Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya Ibn Said heard Muhammad Ibn Yahya Ibn Habban mentioning that a certain man passed Abu Dharr at AlRabadha which was about 30 miles from Madina and Abu Dharr asked him; Where are you heading to? and he replied; I am intending to do hajj. Abu Dharr questioned; Has anything else brought you out? and he said; No; so Abu Dharr said Resume what you are doing wholeheartedly. The man related; I went on till I came to Makka and I stayed as long as Allah willed. Suddenly; one time; I was with a crowd of people thronging about a man and I pushed through the people to him and it was the old man that I had come across at AlRabadha. When he saw me; he recognized me and said; Ah; you have done what I told you.
