Imam Ahmad : 11787

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ لَمَّا هَاجَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَرْكَبُ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ رَدِيفُهُ وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يُعْرَفُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ لِاخْتِلَافِهِ إِلَى الشَّامِ وَكَانَ يَمُرُّ بِالْقَوْمِ فَيَقُولُونَ مَنْ هَذَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَيَقُولُ هَادٍ يَهْدِينِي فَلَمَّا دَنَوْا مِنْ الْمَدِينَةِ بَعَثَ إِلَى الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ أَسْلَمُوا مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَى أَبِي أُمَامَةَ وَأَصْحَابِهِ فَخَرَجُوا إِلَيْهِمَا فَقَالُوا ادْخُلَا آمِنَيْنِ مُطَاعَيْنِ فَدَخَلَا قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ يَوْمًا قَطُّ أَنْوَرَ وَلَا أَحْسَنَ مِنْ يَوْمِ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ الْمَدِينَةَ وَشَهِدْتُ وَفَاتَهُ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ يَوْمًا قَطُّ أَظْلَمَ وَلَا أَقْبَحَ مِنْ الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيهِ

[Yazid bin Harun] narrated to us that [Hammad bin Salamah] Narrated to us from [Tsabit Al Bunani] from [Anas] that he said: "When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) migrated to Medina, he rode with Abu Bakr following him. Abu Bakr was well known throughout the journey because he frequently visited Syria, so when he passed by a group of people, they said: "O Abu Bakr, who is this man with you?" Abu Bakr replied: "He is my guide." So when he approached Medina, he sent some believers from the Ansar to Abu Umamah and his companions, and they came out to greet him. They said: "Enter both of you in safety and you will be obeyed," so they entered." Anas said: "I have never seen a day brighter and more beautiful than the day when The Messenger of Allah peace and blessings be upon him and Abu Bakr entered the city of Medina. And when I saw the death of The Messenger of Allah, I never saw a day more gloomy and silent than the day when The Messenger of Allah peace and blessings be upon him died!
