Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Ahmad ibn Abdah narrated to us: Hammad ibn Zayd narrated to us, from Mujalid, from al-Shabi, from Qarazah ibn Kab, who said: Umar ibn al-Khattab sent us to Kufah and accompanied us, walking with us to a place called Sirar. He said: Do you know why I walked with you? We said: Because of the right of companionship with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the right of the Ansar. He said: Rather, I walked with you because of a report I wanted to tell you, and I wanted you to memorize it in return for my walking with you. You are going to a people whose hearts contain a rumbling for the Quran like the rumbling of a cauldron. When they see you, they will stretch their necks toward you and say: The Companions of Muhammad! So relate fewer reports from the Messenger of Allah, and then I will be your partner.
