حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَنْقَزِيُّ أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي هَارُونَ الْعَبْدِيِّ قَالَ کُنَّا إِذَا أَتَيْنَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ قَالَ مَرْحَبًا بِوَصِيَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَنَا إِنَّ النَّاسَ لَکُمْ تَبَعٌ وَإِنَّهُمْ سَيَأْتُونَکُمْ مِنْ أَقْطَارِ الْأَرْضِ يَتَفَقَّهُونَ فِي الدِّينِ فَإِذَا جَائُوکُمْ فَاسْتَوْصُوا بِهِمْ خَيْرًا
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 249
It was narrated that Abu Hârun Al-’Abdi said: “When we came to Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri, he would say: ‘Welcome, in accordance with the injunction of the Messenger of Allah , for the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H said to us: “The people will follow you; they will come to you from all parts of the earth seeking to understand the religion. So when they come to you, take care of them.” (Da`if)
