Mukhtasar Bukhari

Narrated Al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sent us with Khalid bin Al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) towards Yemen. Then, in his place, he sent Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "Tell those who went with Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) that whoever among them wishes to go with you (Ali), let him go to Yemen (and participate in Jihad), and whoever wishes to return to Madinah, let him return." I was among those who went with Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) towards Yemen. Then, from the spoils of war, I received many uqiyah as my share.

Sayyiduna Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) to Sayyiduna Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) to collect the khums, and I thought badly of him (because he had relations with a slave woman and) he performed ghusl there. I said to Sayyiduna Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him), "Do you not see him?" When we came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), I narrated this incident to him, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Buraidah! Do you harbor enmity against Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)?" I said, "Yes." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not harbor enmity against him, for his share in the khums is even greater than this. (Then he became beloved to me)."

`Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that` Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) sent to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) a piece of gold from Yemen, wrapped in tanned leather, and the gold had not yet been separated from its dust. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) distributed it among four men: 'Uyaynah bin Badr, Aqra' bin Habis, Zaid (known as) Khail, and the fourth was either Alqamah or 'Amir bin Tufail (may Allah be pleased with them). One of the companions of the Prophet (may Allah be pleased with them) said, "We are more deserving of this wealth than these people." When this news reached the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), he said: "Do you not trust me, even though I am the trustee of the One who is in the heavens, and news from the heavens comes to me morning and evening?" Then he says that a man with sunken eyes, prominent cheekbones, a high forehead, thick beard, shaven head, and his lower garment raised, stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Fear Allah." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied: "May Allah destroy you! Am I not the most God-fearing among all the people of the earth?" (Then) he says that the man went away. Sayyiduna Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah! Shall I not strike his neck?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "No, perhaps he prays." Sayyiduna Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Many who pray are such (hypocrites) that they say with their tongues what is not in their hearts." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Allah has not commanded me to cut open people's hearts and look inside them, nor to split open their bellies." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) looked towards him as he was walking away, and said: "From the progeny of this man will come a people who will recite the Qur'an beautifully, but it will not go beyond their throats. They will go out of the religion as an arrow passes through the prey." (The narrator says) I think the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said: "If I find those people, I will kill them as the people of Thamud were killed."
