Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 8950

وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ مِنْكُمْ مَنْ يُقَاتِلُ عَلَى تَأْوِيلِ الْقُرْآنِ كَمَا قَاتَلْتُ عَلَى تَنْزِيلِهِ " . فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : أَنَا هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " لَا " . قَالَ عُمَرُ : أَنَا هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " لَا وَلَكِنَّهُ خَاصِفُ النَّعْلِ " . وَكَانَ أَعْطَى عَلِيًّا نَعْلَهُ يَخْصِفُهَا .
رَوَاهُ أَبُو يَعْلَى وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Among you is one who will fight over the interpretation of the Qur'an just as I fought over its revelation." Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah, will it be me?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah, will it be me?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No; rather, it will be the one mending the sandals." The narrator says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had given his sandals to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and he was mending them.
Abu Ya'la recorded it; its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
