حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بَرَّادٍ الأَشْعَرِيُّ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ ، قَالاَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، حَدَّثَنِي بُرَيْدٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ، قَالَ : بَلَغَنَا مَخْرَجُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَنَحْنُ بِالْيَمَنِ ، فَخَرَجْنَا مُهَاجِرِينَ إِلَيْهِ ، أَنَا وَأَخَوَانِ لِي ، أَنَا أَصْغَرُهُمَا ، أَحَدُهُمَا أَبُو بُرْدَةَ وَالآخَرُ أَبُو رُهْمٍ ، إِمَّا قَالَ بِضْعًا وَإِمَّا قَالَ : ثَلاَثَةً وَخَمْسِينَ أَوِ اثْنَيْنِ وَخَمْسِينَ رَجُلاً مِنْ قَوْمِي ، قَالَ فَرَكِبْنَا سَفِينَةً ، فَأَلْقَتْنَا سَفِينَتُنَا إِلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ بِالْحَبَشَةِ ، فَوَافَقْنَا جَعْفَرَ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَأَصْحَابَهُ عِنْدَهُ ، فَقَالَ جَعْفَرٌ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَنَا هَاهُنَا ، وَأَمَرَنَا بِالإِقَامَةِ فَأَقِيمُوا مَعَنَا ، فَأَقَمْنَا مَعَهُ حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا جَمِيعًا ، قَالَ : فَوَافَقْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ افْتَتَحَ خَيْبَرَ ، فَأَسْهَمَ لَنَا ، أَوْ قَالَ أَعْطَانَا مِنْهَا ، وَمَا قَسَمَ لأَحَدٍ غَابَ عَنْ فَتْحِ خَيْبَرَ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا ، إِلاَّ لِمَنْ شَهِدَ مَعَهُ ، إِلاَّ لأَصْحَابِ سَفِينَتِنَا مَعَ جَعْفَرٍ وَأَصْحَابِهِ ، قَسَمَ لَهُمْ مَعَهُمْ ، قَالَ فَكَانَ نَاسٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ يَقُولُونَ لَنَا ، يَعْنِي لأَهْلِ السَّفِينَةِ: نَحْنُ سَبَقْنَاكُمْ بِالْهِجْرَةِ.

It was narrated that Abu Musa said: "We heard about the migration of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) when we were in Yemen, so we set out to migrate to him, my two brothers and I. I was the youngest of them; one of them was Abu Burdah and the other was Abu Ruhm, and fifty-odd or fifty-three of my people. We embarked on a ship and our ship took us to the Negus in Abyssinia. We met Ja'far bin Abi Talib and his companions there, and Ja'far said: 'The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) sent us here, and told us to stay here, so stay with us.' We stayed with him, until we came all together. And we met the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) when he conquered Khaibar, and he gave us a share (of the spoils of war) or he gave us some of it. He did not give anything to anyone who had not been present at the conquest of Khaibar, except those who were present with him, and those who had been on our ship along with Ja'far and his companions. He gave them a share too. Some of the people said to us - meaning the people of the ship - 'We migrated before you."'
