Jami at-Tirmidhi
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا نُوحُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هَارُونَ الْعَبْدِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " يَأْتِيكُمْ رِجَالٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَشْرِقِ يَتَعَلَّمُونَ فَإِذَا جَاءُوكُمْ فَاسْتَوْصُوا بِهِمْ خَيْرًا " . قَالَ فَكَانَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ إِذَا رَآنَا قَالَ مَرْحَبًا بِوَصِيَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم . قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي هَارُونَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ .
Narrated Abu Harun [Al-'Abdi]: From Abu Sa'Eed Al-Khudri That The Prophet (ﷺ) Said: "Men Will Come To You From The Direction Of The East To Learn. So When They Come To You Then Exhort Them To Good." He Said: "When Abu Sa'Eed Saw Us He Would Say: 'Welcome With The Exhortation Of The Messenger Of Allah, May The Peace And Blessings Of Allah Be Upon Him And His Family.'"
