[Machine] That Abu Ubaidah bin al-Jarrah used to prepare for the Messenger of Allah by making arrangements for his stay in Makkah, while Abu Talha Zaid bin Sahl would do the same for the people of Madinah. Al-Abbas called two men, took hold of their necks, and said, "Go to Abu Ubaidah and go to Abu Talha. O Allah, reveal to the Messenger of Allah which of them has prepared a place for him." So the companion of Abu Talha, Abu Talha himself, was found, but the companion of Abu Ubaidah, Abu Ubaidah himself, was not found. Thus, he made arrangements for the Messenger of Allah, as narrated by Anas bin Malik, in summary.
أَنْ يَحْفِرُوا لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ أَبُوعُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ يُضْرِحُ لِأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ وَكَانَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ زَيْدُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ ؓ يَلْحَدُ لِأَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَدَعَا الْعَبَّاسُ رَجُلَيْنِ فَأَخَذَ بَأَعْنَاقِهِمَا فَقَالَ اذْهَبْ أَنْتَ إِلَى أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ وَاذْهَبْ أَنْتَ إِلَى أَبِي طَلْحَةَ اللهُمَّ خِرْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَيَّهُمَا جَاءَ حَفَرَ لَهُ فَوَجَدَ صَاحِبُ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ وَلَمْ يَجِدْ صَاحِبُ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ فَلَحَدَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَرُوِيَ ذَلِكَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ مُخْتَصَرًا
