حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ عِيسَی الْجَرَّارُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَی بْنِ أَبِي الْمُسَاوِرِ عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ قَالَ لَمَّا قَدِمَ عَدِيُّ ابْنُ حَاتِمٍ الْکُوفَةَ أَتَيْنَاهُ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ فُقَهَائِ أَهْلِ الْکُوفَةِ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ حَدِّثْنَا مَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا عَدِيَّ ابْنَ حَاتِمٍ أَسْلِمْ تَسْلَمْ قُلْتُ وَمَا الْإِسْلَامُ فَقَالَ تَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَتُؤْمِنُ بِالْأَقْدَارِ کُلِّهَا لِخَيْرِهَا وَشَرِّهَا حُلْوِهَا وَمُرِّهَا
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 87
Sha’bi said: “When ‘Adi bin Hátim came to Kufah, we came to him with a delegation of the Fuqahs’ of Kufah and said to him: ‘Tell us of something that you heard from the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H.’ He said: ‘I came to the Prophet P.B.U.H and he said: “0 ‘Adi bin Hâtim, enter Islam and you will be safe.” I said, “What is islam?” He said: “To testify to La ilahaa illallah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah) and that I am the Messenger of Allah, and to believe in all the Divine Decrees, the good of them and the bad of them, the sweet of them and the bitter of them.” (Da’if)
