Sahih Muslim 194b
وَحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ وُضِعَتْ بَيْنَ يَدَىْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَصْعَةٌ مِنْ ثَرِيدٍ وَلَحْمٍ فَتَنَاوَلَ الذِّرَاعَ وَكَانَتْ أَحَبَّ الشَّاةِ إِلَيْهِ فَنَهَسَ نَهْسَةً فَقَالَ " أَنَا سَيِّدُ النَّاسِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " . ثُمَّ نَهَسَ أُخْرَى فَقَالَ " أَنَا سَيِّدُ النَّاسِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " . فَلَمَّا رَأَى أَصْحَابَهُ لاَ يَسْأَلُونَهُ قَالَ " أَلاَ تَقُولُونَ كَيْفَهْ " . قَالُوا كَيْفَهْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ " يَقُومُ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ " . وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِمَعْنَى حَدِيثِ أَبِي حَيَّانَ عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ وَزَادَ فِي قِصَّةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَقَالَ وَذَكَرَ قَوْلَهُ فِي الْكَوْكَبِ هَذَا رَبِّي . وَقَوْلَهُ لآلِهَتِهِمْ بَلْ فَعَلَهُ كَبِيرُهُمْ هَذَا . وَقَوْلَهُ إِنِّي سَقِيمٌ . قَالَ " وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ إِنَّ مَا بَيْنَ الْمِصْرَاعَيْنِ مِنْ مَصَارِيعِ الْجَنَّةِ إِلَى عِضَادَتَىِ الْبَابِ لَكَمَا بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَهَجَرٍ أَوْ هَجَرٍ وَمَكَّةَ " . قَالَ لاَ أَدْرِي أَىَّ ذَلِكَ قَالَ .
Zuhayr ibn Harb narrated to me: Jarir narrated to us, from ‘Umara ibn al-Qa‘qa‘, from Abu Zur‘a, from Abu Hurayra, who said: A platter of tharid—bread soaked with broth—and meat was placed before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He took the foreleg, the part of the sheep he liked most, and took a bite from it. He said, “I am the leader of humankind on the Day of Resurrection.” He took another bite and said, “I am the leader of humankind on the Day of Resurrection.” When he saw that his companions were not asking him about it, he said, “Why do you not ask, ‘How will that be?’” They said, “How will it be, Messenger of Allah?” He said, “People will stand before the Lord of the worlds.” He related the hadith in the sense of the hadith of Abu Hayyan, from Abu Zur‘a, and added to the account of Abraham that he said of the star, “This is my Lord”; said to his idols, “Rather, this great one of theirs did it”; and said, “I am ill.” He said: By the One in whose hand is Muhammad’s soul, the distance between the two leaves of a gate of Paradise and its doorposts is like the distance between Mecca and Hajar—or Hajar and Mecca. I do not know which order he said.
