حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَلِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ
قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِذَا بَعَثْتَنِي أَكُونُ كَالسِّكَّةِ الْمُحْمَاةِ، أَمِ الشَّاهِدُ يَرَى مَا لَا يَرَى الْغَائِبُ ؟ قَالَ: الشَّاهِدُ يَرَى مَا لَا يَرَى الْغَائِبُ

I said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when you send me on a mission, should I go and do what you tell me to do (with no delay) or witness and find out what someone who is not there cannot find out? He said: ʿWitness and find out what someone who is not there cannot find out.ʿ
