Musnad Abi Ya'la 1349 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent an army under
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ ، أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ قَالَ : بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ مُجَزِّزٍ عَلَى بَعْثٍ أَنَا فِيهِمْ ، فَخَرَجْنَا حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا عَلَى رَأْسِ غَزَاتِنَا أَوْ فِي بَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ ، فَاسْتَأْذَنَهُ طَائِفَةٌ فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ ، وَأَمَّرَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ حُذَافَةَ ، وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ بَدْرٍ ، وَكَانَتْ فِيهِ دُعَابَةٌ ، فَكُنْتُ فِيمَنْ رَجَعَ مَعَهُ ، فَبَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ فِي بَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ فَنَزَلْنَا مَنْزِلَنَا وَأَوْقَدَ الْقَوْمُ نَارًا يَصْطَلُونَ بِهَا ، أَوْ يَصْنَعُونَ عَلَيْهَا صَنِيعًا لَهُمْ ، إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ عَبْدُ اللهِ : أَلَيْسَ لِي عَلَيْكُمُ السَّمْعُ وَالطَّاعَةُ ؟ قَالُوا : بَلَى ، قَالَ : فَمَا أَنَا بِآمِرِكُمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا فَعَلْتُمُوهُ ؟ قَالُوا : بَلَى . قَالَ : فَإِنِّي أَعْزِمُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِحَقِّي وَطَاعَتِي إِلَّا تَوَاثَبْتُمْ فِي هَذِهِ النَّارِ ، قَالَ : فَقَامَ نَاسٌ فَتَحَجَّزُوا ، حَتَّى إِذَا ظَنَّ أَنَّهُمْ وَاثِبُونَ فِيهَا ، قَالَ : أَمْسِكُوا عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْفُسَكُمْ ، وَإِنَّمَا كُنْتُ أَضْحَكُ مَعَكُمْ ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمُوا عَلَى نَبِيِّ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لَهُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : « مَنْ أَمَرَكُمْ مِنْهُمْ بِمَعْصِيَةٍ فَلَا تُطِيعُوهُ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent an army under the command of Sayyiduna Alqamah bin Mujazziz (may Allah be pleased with him), and I was among them. When we had reached the furthest point of our expedition, or were somewhere along the way, a group asked him for permission (to return); he gave them permission and appointed Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Hudhafah (may Allah be pleased with him) as their commander. He was one of the people of Badr, and there was an element of good humour and jest in his nature. I was among those who returned with him. While we were on the way and had halted at a place, the people lit a fire to warm themselves or to prepare some food on it, when suddenly Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) addressed them and said: "Is it not binding on you to listen to me and obey me?" The people replied: Of course. He asked again: "Then will you do whatever I command you?" They said: Yes. He said: "I adjure you by my right and by your obedience, and firmly command you, that you all leap into this fire." Hearing this, some people stood up and tightened their waist-wrappers, until, when he was sure that they were really about to leap into it, he said: "Stop, and save yourselves; I was only joking with you." Then when they came to the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned this incident to him (peace and blessings be upon him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever among them (the rulers or commanders) commands you to disobey Allah, do not obey him at all."
