[Machine] The narrator mentioned that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ struck his shoulder and then said, "You have succeeded, O Qadim. If you die without being a ruler, a scribe, or an usher." Ali narrated to us, I am Ahmad ibn Ubaid, narrated by Ahmad ibn Bishr al-Marthadi, narrated by Hajib ibn al-Walid, narrated by Muhammad ibn Harb. He mentioned it in a similar way except that he said, "He didn't become a ruler, a tax collector, or an usher."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ضَرَبَ عَلَى مَنْكِبِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَفْلَحْتَ يَا قَدِيمُ إِنْ مِتَّ وَلَمْ تَكُنْ أَمِيرًا أَوْ كَاتِبًا أَوْ عَرِيفًا 13048 أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيٌّ أنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ الْمَرْثَدِيُّ ثنا حَاجِبُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ فَذَكَرَهُ بِنَحْوِهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ وَقَالَ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَمِيرًا وَلَا جَابِيًا وَلَا عَرَّافًا
