حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا مَهْدِيُّ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَازِعِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي رَاسِبٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا بَرْزَةَ قَالَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَسُولًا إِلَى حَيٍّ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَرَبِ فِي شَيْءٍ لَا يَدْرِي مَهْدِيٌّ مَا هُوَ قَالَ فَسَبُّوهُ وَضَرَبُوهُ فَشَكَا ذَلِكَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَوْ أَنَّكَ أَتَيْتَ أَهْلَ عُمَانَ مَا سَبُّوكَ وَمَا ضَرَبُوكَ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ حَدَّثَنَا مَهْدِيٌّ حَدَّثَنَا جَابِرٌ أَبُو الْوَازِعِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا بَرْزَةَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَسُولًا إِلَى حَيٍّ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَرَبِ فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ.

Affan narrated to us, Mahdi ibn Maymun narrated to us, Abu al-Wazi, a man from Banu Rasib, narrated to us, saying: I heard Abu Barzah say: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) sent a messenger to a tribe of the Arabs regarding some matter — Mahdi did not know what it was. They insulted and beat him. He complained about that to the Prophet (peace be upon him), who said: 'Had you gone to the people of Oman, they would not have insulted you or beaten you.' Yunus narrated to us, Mahdi narrated to us, Jabir Abu al-Wazi narrated to us, saying: I heard Abu Barzah narrating from the Prophet (peace be upon him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) sent a messenger to a tribe of the Arabs — and he mentioned a similar narration.
