اخبرني ابو عبد الله الحسين بن الحسن بن ايوب، حدثنا ابو حاتم الرازي، حدثنا إبراهيم بن موسى، حدثنا محمد بن انس، حدثنا الاعمش، عن الحكم، عن مقسم: ان ابا ايوب اتى معاوية، فذكر له حاجة، قال: الست صاحب عثمان؟ قال: اما إن رسول الله ﷺ قد خبرنا انه سيصيبنا بعده اثرة، قال: وما امركم؟ قال: امرنا ان نصبر حتى نرد عليه الحوض، قال: فاصبروا، قال: فغضب ابو ايوب وحلف ان لا يكلمه ابدا. ثم إن ابا ايوب اتى عبد الله بن عباس فذكر له، فخرج له عن بيته كما خرج ابو ايوب الرسول الله ﷺ عن بيته، قال: ايش تريد؟ قال: اربعة غلمة يكونون في محلي، قال: لك عندي عشرون غلاما (1).
هذا حديث صحيح الإسناد، ولم يخرجاه.

It is narrated from Miqsam that Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) and mentioned a need of his. He said: "Are you not the companion of Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him)?" He replied: "Know that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us beforehand that after him we would face favouritism and preference of others over us (and denial of our rights)." He asked: "Then what did he (peace and blessings be upon him) command you?" He said: "He (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us to be patient until we meet him at the Pond (al-Kawthar)." Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Then be patient." At this, Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) became angry and swore that he would never speak to him again. Then Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) and told him the whole story. So Ibn Abbas vacated his house for him just as Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub had vacated his house for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He asked: "What do you want?" He said: "Four slaves to work at my place." Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "I have twenty slaves for you." This hadith has an authentic (sahih) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

Hadith-science notes and terminology
Technical note / Defect ('illah): There is no harm in its narrators, except that Miqsam (Ibn Bujrah, who is called the mawla of Ibn 'Abbas because of his constant attachment to him) did not hear from Abu Ayyub or Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with them both), so this narration of his is "mursal". This same hadith will come later from Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) by another route under number (6054).
(1) رجاله لا بأس بهم إلّا أنَّ مقسمًا - وهو ابن بُجرة ويقال له: مولى ابن عباس للزومه إياه - لم يسمع أبا أيوب ولا معاوية، فروايته للقصة مرسلة. وسيأتي الحديث من وجه آخر عن ابن عبّاس برقم (6054).
Important point: Identification of the narrators: Abu Hatim al-Razi is al-Hafiz Muhammad bin Idris, Ibrahim bin Musa is Ibn Yazid al-Razi, al-A'mash is Sulayman bin Mihran, and al-Hakam is Ibn 'Utaybah.
أبو حاتم الرازي: هو محمد بن إدريس الحافظ، وإبراهيم بن موسى: هو ابن يزيد الرازي، والأعمش: هو سليمان بن مهران، والحكم هو ابن عتيبة.
Note / Clarification: See the narration after it and hadith number (6063) further on.
وانظر ما بعده، وما سيأتي برقم (6063).
Reference / Source: On the topic that "after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) we would face selfishness (others being preferred over us), and we were commanded to be patient until we meet him at the Pond", there is the narration of Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) in Ahmad (19/ 12085), al-Bukhari (2376) and Muslim (1059), whose marfu' wording is: "You will see after me others being preferred over you, so be patient until you meet me"; meaning the Ansar.
وفي باب قوله: إنه سيصيبنا بعده أثرة، وأمرنا أن نصبر حتَّى نرد عليه الحوض، عن أنس بن مالك عند أحمد 19/ (12085)، والبخاري (2376)، ومسلم (1059)، مرفوعًا بلفظ: "سترون بعدي أَثرة، فاصبروا حتَّى تلقَوني"؛ يعني الأنصار.
Reference / Source: The same meaning is also in the narration of Usayd bin Hudayr (may Allah be pleased with him), which is mentioned in Ahmad (31/ 19092), al-Bukhari (3792) and Muslim (1845).
وعن أُسيد بن حضير عند أحمد 31/ (19092)، والبخاري (3792)، ومسلم (1845).
