حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ بْنِ قَعْنَبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلاَلٍ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَى ، عَنْ عَبَّاسِ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ ، قَالَ : خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَزْوَةَ تَبُوكَ فَأَتَيْنَا وَادِيَ الْقُرَى عَلَى حَدِيقَةٍ لاِمْرَأَةٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : اخْرُصُوهَا فَخَرَصْنَاهَا وَخَرَصَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَشَرَةَ أَوْسُقٍ ، وَقَالَ : أَحْصِيهَا حَتَّى نَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكِ ، إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ , وَانْطَلَقْنَا حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا تَبُوكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : سَتَهُبُّ عَلَيْكُمُ اللَّيْلَةَ رِيحٌ شَدِيدَةٌ ، فَلاَ يَقُمْ فِيهَا أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ فَمَنْ كَانَ لَهُ بَعِيرٌ فَلْيَشُدَّ عِقَالَهُ فَهَبَّتْ رِيحٌ شَدِيدَةٌ ، فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَحَمَلَتْهُ الرِّيحُ حَتَّى أَلْقَتْهُ بِجَبَلَيْ طَيِّئٍ ، وَجَاءَ رَسُولُ ابْنِ الْعَلْمَاءِ ، صَاحِبِ أَيْلَةَ ، إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِكِتَابٍ ، وَأَهْدَى لَهُ بَغْلَةً بَيْضَاءَ ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَهْدَى لَهُ بُرْدًا ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلْنَا حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا وَادِيَ الْقُرَى ، فَسَأَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَرْأَةَ عَنْ حَدِيقَتِهَا كَمْ بَلَغَ ثَمَرُهَا ؟ فَقَالَتْ عَشَرَةَ أَوْسُقٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنِّي مُسْرِعٌ فَمَنْ شَاءَ مِنْكُمْ فَلْيُسْرِعْ مَعِيَ ، وَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَمْكُثْ فَخَرَجْنَا حَتَّى أَشْرَفْنَا عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ ، فَقَالَ : هَذِهِ طَابَةُ ، وَهَذَا أُحُدٌ وَهُوَ جَبَلٌ يُحِبُّنَا وَنُحِبُّهُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : إِنَّ خَيْرَ دُورِ الأَنْصَارِ دَارُ بَنِي النَّجَّارِ ، ثُمَّ دَارُ بَنِي عَبْدِ الأَشْهَلِ ، ثُمَّ دَارُ بَنِي عَبْدِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ ، ثُمَّ دَارُ بَنِي سَاعِدَةَ ، وَفِي كُلِّ دُورِ الأَنْصَارِ خَيْرٌ فَلَحِقَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ ، فَقَالَ أَبُو أُسَيْدٍ : أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيَّرَ دُورَ الأَنْصَارِ ، فَجَعَلَنَا آخِرًا فَأَدْرَكَ سَعْدٌ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، خَيَّرْتَ دُورَ الأَنْصَارِ ، فَجَعَلْتَنَا آخِرًا ، فَقَالَ : أَوَلَيْسَ بِحَسْبِكُمْ أَنْ تَكُونُوا مِنَ الْخِيَارِ.

It was narrated that Abu Humaid said: “We went out with Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) on the campaign of Tabuk, and we came to the valley of Al-Qura, where there was a garden belonging to a woman. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: ‘Estimate the amount of its produce.’ So we estimated it, and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) estimated it at ten Wasq. He said: ‘Remember this number until we come back, if Allah wills.’ So we set off, until we came to Tabuk. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: ‘There will be a strong wind tonight, so none of you should stand up in it and whoever has a camel, let him hobble it tightly.’ “The strong wind came, and one man stood up; the wind carried him and threw him down in the mountains of Tayy’. The envoy of Ibn Al-‘Alma’, the ruler of Aylah, brought a letter to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and gave him a gift of a white mule. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) wrote back to him and sent him a gift of a cloak. Then we came back to the valley of Al-Qura, and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) asked that woman its produce?’ She said: ‘Ten Wasq.’ The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: ‘I am hastening back; whoever among you wishes may leave with me, and whoever wishes may stay.’ We set out and when we were approaching Al-Madinah he said: ‘This is is Tabah and this is Uhad –it is a mountain that loves us and we love it.’ Then he said: ‘The best houses of the Ansar are the house of Banu ‘Abdul-Ash-hal, then the house of Banu ‘Abdul-Harith bin Al-Khazraj, then the house is goodness in all the houses of the Ansar.’ Sa’d bin ‘Ubadah came to us and Abu Usaid said: ‘Did you not see how the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) mentioned the best of the houses of the Ansar, and mentioned us last?’ Sa’d went to the Messenger of Allah, you mentioned the best of the houses of the Ansar and mentioned us last.’ He said: “Is it not sufficient for you that you are among the best?”’
