Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39787 — What Abu Bakr (Ibn Abi Shaybah)

Muhammad bin Abi Kabshah al-Anmari narrates from his father that when (we) were at the Battle of Tabuk, some people hurriedly began to enter (the ruins of) the people of al-Hijr. This reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) gave an order and the call was made: "Inna al-salata jami'ah (the prayer is gathering)." The narrator said: I came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was holding his camel, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying: "Why do you enter upon a people with whom Allah is angry?" The narrator said: A man, amazed at them, said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)!" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Shall I not tell you of something more amazing than this? A man from among yourselves tells you of those who came before and also tells you of what is to come. Be steadfast and keep upright, for Allah Almighty cares nothing about punishing you. And soon Allah Almighty will bring a people who will not ward anything off from themselves."
