2716 – Ahmad ibn ʿUbayd related to us; he said: ʿAli ibn ʿAbd Allah ibn Mubashshir related to us; he said: Ahmad ibn Sinan narrated to us; he said: Yazid ibn Harun narrated to us; he said: Hammad narrated, from Thabit, from Anas: When the people of Yemen came to the Messenger of Allah—peace and blessings be upon him—they asked him to send with them someone who would teach them. He therefore sent with them Abu ʿUbaydah ibn al-Jarrah and said, “This is the trustworthy one of this ummah.” Muslim also recorded it through the narration of Hammad.
