حَدِيثُ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
Hadith of Jubayr bin Mut'im, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 7401 — We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي مَسِيرٍ لَهُ ، فَقَالَ : يَطْلُعُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلُ الْيَمَنِ كَأَنَّهُمُ السَّحَابُ ، هُمْ خِيَارُ مَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ : إِلَّا نَحْنُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ! فَسَكَتَ ، ثُمَّ أَعَادَهَا ، فَسَكَتَ ، ثُمَّ أَعَادَهَا الثَّالِثَةَ : إِلَّا نَحْنُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ فَقَالَ - كَلِمَةً ضَعِيفَةً - : « إِلَّا أَنْتُمْ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jubayr bin Mut'im (may Allah be pleased with him): We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey when he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The people of Yemen will appear before you as though they were clouds; they are the best of those on the earth." Hearing this, a man of the Ansar said: "O Messenger of Allah! Except us (are they the best)?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent. Then the man repeated it, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) again remained silent. When he said it a third time: "O Messenger of Allah! Except us?" he (peace and blessings be upon him) said in a very soft voice: "Except you (that is, you too are among those best people)."
