وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو . ح وحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، وَابْنُ أَبِي خَلَفٍ ، عَنْ زَكَرِيَّاءَ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ كِلَاهُمَا ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ شُعْبَةَ ، وَلَيْسَ فِي حَدِيثِ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ وَتَطَاوَعَا وَلَا تَخْتَلِفَا .
It has also been narrated by Sa'd bin Abu Burda through his father through his grandfather that the Prophet (ﷺ) of Allah (ﷺ) sent him and Mu'adh (on a mission) to the Yemen, and said (by way of advising them): Show leniency (to the people); don't be hard upon them; give them glad tidings (of Divine favours in this world and the Hereafter); and do not create aversion. Work in collaboration and don't be divided.
