[Machine] "When the people of Yemen came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , they asked him to send a man with them to teach them. So, he sent Abu Ubaidah with them and said, 'He is trustworthy for this nation.'"  

أحمد:١٢٢٦١حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْيَمَنِ لَمَّا قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَأَلُوهُ أَنْ يَبْعَثَ مَعَهُمْ رَجُلًا يُعَلِّمُهُمْ فَبَعَثَ مَعَهُمْ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ وَقَالَ هُوَ أَمِينُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ

لَمَّا قَدِمَ أَهْلُ الْيَمَنِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالُوا ابْعَثْ مَعَنَا رَجُلًا يُعَلِّمُنَا كِتَابَ رَبِّنَا وَالسُّنَّةَ قَالَ فَأَخَذَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِيَدِ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ فَدَفَعَهُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَقَالَ هَذَا أَمِينُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ
