Sahih Muslim, 2419 b
sahih

Anas reported that the people of Yemen came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said:

Send with us a person who should teach us Sunnah and al-Islam, whereupon he (the Prophet) caught hold of the hand of Ubaida and said: He is a man of trust of this Umma.

حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ سَلَمَةَ - عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْيَمَنِ، قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالُوا ابْعَثْ مَعَنَا رَجُلاً يُعَلِّمْنَا السُّنَّةَ وَالإِسْلاَمَ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ فَقَالَ ‏

‏ هَذَا أَمِينُ هَذِهِ الأُمَّةِ ‏

‏ ‏.‏
