Shahih Muslim - 5327

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Haddab bin Khalid] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hammad bin Salamah] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Tsabit] dari [Abdurrahman bin Abu Laila] dari [Shuhaib] Rasulullah Shallallahu 'alaihi wa Salam bersabda: "Dulu, sebelum kalian ada seorang raja, ia memiliki tukang sihir, saat tukang sihir sudah tua, ia berkata kepada rajanya: 'Aku sudah tua, kirimlah seorang pemuda kepadaku untuk aku ajari sihir.' Lalu seorang pemuda datang padanya, ia mengajarkan sihir kepada pemuda itu. (Jarak) antara tukang sihir dan si raja terdapat seorang rahib. Si pemuda itu mendatangi rahib dan mendengar kata-katanya, ia kagum akan kata-kata si rahib itu sehingga bila datang ke si penyihir pasti dipukul, Pemuda itu mengeluhkan hal itu kepada si rahib, ia berkata: 'Bila tukang sihir hendak memukulmu, katakan: 'Keluargaku menahanku, ' dan bila kau takut pada keluargamu, katakan: 'Si tukang sihir menahanku.' Saat seperti itu, pada suatu hari ia mendekati sebuah hewan yang besar yang menghalangi jalanan orang, ia berkata, 'Hari ini aku akan tahu, apakah tukang sihir lebih baik ataukah pendeta lebih baik.' Ia mengambil batu lalu berkata: 'Ya Allah, bila urusan si rahib lebih Engkau sukai dari pada tukang sihir itu maka bunuhlah binatang ini hingga orang bisa lewat.' Ia melemparkan batu itu dan membunuhnya, orang-orang pun bisa lewat. Ia memberitahukan hal itu kepada si rahib. Si rahib berkata: 'Anakku, saat ini engkau lebih baik dariku dan urusanmu telah sampai seperti yang aku lihat, engkau akan mendapat ujian, bila kau mendapat ujian jangan menunjukkan padaku.' Si pemuda itu bisa menyembuhkan orang buta dan berbagai penyakit. Salah seorang teman raja yang buta lalu ia mendengarnya, ia mendatangi pemuda itu dengan membawa hadiah yang banyak, ia berkata: 'Sembuhkan aku dan kau akan mendapatkan yang aku kumpulkan disini.' Pemuda itu berkata: 'Aku tidak menyembuhkan seorang pun, yang menyembuhkan hanyalah Allah, bila kau beriman padaNya, aku akan berdoa kepadaNya agar menyembuhkanmu.' Teman si raja itu pun beriman lalu si pemuda itu berdoa kepada Allah lalu ia pun sembuh. Teman raja itu kemudian mendatangi raja lalu duduk didekatnya. Si raja berkata: 'Hai fulan, siapa yang menyembuhkan matamu? ' Orang itu menjawab: 'Rabbku.' Si raja berkata: 'Kau punya Rabb selainku? ' Orang itu berkata: 'Rabbku dan Rabbmu adalah Allah.' Si raja menangkapnya lalu menyiksanya hingga ia menunjukkan pada pemuda itu lalu pemuda itu didatangkan, Raja berkata: 'Hai anakku, sihirmu yang bisa menyembuhkan orang buta, sopak dan kau melakukan ini dan itu.' Pemuda itu berkata: 'Bukan aku yang menyembuhkan, yang menyembuhkan hanya Allah.' Si raja menangkapnya dan terus menyiksanya ia menunjukkan kepada si rahib. Si raja mendatangi si rahib, rahib pun didatangkan lalu dikatakan padanya: 'Tinggalkan agamamu.' Si rahib tidak mau lalu si raja meminta gergaji kemudian diletakkan tepat ditengah kepalanya hingga sebelahnya terkapar di tanah. Setelah itu teman si raja didatangkan dan dikatakan padanya: 'Tinggalkan agamamu.' Si rahib tidak mau lalu si raja meminta gergaji kemudian diletakkan tepat ditengah kepalanya hingga sebelahnya terkapar di tanah. Setelah itu pemuda didatangkan lalu dikatakan padanya: 'Tinggalkan agamamu.' Pemuda itu tidak mau. Lalu si raja menyerahkannya ke sekelompok tentaranya, raja berkata: 'Bawalah dia ke gunung ini dan ini, bawalah ia naik, bila ia mau meninggalkan agamanya (biarkanlah dia) dan bila tidak mau, lemparkan dari atas gunung.' Mereka membawanya ke puncak gunung lalu pemuda itu berdoa: 'Ya Allah, cukupilah aku dari mereka sekehendakMu.' Ternyata gunung mengguncang mereka dan mereka semua jatuh. Pemuda itu kembali pulang hingga tiba dihadapan raja. Raja bertanya: 'Bagaimana kondisi kawan-kawanmu? ' Pemuda itu menjawab: 'Allah mencukupiku dari mereka.' Lalu si raja menyerahkannya ke sekelompok tentaranya, raja berkata: 'Bawalah