سَلِيطٌ أَبُو سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ بَدْرِيٌّ
[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ set out on the migration, he was accompanied by Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq and 'Amir ibn Fuhayrah, the servant of Abu Bakr, and Ibn Uriqit, who showed them the way. They passed by Umm Ma'bad Al-Khuzaiyyah, who did not recognize them. He asked her, "O Umm Ma'bad, do you have any milk?" She replied, "No, by Allah, the sheep are without any offspring." He asked, "Then, what is this sheep that I see in the corner of the house?" She said, "It is a sheep that has been left behind after much effort for the sake of the sheep." He asked, "May I milk it?" She replied, "By Allah, it was never mated with any male sheep, so what business do you have with it?" He then stroked its back and udder, and called for a container which he filled with milk. He gave it to his companions to drink from, after they had quenched their thirst. Then he milked it again and filled the container once more before leaving it behind and continuing on his journey. When her husband returned in the evening, he asked his wife, "O Umm Ma'bad, what is this milk and the absence of the sheep in the house? The sheep are without any offspring?" She replied, "No, by Allah, except that a man with a handsome appearance, with a beautiful face, in a state of cleanliness and purity, with radiant eyes and a melodious voice, like that of a branch between two branches, neither too long nor too short, approached us. You could not hit him with a stick nor push him away with a blow. He spoke with eloquence, his speech flowing like the rhythm of poetry. Amongst his companions, he was the most beautiful and perfect. His face was radiant, attracting attention, without being artificial or affected. His companions surround him, eager to fulfill his orders. When he commands, they hasten to fulfill his command, and when he forbids, they abstain from it. I say, this is the description of the leader of Quraysh. If I had seen him, I would follow him, even if it meant exerting myself greatly. They did not know which way the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had taken until they heard a caller calling out in the direction of Abi Qubays."
لَمَّا خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْهِجْرَةِ مَعَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ ؓ وَعَامِرُ بْنُ فُهَيْرَةَ مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَابْنُ أُرَيْقِطٍ يَدُلُّهُمُ الطَّرِيقَ فَمَرَّ بِأُمِّ مَعْبَدٍ الْخُزَاعِيَّةِ وَهِيَ لَا تَعْرِفُهُ فَقَالَ لَهَا «يَا أُمَّ مَعْبَدٍ هَلْ عِنْدَكِ مِنْ لَبَنٍ؟» قَالَتْ لَا وَاللهِ وَإِنَّ الْغَنَمَ لَعَازِبَةٌ قَالَ «فَمَا هَذِهِ الشَّاةُ الَّتِي أَرَاهَا فِي كِفَاءِ الْبَيْتِ؟» قَالَتْ شَاةٌ خَلَّفَهَا الْجَهْدُ عَنِ الْغَنَمِ قَالَ «أَتَأْذَنِينَ فِي حِلَابِهَا؟» قَالَتْ وَاللهِ مَا ضَرَبَهَا مِنْ فَحْلٍ قَطُّ وَشَأْنُكَ بِهَا فَمَسَحَ ظَهْرَهَا وضَرْعَهَا ثُمَّ دَعَا بِإِنَاءٍ يَرْبِضُ الرَّهْطَ فَحَلَبَ فِيهِ فَمَلَأَهُ فَسَقَى أَصْحَابَهُ عَلَلًا بَعْدَ نَهَلٍ ثُمَّ حَلَبَ فِيهِ أُخْرَى فَمَلَأَهُ فَغَادَرَهُ عِنْدَهَا وَارْتَحَلَ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ زَوْجُهَا عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ قَالَ لَهَا يَا أُمَّ مَعْبَدٍ مَا هَذَا اللَّبَنُ وَلَا حَلُوبَةٌ فِي الْبَيْتِ وَالْغَنَمُ عَازِبَةٌ؟ فَقَالَتْ لَا وَاللهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ مَرَّ بِنَا رَجُلٌ ظَاهِرُ الْوَضَاءَةِ مَلِيحُ الْوَجْهِ فِي أَشْفَارِهِ وَطَفٌ وَفِي عَيْنَيْهِ دَعَجٌ وَفِي صَوْتَهِ صَحَلٌ غُصْنٌ بَيْنَ غُصْنَيْنِ لَا تَشْنَؤُهُ مِنْ طُولٍ وَلَا تَقْتَحِمُهُ مِنْ قِصَرٍ لَمْ تَعْلُوهُ ثُجْلَةٌ وَلَمْ تَزْرِ بِهِ صَعْلَةٌ كَأَنَّ عُنُقَهُ إِبْرِيقُ فِضَّةٍ إِذَا نَطَقَ فَعَلَيْهِ الْبَهَاءُ وَإِذَا صَمَتَ فَعَلَيْهِ الْوَقَارُ كَلَامُهُ كَخَرَزِ النَّظْمِ أَزْيَنُ أَصْحَابِهِ مَنْظَرًا وَأَحْسَنُهُمْ وَجْهًا مَحْشُودٌ غَيْرُ مُفْنَدٍ لَهُ أَصْحَابٌ يَحُفُّونَ بِهِ إِذَا أَمَرَ تَبَادَرُوا أَمْرَهُ وَإِذَا نَهَى انْتَهَوْا عِنْدَ نَهْيِهِ قَالَ هَذِهِ صِفَةُ صَاحِبِ قُرَيْشٍ وَلَوْ رَأَيْتُهُ لَاتَّبَعْتُهُ وَلَأَجْهَدَنَّ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ وَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوا بِمَكَّةَ أَيْنَ تَوَجَّهَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى سَمِعُوا هَاتِفًا يَهْتِفُ عَلَى أَبِي قُبَيْسٍ
