Musnad Ahmad 17856

Translation

✧ I was sitting with a man called al-Hakam b. Hazn al-Kulafi, who had companionship with the Prophet ﷺ. He said: He began to narrate to us. He said: I came to the Messenger of God ﷺ as the seventh of seven, or the ninth of nine. He said: He gave us permission, so we entered. We said: O Messenger of God, we have come to you so that you may supplicate for good for us. He said: So he supplicated for good for us, and gave orders concerning us. We were lodged, and he ordered something of dates for us — and the situation at that time was meager. He said: We stayed with the Messenger of God ﷺ for some days, during which we attended the Friday prayer. The Messenger of God ﷺ stood, leaning on a bow — or he said: on a staff — and praised God and extolled Him with light, good, blessed words, then said: “O people, you will never be able to do or bear all that you have been commanded. But aim aright and rejoice.”
