"عَنْ عَمْرو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ: قَالَ: قَدِمَ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ وَنَحْنُ بِالْيَمَنِ فَقَالَ: يَا أَهْلَ الْيَمَنِ، أَسْلِمُوا تَسْلَمُوا، إِنِّى رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللهِ إِلَيْكُمْ، قَالَ عَمْرٌو: فَوَقَعَ لَهُ فِى قَلْبِى حُبٌّ فَلَمْ أفَارِقْهُ حَتَّى مَاتَ، فَلَمَّا حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ بَكَيْتُ، فَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ: مَا يَبْكِيكَ؟ قُلْتُ: أَبْكِى عَلَى الْعِلْمِ الَّذِى يَذْهَبُ مَعَكَ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ الْعِلْمَ والإِيمَانَ بَاقِيَانِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، وَعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَلامٍ، فَإِنَّهُ عَاشِرُ عَشَرَةٍ فِى الْجَنَّةِ، وَسَلْمَانِ الْخَيْرِ، وَعُوَيْمِرٍ أَبِى الدَّرْدَاءِ، فَلَحِقْتُ بِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، فَذَكَرَ وَقْتَ الصَّلَاةِ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، فَأَمَرَنِى بِمَا أَمَرَهُ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ أُصَلِّىَ لوقتِهَا، وَأَجْعَلَ صَلَاتَهُمْ تَسْبِيحًا، فَذَكَرْتُ لَهُ فَضِيلَةَ الْجَمَاعَةِ، فَضَرَبَ عَلَى فَخِذِى وَقَالَ: وَيْحَكَ! ! إِنَّ جُمْهُورَ النَّاسِ فَارَقُوا الْجَمَاعَةَ، إِنَّ الْجَمَاعَةَ مَا وَافَقَ طَاعَةَ اللهِ - ﷻ -".

"From ʿAmr b. Maymūn, who said: Muʿādh b. Jabal came to us while we were in Yemen and said: O people of Yemen, submit and you will be safe. I am the messenger of the Messenger of Allah to you. ʿAmr said: Love for him settled in my heart, and I did not part from him until he died. When death came to him, I wept. Muʿādh said: What makes you weep? I said: I weep for the knowledge that goes with you. He said: Knowledge and faith remain until the Day of Resurrection with ʿAbdullāh b. Masʿūd, ʿAbdullāh b. Salām, for he is the tenth of ten in Paradise, Salmān al-Khayr, and ʿUwaymir Abū al-Dardāʾ. So I joined ʿAbdullāh b. Masʿūd, and he mentioned the time of prayer, and I mentioned that to ʿAbdullāh b. Masʿūd. He commanded me with what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had commanded him: to pray it at its proper time and to make my prayer with them a voluntary prayer. Then I mentioned to him the merit of the congregation, and he struck my thigh and said: Woe to you! The majority of the people have left the congregation. The congregation is only that which accords with obedience to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.".