dia ke sebuah perahu lalu kirim ke tengah laut, bila ia mau meninggalkan agamanya (bawalah dia pulang) dan bila ia tidak mau meninggalkannya, lemparkan dia.' Mereka membawanya ke tengah laut lalu pemuda itu berdoa: 'Ya Allah, cukupilah aku dari mereka sekehendakMu.' Ternyata perahunya terbalik dan mereka semua tenggelam. Pemuda itu pulang hingga tiba dihadapan raja, raja bertanya: Bagaimana keadaan teman-temanmu? ' Pemuda itu menjawab: 'Allah mencukupiku dari mereka.' Setelah itu ia berkata kepada raja: 'Kau tidak akan bisa membunuhku hingga kau mau melakukan yang aku perintahkan, ' Raja bertanya: 'Apa yang kau perintahkan? ' Pemuda itu berkata: 'Kumpulkan semua orang ditanah luas lalu saliblah aku diatas pelepah, ambillah anak panah dari sarung panahku lalu ucapkan: 'Dengan nama Allah, Rabb pemuda ini.' Bila kau melakukannya kau akan membunuhku.' Akhirnya raja itu melakukannya. Ia meletakkan anak panah ditengah-tengah panah lalu melesakkannya seraya berkata: 'Dengan nama Allah, Rabb pemuda ini.' Anak panah di lesakkan ke pelipis pemuda itu lalu pemuda meletakkan tangannya ditempat panah menancap kemudian mati. Orang-orang berkata: 'Kami beriman dengan Rabb pemuda itu.' Kemudian didatangkank kepada raja dan dikatakan padanya: 'Tahukah kamu akan sesuatu yang kau khawatirkan, demi Allah kini telah menimpamu. Orang-orang beriman seluruhnya.' Si raja kemudian memerintahkan membuat parit di jalanan kemudian disulut api. Raja berkata: 'Siapa pun yang tidak meninggalkan agamanya, pangganglah didalamnya.' Mereka melakukannya hingga datanglah seorang wanita bersama anaknya, sepertinya ia hendak mundur agar tidak terjatuh dalam kubangan api lalu si bayi itu berkata: 'Ibuku, bersabarlah, sesungguhnya engkau berada diatas kebenaran." (HR. Muslim: 5327)

Suhaib reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) thus said: There lived a king before you and he had a (court) magician. As he (the magician) grew old, he said to the king: I have grown old, send some young boy to me so that I should teach him magic. He (the king) sent to him a young man so that he should train him (in magic). And on his way (to the magician) he (the young man) found a monk sitting there. He (the young man) listened to his (the monk's) talk and was impressed by it. It became his habit that on his way to the magician he met the monk and set there and he came to the magician (late). He (the magician) beat him because of delay. He made a complaint of that to the monk and he said to him: When you feel afraid of the magician, say: Members of my family had detained me. And when you feel afraid of your family you should say: The magician had detained me. It so happened that there came a huge beast (of prey) and it blocked the way of the people, and he (the young boy) said: I will come to know today whether the magician is superior or the monk is superior. He picked up a stone and said: O Allah, if the affair of the monk is dearer to Thee than the affair of the magician, cause death to this animal so that the people should be able to move about freely. He threw that stone towards it and killed it and the people began to move about (on the path freely). He (the young man) then came to that monk and Informed him and the monk said: Sonny, today you are superior to me. Your affair has come to a stage where I find that you would be soon put to a trial, and in case you are put to a trial don't give my clue. That young man began to treat the blind and those suffering from leprosy and he in fact began to cure people from (all kinds) of illness. When a companion of the king who had gone blind heard about him, he came to him with numerous gifts and said: If you cure me all these things collected together here would be yours. Be said: I myself do not cure anyone. It is Allah Who cures and if you affirm faith in Allah, I shall also supplicate Allah to cure you. He affirmed his faith in Allah and Allah cured him and he came to the king and sat by his side as he used to sit before. The king said to him: Who restored your eyesight? He said: My Lord. Thereupon he said: It means that your Lord is One besides me. He said: My Lord and your Lord is Allah, so he (the king) took hold of him and tormented him till he gave a clue of that boy. The young man was thus summoned and the king said to him: O boy, it has been conveyed to me that you have become so much proficient in your magic that you cure the blind and those suffering from leprosy and you do such and such things. Thereupon he said: I do not cure anyone; it is Allah Who cures, and he (the king) took hold of him and began to torment him. So he gave a clue of the monk. The monk was thus summoned and it was said to him: You should turn back from your religion. He, however, refused to do so. He (ordered) for a saw to be brought (and when it was done) he (the king) placed it in the middle of his head and tore it into parts till a part fell down. Then the courtier of the king was brought and it was said to him: Turn back from your religion. Arid he refused to do so, and the saw was placed in the midst of his head and it was torn till a part fell down. Then that young boy was brought and it was said to him: Turn back from your religion. He refused to do so and he was handed over to a group of his courtiers. And he 'said to them: Take him to such and such mountain; make him climb up that mountain and when you reach its top (ask him to renounce his faith) but if he refuses to do so, then throw him (down the mountain). So they took him and made him climb up the mountain and he said: O Allah, save me from them (in any way) Thou likest and the mountain began to quake and they all fell down and that person came walking to the king. The king said to him: What has happened to your companions? He said: Allah has saved me from them. He again handed him to some of his courtiers and said: Take him and carry him in a small boat and when you reach the middle of the ocean (ask him to renounce) his religion, but if he does not renounce his religion throw him (into the water). So they took him and he said: O Allah, save me from them and what they want to do. It was quite soon that the boat turned over and they were drowned and he came walking to the king, and the king said to him: What has happened to your companions? He said: Allah has saved me from them, and he said to the king: You cannot kill me until you do what I ask you to do. And he said: What is that? He said: You should gather people in a plain and hang me by the trunk (of a tree). Then take hold of an arrow from the quiver and say: In the name of Allah, the Lord of the worlds; then shoot an arrow and if you do that then you would be able to kill me. So he (the king) called the people in an open plain and tied him (the boy) to the trunk of a tree, then he took hold of an arrow from his quiver and then placed the arrow in the bow and then said: In the name of Allah, the Lord of the young boy; he then shot an arrow and it bit his temple. He (the boy) placed his hands upon the temple where the arrow had bit him and he died and the people said: We affirm our faith in the Lord of this young man, we affirm our faith in the Lord of this young man, we affirm our faith in the Lord of this young man. The courtiers came to the king and it was said to him: Do you see that Allah has actually done what you aimed at averting. They (the people) have affirmed their faith in the Lord. He (the king) commanded ditches to be dug at important points in the path. When these ditches were dug, and the fire was lit in them it was said (to the people): He who would not turn back from his (boy's) religion would be thrown in the fire or it would be said to them to jump in that. (The people courted death but did not renounce religion) till a woman came with her child and she felt hesitant in jumping into the fire and the child said to her: 0 mother, endure (this ordeal) for it is the Truth. (Muslim: 5327)
