Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنِ الْمَسْعُودِيِّ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى أَنَّ أَسْمَاءَ لَمَّا قَدِمَتْ لَقِيَهَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ فِي بَعْضِ طُرُقِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ آلْحَبَشِيَّةُ هِيَ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ نِعْمَ الْقَوْمُ أَنْتُمْ لَوْلَا أَنَّكُمْ سَبَقْتُمْ بِالْهِجْرَةِ فَقَالَتْ هِيَ لِعُمَرَ كُنْتُمْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَحْمِلُ رَاجِلَكُمْ وَيُعَلِّمُ جَاهِلَكُمْ وَفَرَرْنَا بِدِينِنَا أَمَا إِنِّي لَا أَرْجِعُ حَتَّى أَذْكُرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَرَجَعَتْ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَلْ لَكُمْ الْهِجْرَةُ مَرَّتَيْنِ هِجْرَتُكُمْ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَهِجْرَتُكُمْ إِلَى الْحَبَشَةِ.
English Translation
Waki' narrated to us, from al-Mas'udi, from Adi b. Thabit, from Abu Burda, from Abu Musa: that when Asma' arrived, Umar b. al-Khattab, may Allah Almighty be pleased with him, met her on one of the roads of Madinah, and said: "Is this the Abyssinian woman?" She said: "Yes." He said: "What a fine people you are, if only you had not been preceded in emigration!" She said to Umar: "You were with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him - he would carry your weak ones and teach your ignorant ones - while we fled with our religion. But I will not go back until I mention that to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him." So she went back to him and told him, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Rather, you have the emigration twice over: your emigration to Madinah and your emigration to Abyssinia."
