5233. It was narrated from Hammad: "Ya'lā bin 'Aṭā' informed us from Abū Hammām 'Abdullāh bin Yasār, that Abū 'Abdur-Raḥmān Al-Fihrī said: "I was present at Hunain with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and we were traveling on a hot day, when the heat was extreme. We stopped beneath a tree, and when the sun passed the meridian, I put on my coat of mail, and rode my horse, and came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ who was in his tent. I said: 'Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allāh, and the mercy of Allāh and His blessings. The time of departure has come.' He said: 'Yes.' Then he said: 'O Bilāl, get up.' He jumped up from beneath a gum-acacia tree, the shade of which was like the shade of a bird (very small), and said: 'Here I am, at your service, may I be your ransom.' He said: 'Saddle the horse for me.' He brought out a saddle, the sides of which were stuffed with palm fibres, which showed no pride or arrogance. He rode, and we rode..." and he quoted the Hadīth. Abū Dāwūd said: There are no Aḥādīth for Abū 'Abdur-Raḥmān Al-Fīhrī except this Hadīth. And it is a noble Hadīth which Ḥammad bin Salamah narrated.
