أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَفْلَحُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بُرَيْدَةُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ فَرْوَةَ الأَسْلَمِيُّ، عَنْ غُلاَمٍ، لِجَدِّهِ يُقَالُ لَهُ مَسْعُودٌ فَقَالَ مَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ لِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَا مَسْعُودُ ائْتِ أَبَا تَمِيمٍ - يَعْنِي مَوْلاَهُ - فَقُلْ لَهُ يَحْمِلْنَا عَلَى بَعِيرٍ وَيَبْعَثْ إِلَيْنَا بِزَادٍ وَدَلِيلٍ يَدُلُّنَا . فَجِئْتُ إِلَى مَوْلاَىَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَبَعَثَ مَعِي بِبَعِيرٍ وَوَطْبٍ مِنْ لَبَنٍ فَجَعَلْتُ آخُذُ بِهِمْ فِي إِخْفَاءِ الطَّرِيقِ وَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُصَلِّي وَقَامَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَقَدْ عَرَفْتُ الإِسْلاَمَ وَأَنَا مَعَهُمَا فَجِئْتُ فَقُمْتُ خَلْفَهُمَا فَدَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي صَدْرِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَقُمْنَا خَلْفَهُ . قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بُرَيْدَةُ هَذَا لَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ فِي الْحَدِيثِ .
Abdah ibn Abdullah narrated to us: Zayd ibn Al-Hubab narrated to us: Aflah ibn Sa‘id narrated to us: Buraydah ibn Sufyan ibn Farwah Al-Aslami narrated to us from a young man who belonged to his grandfather, named Masud. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr passed by me. Abu Bakr said, 'Masud, go to Abu Tamim'—meaning his former master—'and tell him to provide us with a camel to ride, and to send us provisions and a guide to show us the way.' I went to my master and told him. He sent a camel and a leather vessel of milk with me. I began taking them along a hidden route. When prayer time came, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood to pray, and Abu Bakr stood to his right. I had learned about Islam and was with them, so I came and stood behind them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ pushed Abu Bakr in the chest, and we stood behind him. Abu Abd Ar-Rahman (An-Nasa'i) said: Buraydah is not strong in hadith.
