حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الزِّيبَقِيُّ ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ الْيَمَامِيُّ ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ الْفَضْلِ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ عَنْ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ قَالَ
وَفَدْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَسَأَلَنِي عَنِ الْيَمَامَةِ فِيمَنِ الْعَدَدُ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَقُولَ فِي بَنِي عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الدُّؤَلِ ثُمَّ كَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَكْذَبَ نَبِيَّ اللهِ فَقُلْتُ الْعَدَدُ مِنْهُم فِي بَنِي عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ صَدَقْتَ أَرْضٌ نَبَتَتْ عَلَى شِدَّةٍ وَلَن يَهْلَكَ أَهْلُهَا قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ بِمَ ذَاكَ قَالَ بِأَنَّهُمْ يَعْمَلُونَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ وَيُؤاكِلُونَ عَبِيدَهُمْ

✧ I came as a delegate to the Prophet ﷺ, and he asked me about al-Yamamah: in which tribe is the numerical majority of its people? I wanted to say in Banu 'Abd Allah b. al-Du'al, but then I disliked lying to the Prophet of Allah, so I said: The majority among them is in Banu 'Ubayd. He said: You have spoken the truth. A land that has grown despite hardship, and its people will never perish. They said: O Messenger of Allah, why is that? He said: Because they work with their own hands and share their food with their slaves.
