English translation

[6494] 227 - (...) It was narrated that Abū Dharr said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘You will conquer Egypt, and it is a land in which the currency is the Qirāt. When you conquer it, treat its people kindly, for they have protection ((Dhimmah) and kinship. But if you see two men fighting over a space the size of a brick, then leave.’” He said: “I saw ‘Abdur-Rahmân bin Shuraḥbîl bin Ḥasanah and his brother Rabî‘ah, fighting over a space the size of a brick, so I left.”

227 - (2543) حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَعُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، سَمِعْتُ حَرْمَلَةَ الْمِصْرِيَّ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ شِمَاسَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَصْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّكُمْ سَتَفْتَحُونَ مِصْرَ وَهِيَ أَرْضٌ يُسَمَّى فِيهَا الْقِيرَاطُ، فَإِذَا فَتَحْتُمُوهَا فَأَحْسِنُوا إِلَى أَهْلِهَا، فَإِنَّ لَهُمْ ذِمَّةً وَرَحِمًا» أَوْ قَالَ «ذِمَّةً وَصِهْرًا، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ رَجُلَيْنِ يَخْتَصِمَانِ فِيهَا فِي مَوْضِعِ لَبِنَةٍ، فَاخْرُجْ مِنْهَا» قَالَ: فَرَأَيْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ شُرَحْبِيلَ بْنِ حَسَنَةَ، وَأَخَاهُ رَبِيعَةَ يَخْتَصِمَانِ فِي مَوْضِعِ لَبِنَةٍ فَخَرَجْتُ مِنْهَا
