Musnad Abi Ya'la 3341 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent one
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَغَيْرُه، وَقَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا دَيْلَمُ بْنُ غَزْوَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: أَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ إِلَى رَأْسٍ مِنْ رُءُوسِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ يَدْعُوهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ ، فَقَالَ: هَذَا الْإِلَهُ الَّذِي تَدْعُو إِلَيْهِ، أَمِنْ فِضَّةٍ هُوَ أَمْ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ؟ فَتَعَاظَمَ مَقَالَتُهُ فِي صَدْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَرَجَعَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَخْبَرَهُ، فَقَالَ: «ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهِ فَادْعُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ». فَرَجَعَ فَقَالَ لَهُ مِثْلَ مَقَالَتِهِ، فَأَتَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَخْبَرَهُ، فَقَالَ: «ارْجِعْ فَادْعُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ، وَأَرْسَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ صَاعِقَةً». فَرَجَعَ فَقَالَ لَهُ مِثْلَ مَقَالَتِهِ، فَأَتَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَخْبَرَهُ، فَقَالَ: «ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهِ فَادْعُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ». وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ فِي الطَّرِيقِ لَا يَعْلَمُ، فَأَتَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَهْلَكَ صَاحِبَهُ، وَنَزَلَتْ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: {وَيُرْسِلُ الصَّوَاعِقَ فَيُصِيبُ بِهَا مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَهُمْ يُجَادِلُونَ فِي اللَّهِ} [الرعد: 13]
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent one of his Companions to one of the chiefs of the polytheists to call him to Allah. He said: "This god to whom you call, is he made of silver or of copper?" His words weighed heavily on the heart of the envoy of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he returned to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him. He said: "Go back to him and call him to Allah." He went back, and the man said the same thing to him. He came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him, and he said: "Go back and call him to Allah." And Allah sent a thunderbolt upon him. He went back, and the man said the same thing to him; he came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him, and he said: "Go back to him and call him to Allah." The envoy was on the way and did not know (what had happened). Then (someone) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him that Allah had destroyed that man, and there was revealed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "And He sends the thunderbolts and strikes with them whom He wills, while they dispute about Allah." [Al-Ra'd: 13]
