حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ، حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حِسْبَةَ مُسْلِمُ بْنُ أُكَيْسٍ مَوْلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ الْجَرَّاحِ، قَالَ: ذَكَرَ مَنْ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَوَجَدَهُ يَبْكِي، فَقَالَ: مَا يُبْكِيكَ يَا أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ؟ فَقَالَ: نَبْكِي (٢) أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَكَرَ يَوْمًا مَا، يَفْتَحُ اللهُ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَيُفِيءُ عَلَيْهِمْ، حَتَّى ذَكَرَ الشَّامَ، فَقَالَ: " إِنْ يُنْسَأْ فِي أَجَلِكَ يَا أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ فَحَسْبُكَ مِنَ الخَدَمِ ثَلاثَةٌ: خَادِمٌ يَخْدُمُكَ، وَخَادِمٌ يُسَافِرُ مَعَكَ، وَخَادِمٌ يَخْدُمُ أَهْلَكَ وَيَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ. وَحَسْبُكَ مِنَ الدَّوَابِّ ثَلاثَةٌ: دَابَّةٌ لِرَحْلِكَ، وَدَابَّةٌ لِثَقَلِكَ، وَدَابَّةٌ لِغُلامِكَ " ثُمَّ هَذَا أَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى بَيْتِي قَدِ امْتَلَأَ رَقِيقًا، وَأَنْظُرُ إِلَى مِرْبَطِي قَدِ امْتَلَأَ دَوَابَّ وَخَيْلًا، فَكَيْفَ أَلْقَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، بَعْدَ هَذَا؟ وَقَدْ أوْصَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، " إِنَّ، ، أَحَبَّكُمِ إلَيَّ وَأَقْرَبَكُمْ مِنِّي مَنْ لَقِيَنِي عَلَى مِثْلِ الْحَالِ الَّتِي (١) فَارَقَنِي عَلَيْهَا " (٢)،

Abu Hisbah Muslim bin Ukyas, the freed slave of ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amir, narrated from Abu "Ubaidah bin al-Jarrah:
a man entered upon him [Abu "Ubaidah] and found him weeping. He said: Why are you weeping, O Abu "Ubaidah? He said: We are weeping because the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) mentioned one day the victories that Allah would grant to the Muslims and how much booty lie would grant them, and he even mentioned Syria. He said: “If you live long, O Abu ‘Ubaidah, three servants will be enough for you: a servant to serve you, a servant to travel with you and a servant to serve your family and take care of them. And three mounts will be sufficient for you: a mount to carry you, a mount to carry your luggage and a mount to carry your slave.” And now here I am, look at my house, it is filled with slaves, and look at my stable, it is filled with mounts and horses. How can I meet the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) after this? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) advised us: “The dearest of you to me and the closest of you to me is the one who meets me in the same state as he was when he left me.”
