حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ أَنَّ النَّاسَ كَانُوا يَطُوفُونَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ جَالِسٌ مَعَهُ مِحْجَنٌ فَقَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ وَلَوْ أَنَّ قَطْرَةً مِنْ الزَّقُّومِ قُطِرَتْ لَأَمَرَّتْ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ عَيْشَهُمْ فَكَيْفَ مَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا الزَّقُّومُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2735
It was narrated from Mujahid that the people were circumambulating the Ka'bah and Ibn 'Abbas (RA) was sitting and had a crooked stick with him. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "O you who believe! Fear Allah (by doing all that He has ordered and by abstaining from all that He has forbidden) as He should be feared. (Obey Him, be thankful to Him, and remember Him always,) and die not except in a state of Islam [as Muslims (with complete submission to Allah)]" [Al 'Imran 3:102], [Then he said:] "If a drop of Zaqqoom were to be dropped on the earth, it would make the lives of the people of this world bitter, so how about those who have no food other than az-Zaqqoom ?"
