ahmad:1698Muḥammad b. Abū ʿAdī > Dāwud > ʿĀmir

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent the army of Dhat al-Salsal and appointed Abu Ubaydah over the Muhajireen (emigrants) and appointed Amr ibn al-'As over the Arabs. He said to them, "Cooperate with each other." They said, "We were commanded to follow Bakr." So Amr set out and became jealous over Qudaa'ah because Bakr was his cousin. The Mu'gheerah ibn Shu'bah went to Abu Ubaydah and said, "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ appointed you over us, and the son of so-and-so has taken command of the people and you have no authority with him." Abu Ubaydah said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to cooperate, so I obey the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , even if Amr disobeys him."
