Hadith 12746
عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ”إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ أَرْضًا يُقَالُ لَهَا عَمَّانُ يَنْضَحُ بِنَاحِيَتِهَا الْبَحْرُ بِهَا حَيٌّ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ لَوْ أَتَاهُمْ رَسُولِي مَا رَمَوْهُ بِسَهْمٍ وَلَا حَجَرٍ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I know of a land called Oman, on one side of which flows the sea. There dwells an Arab tribe, if my envoy were to go to them, they would neither shoot arrows at him nor throw stones at him.
Hadith 12747
عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ هَادِيَةَ قَالَ لَقِيتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ فَقَالَ لِي مِمَّنْ أَنْتَ قُلْتُ مِنْ أَهْلِ عَمَّانَ قَالَ مِنْ أَهْلِ عَمَّانَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَفَلَا أُحَدِّثُكَ مَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُلْتُ بَلَى فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ”إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ أَرْضًا يُقَالُ لَهَا عَمَّانُ يَنْضَحُ بِجَانِبِهَا (وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ بِنَاحِيَتِهَا) الْبَحْرُ الْحَجَّةُ مِنْهَا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ حَجَّتَيْنِ مِنْ غَيْرِهَا“
It is narrated from Hasan bin Hadiyah, he says: I met Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he said to me: From which people are you? I said: I am from the people of Oman. He said: From the people of Oman? I said: Yes! He said: Shall I narrate to you a hadith I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? I said: Please do. He said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I know of a place called Oman, by the side of which flows the sea; performing one Hajj from there is better than performing two Hajj from other places.
Hadith 12748
وَعَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ يَقُولُ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلًا إِلَى حَيٍّ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَرَبِ فَضَرَبُوهُ وَسَبُّوهُ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَشَكَا ذَلِكَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”لَوْ أَهْلَ عَمَّانَ أَتَيْتَ مَا ضَرَبُوكَ وَلَا سَبُّوكَ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Barzah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a man as a representative to an Arab tribe. The people of that tribe beat him and spoke harshly to him. When he returned and complained to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the Prophet said: "If you had gone to the people of Oman, they would neither have beaten you nor spoken harshly to you."
Hadith 12749
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”يَخْرُجُ مِنْ عَدَنِ أَبْيَنَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفًا يَنْصُرُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ هُمْ خَيْرُ مَنْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ“ قَالَ لِي مَعْمَرٌ اذْهَبْ فَاسْأَلْهُ عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Twelve thousand people will emerge from Aden Abyan who will help Allah and His Messenger. Among all the people between me and them, they will be the most virtuous. Mu'ammar said to me: Go and ask about this hadith.
