[Machine] "Abdullah said, 'He who forgets, has forgotten. Indeed, we used to liken him to Ibrahim.' Abdullah was asked about the community, and he said, 'The teacher of goodness, the obedient and submissive to Allah and His Messenger ﷺ .' Abdullah then said, 'He who forgets, has forgotten. Indeed, we used to liken him to Ibrahim.' Abdullah was asked about the community, and he said, 'The teacher of goodness, the obedient and submissive to Allah and His Messenger ﷺ .' This hadith is authentic according to the condition of Al-Bukhari and Muslim, but they didn't include it in their collections."  

الحاكم:٥١٨٩أَخْبَرْنَاهُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْقَطِيعِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثنا شُعْبَةُ سَمِعْتُ فِرَاسًا يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ «إِنَّ مُعَاذًا كَانَ أُمَّةً قَانِتًا» قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَشْجَعَ يُقَالُ لَهُ فَرْوَةُ بْنُ نَوْفَلٍ إِنَّمَا ذَاكَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ فَقَالَ

عَبْدُ اللَّهِ «نَسِيَ مَنْ نَسِيَ إِنَّا كُنَّا نُشَبِّهُهُ بِإِبْرَاهِيمَ» وَسُئِلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْأُمَّةِ فَقَالَ مُعَلِّمُ الْخَيْرِ وَالْقَانِتُ الْمُطِيعُ لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ «نَسِيَ مَنْ نَسِيَ إِنَّا كُنَّا نُشَبِّهُهُ بِإِبْرَاهِيمَ» وَسُئِلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْأُمَّةِ فَقَالَ «مُعَلِّمُ الْخَيْرِ وَالْقَانِتُ الْمُطِيعُ لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ ﷺ» صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ على شرط البخاري ومسلم

[Machine] Abdullah, Mu'adh was a devout servant of Allah, following the true path and not being one of the polytheists. Then, a brave man named Forwat forgot and said, "Indeed, it was Ibrahim." And he was asked, "And who forgot?" Indeed, we used to compare Mu'adh to Ibrahim. He was then asked about the nation, and he said, "The teacher of goodness." And he was asked about the devout one, and he said, "Obedient to Allah and His Messenger."
