Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 10490

عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ مُرَّةَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ عِنْدَ زِيَادٍ ، فَأَتَى رَجُلٌ فَشَهِدَ فَغَيَّرَ شَهَادَتَهُ ، فَقَالَ : لَأَقْطَعَنَّ لِسَانَكَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ يَعْلَى : أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكَ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ، صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ :
" قَالَ اللَّهُ : لَا تُمَثِّلُوا بِعِبَادِي " .
قَالَ : فَتَرَكَهُ .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لَهُ عِنْدَ الطَّبَرَانِيِّ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : " لَا تُمَثِّلُوا بِعِبَادِ اللَّهِ " .
وَفِي إِسْنَادِهِمَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ وَقَدِ اخْتَلَطَ .
It is reported about Sayyiduna Ya'la bin Murrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he was with Ziyad when a man came and gave testimony, then changed his testimony. Ziyad said: "I will certainly have your tongue cut off." Sayyiduna Ya'la (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "Shall I not tell you a hadith that I heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Allah Almighty says: 'Do not mutilate My servants.'" The narrator says: So Ziyad let him go.
Ahmad recorded it. In a report of this Companion recorded by al-Tabarani, he says: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Do not mutilate the servants of Allah." The chains of both reports contain Ata' bin al-Sa'ib, who had become confused (ikhtilat).
