حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ صُبَيِّ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ: أَنَّهُ كَانَ نَصْرَانِيًّا تَغْلِبِيًّا، فَأَسْلَمَ، فَسَأَلَ: أَيُّ الْعَمَلِ أَفْضَلُ؟ فَقِيلَ لَهُ: الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ. فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُجَاهِدَ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: أَحَجَجْتَ؟ قَالَ: لَا. فَقِيلَ لَهُ: حُجَّ وَاعْتَمِرْ، ثُمَّ جَاهِدْ. فَأَهَلَّ بِهِمَا (١) جَمِيعًا، فَوَافَقَ زَيْدَ بْنَ صُوحَانَ وَسَلْمَانَ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ، فَقَالا: هُوَ أَضَلُّ مِنْ نَاقَتِهِ - أَوْ مَا هُوَ بِأَهْدَى مِنْ جَمَلِهِ -، فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى عُمَرَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِقَوْلِهِمَا، فَقَالَ: هُدِيتَ لِسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّكَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَوْ لِسُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ (٢) .،

It was narrated from Subayy bin Ma`bad that he was a Taghlibi Christian, then he became Muslim and asked which deed is best? He was told:
Jihad for the sake of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted. He wanted to go for jihad. but he was asked: Have you done Hajj? He said. No. It was said to him: Do Hajj and `Umrah, then go for jihad. So he entered ihram for both of them together, then he met Zaid bin Soohan and Salman bin Rabee`ah who said: He is more misguided than his camel, or he is no more guided than his camel, He went to `Umar (رضي الله عنه) and told him what they had said, and he said: You have been guided to the Sunnah of your Prophet (ﷺ) , or to the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) .
