Sunan Ibn Majah 201
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُغِيرَةِ الثَّقَفِيَّ - عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَعْرِضُ نَفْسَهُ عَلَى النَّاسِ فِي الْمَوْسِمِ فَيَقُولُ " أَلاَ رَجَلٌ يَحْمِلُنِي إِلَى قَوْمِهِ فَإِنَّ قُرَيْشًا قَدْ مَنَعُونِي أَنْ أُبَلِّغَ كَلاَمَ رَبِّي " .
Muhammad ibn Yahya reported to us: Abdullah ibn Raja reported to us: Israel reported to us, from Uthman—meaning Uthman ibn al-Mughirah al-Thaqafi—from Salim ibn Abi al-Jad, from Jabir ibn Abdullah, who said: During the pilgrimage season, the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) would present himself to people, saying, ‘Is there a man who will take me to his people? Quraysh have prevented me from conveying the words of my Lord.’
Translation notes
The Arabic includes the transmitter’s identification of Uthman as Ibn al-Mughirah al-Thaqafi.
