أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أُسَيْدِ بْنِ حُضَيْرٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ جَائَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَسْتَعْمِلُنِي کَمَا اسْتَعْمَلْتَ فُلَانًا قَالَ إِنَّکُمْ سَتَلْقَوْنَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّی تَلْقَوْنِي عَلَی الْحَوْضِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5398
It was narrated from Usaid bin Hudhair that a man from among the Ansar came to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and said: “Will you not appoint me as you appointed so- and-so?” He said: “You will encounter selfishness after I am gone, so be patient until you meet me at the cistern (Al-Hawd).” (Sahih)
