Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 18860 — I came to the Prophet ﷺ, and he ﷺ asked

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الزِّيبَقِيُّ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ الْيَمَامِيُّ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، ثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنْ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، يَزِيدَ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ قَالَ: وَفَدْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلَنِي عَنِ الْيَمَامَةِ «فِيمَنِ الْعَدَدُ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا؟» فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَقُولَ فِي بَنِي عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الدُّؤَلِ ثُمَّ كَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَكْذَبَ نَبِيَّ اللهِ فَقُلْتُ: الْعَدَدُ مِنْهُم فِي بَنِي عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ: «صَدَقْتَ أَرْضٌ نَبَتَتْ عَلَى شِدَّةٍ وَلَن يَهْلَكَ أَهْلُهَا» قَالُوا " يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، بِمَ ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ: «بِأَنَّهُمْ يَعْمَلُونَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ وَيُؤاكِلُونَ عَبِيدَهُمْ»
Sayyiduna Yazid bin Ma'bad (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked me about al-Yamamah: "Which tribe has the greatest number among its inhabitants?" I wanted to name Banu Abdullah bin al-Du'il, but then I disliked lying to the Prophet of Allah, so I said: "The greatest number of them is among Banu Ubayd." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have spoken the truth. It is a land that has grown up in hardship, and its people will never perish." The people said: "O Messenger of Allah, why is that?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Because they work with their own hands and eat together with their slaves."
