Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 10401

وَعَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ :
كَانَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَغْزُو مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَإِذَا رَجَعَ وَحَطَّ عَنْ رَاحِلَتِهِ عَمَدَ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ الرَّسُولِ ، فَجَعَلَ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ ، فَيُطِيلُ الصَّلَاةَ حَتَّى جَعَلَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَرَوْنَ أَنَّ لَهُ فَضْلًا عَلَيْهِمْ . فَمَرَّ يَوْمًا وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَاعِدٌ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، هُوَ ذَاكَ الرَّجُلُ ، فَإِمَّا أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَإِمَّا جَاءَ مِنْ قِبَلِ نَفْسِهِ ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مُقْبِلًا ، قَالَ : " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، إِنَّ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ سَفْعَةً مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ " . فَلَمَّا وَقَفَ عَلَى الْمَجْلِسِ ، قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " أَقُلْتَ فِي نَفْسِكَ حِينَ وَقَفْتَ عَلَى الْمَجْلِسِ : لَيْسَ فِي الْقَوْمِ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي ؟ " . قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَأَتَى نَاحِيَةً مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ فَخَطَّ خَطًّا بِرِجْلِهِ ، ثُمَّ صَفَّ كَعْبَيْهِ فَقَامَ يُصَلِّي ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " أَيُّكُمْ يَقُومُ إِلَى هَذَا فَيَقْتُلُهُ ؟ " . فَقَامَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " أَقَتَلْتَ الرَّجُلَ ؟ " فَقَالَ : وَجَدْتُهُ يُصَلِّي فَهِبْتُهُ .
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " أَيُّكُمْ يَقُومُ إِلَى هَذَا فَيَقْتُلُهُ ؟ " فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : أَنَا ، وَأَخَذَ السَّيْفَ فَوَجَدَهُ يُصَلِّي فَرَجَعَ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - لِعُمَرَ : " أَقَتَلْتَ الرَّجُلَ ؟ " . فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَجَدْتُهُ يُصَلِّي فَهِبْتُهُ .
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : أَيُّكُمْ يَقُومُ إِلَى هَذَا فَيَقْتُلُهُ ؟ " . قَالَ عَلِيٌّ : أَنَا ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " أَنْتَ لَهُ إِنْ أَدْرَكْتَهُ " . فَذَهَبَ عَلِيٌّ فَلَمْ يَجِدْهُ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " أَقَتَلْتَ الرَّجُلَ ؟ " . قَالَ : لَمْ أَدْرِ أَيْنَ سَلَكَ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ .
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " إِنَّ هَذَا أَوَّلُ قَرْنٍ خَرَجَ فِي أُمَّتِي " .
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " لَوْ قَتَلْتَهُ - أَوْ قَتَلَهُ - مَا اخْتَلَفَ فِي أُمَّتِي اثْنَانِ ، إِنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ تَفَرَّقُوا عَلَى إِحْدَى وَسَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً ، وَإِنَّ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ - يَعْنِي أُمَّتَهُ - سَتَفْتَرِقُ عَلَى ثِنْتَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً ، كُلُّهَا فِي النَّارِ إِلَّا فِرْقَةً وَاحِدَةً " . قُلْنَا : يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ، مَنْ تِلْكَ الْفِرْقَةُ ؟ قَالَ : " الْجَمَاعَةُ " .
قَالَ يَزِيدُ الرَّقَاشِيُّ : فَقُلْتُ لِأَنَسٍ : يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ ، فَأَيْنَ الْجَمَاعَةُ ؟ قَالَ : مَعَ أُمَرَائِكُمْ مَعَ أُمَرَائِكُمْ .
رَوَاهُ أَبُو يَعْلَى . وَيَزِيدُ الرِّقَاشِيُّ ضَعَّفَهُ الْجُمْهُورُ ، وَفِيهِ تَوْثِيقٌ لَيِّنٌ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
وَقَدْ صَحَّ قَبْلَهُ حَدِيثُ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ ، وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ .
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: In the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) there was a man who took part in a campaign with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When they returned, that man got down from his mount, went to the Prophet's Mosque and began to pray in it. He prolonged his prayer, until the Companions began to think that this man had superiority over everyone. One day the man passed by while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting among his Companions. One of his Companions said to him: "O Messenger of Allah, this is that man." Then either the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent for him, or the man came that way of his own accord. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw him coming, he said: "By the One in whose hand is my soul, between his eyes there is a mark (or stamp) of Satan." When the man came and stopped by the gathering, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "When you came and stopped by this gathering, did you think to yourself that there is no one among these people better than you?" He replied: "Yes." Then the man went away. He came to a corner of the mosque, drew a line with his foot, set his heels in line, and stood up to pray. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Which of you will get up, go to him and kill him?" Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up. (When he returned,) the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Did you kill the man?" He said: "I found him praying, so I was in awe of him." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Which of you will get up, go to him and kill him?" Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I will." He took the sword, found the man praying, and he too came back. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): "Did you kill the man?" He said: "O Messenger of Allah, I found him praying, so I was in awe of him." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Which of you will get up, go to this man and kill him?" Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I will." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You will do it, if you find him." When Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) went, he did not find the man. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Did you kill the man?" He said: "I do not know where in the land he went." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is the first faction to emerge in my Ummah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: "Had you killed him (the narrator is unsure of one word here), not even two people of my Ummah would have differed. The Children of Israel split into seventy-one sects, and this Ummah (that is, the Ummah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)) will soon split into seventy-two sects; all of them will be in Hell except one group." We said: "O Prophet of Allah, which is that one group?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Al-Jama'ah (the main body)." Yazid al-Raqashi says: I asked Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him): "O Abu Hamzah, where is al-Jama'ah?" He said: "With your rulers, with your rulers."
Abu Ya'la recorded it. The narrator Yazid al-Raqashi has been declared da'if (weak) by the majority, and there is a mild declaration of reliability for him. The rest of its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih. An authentic narration from Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) has already passed before this.
