عَنْ أَبِي حَسَبَةَ : مُسْلِمِ بْنِ أَكْيَسَ ، مَوْلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ الْجَرَّاحِ قَالَ : ذَكَرَ مَنْ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَوَجَدَهُ يَبْكِي فَقَالَ : مَا يُبْكِيكَ يَا أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ ؟ فَقَالَ : نَبْكِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ذَكَرَ يَوْمًا مَا يَفْتَحُ اللَّهُ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، وَيَفِيءُ عَلَيْهِمْ حَتَّى ذَكَرَ الشَّامَ فَقَالَ : " إِنْ يُنْسَأْ فِي أَجْلِكَ يَا أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ ، فَحَسْبُكَ مِنَ الْخَدَمِ ثَلَاثَةٌ : خَادِمٌ يَخْدِمُكَ ، وَخَادِمٌ يُسَافِرُ مَعَكَ ، وَخَادِمٌ يَخْدِمُ أَهْلَكَ وَيَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ . وَحَسْبُكَ مِنَ الدَّوَابِّ ثَلَاثَةٌ : دَابَّةٌ لِرِحَلِكَ ، وَدَابَّةٌ لِنَقْلِكَ ، وَدَابَّةٌ لِغُلَامِكَ " . ثُمَّ هَذَا أَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى بَيْتِي قَدِ امْتَلَأَ رَقِيقًا ، وَأَنْظُرُ إِلَى مِرْبَطِي قَدِ امْتَلَأَ دَوَابَّ وَخَيْلًا ، فَكَيْفَ أَلْقَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بَعْدَ هَذَا وَقَدْ أَوْصَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " إِنَّ أَحَبَّكُمْ إِلَيَّ ، وَأَقْرَبَكُمْ مِنِّي مَنْ لَقِيَنِي عَلَى مِثْلِ الْحَالِ الَّذِي فَارَقَنِي عَلَيْهَا " . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَفِيهِ رَاوٍ لَمْ يُسَمَّ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ ثِقَاتٌ .
Abu Hasabah Muslim bin Akyas, the freed slave of Abdullah bin Amir, reports this about Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah bin al-Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him): A man related that he once came to Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah (may Allah be pleased with him) and found him weeping. He asked: O Abu Ubaydah, why are you weeping? Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: We are weeping because one day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned how Allah Almighty would grant the Muslims conquests and give them fay' (spoils), until the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned Syria and said: "O Abu Ubaydah, if your life is prolonged, three servants will be enough for you: a servant to serve you, a servant to travel with you, and a servant to serve your family and look after them. And three animals will be enough for you: an animal for your riding, an animal for your baggage, and an animal for your slave." (Then Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah bin al-Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said:) And now I look at my house and it is full of slaves, and I look at my stable and it is full of animals and horses. So how will I meet the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) after this, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had instructed us: "The most beloved of you to me and the closest of you to me will be the one who remains in the same state in which he parted from me."
Ahmad recorded it; its chain contains a narrator who is not named, and the rest of its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
