Hadith 75

(The book) ‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – It is reported from Hammad Bin Habeeb al Qattan Al Kufy who said, ‘We went out one years as pilgrims. We departed from Zubalah and faced a stormy black wind, dark. I was cut off from the convoy and I was lost in that wilderness. I ended up to an uninhabited valley and the night shielded me. I sheltered to a tree. When the darkness prevailed, there I was with a youth having white clothes upon him. I said, ‘This is a friend from the friends of Allah-azwj’. When he sensed my movements, I feared disturbing him, so I hid myself. He went near to a place and prepared for the Salat, and water had burst forth for him. He leapt up standing’ – and he continued the Hadeeth approximate to what has passed, and in it is: ‘And when will he be happy, one who aims for other than You‑azwj due to his carelessness’’. [93]
