Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Once a state of alarm arose in Madinah, so I came to Salim (may Allah be pleased with him), the mawla of Sayyiduna Abu Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him). He had his sword hung around his neck, so I too took my sword and hung it around my neck. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O people! Why did you not turn to Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in the time of danger?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Could you not have done what these two believing men have done?"
Imam Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
