[Machine] "A delegation from the people of Yemen came to the Prophet ﷺ, and he wanted to send a man with them. They said, 'Send a man with us,' so he said, 'I will send with you a trustworthy person of this nation.' He then sent Abu Ubaydah bin Al-Jarrah. In another narration, they said, 'O Messenger of Allah, send a man with us to teach us.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took the hand of Abu Ubaydah bin Al-Jarrah and said, 'Every nation has a trustworthy person, and this is the trustworthy person of this nation.'"  

أحمد:١٢٧٨٩حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلٌ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

أَنَّ وَفْدًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ قَدِمُوا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَبْعَثَ مَعَهُمْ رَجُلًا فَقَالُوا ابْعَثْ مَعَنَا رَجُلًا فَقَالَ أَبْعَثُ مَعَكُمْ أَمِينَ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ فَبَعَثَ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ وَفِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ابْعَثْ مَعَنَا رَجُلًا يُعَلِّمُنَا فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِيَدِ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ الْجَرَّاحِ فَقَالَ لِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَمِينٌ وَهَذَا أَمِينُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ

Send with us a person who should teach us Sunnah and al-Islam, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) caught hold of the hand of Ubaida and said: He is a man of trust of this Umma. (Using translation from Muslim 2419b)   

أحمد:١٢٤٨١حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْيَمَنِ قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا ابْعَثْ مَعَنَا رَجُلًا يُعَلِّمُنَا فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِيَدِ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ الْجَرَّاحِ فَأَرْسَلَهُ مَعَهُمْ فَقَالَ هَذَا أَمِينُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ
