حدثنا يعقوب بن ابراهيم حدثنا ابو عاصم اخبرنا ابن جريج قال اخبرني موسي بن عقبه عن نافع عن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما عن النبي صلي الله عليه وسلم قال خرج ثلاثه يمشون فاصابهم المطر فدخلوا في غار في جبل فانحطت عليهم صخره قال فقال بعضهم لبعض ادعوا الله بافضل عمل عملتموه فقال احدهم اللهم اني كان لي ابوان شيخان كبيران فكنت اخرج فارعي ثم اجيء فاحلب فاجيء بالحلاب فاتي به ابوي فيشربان ثم اسقي الصبيه واهلي وامراتي فاحتبست ليله فجئت فاذا هما نائمان قال فكرهت ان اوقظهما والصبيه يتضاغون عند رجلي فلم يزل ذلك دابي ودابهما حتي طلع الفجر اللهم ان كنت تعلم اني فعلت ذلك ابتغاء وجهك فافرج عنا فرجه نري منها السماء قال ففرج عنهم وقال الاخر اللهم ان كنت تعلم اني كنت احب امراه من بنات عمي كاشد ما يحب الرجل النساء فقالت لا تنال ذلك منها حتي تعطيها مائه دينار فسعيت فيها حتي جمعتها فلما قعدت بين رجليها قالت اتق الله ولا تفض الخاتم الا بحقه فقمت وتركتها فان كنت تعلم اني فعلت ذلك ابتغاء وجهك فافرج عنا فرجه قال ففرج عنهم الثلثين وقال الاخر اللهم ان كنت تعلم اني استاجرت اجيرا بفرق من ذره فاعطيته وابي ذاك ان ياخذ فعمدت الي ذلك الفرق فزرعته حتي اشتريت منه بقرا وراعيها ثم جاء فقال يا عبد الله اعطني حقي فقلت انطلق الي تلك البقر وراعيها فانها لك فقال اتستهزئ بي قال فقلت ما استهزئ بك ولكنها لك اللهم ان كنت تعلم اني فعلت ذلك ابتغاء وجهك فافرج عنا فكشف عنهم
Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "While three persons were walking, rain began to fall and they had to enter a cave in a mountain. A (big) rock rolled over (and blocked the mouth of the cave). They said to one another: 'Invoke Allah with the best deed you have performed.' One of them said: 'O Allah, my parents were old, and I used to go out for grazing (my camels), and on my return, I would milk (the camels) and take the milk to my parents to drink. After that, I would give it to my children, family, and wife. One day, I got delayed, and as I returned home, I found my parents asleep, and I disliked to awaken them. The children were crying near my feet (out of hunger), and they continued like that till dawn. O Allah, if You know that I did this for Your sake, remove this rock a bit so that we may see the sky.' So the rock was moved a bit. The second man said: 'O Allah, You know that I loved a cousin of mine with the deepest love that a man might have for a woman, and she told me that I would not get my desire fulfilled unless I paid her one hundred dinars. I struggled until I could gather the required amount, and when I sat in between her legs, she said: 'Fear Allah, and do not deflower me except lawfully.' Thereupon, I got up and left her. O Allah, If You know that I did this for Your sake, remove this rock a bit.' So two thirds of the rock was moved. Then the third man said: 'O Allah, You know that I once hired a worker for one Faraq (a measure equal to 16 pounds) of maize, and when I wanted to pay him, he refused to take his wages; so I cultivated it and bought cows and a shepherd from its yield; and after a period of time, that man came and said: 'O slave of Allah, give me my right.' I said to him: ‘Go to those cows and the shepherd and take them, for they yours.’ He said: ‘Are you mocking me?’ I said to him: ‘I am not mocking you; but they belong to you.’ O Allah, If You know that I did this for Your sake, remove the rock.' So the rock was removed."
