1138 - نا إسماعيل بن يعقوب، نا إسماعيل بن إسحاق، نا مسدد، نا يزيد بن زريع، نا خالد الحذاء، عن حميد بن هلال، عن الذي، سال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم او عمن سمعه منه قال: اتيت نبي الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو يخطب فقلت: علمني مما علمك الله، فنزل والقي له كرسي قوائمه حديد فقال: «إنك لا تدع شيئا اتقاء الله إلا بدلك الله مكانه خيرا منه» قال رفاعة العدوي: «انتهيت إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو يخطب فقلت يا رسول الله، رجل غريب جاء يسال عن دينه لا يدري ما دينه، قال فجاء رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وترك خطبته فاتي بكرسي خلت قوائمه حديدا، قال فقعد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فجعل يعلمني مما علمه الله، ثم اتى على خطبته فاتى عليها»
Humaid bin Hilal narrates from the person who either asked the Prophet (peace be upon him) or heard from him. He said: I presented myself before the Prophet (peace be upon him) while he was delivering a sermon. I said: Teach me from the knowledge that Allah has granted you. The Prophet (peace be upon him) descended (from the pulpit), and a chair made of palm bark with iron legs was placed for him. Then he said: "Indeed, whatever you leave for the sake of Allah out of fear of Him, Allah will grant you something better in its place." Rifaa’ah ‘Adawi (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I presented myself before the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) while he was delivering a sermon. I said: O Messenger of Allah! I am a stranger, I have come to ask you about the religion, I do not have knowledge about the religion. He says that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) descended (from the pulpit), interrupted his sermon, then a chair made of palm bark with iron legs was brought, and he began to teach me what Allah Almighty had taught him. Then he (again) ascended the pulpit for his sermon.
