Abu Harun al-‘Abdi reported from Abu Sa‘id al-Khudri that the Prophet said: ‘Men will come to you from the East to learn. When they come, treat them well as I have instructed.’ Abu Sa‘id would say whenever he saw us: ‘Welcome, those entrusted to us by the Messenger of Allah.’ Abu ‘Isa said: ‘We know this hadith only through the narration of Abu Harun from Abu Sa‘id al-Khudri.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
This is a related wording to the preceding report, now specifying that the learners come from the East; the source says this route is known only through Abu Harun from Abu Sa‘id.
