عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ - بَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ - فَقَالَ : " السَّلَامُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الدِّيَارِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، وَرَحِمَ اللَّهُ الْمُسْتَقْدِمِينَ ، وَإِنَّا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَاحِقُونَ " . - يَعْنِي : بِكُمْ - .

May Allah Almighty have mercy on those who have gone ahead. And if Allah wills, we too shall join." The narrator says: that is, join you.

Hadith Takhrij «أخرجه المعجم الأوسط للطبراني برقم: 8174»
وَعَنْ بَشِيرِ بْنِ الْخَصَاصِيَةِ قَالَ : أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَحِقْتُهُ بِالْبَقِيعِ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ : " السَّلَامُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الدِّيَارِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ " . وَانْقَطَعَ شِسْعِي فَقَالَ : " أَنْعِشْ قَدَمَكَ " . فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، طَالَتْ عُزُوبَتِي ، وَنَأَيْتُ عَنْ دَارِ قَوْمِي ، فَقَالَ : " يَا بَشِيرُ ، أَلَا تَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي أَخَذَ بِنَاصِيَتِكَ مِنْ بَيْنِ رَبِيعَةَ قَوْمٍ يَرَوْنَ لَوْلَاهُمُ انْكَفَأَتِ الْأَرْضُ بِمَنْ عَلَيْهَا " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ وَالْأَوْسَطِ ، وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ ، وَلَهُ طَرِيقٌ عِنْدَ أَحْمَدَ تَأْتِي فِي الْمَنَاقِبِ ، إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ .
Sayyiduna Bashir bin al-Khasasiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and caught up with him at al-Baqi', and I heard him say: "Peace be upon the inhabitants of the dwellings of the believers." (The narrator says:) My sandal strap broke, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Walk without the sandal." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have been away from my land for quite a long time, and I am far from the place of my people." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Bashir, do you not praise Allah Almighty for this, that Allah Almighty took you by the forelock from among the people of Rabi'ah (and granted you the guidance of Islam), a people who think that, were it not for them, the earth would be overturned along with everything on it?"
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy). Ahmad also recorded a chain of it, which will come later in the chapter on virtues, if Allah wills.
