Qutaibah narrated to us, Nuh ibn Qays narrated to us, on the authority of Abu Harun al-Abdi, on the authority of Abu Sa`id al-Khudri, on the authority of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, who said, “He will come to you.” “Men from before the East who are learning, so when they come to you, treat them well.” He said: “When Abu Sa’id saw us, he said: We welcome the will of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. He said: This is a hadith that we do not know except from the hadith of Abu Harun on the authority of Abu Sa’id al-Khudri.
