Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When the honoured one of a people comes to you, honour him."
Al-Tabarani recorded it. The narrator Shahr did not reach the time of Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him), and the narrator Abdullah bin Khirash is da'if (weak); Ibn Hibban declared him thiqah (trustworthy) and said: he sometimes makes mistakes.
