Narrated Abu Musa: We got the news of the migration of the Prophet while we were in Yemen, so we set out migrating to him. We were, I and my two brothers, I being the youngest, and one of my brothers was Abu Burda and the other was Abu Ruhm. We were over fifty (or fifty-three or fifty two) men from our people. We got on board a ship which took us to An-Najashi in Ethiopia, and there we found Ja`far bin Abu Talib and his companions with An-Najaishi. Ja`far said (to us), “Allah’s Apostle has sent us here and ordered us to stay here, so you too, stay with us.” We stayed with him till we all left (Ethiopia) and met the Prophet at the time when he had conquered Khaibar. He gave us a share from its booty (or gave us from its booty). He gave only to those who had taken part in the Ghazwa with him. but he did not give any share to any person who had not participated in Khaibar’s conquest except the people of our ship, besides Ja`far and his companions, whom he gave a share as he did them (i.e. the people of the ship).
Hadith In Arabic Text :
حدثنا محمد بن العلاء، حدثنا أبو أسامة، حدثنا بريد بن عبد الله، عن أبي بردة، عن أبي موسى رضى الله عنه قال بلغنا مخرج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ونحن باليمن فخرجنا مهاجرين إليه، أنا وأخوان لي، أنا أصغرهم، أحدهما أبو بردة والآخر أبو رهم، إما قال في بضع، وإما قال في ثلاثة وخمسين أو اثنين وخمسين رجلا من قومي فركبنا سفينة، فألقتنا سفينتنا إلى النجاشي بالحبشة، ووافقنا جعفر بن أبي طالب وأصحابه عنده فقال جعفر إن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بعثنا ها هنا، وأمرنا بالإقامة فأقيموا معنا. فأقمنا معه، حتى قدمنا جميعا، فوافقنا النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم حين افتتح خيبر، فأسهم لنا. أو قال فأعطانا منها. وما قسم لأحد غاب عن فتح خيبر منها شيئا، إلا لمن شهد معه، إلا أصحاب سفينتنا مع جعفر وأصحابه، قسم لهم معهم.
