٤٨۔ كِتَابُ الْمَنَاقِبِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There will come before you a people who have softer and more tender hearts than you." He said, "The Ash'arites were from among them, and when they neared the city (Madina), they began to tremble in anticipation of meeting the beloved Muhammad and his companions."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَقْدَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَقْوَامٌ هُمْ أَرَقُّ مِنْكُمْ قُلُوبًا» قَالَ فَقَدِمَ الْأَشْعَرِيُّونَ مِنْهُمْ أَبُو مُوسَى فَلَمَّا دَنَوْا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ جَعَلُوا يَرْتَجِزُونَ غَدًا نَلْقَى الْأَحِبَّةْ مُحَمَّدًا وَحِزْبَهْ
