وَعَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ يُوسُفَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ ، أَنَّ جَدَّهُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَلَامٍ قَالَ لِأَحْبَارِ الْيَهُودِ : إِنِّي أُحْدِثُ بِمَسْجِدِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ عَهْدًا ، فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَهُوَ بِمَكَّةَ فَوَافَاهُ وَقَدِ انْصَرَفُوا مِنَ الْحَجِّ ، فَوَجَدَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِمِنًى وَالنَّاسُ حَوْلَهُ ، فَقُمْتُ مَعَ النَّاسِ ، فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " أَنْتَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ ؟ " . قَالَ : قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : " ادْنُ " ، فَدَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ قَالَ : " أَنْشُدُكَ بِاللَّهِ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَلَامٍ أَمَا تَجِدُنِي فِي التَّوْرَاةِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ " ، فَقُلْتُ : انْعَتْ رَبَّنَا ، فَجَاءَ جِبْرِيلُ حَتَّى وَقَفَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " ( قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ ) " ، فَقَرَأَهَا عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ ابْنُ سَلَامٍ : أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ ابْنُ سَلَامٍ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَكَتَمَ إِسْلَامَهُ ، فَلَمَّا هَاجَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَأَنَا فَوْقَ نَخْلَةٍ لِي أَجُدُّهَا فَسَمِعْتُ رَجَّةً فَقُلْتُ : مَا هَذَا ؟ [ فَ ] قَالُوا : هَذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَدْ قَدِمَ ، فَأَلْقَيْتُ نَفْسِي مِنْ أَعْلَى النَّخْلَةِ ، ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ أَحْضُرُ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُهُ ، فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ ، فَقَالَتْ أُمِّي : لِلَّهِ أَنْتَ ، لَوْ كَانَ مُوسَى بْنُ عِمْرَانَ - عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ - مَا كَانَ بِذَلِكَ تُلْقِي نَفْسَكَ مِنْ أَعْلَى النَّخْلَةِ ؟ فَقُلْتُ : وَاللَّهِ لَأَنَا أَشَدُّ فَرَحًا بِقُدُومِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مِنْ مُوسَى إِذْ بُعِثَ . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ ، إِلَّا أَنَّ حَمْزَةَ بْنَ يُوسُفَ لَمْ يُدْرِكْ جَدَّهُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَلَامٍ .
Hamzah bin Yusuf bin Abdullah bin Salam narrates that his grandfather Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said to the scholars of the Jews: "I have come back from the mosque built by Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) and Sayyiduna Isma'il (peace be upon him)." He had gone to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was in Makkah. He met the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at the time when the people were returning after performing Hajj; he found the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at Mina, with people around him. He says: I stood with the people. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at me, he asked: "Are you Abdullah bin Salam?" I said: "Yes!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Come near." I came near, and he said: "O Abdullah bin Salam! I ask you by Allah: have you not found in the Torah that I am the Messenger of Allah?" I said: "Describe our Lord to us!" Then Sayyiduna Jibril (peace be upon him) came and stood in front of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: "Recite this: 'Say: He is Allah, the One; Allah, the Self-Sufficient; He neither begets nor was He begotten, and there is none equal to Him.'" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited these verses to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that you are the Messenger of Allah." Then Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) went back to Madinah and kept his Islam hidden from the Jews. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) migrated and came to Madinah, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I had climbed a date palm and was picking dates from it. Meanwhile I heard a clamour and asked: "What is the reason for this?" The people said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has arrived." So I leapt down from the date palm; then I set out until I presented myself before him (peace and blessings be upon him) and greeted him with peace. Then I came back, and my mother said: "If Sayyiduna Musa bin Imran (peace be upon him) had been in his place, you would not have leapt from the date palm on that account." I said: "By Allah! I am happier at the arrival of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) than I would have been at the sending of Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him)."
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy), except that the narrator named Hamzah bin Yusuf did not meet his grandfather Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him).
