٣٥٣٧١ - حدثنا يزيد بن هارون قال: أخبرنا (مستلم) (١) بن سعيد قال: ثنا خبيب بن عبد الرحمن بن خبيب عن أبيه عن جده قال: خرج رسول اللَّه ﷺ يريد وجهًا، فأتيته أنا ورجل من قومي، فقلنا: إن شهد قومنا (مشهدًا لا نشهده) (٢) معهم قال: "أسلمتما؟ " قلنا: لا، قال: "فإنا لا نستعين بالمشركين على المشركين"، قال: (فأسلمنا) (٣) وشهدنا معه (٤).
Hazrat Khubaib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out with the intention of battle, so I and a man from my tribe came to the service of the Prophet (peace be upon him). We said: We feel ashamed that our people are present on the battlefield and we are not participating with them. The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked: Have both of you accepted Islam? We said: No! The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Surely, we do not seek help from polytheists against polytheists. The narrator says: Then both of us embraced Islam and participated with the Prophet (peace be upon him).
