حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ عَمْرِو الْجُمَحِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ بْنِ مُوسَى قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ فَمَرَّتْ رُفْقَةٌ لِأُمِّ الْبَنِينَ فِيهَا أَجْرَاسٌ فَحَدَّثَ سَالِمٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَا تَصْحَبُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ رَكْبًا مَعَهُمْ الْجُلْجُلُ فَكَمْ تَرَى فِي هَؤُلَاءِ مِنْ جُلْجُلٍ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4811
Naafi' ibn 'Umar narrated that Abu bakr ibn Moosa said: I was with Saalim ibn 'Abdullah Ibn ‘Umar when a company of travellers from Umm al-Baneen past, and they had some bells with them. Saalim narrated from his father from the Prophet (PBUH) that he said: "The angels do accompany a party of riders who have bells on their animals' pecks." How many bells do you think these people have?
