587 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ: ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ الْجُمَحِيُّ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَخْوَالِهِ مِنَ الْأَزْدِ يُقَالَ لَهُ يَزِيدُ بْنُ شَيْبَانَ قَالَ: أَتَانَا ابْنُ مِرْبَعٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ وَنَحْنُ بِعَرَفَةَ فِي مَكَانٍ يُبَاعِدُهُ عَمْرٌو مِنْ مَوْقِفِ الْإِمَامِ قَالَ: فَقَالَ: إِنِّي رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَيْكُمْ يَقُولُ: «كُونُوا عَلَي مَشَاعِرِكُمْ هَذِهِ فَإِنَّكُمْ عَلَي إِرْثٍ مِنْ إِرْثِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ» قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: «وَكَانَ سُفْيَانُ رُبَّمَا قَالَ اثْبُتُوا وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ أَبِيكُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ»
Sayyiduna Yazid bin Shiban (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna Ibn Murabba’ Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) came to us while we were standing in ‘Arafah at a place distant from the standing place of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He informed us: I have come to you as a messenger on behalf of Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Remain at your place, for you are the heirs to the legacy of Ibrahim (peace be upon him).”
Imam Humaydi (may Allah have mercy on him) says: The narrator named Sufyan would sometimes say, “Remember these words,” and sometimes he would say, “You are the heirs of your forefather Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him).”
