Hadith 34989

٣٤٩٨٩ - حدثنا عبد الرحيم بن سليمان عن أشعث عن الشعبي زعم أن رجلا من مراد حل، فلما سلم أبو موسى قام فقال: هذا مقام التائب العائذ فقال: ويلك مالك، قال: أنا فلان بن فلان المرادي، وإني كنت حاربت اللَّه ورسوله وسعيت في الأرض فسادًا، فهذا حين جئت وقد تبت من قبل أن تقدر علي، قال: فقام أبو موسى المقام الذي قام فيه، ثم قال: إن هذا فلان بن فلان المرادي، وأنه كان حارب اللَّه ورسوله وسعى في الأرض فسادا، وأنه قد تاب من قبل أن نقدر عليه، فإن يك صادقا فسبيل من صدق، وإن كان كاذبًا يأخذه اللَّه بذنبه، قال: فخرج في الناس فذهب ولحى ثم عاد فقتل (١).
Imam Sha’bi (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that a man from the tribe of Murad performed prayer. The narrator says: When Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) finished the prayer with salam, that man stood up and said: This is the place for one who repents and seeks refuge. Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Woe to you, what is the matter with you? He said: I am so-and-so, son of so-and-so, from Murad. Indeed, I fought against Allah and His Messenger (ﷺ), and I strove to spread corruption in the land. And now I have come in a state where I have repented before gaining power over myself. The narrator says: Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) stood in the place where that man had stood, then he (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Indeed, this is so-and-so, son of so-and-so, from Murad, and he fought against Allah and His Messenger (ﷺ), and strove to spread corruption in the land, and indeed he repented before gaining power over himself. So if this person is truthful, then he will be dealt with as the truthful are dealt with. And if he is lying, then Allah, the Lord of Might, will seize him because of his sin. The narrator says: So that man went out among the people and left, and was saved. Then he did the same deed again, so he was killed.
