‏ إِنَّ النَّاسَ لَكُمْ تَبَعٌ وَإِنَّ رِجَالاً يَأْتُونَكُمْ مِنْ أَقْطَارِ الأَرَضِينَ يَتَفَقَّهُونَ فِي الدِّينِ فَإِذَا أَتَوْكُمْ فَاسْتَوْصُوا بِهِمْ خَيْرًا ‏

‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى قَالَ عَلِيٌّ قَالَ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ كَانَ شُعْبَةُ يُضَعِّفُ أَبَا هَارُونَ الْعَبْدِيَّ ‏.‏ قَالَ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ مَا زَالَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ يَرْوِي عَنْ أَبِي هَارُونَ الْعَبْدِيِّ حَتَّى مَاتَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَأَبُو هَارُونَ اسْمُهُ عُمَارَةُ بْنُ جُوَيْنٍ ‏.‏

Narrated Abu Harun [Al-'Abdi]:

"We went to Abu Sa'eed and he said: 'Welcome with the exhortation of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).

So when they come to you exhort them with good."
