(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ آخَرَ بِنَحْوِهِ وَفِيهِ) عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: بَيْنَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِطَرِيقِ مَكَّةَ إِذْ قَالَ: ”يَطْلُعُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلُ الْيَمَنِ كَأَنَّهُمُ السَّحَابُ، هُمْ خِيَارُ مَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ“، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ: وَلَا نَحْنُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ!، فَسَكَتَ، قَالَ: وَلَا نَحْنُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ!، فَسَكَتَ، قَالَ: وَلَا نَحْنُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ!، فَقَالَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ كَلِمَةً ضَعِيفَةً: ”إِلَّا أَنْتُمْ“
(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jubair bin Mut’im, may Allah be pleased with him, who says: We were with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, on the road to Makkah. He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The people of Yemen are coming to you, as if they are like pieces of clouds. They are the best among all the people on the face of the earth. An Ansari said: O Messenger of Allah! Are we not better as well? At his words, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, remained silent. He asked again: O Messenger of Allah! Are we not better as well? The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, again remained silent. He asked a third time: O Messenger of Allah! And are we not better as well? So the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, softly said the third time: Except for you.
