3796. Ḥudhaifah bin Al-Yamān narrated that Al-'Āqib and As-Sayyid[1] came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "Send with us your trustworthy one." He said: "I shall send with you a trustworthy one who is truly a trustworthy one." So the people desired that,[2] and he sent Abū 'Ubaidah, may Allāh be pleased with him. (Sahīḥ)
