Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيُّ عَن أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي مُوسَى عَن أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَبْشِرُوا وَبَشِّرُوا النَّاسَ مَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ صَادِقًا بِهَا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ فَخَرَجُوا يُبَشِّرُونَ النَّاسَ فَلَقِيَهُمْ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ فَبَشَّرُوهُ فَرَدَّهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ رَدَّكُمْ قَالُوا عُمَرُ قَالَ لِمَ رَدَدْتَهُمْ يَا عُمَرُ قَالَ إِذَنْ يَتَّكِلَ النَّاسُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ.
English Translation
Bahz told us: Hammad - meaning Ibn Salamah - told us: Abu Imran al-Jawni told us, from Abu Bakr ibn Abi Musa, from his father, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Rejoice and give glad tidings to the people: whoever says 'There is no god but Allah' sincerely will enter Paradise." So they went out giving glad tidings to the people. Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, met them, and they gave him the glad tidings, but he sent them back. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Who sent you back?" They said, "Umar." He said, "Why did you send them back, O Umar?" He said, "Then the people will rely on this alone, O Messenger of Allah."
