أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ شَيْبَانَ، - وَكَانَ ثِقَةً - عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ سُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ بَشِيرِ بْنِ نَهِيكٍ، أَنَّ بَشِيرَ ابْنَ الْخَصَاصِيَّةِ، قَالَ كُنْتُ أَمْشِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَمَرَّ عَلَى قُبُورِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَقَالَ " لَقَدْ سَبَقَ هَؤُلاَءِ شَرًّا كَثِيرًا " . ثُمَّ مَرَّ عَلَى قُبُورِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَقَالَ " لَقَدْ سَبَقَ هَؤُلاَءِ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا " . فَحَانَتْ مِنْهُ الْتِفَاتَةٌ فَرَأَى رَجُلاً يَمْشِي بَيْنَ الْقُبُورِ فِي نَعْلَيْهِ فَقَالَ " يَا صَاحِبَ السِّبْتِيَّتَيْنِ أَلْقِهِمَا " .
Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak informed us: Waki narrated to us, from al-Aswad ibn Shayban—who was trustworthy—from Khalid ibn Sumayr, from Bashir ibn Nahik, that Bashir ibn al-Khasasiyyah said: I was walking with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he passed by the graves of the Muslims and said, These people have gone ahead of much evil. Then he passed by the graves of the polytheists and said, These people have gone ahead of much good. He turned and saw a man walking among the graves in his sandals. He said, You wearing the two sibti sandals, take them off.
Translation notes
The source explicitly describes al-Aswad ibn Shayban as trustworthy. Sibti sandals are identified by their Arabic name.
