وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ : بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ ، وَنَحْنُ نَحْوٌ مِنْ ثَمَانِينَ رَجُلًا فِيهِمْ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ، وَجَعْفَرٌ ، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُرْفُطَةَ ، وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَظْعُونٍ ، وَأَبُو مُوسَى ، فَأَتَوُا النَّجَاشِيَّ ، وَبَعَثَتْ قُرَيْشٌ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ ، وَعُمَارَةَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ بِهَدِيَّةٍ ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَا عَلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ سَجَدَا لَهُ ، ثُمَّ ابْتَدَرَاهُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَا : إِنَّ نَفَرًا مِنْ بَنِي عَمِّنَا نَزَلُوا أَرْضَكَ ، وَرَغِبُوا عَنَّا وَعَنْ مِلَّتِنَا قَالَ : فَأَيْنَ هُمْ ؟ قَالَا : هُمْ فِي أَرْضِكَ فَابْعَثْ إِلَيْهِمْ ، فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِمْ ، قَالَ جَعْفَرٌ : أَنَا خَطِيبُكُمُ الْيَوْمَ فَاتَّبَعُوهُ ، فَسَلَّمَ وَلَمْ يَسْجُدْ ، فَقَالُوا لَهُ : مَا لَكَ لَا تَسْجُدُ لِلْمَلِكِ ؟ قَالَ : إِنَّا لَا نَسْجُدُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَالَ : وَمَا ذَاكَ ؟ قَالَ : إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بَعَثَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولَهُ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ لَا نَسْجُدَ لِأَحَدٍ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، وَأَمَرَنَا بِالصَّلَاةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ .
قَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ : فَإِنَّهُمْ يُخَالِفُونَكَ فِي عِيسَى قَالَ : مَا يَقُولُونَ فِي عِيسَى بْنِ مَرْيَمَ وَأُمِّهِ ؟ قَالَ : يَقُولُونَ كَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : هُوَ كَلِمَةُ اللَّهِ وَرُوحُهُ أَلْقَاهَا إِلَى الْعَذْرَاءِ الْبَتُولِ ، الَّتِي لَمْ يَمَسَّهَا ، وَلَمْ يَفْتَرِضْهَا وَلَدٌ . قَالَ : فَرَفَعَ عُودًا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ ، وَقَالَ : يَا مَعْشَرَ الْحَبَشَةِ الْقِسِّيسِينَ وَالرُّهْبَانِ ، وَاللَّهِ مَا يَزِيدُونَ عَلَى الَّذِي نَقُولُ فِيهِ مَا سِوَى هَذَا ، مَرْحَبًا بِكُمْ ، وَبِمَنْ جِئْتُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ ، أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَأَنَّهُ الَّذِي نَجِدْهُ فِي الْإِنْجِيلِ ، وَأَنَّهُ الَّذِي بَشَّرَ بِهِ عِيسَى بْنُ مَرْيَمَ ، انْزِلُوا حَيْثُ شِئْتُمْ ، فَوَاللَّهِ لَوْ مَا أَنَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْمُلْكِ لَأَتَيْتُهُ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَنَا أَحْمِلُ نَعْلَيْهِ وَأُوَضِّئُهُ . وَأَمَرَ بِهَدِيَّةِ الْآخَرِينَ فَرُدَّتْ عَلَيْهِمَا .
ثُمَّ تَعَجَّلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ حَتَّى أَدْرَكَ بَدْرًا ، وَزَعَمَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - اسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ حِينَ بَلَغَهُ مَوْتُهُ . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَفِيهِ حُدَيْجُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ ، وَثَّقَهُ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ ، وَقَالَ : فِي بَعْضِ حَدِيثِهِ ضَعْفٌ ، وَضَعَّفَهُ ابْنُ مَعِينٍ ، وَغَيْرُهُ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ ثِقَاتٌ .

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Messenger of Allah sent us to the Negus; we were about eighty men. Among them were Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyiduna Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Urfutah (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyiduna Uthman bin Maz'un (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him). These people came to the Negus. The Quraysh sent Amr bin al-As and Umarah bin al-Walid with gifts. When the two of them came before the Negus, they prostrated to him, then hurried to take places on his right and his left. Then the two of them said: "Some people from among our cousins have come and settled in your land. They have turned away from us and turned away from our religion." The Negus asked: "Where are they?" The two of them said: "They live in your land; send for them." The Negus sent for those people. Sayyiduna Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) said (to his companions): "Today I will be your spokesman." Then they went to the Negus. He greeted with salam but did not prostrate. The courtiers said to Sayyiduna Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him): "Why did you not prostrate to the king?" He replied: "We prostrate only to Allah Almighty." The Negus asked: "What is the matter?" He said: "Allah Almighty has sent His Messenger to us, and he has commanded us not to prostrate to anyone other than Allah Almighty, and he has commanded us to pray and to give zakah." Amr bin al-As said: "These people hold a belief different from yours concerning Isa." The Negus said: "What do they say about Isa bin Maryam and his mother?" Sayyiduna Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "They say what Allah Almighty has said: he was the Word of Allah Almighty and His spirit, which Allah Almighty cast to the pure virgin Maryam, a woman whom no man had touched, nor did the birth of the child (come about through the act of any human being)." The narrator says: The Negus picked up a twig from the ground and said: "O priests and monks of Abyssinia! By Allah! They do not add to what we say about him even as much as this stick (or twig). Welcome to you, and welcome to the one from whom you have come. I bear witness that he is the Messenger of Allah, that he is the one whom we find mentioned in the Gospel, and that he is the one about whom Isa bin Maryam gave glad tidings. Stay wherever you wish. By Allah! Were it not for the affairs of my kingship, I would go to him, until I would carry his shoes and help him perform ablution." Then the Negus ordered that the gift of the other people be returned to them. Then Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) returned early from Abyssinia, and he even had the honour of taking part in the Battle of Badr. He stated that when the news of the Negus's death reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he prayed for his forgiveness.
Al-Tabarani recorded it. Its chain contains Hudayj bin Mu'awiyah, whom Abu Hatim declared thiqah (trustworthy), saying: "There is some weakness in some of his hadith." Yahya bin Ma'in and others declared him da'if (weak). The remaining narrators of this report are thiqat (trustworthy).
