Musnad Ahmad 254 (Book 2, Hadith 168) #33943
Following the Sunnah of the Prophet

SUMMARY: A man who was a Christian before converting to Islam decided to perform Hajj and 'Umrah. He was discouraged by two people, but 'Umar reassured him that he was following the Sunnah of the Prophet.

As-Subayy bin Ma'bad was a man from (the tribe of) Banu Taghlib, He said: I was a Christian, then I became Muslim. I thought long and hard, and decided to enter ihram for Hajj and 'Umrah. I passed by Salman bin Rabee'ah and Zaid bin Soohan in al-'Udhaib, and one of them said: Are you doing both of them? His companion said to him. Let him be; he is more misguided than his came! He as-Subayy said: It was as if my camel was on my shoulders ie, because he was so upset by their words. I went to 'Umar and told him about that'.Umar said to me: They did not say anything (that matters); you have been guided to the Sunnah of your Prophet .
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، حَدَّثَنَا شَقِيقٌ، حَدَّثَنِي الصُّبَيُّ بْنُ مَعْبَدٍ، وَكَانَ، رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي تَغْلِبَ قَالَ كُنْتُ نَصْرَانِيًّا فَأَسْلَمْتُ فَاجْتَهَدْتُ فَلَمْ آلُ فَأَهْلَلْتُ بِحَجَّةٍ وَعُمْرَةٍ فَمَرَرْتُ بِالْعُذَيْبِ عَلَى سَلْمَانَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ وَزَيْدِ بْنِ صُوحَانَ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا أَبِهِمَا جَمِيعًا فَقَالَ لَهُ صَاحِبُهُ دَعْهُ فَلَهُوَ أَضَلُّ مِنْ بَعِيرِهِ قَالَ فَكَأَنَّمَا بَعِيرِي عَلَى عُنُقِي فَأَتَيْتُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ لِي عُمَرُ إِنَّهُمَا لَمْ يَقُولَا شَيْئًا هُدِيتَ لِسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّكَ ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a man named As-Subayy bin Ma'bad who used to be a Christian before converting to Islam. He decided to enter ihram for Hajj and 'Umrah, which is an Islamic pilgrimage that Muslims are encouraged to do at least once in their lifetime if they are able. However, when he passed by two people - Salman bin Rabee'ah and Zaid bin Soohan - one of them said something discouraging about his decision. As-Subayy felt so upset that it felt like his camel was on his shoulders. He then went to 'Umar and told him what happened, and Umar reassured him that he was following the Sunnah of the Prophet by performing these pilgrimages. This hadith teaches us that we should not be discouraged from doing good deeds even if others try to discourage us from doing them; instead, we should seek guidance from those more knowledgeable than us in order for us to stay on track with our faith journey.
