قَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَيْوَةَ، عَنْ أَرْطَاةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الضَّحَّاكِ، قَالَ:
أَتَيْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ ؓ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ، فَقَالَ: مِمَّنْ أَنْتَ ؟ قُلْتُ: مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ، قَالَ: مِنْ أَيِّ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ ؟ قُلْتُ: مِنْ حِمْصَ، قَالَ: مِنْ حِمْصَ جِئْتَ تَطْلُبُ الْعِلْمَ هَاهُنَا ؟ قُلْتُ: مَا يَمْنَعُنِي أَنْ أَطْلُبَ الْعِلْمَ مِنْ مِثْلِكَ وَأَنْتَ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ؟ قَالَ: فَأُخْبِرُكَ أَنَّ الْقَاصِيَةَ الْأُولَى سَارُوا تِلْوَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى نَزَلُوا الشَّامَ، ثُمَّ جُنْدُكَ خَاصَّةً، فَانْظُرْ مَا كَانُوا عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّهُ السُّنَّةُ

✧ I came to Ibn Umar ؓ and asked him about something of knowledge. He said: From where are you? I said: From the people of al-Sham. He said: From which people of al-Sham? I said: From Homs. He said: From Homs you came seeking knowledge here? I said: What prevents me from seeking knowledge from someone like you, and you are a companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He said: I inform you that the first distant group traveled in the footsteps of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until they settled in al-Sham, then your army in particular, so look at what they were upon, for it is the Sunnah.
