عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ مُجَزِّزٍ عَلَى بَعْثٍ أَنَا فِيهِمْ حَتَّى انْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى رَأْسِ غَزَاتِنَا أَوْ كُنَّا بِبَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ أَذِنَ لِطَائِفَةٍ مِنَ الْجَيْشِ وَأَمَّرَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ حُذَافَةَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ السَّهْمِيَّ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ بَدْرٍ وَكَانَتْ فِيهِ دُعَابَةٌ يَعْنِي مِزَاحًا وَكُنْتُ مِمَّنْ رَجَعَ مَعَهُ فَنَزَلْنَا بِبَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ قَالَ وَأَوْقَدَ الْقَوْمُ نَارًا لِيَصْنَعُوا عَلَيْهَا صَنِيعًا لَهُمْ أَوْ يَصْطَلُونَ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَلَيْسَ لِي عَلَيْكُمُ السَّمْعُ وَالطَّاعَةُ قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ فَمَا أَنَا بِآمِرِكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ إِنْ صَنَعْتُمُوهُ قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ أَعْزِمُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِحَقِّي وَطَاعَتِي لَمَا تَوَاثَبْتُمْ فِي هَذِهِ النَّارِ فَقَامَ نَاسٌ فَتَحَجَّزُوا حَتَّى إِذَا ظَنَّ أَنَّهُمْ وَاثِبُونَ قَالَ احْبِسُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ فَإِنَّمَا كُنْتُ أَضْحَكُ مَعَكُمْ فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَ أَنْ قَدِمُوا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ أَمَرَكُمْ مِنْهُمْ بِمَعْصِيَةٍ فَلَا تُطِيعُوهُ
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed Sayyiduna Alqamah bin Mujazziz (may Allah be pleased with him) as the commander of a jihad expedition, and I was also in that expedition. When we reached the place of our campaign, or were on the way, this commander separated a group and appointed Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Hudhafah Sahmi (may Allah be pleased with him) as their leader. He was a Badri companion and had a humorous nature. I was also among those who returned with him. When we camped on the way and people lit a fire either to cook food or to get warmth from it, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Hudhafah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Is it not obligatory upon you people to listen to me and obey me?" They said: "Yes, of course." He said: "Then I adjure you by my right and the right of my obedience that you jump into this fire." The people stood up and tied cloth around their waists. When this commander saw that they were actually about to jump into the fire, he said: "Stop! I was joking with you." When these people returned and related this incident to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If any of these commanders orders you to disobey Allah, then do not obey him."
