Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 16572 — Sayyiduna Ali sent someone to Sayyiduna

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، ثنا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، ثنا سَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ، يَقُولُ: إِنَّ عَلِيًّا بَعَثَ إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ فَجِيءَ بِهِ فَقَالَ: مَا خَلَّفَكَ عَنْ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ؟، فَقَالَ: دَفَعَ إِلَيَّ ابْنُ عَمِّكَ، يَعْنِي رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، سَيْفًا، فَقَالَ: " قَاتِلْ بِهِ مَا قُوتِلَ بِهِ الْعَدُوُّ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ النَّاسَ يَقْتُلُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا فَاعْمَدْ بِهِ إِلَى صَخْرَةٍ فَاضْرِبْهُ بِهَا، ثُمَّ الْزَمْ بَيْتَكَ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَكَ مَنِيَّةٌ قَاضِيَةٌ أَوْ يَدٌ خَاطِئَةٌ، قَالَ: خَلُّوا عَنْهُ
Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) sent someone to Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him), and he was brought. He asked: What has held you back from this matter? He replied: Your cousin, that is, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), gave me a sword and said: "Fight with it as long as there is fighting against the enemy; but when you see the people killing one another, take it to a rock and strike it against it, then keep to your house until a decreed death comes to you or a sinning hand reaches you." Then Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Leave him alone.
