Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39371 — Reports on the emigration

Abu Ishaq said: I heard Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) say: The first of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to come to us were Sayyiduna Mus'ab bin Umayr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him), and these two began to teach the people the Qur'an. Then Sayyiduna Ammar, Sayyiduna Bilal and Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with them) came. Then Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) came with a party of twenty riders. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came. The narrator said: I have never seen the people of Madinah so delighted over anything as they were over this. Sayyiduna al-Bara' said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) had not (yet) arrived before I had read "Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High" among the surahs of the Mufassal.
