Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 1524 — In the Days of Ignorance I went out

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ هَارُونَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ بْنِ عُمَرَ وَرَّاقٌ الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، مِنْ وَلَدِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ، حَدَّثَتْنِي أُمُّ عُثْمَانَ بِنْتُ سَعِيدٍ، وَهِي جَدَّتِي، عَنْ أَبِيهَا سَعِيدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ، قَالَ: خَرَجْتُ تَاجِرًا إِلَى الشَّامِ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَلَمَّا كُنْتُ بِأَدْنَى الشَّامِ، " لَقِيَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ، فَقَالَ: هَلْ عِنْدَكُمْ رَجُلٌ تَنَبَّأَ؟ قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: هَلْ تَعْرِفُ صُورَتَهُ إِذَا رَأَيْتَهَا؟ قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، فَأَدْخَلَنِي بَيْتًا فِيهِ صُوَرٌ، فَلَمْ أَرَ صُورَةَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا كَذَلِكَ، إِذْ دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ عَلَيْنَا، فَقَالَ: فِيمَ أَنْتُمْ؟ فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ فَذَهَبَ بِنَا إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ، فَسَاعةَ مَا دَخَلْتُ نَظَرْتُ إِلَى صُورَةِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ آخِذٌ بِعَقِبِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُلْتُ: مَنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ الْقَائِمُ عَلَى عَقِبِهِ؟ قَالَ: إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ نَبِيٌّ، إِلَّا كَانَ بَعْدَهُ نَبِيٌّ إِلَّا هَذَا، فَإِنَّهُ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدَهُ، وَهَذَا الْخَلِيفَةُ بَعْدَهُ، وَإِذَا صِفَةُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِي اللهُ عَنْهُ "
Sayyiduna Jubayr bin Mut'im (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: In the Days of Ignorance I went out to Syria for trade. When I reached the nearest part of Syria, a man from the People of the Book met me and said: Is there among you a man who claims prophethood? I said: Yes. He said: Would you recognise his likeness if you saw it? I said: Yes. He took me into a house in which there were pictures, but I did not see the picture of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). While I was in that state, a man from among them came to us and said: What are you (talking) about? We told him, and he took us to his house. As soon as I entered, I saw the picture of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and I saw another man holding the heel of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I said: Who is this man standing at his heel? He said: There has never been a prophet but that another prophet came after him, except this one, for there is no prophet after him; and this is the caliph after him. And it was the likeness of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him).
