Musnad Ahmad 308 (Book 2, Hadith 215) #33990
Welcoming Strangers in Madinah

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a man who migrated to Madinah and was welcomed by Umar and Abu Bakr. It also mentions the Prophet's (PBUH) saying about the people of Oman, that they will not attack an envoy sent by him.

It was narrated that Abu Labeed said: A man called Bairah bin Asad went out from Tahiyah, migrating Hijrah, and he reached Madinah a few days after the Messenger of Allah died 'Umar (رضي الله عنه) saw him and realized he was a stranger, so he said to him. Who are you? Are you from Oman? He said: Yes. He took him by the hand and brought him to Abu Bakr (رضي الله عنه) and said: This man is from the land of which heard the Messenger of Allah saying: 'I know a land called Oman at the edge of the sea, in it is a tribe of the Arabs who, if my envoy goes to them, they will not shoot arrows or throw stones at him".
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، أَنْبَأَنَا الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْخِرِّيتِ، عَنْ أَبِي لَبِيدٍ، قَالَ خَرَجَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ طَاحِيَةَ مُهَاجِرًا يُقَالُ لَهُ بَيْرَحُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ فَقَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ بِأَيَّامٍ فَرَآهُ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَعَلِمَ أَنَّهُ غَرِيبٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَنْ أَنْتَ قَالَ مِنْ أَهْلِ عُمَانَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ فَأَدْخَلَهُ عَلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ هَذَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ الَّتِي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ أَرْضًا يُقَالُ لَهَا عُمَانُ يَنْضَحُ بِنَاحِيَتِهَا الْبَحْرُ بِهَا حَيٌّ مِنْ الْعَرَبِ لَوْ أَتَاهُمْ رَسُولِي مَا رَمَوْهُ بِسَهْمٍ وَلَا حَجَرٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the importance of welcoming strangers in our midst. It tells us how Umar and Abu Bakr welcomed a stranger from Oman into their city, Madinah, with open arms. This is an example for us to follow as it was something that was done during the time of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ himself. He said that if he were to send an envoy to the people of Oman, they would not attack them or throw stones at them. This shows us how important it is for us to be kind and welcoming towards those who are new in our community or city, regardless of where they come from or what their background may be. We should always strive to make everyone feel welcome and accepted no matter what their circumstances may be.
