حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا نُوحُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبِي هَارُونَ الْعَبْدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يَأْتِيکُمْ رِجَالٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَشْرِقِ يَتَعَلَّمُونَ فَإِذَا جَائُوکُمْ فَاسْتَوْصُوا بِهِمْ خَيْرًا قَالَ فَکَانَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ إِذَا رَآنَا قَالَ مَرْحَبًا بِوَصِيَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي هَارُونَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 2651
Narrated Abu Harun [Al-'Abdi]: from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Men will come to you from the direction of the east to learn. So when they come to you then exhort them to good. He said: When Abu Sa'eed saw us he would say: 'Welcome with the exhortation of the Messenger of Allah, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family.'
