مُسْنَدُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ خَادِمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
Three-Narrator Ahadith 207
Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Abū Mūsā [al-Ashʿarī] asked the Prophet ﷺ to provide him [and others] with riding mounts, but caught him at a time when he was occupied with something else. He said, “By Allah, I will not give you any mounts.” When [Abū Mūsā] turned to leave, the Prophet ﷺ called him and provided him with mounts. Abū Mūsā said, “Messenger of Allah, you swore that you would not give us any mounts.” He said, “And I now swear that I will give you mounts.” And he gave them mounts. Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 207
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا مُوسَى اسْتَحْمَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَوَافَقَ مِنْهُ شُغْلًا، فَقَالَ: «وَاللَّهِ لَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ». فَلَمَّا قَفَّى دَعَاهُ، فَقَالَ: حَلَفْتَ لَا تَحْمِلُنَا. قَالَ: «وَأَنَا أَحْلِفُ لَأَحْمِلَنَّكُمْ». فَحَمَلَهُمْ.
