حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيُّ عَن أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي مُوسَى عَن أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَبْشِرُوا وَبَشِّرُوا النَّاسَ مَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ صَادِقًا بِهَا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ فَخَرَجُوا ي
ُبَشِّرُونَ النَّاسَ فَلَقِيَهُمْ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ فَبَشَّرُوهُ فَرَدَّهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ رَدَّكُمْ قَالُوا عُمَرُ قَالَ لِمَ رَدَدْتَهُمْ يَا عُمَرُ قَالَ إِذَنْ يَتَّكِلَ النَّاسُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ

Bahz narrated to us, Ḥammād — meaning Ibn Salamah — narrated to us, Abū ʿImrān al-Jawnī narrated to us, from Abū Bakr ibn Abī Mūsā, from his father, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Rejoice and give the people glad tidings: whoever says Lā ilāha illā Allāh, sincerely from his heart, shall enter Paradise.' So they went out giving the people glad tidings. ʿUmar رضي الله تعالى عنه met them and they gave him the glad tidings, but he sent them back. the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Who sent you back?' They said: 'ʿUmar.' He said: 'Why did you send them back, O ʿUmar?' He said: 'Then the people will rely on it, O Messenger of Allah.'
