حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هِلَالٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ

أَنَّ رَجُلاً تُوُفِّيَ وَتَرَكَ ابْنًا لَهُ وَمَوْلًى لَهُ، فَأَوْصَى مَوْلَاهُ بِابْنِهِ، فَلَمْ يَأْلُوهُ حَتَّى أَدْرَكَ وَزَوَّجَهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: جَهَّزْنِي أَطْلُبِ الْعِلْمَ، فَجَهَّزَهُ، فَأَتَى عَالِمًا فَسَأَلَهُ، فَقَالَ: إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَنْطَلِقَ فَقُلْ لِي أُعَلِّمْكَ، فَقَالَ: حَضَرَ مِنِّي الْخُرُوجُ فَعَلِّمْنِي، فَقَالَ: اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَاصْبِرْ، وَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلْ.

قَالَ الْحَسَنُ: فِي هَذَا الْخَيْرُ كُلُّهُ، فَجَاءَ وَلَا يَكَادُ يَنْسَاهُنَّ، إِنَّمَا هُنَّ ثَلَاثٌ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ أَهْلَهُ نَزَلَ عَنْ رَاحِلَتِهِ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ الدَّارَ إِذَا هُوَ بِرَجُلٍ نَائِمٍ مُتَرَاخٍ عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ، وَإِذَا امْرَأَتُهُ نَائِمَةٌ، قَالَ: وَاللَّهِ مَا أُرِيدُ مَا أَنْتَظِرُ بِهَذَا؟

فَرَجَعَ إِلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ، فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ السَّيْفَ قَالَ: اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَاصْبِرْ، وَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلْ. فَرَجَعَ، فَلَمَّا قَامَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ قَالَ: مَا أَنْتَظِرُ بِهَذَا شَيْئًا، فَرَجَعَ إِلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ، فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ سَيْفَهُ ذَكَرَهُ، فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا قَامَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ اسْتَيْقَظَ الرَّجُلُ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ وَثَبَ إِلَيْهِ فَعَانَقَهُ وَقَبَّلَهُ، وَسَاءَلَهُ قَالَ: مَا أَصَبْتَ بَعْدِي؟

قَالَ: أَصَبْتُ وَاللَّهِ بَعْدَكَ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا، أَصَبْتُ وَاللَّهِ بَعْدَكَ: أَنِّي مَشَيْتُ اللَّيْلَةَ بَيْنَ السَّيْفِ وَبَيْنَ رَأْسِكَ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ، فَحَجَزَنِي مَا أَصَبْتُ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ عَنْ قَتْلِكَ

A man died and left a son and a mawla. He appointed the mawla as his son’s guardian. This was not remiss and continued to look after the lad until he came of age an then he found him a wife. Then the boy said to him, “Equip me so that I can seek for knowledge.” He fitted him out.

The boy then went to a man of knowledge and asked him to teach him. The man said, “Tell me when you want to leave and I will teach you.” The boy said, “I feel should leave, so instruct me.”

The scholar said, “Have taqwa of Allah. Have patience. Do not be hasty.” Al-Hasan remarked that this contains all good.
