أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي حَمَّادُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا قُرَّةُ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بَعَثَهُ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ قَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَيْكُمْ فَأَلْقَى لَهُ أَبُو مُوسَى وِسَادَةً لِيَجْلِسَ عَلَيْهَا فَأُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ كَانَ يَهُودِيًّا فَأَسْلَمَ ثُمَّ كَفَرَ قَالَ مُعَاذٌ «لَا أَجْلِسُ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ قَضَاءُ اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ فَلَمَّا قُتِلَ قَعَدَ»

✧ That the Prophet ﷺ sent him to Yemen, then sent Mu'adh b. Jabal after that. When he arrived, he said: O people, I am the messenger of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to you. Abu Musa placed for him a cushion to sit on. Then a man was brought who had been a Jew, then became Muslim, then disbelieved. Mu'adh said: “I will not sit until he is killed—the decree of Allah and His Messenger”—three times. When he was killed, he sat.
