Hadith 169

(حديث موقوف) حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ عَبْدَةَ بْنِ أَبِي لُبَابَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ الصُّبَيُّ بْنُ مَعْبَدٍ : " كُنْتُ رَجُلًا نَصْرَانِيًّا فَأَسْلَمْتُ ، فَأَهْلَلْتُ بِالْحَجِّ وَالْعُمْرَةِ ، فَسَمِعَنِي زَيْدُ بْنُ صُوحَانَ ، وَسَلْمَانُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ ، وَأَنَا أُهِلُّ بِهِمَا ، فَقَالَا : لَهَذَا أَضَلُّ مِنْ بَعِيرِ أَهْلِهِ ، فَكَأَنَّمَا حُمِلَ عَلَيَّ بِكَلِمَتِهِمَا جَبَلٌ ، فَقَدِمْتُ عَلَى عُمَرَ ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ ، فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِمَا فَلَامَهُمَا ، وَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ : هُدِيتَ لِسُنَّةِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، هُدِيتَ لِسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّكَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " ، قَالَ عَبْدَةُ : قَالَ أَبُو وَائِلٍ : كَثِيرًا مَا ذَهَبْتُ أَنَا وَمَسْرُوقٌ إِلَى الصُّبَيِّ نَسْأَلُهُ عَنْهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Wa'il (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sabi bin Ma'bad says: I was a Christian, then I accepted Islam. When I reached the Miqat, I entered into Ihram for both Hajj and Umrah. When Zaid bin Suhan and Salman bin Rabiah came to know, they said: "This person is more misguided than his camel." Their words weighed heavier on me than a mountain. So, when I presented myself before Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), I mentioned to him what Zaid and Salman had said. Sayyiduna Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) turned towards both of them and reproached them, and then turned towards me and said: "You have been guided to the Sunnah of your Prophet."
