حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صُدْرَانَ ثنا طَالِبُ بْنُ حُجَيْرٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي هُودٌ الْعَصَرِيُّ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ
بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُحَدِّثُ أَصْحَابَهُ إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ «سَيَطْلُعُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ رَكْبٌ هُمْ خَيْرُ أَهْلِ الْمَشْرِقِ» فَقَامَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ يَتَوَجَّهُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَجْهِ فَلَقِيَ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ رَاكِبًا فَرَحَّبَ وَقَرَّبَ وَقَالَ مَنِ الْقَوْمُ؟ قَالُوا نَفَرٌ مِنْ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ قَالَ فَمَا أَقْدَمَكُمْ هَذِهِ الْبِلَادَ؟ الِتِّجَارَةُ؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ فَتَبِيعُونَ سُيُوفَكُمْ هَذِهِ؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ فَلَعَلَّكُمْ إِنَّمَا قَدِمْتُمْ فِي طَلَبِ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ؟ قَالُوا أَجَلْ فَمَشَى يُحَدِّثُهُمْ حَتَّى إِذَا نَظَرَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ هَذَا صَاحِبُكُمُ الَّذِي تَطْلُبُونَ فَرَمَى الْقَوْمُ بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ عَنْ رِحَالِهِمْ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ سَعَى وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ هَرْوَلَ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ مَشَى حَتَّى أَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخَذُوا بِيَدِهِ فَقَبَّلُوهَا وَقَعَدُوا إِلَيْهِ وَبَقِيَ الْأَشَجُّ وَهُوَ أَصْغَرُ الْقَوْمِ فَأَنَاخَ الْإِبِلَ وَعَقَلَهَا وَجَمَعَ مَتَاعَ الْقَوْمِ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ يَمْشِي عَلَى تُؤَدَةٍ حَتَّى أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ فَقَبَّلَهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «فِيكَ خَصْلَتَانِ يُحِبُّهُمَا اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ» قَالَ مَا هُمَا يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «الْأَنَاةُ وَالتُّؤَدَةُ» فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ أَجَبَلٌ جُبِلْتُ عَلَيْهِ؟ أَوْ خُلُقٌ مِنِّي؟ قَالَ «بَلْ جَبَلٌ جُبِلْتَ عَلَيْهِ» فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَبَلَنِي عَلَى مَا يُحِبُّ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَأَقْبَلَ الْقَوْمُ عَلَى تَمَرَاتٍ لَهُمْ يَأْكُلُونَهَا فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُحَدِّثُهُمْ بِهَا يُسَمِّي لَهُمْ هَذَا كَذَا وَهَذَا كَذَا قَالُوا أَجَلْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ مَا نَحْنُ بِأَعْلَمَ بِأَسْمَائِهَا مِنْكَ فَقَالَ «أَجَلْ» فَقَالُوا لِرَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ أَطْعِمْنَا مِنْ بَقِيَّةِ الْقَوْسِ الَّذِي بَقِيَ مِنْ نَوْطِكَ فَأَتَاهُمْ بِالْبَرْنِيِّ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «هَذَا الْبَرْنِيُّ أَمَا إِنَّهُ مِنْ خَيْرِ تَمْرِكُمْ دَوَاءٌ لَا دَاءَ فِيهِ»

✧ While the Messenger of God ﷺ was speaking to his companions, he said to them: “A group of riders will appear to you from this direction; they are the best people of the East.” Umar b. al-Khattab stood up and went in that direction, where he met thirteen riders. He welcomed them, drew near, and asked: Who are the people? They said: A group from Abd al-Qays. He said: What has brought you to this land? Trade? They said: No. He said: Are you selling these swords of yours? They said: No. He said: Perhaps you have come seeking this man? They said: Yes. He walked with them, talking, until he saw the Prophet ﷺ and said: This is your companion whom you seek. The people threw themselves from their saddles; some ran, some jogged, and some walked until they reached the Prophet ﷺ and took his hand and kissed it, then sat with him. Al-Ashajj, who was the youngest of the group, stayed behind; he made the camels kneel, hobbled them, gathered the people’s belongings, then came walking slowly until he reached the Prophet ﷺ, took his hand and kissed it. The Prophet ﷺ said to him: “You have two qualities that God and His Messenger love.” He said: What are they, O Prophet of God? He said: “Forbearance and deliberateness.” He said: O Prophet of God, is it a disposition I was created with, or a character I have acquired? He said: “Rather, it is a disposition you were created with.” He said: Praise be to God who created me with what God and His Messenger love. Then the people turned to some dates they had and began eating. The Prophet ﷺ spoke to them about the dates, naming this one such-and-such and that one such-and-such. They said: Yes, O Prophet of God, we are not more knowledgeable of their names than you. He said: “Yes.” Then they said to a man among them: Feed us from the remainder of the portion left in your bag. He brought them barni dates. The Prophet ﷺ said: “This is barni. It is among the best of your dates; it is a medicine with no disease in it.”
