Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 597 — Imam al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him)
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ : نَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ : نَا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ سَالِمٍ ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ قَالَ : لَمَّا أَرَادَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخُرُوجَ إِلَى الْعِرَاقِ ، قَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ : لَا تَخْرُجْ ، فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - I " خُيِّرَ بَيْنَ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ ، فَاخْتَارَ الْآخِرَةَ I " ، وَإِنَّكَ لَنْ تَنَالَهَا أَنْتَ ، وَلَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ وَلَدِكَ ، فَلَمَّا أَبَى إِلَّا الْخُرُوجَ ، قَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ : أَسْتَوْدِعُكَ اللهَ مِنْ مَقْتُولٍ .
لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ إِلَّا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ سَالِمٍ ، وَلَا رَوَاهُ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ إِلَّا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ وَشَبَابَةُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ .

Imam al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) relates that when Sayyiduna al-Husayn bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both) intended to set out for Iraq, Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said to him: "Do not go there, for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was given the choice between this world and the Hereafter, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) chose the Hereafter; and indeed this (worldly rule) will be attained neither by you nor by any of your descendants." Then, when he insisted on going (to Iraq), Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said to him: "I entrust you to Allah, as one who will be killed (as a martyr)."
No one narrated this hadith from Imam al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) except Yahya bin Isma'il bin Salim (may Allah have mercy on him), and no one narrated it from Yahya bin Isma'il (may Allah have mercy on him) except Sa'id bin Sulayman and Shababah bin Sawwar (may Allah have mercy on them both).
