adab:237

Umm Musa said, "I heard 'Ali say that the Prophet ﷺ commanded 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud to climb a tree and bring him something from it. His Companions looked at 'Abdullah's thigh and laughed at its thinness. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Why are you laughing? 'Abdullah's foot is heavier in the balance than the mountain of Uhud.'"

الأدب المفرد:٢٣٧حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلامٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفُضَيْلِ بْنِ غَزْوَانَ عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ مُوسَى قَالَتْ

سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا صَلَوَاتُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ يَقُولُ أَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ أَنْ يَصْعَدَ شَجَرَةً فَيَأْتِيَهُ مِنْهَا بِشَيْءٍ فَنَظَرَ أَصْحَابُهُ إِلَى سَاقِ عَبْدِ اللهِ فَضَحِكُوا مِنْ حُمُوشَةِ سَاقَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا تَضْحَكُونَ؟ لَرِجْلُ عَبْدِ اللهِ أَثْقَلُ فِي الْمِيزَانِ مِنْ أُحُدٍ
