تَغَدَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، وَمَعَنَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَحَدٌ خَيْرٌ مِنَّا ؟ أَسْلَمْنَا مَعَكَ، وَجَاهَدْنَا مَعَكَ، قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَوْمٌ يَكُونُونَ مِنْ بَعْدِي يُؤْمِنُونَ بِي، وَلَمْ يَرَوْنِي
✧ I ate lunch with the Prophet ﷺ, and Abu Ubayda b. al-Jarrah was with us. Abu Ubayda said to him: O Messenger of Allah, is there anyone better than us? We embraced Islam with you and fought alongside you. He said: Yes, a people who will come after me, who believe in me without having seen me.

قَاتَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَوَّلَ النَّهَارِ كَافِرًا، وَقَاتَلْتُ مَعَهُ آخِرَ النَّهَارِ مُسْلِمًا، وَكُنَّا ثَلَاثَةَ رِجَالٍ وَسَبْعَ نِسْوَةٍ، وَفِينَا أُنْزِلَتْ: وَلَوْلا رِجَالٌ مُؤْمِنُونَ وَنِسَاءٌ مُؤْمِنَاتٌ الْآيَةَ
✧ I fought against the Prophet ﷺ at the beginning of the day as an unbeliever, and I fought with him at the end of the day as a Muslim. We were three men and seven women, and concerning us was revealed: 'And if not for the believing men and the believing women...' the verse.

قُلْتُ لِعَبْدِ خَيْرٍ: كَمْ أَتَى عَلَيْكَ ؟ قَالَ: عِشْرُونَ وَمِائَةُ سَنَةٍ، قُلْتُ: هَلْ تَذْكُرُ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ شَيْئًا ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، كُنَّا بِبِلَادِ الْيَمَنِ، فَجَاءَنَا كِتَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَدْعُو النَّاسَ إِلَى خَيْرٍ وَاسِعٍ، فَكَانَ أَبِي مِمَّنْ خَرَجَ وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ، فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ أَبِي قَالَ لِأُمِّي: مُرِي بِهَذِهِ الْقِدْرِ فَلْتُرَقْ لِلْكِلَابِ، فَإِنَّا قَدْ أَسْلَمْنَا، فَأَسْلِمِي
✧ I said to 'Abd Khayr: How old are you? He said: One hundred and twenty years. I said: Do you remember anything from the time of ignorance? He said: Yes, we were in the lands of Yemen, and the letter of the Messenger of God ﷺ came to us calling people to abundant good. My father was among those who went out while I was a boy. When my father returned, he said to my mother: Order this pot to be poured out for the dogs, for we have become Muslims, so accept Islam too.
