Sahih Muslim Book - 45, Hadith - 6513

حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَرْحٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْوَلِيدِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً مِنَ الأَعْرَابِ لَقِيَهُ بِطَرِيقِ مَكَّةَ ، فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ عَبْدُ اللهِ ، وَحَمَلَهُ عَلَى حِمَارٍ كَانَ يَرْكَبُهُ. وَأَعْطَاهُ عِمَامَةً ، كَانَتْ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ فَقَالَ ابْنُ دِينَارٍ : فَقُلْنَا لَهُ: أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ إِنَّهُمُ الأَعْرَابُ وَإِنَّهُمْ يَرْضَوْنَ بِالْيَسِيرِ ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: إِنَّ أَبَا هَذَا كَانَ وُدًّا لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ، وَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ أَبَرَّ الْبِرِّ صِلَةُ الْوَلَدِ أَهْلَ وُدِّ أَبِيهِ.

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Dinar that a Bedouin man met 'Abdullah bin 'Umar on the road to Makkah, and 'Abdullah greeted him, mounted him on a donkey that he had been riding, and gave him a turban that was on his head. Ibn Dinar said: "We said to him: 'May Allah guide you. They are Bedouin and they are content with little.' 'Abdullah (Ibn 'Umar) said: 'The father of this man was a friend of 'Umar bin Al-Khattab, and I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) say: The best act of Birr is for a child to uphold ties with the friends of his father.'"
