Musnad Ahmad 12789

Translation

✧ "A delegation from the people of Yemen came to the Prophet ﷺ, and he wanted to send a man with them. They said, 'Send a man with us,' so he said, 'I will send with you a trustworthy person of this nation.' He then sent Abu Ubaydah bin Al-Jarrah. In another narration, they said, 'O Messenger of Allah, send a man with us to teach us.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took the hand of Abu Ubaydah bin Al-Jarrah and said, 'Every nation has a trustworthy person, and this is the trustworthy person of this nation.'"
