Hadith 227

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَيَّارٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ : أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ نَصْرَانِيًّا يُقَالُ لَهُ : الصُّبَيُّ بْنُ مَعْبَدٍ ، أسلم ، فأراد الجهاد ، فقيل له : ابْدَأْ بِالْحَجِّ ، فَأَتَى الْأَشْعَرِيَّ ، فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُهِلَّ بِالْحَجِّ وَالْعُمْرَةِ جَمِيعًا ، فَفَعَلَ ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يُلَبِّي ، إِذْ مَرَّ يَزِيدُ بْنُ صُوحَانَ ، وَسَلْمَانُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ ، فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ : لَهَذَا أَضَلُّ مِنْ بَعِيرِ أَهْلِهِ ، فَسَمِعَهَا الصُّبَيُّ ، فَكَبُرَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ أَتَى عُمَرَ ، فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ : " هُدِيتَ لِسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّكَ ، قَالَ : وَسَمِعْتُهُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى يَقُولُ : وُفِّقْتَ لِسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّكَ " .
Sayyiduna Abu Wa'il says that Sabi bin Ma'bad was a Christian man who accepted Islam. He intended to participate in jihad. Meanwhile, someone said: First perform Hajj, then participate in jihad. So he came to Ash'ari, who instructed Sabi to enter into the state of Ihram for both Hajj and Umrah together. He did so. While reciting the Talbiyah, he passed by Zaid bin Suhan and Salman bin Rabiah. One of them said to the other that this person is more astray than his camel. Sabi heard this and it weighed heavily on him. When he presented himself before Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he mentioned to him what Zaid and Salman had said. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: You have been guided to the Sunnah of your Prophet.
