حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَفَّانَ ثَنَا أَبُو يَحْيَى الْحِمَّانِيُّ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ شمر بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَنْمٍ قَالَ
كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَسَأَلَهُ فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَسِيرٌ إِلَى الرَّبَذَةِ فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ لَوْ أَنَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ قَطَعَ لِي عُضْوًا أَوْ يَدًا مَا هَجَّنْتُهُ بَعْدَمَا سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَا أَظَلَّتِ الْخَضْرَاءُ وَلَا أَقَلَّتِ الْغَبْرَاءُ مِنْ رَجُلٍ أَصْدَقَ لَهْجَةً مِنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ»

✧ I was with Abu al-Darda' when a man came from the direction of Madinah and asked him, and he informed him that Abu Dharr had been sent to al-Rabadhah. Abu al-Darda' said, 'Indeed we belong to Allah and to Him we return. If Abu Dharr had cut off a limb of mine or a hand, I would not have disparaged him after I heard the Prophet ﷺ say: "The green sky has not shaded, nor the dusty earth carried, a man more truthful in speech than Abu Dharr."'
