Sunan Abi Dawud 3029 (Book 20, Hadith 102) #23319
Unknown Third Instruction of the Prophet

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ gave three instructions, two of which were to expel the polytheists from Arabia and reward deputations as he did. The third instruction is unknown.

Ibn 'Abbas said that the Prophet gave three instructions saying "Expel the polytheists from Arabia, reward deputations as I did". Ibn 'Abbas said "He either did not mention the third or I have been caused to forget it. Al Humaidi said on the authority of Sufyan that Sulaiman said "I do not know whether Sa’id mentioned the third and I forgot or he himself did not mention it".
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الأَحْوَلِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَوْصَى بِثَلاَثَةٍ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ أَخْرِجُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ مِنْ جَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِ وَأَجِيزُوا الْوَفْدَ بِنَحْوٍ مِمَّا كُنْتُ أُجِيزُهُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَسَكَتَ عَنِ الثَّالِثَةِ أَوْ قَالَ فَأُنْسِيتُهَا ‏.‏ وَقَالَ الْحُمَيْدِيُّ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ لاَ أَدْرِي أَذَكَرَ سَعِيدٌ الثَّالِثَةَ فَنَسِيتُهَا أَوْ سَكَتَ عَنْهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about three instructions given by the Prophet. Two of these instructions are known; to expel polytheists from Arabia and reward deputations as he did. However, it is unclear what the third instruction was due to conflicting accounts from Ibn 'Abbas and Al Humaidi on the authority of Sufyan and Sulaiman. It is possible that either Said mentioned it but both forgot or he himself did not mention it at all. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive to remember any important information given by our elders or religious leaders so that we can act upon them in our lives accordingly.
