I came with the delegation of Banu Amir to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We said, "You are our master."He replied, "The Master is Allah ."We said, "And the most virtuous among us, and the greatest in bounty."He said, "Say what you have to say, or part of what you have to say, but do not let Satan carry you away."
انطلقت في وفد بني عامر إلى رسول الله ﷺ، فقلنا: أنت سيدنا، فقال: السيد الله تبارك وتعالى. قلنا: وأفضلنا، فضلا، وأعظمنا طولا. فقال: قولوا بقولكم أو بعض قولكم، ولا يستجرنكم الشيطان.
Abu Dawud narrated it (4806) from Musaddad, who said, Bishr, meaning Ibn Mufaddal, narrated to us, Abu Salama, Saeed bin Yazid, narrated to us, from Abu Nadra, from Mutarrif, and he related it.Imam Ahmad narrated it (16311), and Bayhaqi in Madkhal (537), both by the route of Mahdi bin Maymun, who said, Ghaylan bin Jareer narrated to us, from Mutarrif bin Abdullah bin Shikhir, from his father, and he added, "and the white bowl." And he said at the end, "and let them not entice you away."As for his saying "the white bowl," Ibn Athir said in Nihayah, "The Arabs used to call the generous host who feeds people a jafnah, because he sets it down and feeds people from it, so he was named after it. And gharraa means white, meaning that it is filled with fat and grease."As for his saying "yastajirunnakum," with the raa doubled, it is from jarr, meaning pulling or dragging. Sindi said this, and it is sahih.
