قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لأَهْلِ نَجْرَانَ لأَبْعَثَنَّ يَعْنِي عَلَيْكُمْ يَعْنِي أَمِينًا حَقَّ أَمِينٍ فَأَشْرَفَ أَصْحَابُهُ فَبَعَثَ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ ؓ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لأَهْلِ نَجْرَانَ لأَبْعَثَنَّ إِلَيْكُمْ رَجُلاً أَمِينًا حَقَّ أَمِينٍ فَاسْتَشْرَفَ لَهَا أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَبَعَثَ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ
