Shahih Bukhari - 3963

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sulaiman bin Harb] Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hammad bin Zaid] dari [Ayyub] dari [Abu Qilabah] dari [Amru bin Salamah] katanya, Abu Qilabah mengatakan kepadaku; "Tidakkah engkau temui Abu Qilabah dan kamu tanyai? maka aku tanyai Abu Qilabah dan ia berujar: "Kami Pernah di sebuah mata air tempat berlalu lalang manusia, para pengendara sering melewati kami, maka kami menanyai mereka; "Apa yang terjadi pada orang-orang, dan bagaimana kabar sebenarnya tentang si laki-laki itu (maksudnya Muhammad)? Mereka jawab; Ia (Muhammad) telah mengaku bahwa Allah telah mengutusnya dan memberi wahyu kepadanya, Allah memberinya wahyu dengan demikian. Dan aku lebih hafal terhadap pembicaraan itu. Seolah-olah pembicaran itu mengesankan dalam hatiku dan orang arab mencela habis-habisan kemenangan karena keIslaman mereka. Lantas mereka katakana; "Biarkan saja dia (Muhammad) dan kaumnya, kalaulah dia menang terhadap kaumnya, berarti ia betul-betul Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam yang jujur, ketika pelaku-pelaku kemenangan (kaum muslimin) singgah sebentar lantas berangkat, setiap kaum bergegas berangkat dengan keIslaman mereka, dan ayahku bergegas menemui kaumku dengan keIslaman mereka, ketika ayahku datang, ujarnya: "Demi Allah, sungguh aku baru saja menemui Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam dan beliau sabdakan: "Shalatlah kalian sedemikian, di waktu sedemikian. Jika waktu shalat tiba, hendaklah salah seorang diantara kalian mengumandangkan adzan, dan yang mengimami kalian yang banyak hapalan alqurannya. Lantas mereka saling mencermati, dan tak ada yang lebih banyak hapalan al Qurannya selain diriku disebabkan aku bertemu dengan pengendara, maka kemudian mereka menyuruhku maju (memimpin shalat di depan mereka), padahal umurku ketika itu baru enam atau tujuh tahun, ketika itu aku memakai kain apabila aku bersujud, kain itu tersingkap dariku. Maka salah seorang wanita kampung mengajukan saran; "Tidak sebaiknya kalian tutup dubur ahli-ahli qira'ah kalian?" Maka mereka langsung membeli dan memotong gamis untukku, sehingga tak ada yang menandingi kegembiraanku daripada kegembiraanku terhadap gamis itu. (HR. Bukhari: 3963)

Narrated ʿAmr bin Salama: We were at a place which was a thoroughfare for the people, and the caravans used to pass by us and we would ask them, "What is wrong with the people? What is wrong with the people? Who is that man?. They would say, "That man claims that Allah has sent him (as an Messenger (ﷺ)), that he has been divinely inspired, that Allah has revealed to him such-and-such." I used to memorize that (Divine) Talk, and feel as if it was inculcated in my chest (i.e. mind) And the 'Arabs (other than Quraish) delayed their conversion to Islam till the Conquest (of Mecca). They used to say." "Leave him (i.e. Muhammad) and his people Quraish: if he overpowers them then he is a true Prophet. So, when Mecca was conquered, then every tribe rushed to embrace Islam, and my father hurried to embrace Islam before (the other members of) my tribe. When my father returned (from the Prophet (ﷺ)) to his tribe, he said, "By Allah, I have come to you from the Prophet (ﷺ) for sure!" The Prophet (ﷺ) afterwards said to them, 'Offer such-and-such prayer at such-and-such time, and when the time for the prayer becomes due, then one of you should pronounce the Adhan (for the prayer), and let the one amongst you who knows Qurʾan most should, lead the prayer." So they looked for such a person and found none who knew more Qurʾan than I because of the Qurʾanic material which I used to learn from the caravans. They therefore made me their Imam ((to lead the prayer) and at that time I was a boy of six or seven years, wearing a Burda (i.e. a black square garment) proved to be very short for me (and my body became partly naked). A lady from the tribe said, "Won't you cover the anus of your reciter for us?" So they bought (a piece of cloth) and made a shirt for me. I had never been so happy with anything before as I was with that shirt. (Bukhari: 3963)
