء فإن هو قام فصلى فحمد الله وأثنى عليه ومجده بالذي هو له أهل وفرغ قلبه لله إلا انصرف من خطيئته كهيئته يوم ولدته أمه فحدث عمرو بن عبسة بهذا الحديث أبا أمامة صاحب رسول الله ﷺ فقال له أبو أمامة يا عمرو بن عبسة انظر ما تقول في مقام واحد يعطى هذا الرجل فقال عمرو يا أبا أمامة لقد كبرت سني ورق عظمي واقترب أجلي وما بي حاجة أن أكذب على الله ولا على رسول الله لو لم أسمعه من رسول الله ﷺ إلا مرة أو مرتين أو ثلاثا حتى عد سبع مرات ما حدثت به أبدا ولكني سمعته أكثر من ذلك
