حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الأَسْوَدُ بْنُ شَيْبَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ سُمَيْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي بَشِيرُ بْنُ نَهِيكٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بَشِيرٌ
قَالَ: أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: مَا اسْمُكَ؟ قَالَ: زَحْمٌ، قَالَ: بَلْ أَنْتَ بَشِيرٌ، فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا أُمَاشِي النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا ابْنَ الْخَصَاصِيَةِ، مَا أَصْبَحْتَ تَنْقِمُ عَلَى اللهِ؟ أَصْبَحْتَ تُمَاشِي رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قُلْتُ: بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي، مَا أَنْقِمُ عَلَى اللهِ شَيْئًا، كُلَّ خَيْرٍ قَدْ أَصَبْتُ.
فَأَتَى عَلَى قُبُورِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَقَالَ: لَقَدْ سَبَقَ هَؤُلَاءِ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا، ثُمَّ أَتَى عَلَى قُبُورِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَقَالَ: لَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ هَؤُلَاءِ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ سِبْتِيَّتَانِ يَمْشِي بَيْنَ الْقُبُورِ، فَقَالَ: يَا صَاحِبَ السِّبْتِيَّتَيْنِ، أَلْقِ سِبْتِيَّتَكَ، فَخَلَعَ نَعْلَيْهِ
“The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came and said, ‘What is your name?’ ‘Zahm,’ I said. He said, ‘You are Bashir (bringer of good news).’ While I was walking and keeping pace with the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), may Allah bless him and grant him peace, he said, ‘Ibn al-Khasasiyya!
Are you resentful towards Allah? Do you keep pace with The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)?’ I said, ‘May my mother and father be your ransom, I do not hold any resentment against Allah. I have every blessing.’
The Prophet came to the graves of the idolaters and said, ‘These people have missed a lot of good. Then he came to the graves of the Muslims and said, ‘These people have obtained much good.’ There was a man wearing ox-hide sandals walking between the graves.
The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, ‘You with the ox-hide sandals! Remove your sandals!’ So he removed his sandals.’”
