عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ فِي بَعْثٍ مَرَّةً فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ {اذْهَبْ فَأْتِنِي بِمَيْمُونَةَ} فَقُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ إِنِّي فِي الْبَعْثِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ {أَلَسْتَ تُحِبُّ مَا أُحِبُّ} قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ {اذْهَبْ فَأْتِنِي بِهَا} فَذَهَبْتُ فَجِئْتُ بِهَا
Mawla of the Messenger, Sayyiduna Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: He says, once my name was also registered in a detachment. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: Go and bring Maymunah. I submitted: O Prophet of Allah! My name has already been written in such-and-such detachment. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you not like the work that I like? I replied: Yes, of course. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then go and bring Maymunah to me. So I went and brought her.
