ahmad:254Yaḥyá > al-Aʿmash

I was a Christian, then I became Muslim. I thought long and hard, and decided to enter ihram for Hajj and ʿUmrah. I passed by Salman bin Rabeeʿah and Zaid bin Soohan in al-ʿUdhaib, and one of them said: Are you doing both of them? His companion said to him. Let him be; he is more misguided than his came! He [as-Subayy] said: It was as if my camel was on my shoulders [i.e., because he was so upset by their words]. I went to ‘Umar and told him about that. ‘Umar said to me: They did not say anything (that matters); you have been guided to the Sunnah of your Prophet ﷺ.  

أحمد:٢٥٤حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ حَدَّثَنَا شَقِيقٌحَدَّثَنِي الصُّبَيُّ بْنُ مَعْبَدٍ وَكَانَ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي تَغْلِبَ قَالَ كُنْتُنَصْرَانِيًّا فَأَسْلَمْتُ فَاجْتَهَدْتُ فَلَمْ آلُ فَأَهْلَلْتُ بِحَجَّةٍ وَعُمْرَةٍ فَمَرَرْتُ بِالْعُذَيْبِ عَلَى سَلْمَانَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ وَزَيْدِ بْنِ صُوحَانَ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا أَبِهِمَا جَمِيعًا؟ فَقَالَ

لَهُ صَاحِبُهُ دَعْهُ فَلَهُوَ أَضَلُّ مِنْ بَعِيرِهِ قَالَ فَكَأَنَّمَا بَعِيرِي عَلَى عُنُقِي فَأَتَيْتُ عُمَرَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ لِي عُمَرُ إِنَّهُمَا لَمْ يَقُولا شَيْئًا هُدِيتَ لِسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّكَ ﷺ

ahmad:227Hushaym > Sayyār from my father

Start with Hajj. So he went to al-Ash'ari, who told him to enter ihram for Hajj and ‘Umrah together. So he did that, and whilst he was reciting the Talbiyah,Zaid bin Soohan and Salman bin Rabee'ah passed by him, and one of them said to the other. This one is more misguided than his family's camel. As-Subayy heard them and that upset him. When he arrived he went to 'Umar and told him about that, 'Umar ؓ said to him: You have been guided to the Sunnah of your Prophet ﷺ. He [the narrator] said: On another occasion I heard him say: You have been helped to follow the Sunnah of the Prophet.  

أحمد:٢٢٧حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ أَخْبَرَنِي سَيَّارٌ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍأَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ نَصْرَانِيًّا يُقَالُ لَهُ الصُّبَيُّ بْنُ مَعْبَدٍ أَسْلَمَ فَأَرَادَ الْجِهَادَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ ابْدَأْ بِالْحَجِّ فَأَتَى الْأَشْعَرِيَّ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُهِلَّ بالْعُمْرَةِ وَالْحَجِّ جَمِيعًا فَفَعَلَ فَبَيْنَا هُوَ يُلَبِّي إِذْ مَرَّ بِزَيْدِ بْنِ صُوحَانَ وَسَلْمَانَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ فَقَالَ

أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ لَهَذَا أَضَلُّ مِنْ بَعِيرِ أَهْلِهِ فَسَمِعَهَا الصُّبَيُّ فَكَبُرَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ أَتَى عُمَرَ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ هُدِيتَ لِسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّكَ قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُهُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى يَقُولُ وُفِّقْتَ لِسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّكَ
