Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 836

وَعَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - لَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُسَرِّحَ مُعَاذًا إِلَى الْيَمَنِ ، فَاسْتَشَارَ نَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فِيهِمْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، وَعُمَرُ ، وَعُثْمَانُ ، وَعَلِيٌّ ، وَطَلْحَةُ ، وَالزُّبَيْرُ ، وَأُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ - فَاسْتَشَارَهُمْ ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : لَوْلَا أَنَّكَ اسْتَشَرْتَنَا مَا تَكَلَّمْنَا ، فَقَالَ : " إِنِّي فِيمَا لَمْ يُوحَ إِلَيَّ كَأَحَدِكُمْ " . قَالَ : فَتَكَلَّمَ الْقَوْمُ ، فَتَكَلَّمَ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ بِرَأْيِهِ ، فَقَالَ : " مَا تَرَى يَا مُعَاذُ " ، فَقُلْتُ : أَرَى مَا قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَكْرَهُ فَوْقَ سَمَائِهِ أَنْ يُخْطِئَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ ، وَفِيهِ أَبُو الْعَطُوفِ ، لَمْ أَرَ مَنْ تَرْجَمَهُ يَرْوِي عَنِ الْوَضِينِ بْنِ عَطَاءٍ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ مُوَثَّقُونَ .
Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to send Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) to Yemen, he consulted some of his Companions about it, among whom were Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, Sayyiduna Umar, Sayyiduna Uthman, Sayyiduna Ali, Sayyiduna Talhah, Sayyiduna al-Zubayr and Sayyiduna Usayd bin Hudayr (may Allah be pleased with them). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sought their counsel, and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Had you not sought our counsel, we would not have spoken. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: In matters about which nothing has been revealed to me, I am like any one of you. So those present began to speak, and each person stated his opinion. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Mu'adh, what is your opinion? I said: My opinion is the same as what Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) has stated. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty, above the heavens, dislikes that Abu Bakr should err."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; its chain contains a narrator, Abu al-Atuf, and I have not seen anyone who has written a biography of him; he narrates from al-Wadin bin Ata'. The rest of its narrators have been declared trustworthy.
