كتاب المناسك

Abdah bin Abu Lubabah (رضي الله تعالی عنہ) narrated, ‘I heard Abu Wa’il, Shaqiq bin Salamah, say, that they heard Subai bin Ma’bad say, ‘I was a Christian man, then I became muslim and I entered Ihram for Hajj and Umrah. Salman bin Rabi’ah and Zaid bin Suhan heard me when I was entering Ihram for them both together at Qadisiyyah. They said, ‘this man is more lost than his camel!’ It was as if they had heaped a mountain on me with their words. I went to Umar bin Khattab (رضي الله تعالى عنه) and told him about that. He turned to them and reproached them, then he turned to me and said, ‘you have been guided to the Sunnah of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), you have been guided to the Sunnah of the Prophet (ﷺ).’ In his narration Hisham said that Shaqiq said, ‘I often went, myself and Masruq, to ask him about that.’ Another chain that Shaqiq narrated that Subai bin Ma’bad said, ‘I had recently been a Christian and was new in Islam. So I was trying my best (to understand the rulings of Islam). I entered Ihram for Hajj and Umrah (together). Then he mentioned a similar report.
