When I drew near to Madinah, I made my camel kneel, then I opened my travel bag, put on my fine garment, and entered. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was delivering a sermon, and the people fixed their eyes upon me.I said to the man sitting next to me, "Abdullah, did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mention me?"He replied, "Yes, he mentioned you just now in the best of terms."While he was delivering his sermon, he had paused to mention this, saying, "There shall enter upon you through this door, or through this mountain pass, one of the best men of Yemen. Indeed, upon his face is the mark of an angel."Jareer said, "So I praised Allah for what He had bestowed upon me."
لما دنوت من المدينة أنخت راحلتي، ثم حللت عيبتي، ثم لبست حلتي، ثم دخلت، فإذا رسول الله ﷺ يخطب، فرماني الناس بالحدق، فقلت لجليسي: يا عبد الله ذكرني رسول الله ﷺ؟ قال: نعم، ذكرك آنفا بأحسن ذكر، فبينما هو يخطب إذ عرض له في خطبته، وقال: يدخل عليكم من هذا الباب- أو من هذا الفج- من خير ذي يمن، ألا إن على وجهه مسحة ملك قال جرير: فحمدت الله عز وجل على ما أبلاني.
