أحمد:١٣٢١٧ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ

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
