Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was attending a funeral. He said: "Which of you will go to Madinah and break every idol there, level every grave, and deface every image?" A man said: "O Messenger of Allah, I will." The narrator says: But he became afraid of the people of Madinah and came back. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah, I will go." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go." So Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) went. When he came back, he said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have broken every idol there, levelled every grave and defaced every image." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever goes back to making any of these things has disbelieved in what was revealed to Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not be arrogant, nor one who puts people to trial, nor a trader, except a trader in good, for those are the ones who keep postponing deeds (saying: I will soon do it)."
