From the Musnad of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
Musnad Abi Ya'la 1163 — Sayyiduna Ali sent from Yemen to the Messenger
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي نُعْمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ : بَعَثَ عَلِيٌّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مِنَ الْيَمَنِ بِذَهَبَةٍ فِي أَدَمٍ مَقْرُوظٍ لَمْ تُحَصَّلْ ، فَقَسَمَهَا بَيْنَ أَرْبَعَةِ نَفَرٍ : زَيْدِ الْخَيْلِ ، وَالْأَقْرَعِ بْنِ حَابِسٍ ، وَعُيَيْنَةَ بْنِ حِصْنٍ ، وَعَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ عُلَاثَةَ ، فَقَالَ نَاسٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ : نَحْنُ كُنَّا أَحَقَّ بِهَذَا ، فَبَلَغَهُ ذَلِكَ فَشَقَّ عَلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ : « لَا تَأْمَنُونِي وَأَنَا أَمِينُ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ ، يَأْتِينِي خَبَرُ السَّمَاءِ صَبَاحًا وَمَسَاءً ؟ » فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ نَاتِئُ الْعَيْنَيْنِ ، مُشْرِفُ الْوَجْنَتَيْنِ ، نَاشِزُ الْجَبْهَةِ ، كَثُّ اللِّحْيَةِ ، مَحْلُوقُ الرَّأْسِ ، مُشَمَّرُ الْإِزَارِ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اتَّقِ اللهَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : « وَيْحَكَ ، أَوَلَسْتُ أَحَقَّ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ بِأَنْ أَتَّقِيَ اللهَ ؟ » ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ ، فَقَامَ خَالِدٌ سَيْفُ اللهِ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، أَلَا أَضْرِبُ عُنُقَهُ ؟ فَقَالَ : « لَا : إِنَّهُ لَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ » . قَالَ : إِنَّهُ إِنْ يُصَلِّي يَقُولُ بِلِسَانِهِ مَا لَيْسَ فِي قَلْبِهِ . قَالَ : « إِنِّي لَمْ أُومَرْ أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَنْ قُلُوبِ النَّاسِ ، وَلَا أَشُقَّ بُطُونَهُمْ » . فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ مُقَفٍّ ، فَقَالَ : « إِنَّهُ سَيَخْرُجُ مِنْ ضِئْضِئِ هَذَا قَوْمٌ يَتْلُونَ كِتَابَ اللهِ لَا يُجَاوِزُ حَنَاجِرَهُمْ ، يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ » . فَقَالَ عُمَارَةُ : فَحَسِبْتُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ : « لَئِنْ أَدْرَكْتُهُمْ لَأَقْتُلَنَّهُمْ قَتْلَ ثَمُودَ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) sent from Yemen to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) a nugget of gold in a bag of leather tanned with acacia bark, which had not yet been cleaned of its earth. He (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed it among four men: Zayd al-Khayl, al-Aqra' bin Habis, Uyaynah bin Hisn and Alqamah bin Ulathah. At this some people of the Muhajirun and the Ansar said (in complaint): "We were more entitled to this wealth than they." When this news reached him (peace and blessings be upon him), it weighed heavily on him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you not trust me, when I am the trustee of the One who is in the heaven, and news from the heaven comes to me morning and evening?" Then a man stood up whose eyes were sunken, whose cheekbones were prominent, whose forehead protruded, whose beard was thick, whose head was shaved and whose lower garment was tucked up. He said: "O Messenger of Allah, fear Allah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Woe to you! Am I not the most entitled of all the people of the earth to fear Allah?" Then, when the man turned away, Sayyiduna Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him), the Sword of Allah, said: "O Messenger of Allah, shall I not strike off his neck?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, perhaps he prays." Sayyiduna Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "If he does pray, he says with his tongue what is not in his heart." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have not been commanded to split open people's hearts or to cut open their bellies." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at the man as he walked away with his back turned and said: "From the offspring of this man will come a people who will recite the Book of Allah, but it will not go beyond their throats. They will pass out of the religion as an arrow passes through the game." Umarah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I think he (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: "If I were to find them, I would kill them as the people of Thamud were killed."
