Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 9443 — on encouragement to love the righteous
عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ وَفَدْتُ فِي خِلَافَةِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ وَإِنَّمَا حَمَلَنِي عَلَى الْوِفَادَةِ لُقِيُّ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ وَأَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَقِيتُ صَفْوَانَ بْنَ عَسَّالٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ هَلْ رَأَيْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَغَزَوْتُ مَعَهُ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ غَزْوَةً
Zirr bin Hubaish says: During the caliphate of Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him), I set out on a journey. The thing that motivated me for this journey was the meeting with Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b and other companions. So I met Sayyiduna Safwan bin Assal (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: Did you see the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? He said: Yes, indeed, I even participated in twelve battles with him (peace and blessings be upon him).
