حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَنْبَارِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدَةُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ نُبَيْحٍ الْعَنَزِيِّ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَغْزُوَ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ إِنَّ مِنْ إِخْوَانِکُمْ قَوْمًا لَيْسَ لَهُمْ مَالٌ وَلَا عَشِيرَةٌ فَلْيَضُمَّ أَحَدُکُمْ إِلَيْهِ الرَّجُلَيْنِ أَوْ الثَّلَاثَةِ فَمَا لِأَحَدِنَا مِنْ ظَهْرٍ يَحْمِلُهُ إِلَّا عُقْبَةٌ کَعُقْبَةِ يَعْنِي أَحَدِهِمْ قَالَ فَضَمَمْتُ إِلَيَّ اثْنَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةً قَالَ مَا لِي إِلَّا عُقْبَةٌ کَعُقْبَةِ أَحَدِهِمْ مِنْ جَمَلِي
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2534
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: Once the Messenger of Allah ﷺ intended to go on an expedition. He said: O group of the emigrants (Muhajirun) and the helpers (Ansar), among your brethren there are people who have neither property nor family. So one of you should take with him two or three persons; with me. I also rode on my camel by turns like one of them.
