Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ غَيْلَانَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُفَضَّلُ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَرْمَلَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جَرْهَدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا يَقُولُ لِجَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مَنْ بَقِيَ مَعَكَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ بَقِيَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ وَسَلَمَةُ بْنُ الْأَكْوَعِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَمَّا سَلَمَةُ فَقَدْ ارْتَدَّ عَنْ هِجْرَتِهِ فَقَالَ جَابِرٌ لَا تَقُلْ ذَلِكَ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لِأَسْلَمَ ابْدُوا يَا أَسْلَمُ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّا نَخَافُ أَنْ نَرْتَدَّ بَعْدَ هِجْرَتِنَا فَقَالَ إِنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ تُهَاجِرُونَ حَيْثُ كُنْتُمْ.
English Translation
Yahya ibn Ghaylan told us, al-Mufaddal told us, Yahya ibn Ayyub told me, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Harmalah, from Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn al-Husayn, from Amr ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Jarhad, who said: I heard a man say to Jabir ibn Abdullah: Who remains with you of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him? He said: Anas ibn Malik and Salamah ibn al-Akwa' remain. A man said: As for Salamah, he has abandoned his emigration and reverted. Jabir said: Do not say that, for I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say to the tribe of Aslam: Go out into the open country, O Aslam. They said: O Messenger of Allah, we fear we will revert after our emigration. He said: You are emigrating wherever you are.
