حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنِ الْأَحْنَفِ قَالَ
بَيْنَمَا أَنَا أَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ إِذْ لَقِيَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ، فَقَالَ: أَلَا أُبَشِّرُكَ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: بَلَى قَالَ: أَتَذْكُرُ إِذْ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى قَوْمِكَ بَنِي سَعْدٍ أَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ؟ قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: أَنْتَ وَاللهِ مَا قَالَ إِلَّا خَيْرًا، وَلَا أَسْمَعُ إِلَّا حُسْنًا، فَإِنِّي رَجَعْتُ، فَأَخْبَرْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِمَقَالَتِكَ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ، اغْفِرْ لِلْأَحْنَفِ، قَالَ: فَمَا أَنَا بِشَيْءٍ أَرْجَى مِنِّي لَهَا

✧ While I was circumambulating the House, a man from Banu Sulaym met me and said: Shall I give you good news? He said: I said: Yes. He said: Do you remember when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me to your people, Banu Sa'd, calling them to Islam? He said: I said: By Allah, you said nothing but good, and I heard nothing but good. Then I returned and informed the Prophet ﷺ of what you said. He said: O Allah, forgive al-Ahnaf. He said: There is nothing I hope for more than that.
