48. Virtues of the Companions
٤٨۔ كِتَابُ الْمَنَاقِبِ
[Machine] I heard 'Amr ibn al-'As saying that the people panicked in Madinah with the Prophet ﷺ so they scattered. Then I saw Salim seeking refuge with his sword and sitting in the mosque. When I saw that, I did the same as he did. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out, saw me and saw Salim and he came to the people. He said, "O people! Wasn't your refuge to be with Allah and His Messenger? Won't you do as these two believers did?"
سَمِعْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ يَقُولُ فَزِعَ النَّاسُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَتَفَرَّقُوا فَرَأَيْتُ سَالِمًا احْتَبَى سَيْفَهُ فَجَلَسَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ ذَلِكَ فَعَلْتُ مِثْلَ الَّذِي فَعَلَ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «فَرَآنِي وَسَالِمًا وَأَتَى النَّاسَ» فَقَالَ «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَلَا كَانَ مَفْزَعُكُمْ إِلَى اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ أَلَا فَعَلْتُمْ كَمَا فَعَلَ هَذَانِ الرَّجُلَانِ الْمُؤْمِنَانِ»
