Arabic (Original)
قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ بَيْنَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِطَرِيقِ مَكَّةَ إِذْ قَالَ يَطْلُعُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلُ الْيَمَنِ كَأَنَّهُمْ السَّحَابُ هُمْ خِيَارُ مَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ وَلَا نَحْنُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَسَكَتَ قَالَ وَلَا نَحْنُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَسَكَتَ قَالَ وَلَا نَحْنُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ كَلِمَةً ضَعِيفَةً إِلَّا أَنْتُمْ.
