حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هَارُونَ الْعَبْدِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " سَيَأْتِيكُمْ أَقْوَامٌ يَطْلُبُونَ الْعِلْمَ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُمْ فَقُولُوا لَهُمْ مَرْحَبًا مَرْحَبًا بِوَصِيَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَاقْنُوهُمْ " . قُلْتُ لِلْحَكَمِ مَا اقْنُوهُمْ قَالَ عَلِّمُوهُمْ .

Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥārith ibn Rāshid al-Miṣrī narrated to us: al-Ḥakam ibn ʿAbdah narrated to us, from Abū Hārūn al-ʿAbdī, from Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī, from the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: “People will come to you seeking knowledge. When you see them, say to them, “Welcome, welcome, the ones entrusted to us by the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him,” and teach them.” I asked al-Ḥakam what the word meant. He said, “Instruct them.”
