Jami at-Tirmidhi
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، فِي قَوْلِهِِ : (أطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَأُولِي الأَمْرِ مِنْكُمْ ) قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ حُذَافَةَ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ السَّهْمِيُّ بَعَثَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى سَرِيَّةٍ . أَخْبَرَنِيهِ يَعْلَى بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ .
Narrated Al-Hajjaj bin Muhammad: That Ibn Juraij Commented On Allah'S Saying: Obey Allah And Obey The Messenger, And Those In Authority Among You. He Said: "Abdullah Bin Hudhafah Bin Qais Bin 'Adi As-Sahmi Was Sent By The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) Over A Military Expedition. I Was Informed Of That By Ya'La Bin Muslim, From Sa'Eed Bin Jubair, From Ibn 'Abbas. [Abu 'Eisa Said:] This Hadith Is Hasan Sahih Gharib. We Do Not Know If It Except As A Narration Of Ibn Juraij.
