أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجُعْفِيُّ عَنْ مُجَمِّعِ بْنِ يَحْيَى قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَذْكُرُهُ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ
صَلَّيْنَا الْمَغْرِبَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْنَا لَوِ انْتَظَرْنَا حَتَّى نُصَلِّي مَعَهُ الْعِشَاءَ فَانْتَظَرْنَا فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ «مَا زِلْتُمْ هَاهُنَا؟ » قُلْنَا نَعَمْ نُصَلِّي مَعَكَ الْعِشَاءَ قَالَ «أَحْسَنْتُمْ» أَوْ قَالَ «أَصَبْتُمْ» ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَقَالَ «النُّجُومُ أَمَنَةُ السَّمَاءِ فَإِذَا ذَهَبَتِ النُّجُومُ أَتَى السَّمَاءَ مَا تُوعَدُ وَأَنَا أَمَنَةٌ لِأَصْحَابِي فَإِذَا أَنَا ذَهَبْتُ أَتَى أَصْحَابِي مَا يُوعَدُونَ وَأَصْحَابِي أَمَنَةٌ لِأُمَّتِي فَإِذَا ذَهَبَ أَصْحَابِي أَتَى أُمَّتِي مَا يُوعَدُونَ»

✧ We prayed Maghrib with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then we said, "Would that we waited until we prayed 'Isha' with him." So we waited, and he came out to us and said, "Have you been here all this time?" We said, "Yes, to pray 'Isha' with you." He said, "You have done well," or "You have done right." Then he raised his head to the sky and said, "The stars are a trust for the sky; when the stars disappear, what is promised to the sky comes. I am a trust for my Companions; when I depart, what is promised to my Companions comes. My Companions are a trust for my ummah; when my Companions depart, what is promised to my ummah comes."

يرويه حسين الجعفي واختلف عنه فرواه محمد بن خلف التيمي كوفي ضرير البصر شيخ عن حسين الجعفي عن محمد بن سوقة عن سعيد بن أبي عروبة عن أبيه عن أبي موسى وغيره يرويه عن حسين الجعفي عن مجمع بن يحيى الأنصاري عن سعيد بن أبي بردة عن أبيه عن أبي موسى وهو الصحيح
machine translationḤusayn al-Juʿfī narrates it, and there is disagreement about him. Muḥammad b. Khalaf al-Taymī, a Kūfan, blind, a shaykh, narrated it from Ḥusayn al-Juʿfī, from Muḥammad b. Sūqah, from Saʿīd b. Abī ʿArūbah, from his father, from Abū Mūsā. Others narrate it from Ḥusayn al-Juʿfī, from Mujammiʿ b. Yaḥyā al-Anṣārī, from Saʿīd b. Abī Burdah, from his father, from Abū Mūsā, and this is the correct (ṣaḥīḥ) version.
