Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 15130

وَعَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ قَالَ : لَمَّا أَرَادَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ إِلَى أَرْضِ [ الْعِرَاقِ ] ، أَرَادَ أَنْ يَلْقَى ابْنَ عُمَرَ فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ : إِنَّهُ فِي أَرْضٍ لَهُ ، فَأَتَاهُ لِيُوَدِّعَهُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : إِنِّي أُرِيدُ الْعِرَاقَ ، فَقَالَ : لَا تَفْعَلْ ; فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " خُيِّرْتُ بَيْنَ أَنْ أَكُونَ مَلِكًا نَبِيًّا أَوْ نَبِيًّا عَبْدًا ، فَقِيلَ لِي : تَوَاضَعْ ، فَاخْتَرْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ نَبِيًّا عَبْدًا " .
وَإِنَّكَ بَضْعَةٌ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَلَا نَخْرُجُ . قَالَ : فَأَبَى ، فَوَدَّعَهُ وَقَالَ : أَسَتَوْدِعُكَ اللَّهَ مِنْ مَقْتُولٍ . رَوَاهُ الْبَزَّارُ ، وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَرِجَالُ الْبَزَّارِ ثِقَاتٌ .
Imam al-Sha'bi said: When Sayyiduna Husayn bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both) intended to go to the land of Iraq, he wished to meet Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), so he asked about him. He was told that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) was on his land. He went to him to bid him farewell and told him: "I want to go to Iraq." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "Do not do so, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'I was given the choice between being a king-prophet or a servant-prophet. It was said to me: Be humble. So I chose to be a servant-prophet.' And you are a part of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so do not go." The narrator says: But Sayyiduna Imam Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) did not accept his advice, so Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), bidding him farewell, said: "I entrust you to Allah, as one who will be slain."
Imam al-Bazzar recorded it, and Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; the narrators of al-Bazzar are thiqat (trustworthy).
