ahmad:18499Abū Aḥmad > Sufyān > Abū Isḥāq > al-Barāʾ or Ghayrih > Jāʾ a man from al-Anṣār Bi-al-ʿAbbās Qad Asarah

[Machine] A man from the Ansar came with a prisoner. Al-Abbas said, "O Messenger of Allah, this is not the prisoner who captured me, but rather a man from the tribe who took me out of his appearance like this and like that." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to the man, "Indeed, Allah has aided you with a noble angel."  

أحمد:١٨٤٩٩حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ قَالَ

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ بِالْعَبَّاسِ قَدْ أَسَرَهُ فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَيْسَ هَذَا أَسَرَنِي أَسَرَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ أَنْزِعُ مِنْ هَيْئَتِهِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِلرَّجُلِ لَقَدْ آزَرَكَ اللهُ بِمَلَكٍ كَرِيمٍ
