حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ حَدَّثَنِي رَاشِدُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ لَمَّا بَعَثَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ خَرَجَ مَعَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُوصِيهِ وَمُعَاذٌ رَاكِبٌ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمْشِي تَحْتَ رَاحِلَتِهِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَالَ يَا مُعَاذُ إِنَّكَ عَسَى أَنْ لَا تَلْقَانِي بَعْدَ عَامِي هَذَا أَوْ لَعَلَّكَ أَنْ تَمُرَّ بِمَسْجِدِي هَذَا أَوْ قَبْرِي فَبَكَى مُعَاذٌ جَشَعًا لِفِرَاقِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ فَأَقْبَلَ بِوَجْهِهِ نَحْوَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِي الْمُتَّقُونَ مَنْ كَانُوا وَحَيْثُ كَانُوا.
الترجمة الإنجليزية
Abu al-Mughirah told us, Safwan told us, Rashid ibn Sa'd told me, from Asim ibn Humayd, from Mu'adh ibn Jabal, who said: When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, sent him to Yemen, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, went out with him to give him instructions, with Mu'adh riding and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, walking beneath his mount. When he had finished, he said: O Mu'adh, perhaps you will not meet me after this year of mine, or perhaps you will pass by this mosque of mine, or my grave. Mu'adh wept out of grief at parting from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. Then he turned, facing towards Madinah, and said: The people closest to me are the God-fearing, whoever they are and wherever they are.
