قَالَ يَحْيَى بْنُ غَيْلَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُفَضَّلُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ فَضَالَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَرْمَلَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ إِيَاسِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ سَلَمَةَ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَلَقِيَهُ بُرَيْدَةُ بْنُ الْحَصِيبِ فَقَالَ ارْتَدَدْتَ عَنْ هِجْرَتِكَ يَا سَلَمَةُ فَقَالَ مَعَاذَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي فِي إِذْنٍ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ابْدُوا يَا أَسْلَمُ فَتَنَسَّمُوا الرِّيَاحَ وَاسْكُنُوا الشِّعَابَ فَقَالُوا إِنَّا نَخَافُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَضُرَّنَا ذَلِكَ فِي هِجْرَتِنَا قَالَ أَنْتُمْ مُهَاجِرُونَ حَيْثُ كُنْتُمْ.
English Translation
Yahya ibn Ghaylan said: al-Mufaddal — that is, Ibn Fadalah — told us, he said: Yahya ibn Ayyub told me, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Harmalah, from Sa'id ibn Iyas ibn Salamah ibn al-Akwa', that his father told him: that Salamah came to Medina, and Burayda ibn al-Husayb met him and said: "Have you turned back from your migration (hijrah), O Salamah?" He said: "God forbid! I am acting with permission from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: 'Go out, O Aslam, breathe the open air, and dwell in the mountain passes.'" They said: "We fear, O Messenger of Allah, that this will harm our migration." He said: "You are emigrants wherever you may be."
