6 Tunawar Wahshi
6 Wahshi’s Memory
Ja‘far ibn ‘Amr al-Dumarī ya ce:
Ja‘far ibn ‘Amr al-Dumarī says:
Ni da ‘Ubaid Allah ibn ‘Adī ibn Khiyór mun tafi Hims [Siriya]. A lokacin, Waúshī ma yana zaune a ûimü; saboda haka muka tafi don mu gana da shi. Da ya ga ‘Ubaid Allóh kawai, sai ya tambaya, “Shin kai ɗan ‘Adī ibn Khiyór ne?”.
‘Ubaid Allah ibn ‘Adī ibn Khiyór and I went to Hims [Syria]. At that time, Waúshī was also settled in ûimü; therefore we went to go and meet him. As soon as he saw ‘Ubaid Allóh, he asked, “Are you the son of ‘Adī ibn Khiyór?”.
‘Ubaid Allah ya amsa, “Eh, ni ɗansa ne. Amma ta yaya kake sanina, ban taɓa haɗuwa da kai a baya ba.”
‘Ubaid Allóh replied, “Yes, I am his son. But how do you know me, I have never met you before.”.
Waúshī ya amsa, "Gaskiya ne ba mu taɓa haduwa a baya ba, amma lokacin da aka haife ka na ɗauke ka na ba ungiyar ebe. Lokacin da na ɗauke ka, komai ya lulluɓe in ban da ƙafafunka. Yau, da ka zo, na ga ƙafafunka na kuma gane ka."
Waúshī replied, “It is true we have never met before, but when you were born I picked you up and gave you to the mid-wife. When I picked you up, everything was covered except your feet. Today, when you came I saw your feet and recognized you.”.
Wahshī ya ga ‘Ubaid Allah ibn ‘Adi ibn Khiyar bayan shekara nawa? Ibn Hajar, Hafiz, ya rubuta a cikin Fath al-Bari cewa: "Bayan haihuwa, ya sake ganinsa a karo na biyu bayan shekara hamsin." 14 Abin mamaki shi ne cewa Wahshī ya gane shi nan take.15
Waúshī saw ‘Ubaid Allah ibn ‘Adi ibn Khiyór after how many years? Hafiz ibn Hajar writes in Fatú al-Barī, “After birth, he saw him for the second time after fifty years”.14 And the amazing part is that Wahshī recognized him immediately.15
Littattafan tarihi da littattafan tarihin rayuwar masu ruwaya suna cike da irin waɗannan labarai. Da farko, Allah (SWT) ya albarkace su da ƙwaƙwalwa mai ban mamaki, kuma na biyu, sun kasance masu ƙwazo ga hadisai har suka ɗauki kowane mataki suka yi duk ƙoƙarin da ƙarfinsu ya kai don samun ilimin su.

The books of history and the books on the biographies of the narrators are full of such incidents. Firstly Allah (SWTH) blessed them with extraordinary memories, and, secondly, they were so passionate about ahadith that they took every step and made every effort within their means to gain knowledge of it. Their endeavors and hardships in this regard are not difficult for us to realize and understand in our times.
