قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْجَزَرِيُّ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ رُفَيْعٍ، عَنْ مَعْبَدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، قَالَ:
كَانَ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَمِيرَةَ السَّكْسَكِيُّ، وَكَانَ تِلْمِيذًا لِمُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، قَالَ: فَقُبِضَ مُعَاذٌ ؓ وَلَحِقَ يَزِيدُ بِالْكُوفَةِ، فَأَتَى مَجْلِسَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ وَلَيْسَ ثَمَّةَ، فَجَعَلُوا يَتَذَاكَرُونَ الْإِيمَانَ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: لَوْ شَهِدْتُ أَنِّي مُؤْمِنٌ لَشَهِدْتُ أَنِّي فِي الْجَنَّةِ، قَالَ يَزِيدُ: فَأَشْهَدُ أَنِّي مُؤْمِنٌ، وَلَا أَشْهَدُ أَنِّي فِي الْجَنَّةِ، إِذْ جَاءَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ فَأُخْبِرَ بِذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ لِيَزِيدَ: أَكَذَاكَ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: وَمِنْ أَيْنَ ذَاكَ ؟ قَالَ يَزِيدُ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ: إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَالَّذِينَ هَادُوا وَالصَّابِئِينَ وَالنَّصَارَى وَالْمَجُوسَ وَالَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا فَمِنْ أَيِّ هَؤُلَاءِ أَنْتَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ؟ فَقَالَ: مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا قَالَ: نَعَمْ حَقًّا، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِيَزِيدَ: آللهِ، أَكُنْتَ تِلْمِيذًا لِمُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ ؓ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ: إِنَّ مُعَاذًا كَانَ أُمَّةً قَانِتًا حَنِيفًا وَلَمْ يَكُ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ. قَالَ أَصْحَابُهُ: إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كَانَ أُمَّةً قَانِتًا لِلهِ قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ: إِنَّ مُعَاذًا ؓ كَانَ أُمَّةً قَانِتًا لِلهِ حَنِيفًا.

✧ There was a man called Yazid b. Umayra al-Saksaki, and he was a student of Mu'adh b. Jabal. He mentioned the hadith. He said: Mu'adh ؓ passed away and Yazid joined al-Kufa. He came to the gathering of Abdullah b. Mas'ud ؓ but he was not there. They began discussing faith. Some of them said, 'If I testify that I am a believer, I would testify that I am in Paradise.' Yazid said, 'I testify that I am a believer, but I do not testify that I am in Paradise.' Then Ibn Mas'ud ؓ came and was informed of that. Ibn Mas'ud ؓ said to Yazid, 'Is that so?' He said, 'Yes.' He said, 'And why is that?' Yazid said, 'O Abu Abd al-Rahman, Allah Most High says: "Indeed, those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Sabians, and the Christians, and the Magians, and those who associate others with Allah..." Which of these are you, O Abu Abd al-Rahman?' Ibn Mas'ud said, 'From those who believe.' Yazid said, 'Yes, truly.' Then Ibn Mas'ud said to Yazid, 'By Allah, were you a student of Mu'adh b. Jabal ؓ?' He said, 'Yes.' Ibn Mas'ud ؓ said, 'Mu'adh was a nation, devoutly obedient, upright, and he was not of the polytheists.' His companions said, 'Indeed, Ibrahim was a nation, devoutly obedient to Allah.' Ibn Mas'ud ؓ said, 'Mu'adh ؓ was a nation, devoutly obedient to Allah, upright.'
