Hadith 2627

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ ، عَنْ بِشْرِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ مَالِكٍ مِنْ رَهْطِهِ ، قَالَ : بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَرِيَّةً فَسَلَحْتُ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ سَيْفًا ، فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ قَالَ : لَوْ رَأَيْتَ مَا لَامَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " أَعَجَزْتُمْ إِذْ بَعَثْتُ رَجُلًا مِنْكُمْ ، فَلَمْ يَمْضِ لِأَمْرِي أَنْ تَجْعَلُوا مَكَانَهُ مَنْ يَمْضِي لِأَمْرِي " .
Narrated Uqbah ibn Malik: The Prophet ﷺ sent a detachment. I gave a sword to a man from among them. When he came back, he said: Would that you saw us how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ rebuked us, saying: When I sent out a man who does not fulfil my command, are you unable to appoint in his place one who will fulfil my command.
