حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، وَعُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، سَمِعْتُ حَرْمَلَةَ الْمِصْرِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ شِمَاسَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي بَصْرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّكُمْ سَتَفْتَحُونَ مِصْرَ ، وَهِيَ أَرْضٌ يُسَمَّى فِيهَا الْقِيرَاطُ ، فَإِذَا فَتَحْتُمُوهَا فَأَحْسِنُوا إِلَى أَهْلِهَا ، فَإِنَّ لَهُمْ ذِمَّةً وَرَحِمًا ، أَوَ قَالَ ذِمَّةً وَصِهْرًا ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ رَجُلَيْنِ يَخْتَصِمَانِ فِيهَا فِي مَوْضِعِ لَبِنَةٍ ، فَاخْرُجْ مِنْهَا " ، قَالَ : فَرَأَيْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ شُرَحْبِيلَ بْنِ حَسَنَةَ ، وَأَخَاهُ رَبِيعَةَ ، يَخْتَصِمَانِ فِي مَوْضِعِ لَبِنَةٍ فَخَرَجْتُ مِنْهَا .
Abu Dharr (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: You would soon conquer Egypt and that is a land which is known (as the land of al-qirat). So when you conquer it, treat its inhabitants well. For there lies upon you the responsibility because of blood-tie or relationship of marriage (with them). And when you see two persons falling into dispute amongst themselves for the space of a brick, than get out of that. He (Abu Dharr) said: I saw Abdul Rahman bin Shurahbil bin Hasana and his brother Rabi'ah disputing with one another for the space of a brick. So I left that (land).
