عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْهُذَلِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي جَنَازَةٍ، فَقَالَ: ((أَيُّكُمْ يَنْطَلِقُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، فَلَا يَدَعُ بِهَا وَثَنًا إِلَّا كَسَرَهُ وَلَا قَبْرًا إِلَّا سَوَّاهُ وَلَا صُورَةً إِلَّا لَطَخَهَا؟))، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! فَانْطَلَقَ فَحَابَ أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَرَجَعَ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ: أَنَا أَنْطَلِقُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقَ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! لَمْ أَدَعْ بِهَا وَثَنًا إِلَّا كَسَرْتُهُ وَلَا قَبْرًا إِلَّا سَوَّيْتُهُ، وَلَا صُورَةً إِلَّا لَطَخْتُهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((مَنْ عَادَ لِصَنْعَةِ شَيْءٍ مِنْ هَذَا فَقَدْ كَفَرَ بِمَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ))، ثُمَّ قَالَ: ((لَا تَكُونَنَّ فَتَّانًا وَلَا مُخْتَالًا وَلَا تَاجِرًا إِلَّا تَاجِرَ خَيْرٍ، فَإِنَّ أُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْمَسْبُوقُونَ بِالْعَمَلِ))
Abu Muhammad Huzali narrates from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was attending a funeral. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Who among you will go to Madinah and break every idol there, level every grave, and deface every picture? A man said: O Messenger of Allah! I will do this task. Then he went, but returned out of fear of the people of Madinah. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! I will go for this task. Then he went and, upon returning, said: O Messenger of Allah! I have broken every idol, leveled every grave, and defaced every picture. After this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever does such a thing again has denied the religion that was revealed to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not become troublemakers or arrogant, nor become traders, except if you are traders of goodness, because these people will lag behind in good deeds.
