Musnad Abi Ya'la 4143 — in the blessed time of the Messenger of Allah

هُودٌ الْعَصْرِيُّ عَنْ أَنَسٍ
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الزِّبْرِقَانِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُبَيْدَةَ ، أَخْبَرَنِي هُودُ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : كَانَ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - رَجُلٌ يُعْجِبُنَا تَعَبُّدُهُ وَاجْتِهَادُهُ ، قَدْ عَرَّفْنَاهُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِاسْمِهِ فَلَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ ، وَوَصَفْنَاهُ بِصِفَتِهِ فَلَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ ، فَبَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ نَذْكُرُهُ إِذْ طَلَعَ الرَّجُلُ ، قُلْنَا : هُوَ هَذَا ، قَالَ : إِنَّكُمْ لَتُخْبِرُونَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ إِنَّ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ سَفْعَةً مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ ، فَأَقْبَلَ حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَيْهِمْ ، وَلَمْ يُسَلِّمْ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : أَنْشُدُكَ بِاللهِ ، هَلْ قُلْتَ حِينَ وَقَفْتَ عَلَى الْمَجْلِسِ : مَا فِي الْقَوْمِ أَحَدٌ أَفْضَلُ ، أَوْ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي ؟ قَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ يُصَلِّي ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : مَنْ يَقْتُلُ الرَّجُلَ ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : أَنَا ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَوَجَدَهُ يُصَلِّي ، فَقَالَ : سُبْحَانَ اللهِ أَقْتُلُ رَجُلًا يُصَلِّي ، وَقَدْ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَنْ ضَرْبِ الْمُصَلِّينَ ، فَخَرَجَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : مَا فَعَلْتَ ؟ قَالَ : كَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَقْتُلَهُ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي ، وَقَدْ نَهَيْتَ عَنْ ضَرْبِ الْمُصَلِّينَ ، قَالَ : مَنْ يَقْتُلُ الرَّجُلَ ؟ قَالَ عُمَرُ : أَنَا ، فَدَخَلَ فَوَجَدَهُ وَاضِعًا وَجْهَهُ ، قَالَ عُمَرُ : أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَفْضَلُ مِنِّي ، فَخَرَجَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : مَهْ ؟ قَالَ : وَجَدْتُهُ وَاضِعًا وَجْهَهُ لِلهِ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَقْتُلَهُ ، قَالَ : مَنْ يَقْتُلُ الرَّجُلَ ؟ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ : أَنَا ، قَالَ : أَنْتَ إِنْ أَدْرَكْتَهُ ، قَالَ : فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَوَجَدَهُ قَدْ خَرَجَ ، فَرَجَعَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ لَهُ : مَهْ ؟ قَالَ : وَجَدْتُهُ قَدْ خَرَجَ ، فَقَالَ : لَوْ قُتِلَ مَا اخْتَلَفَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي رَجُلَانِ ، كَانَ أَوَّلَهُمْ وَآخِرَهُمْ .
قَالَ مُوسَى : فَسَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ كَعْبٍ ، فَقَالَ : هُوَ الَّذِي قَتَلَهُ عَلِيٌّ : ذُو الثُّدَيَّةِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the blessed time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) there was a man whose devotion to worship and striving greatly impressed us. We mentioned him to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) by his name, but he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not recognise him; then we described his qualities, and still he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not recognise him. While we were mentioning him, the man suddenly appeared. We said: "This is the man." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You are telling me about a man on whose face there is a mark (darkness) from Satan." Then the man came forward until he stood by them, but he did not give the greeting of peace. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "I ask you by Allah: when you came and stood at this gathering, did you not say (to yourself) that in this whole group there is no one better or more excellent than you?" He replied: "O Allah, yes (I did say that)." Then he entered the mosque and began to pray. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Who will kill this man?" Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I." He went to him and found him praying, and said (to himself): "Glory be to Allah! Shall I kill a man who is praying, when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has forbidden striking those who pray?" So he came back. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What did you do?" He said: "I disliked killing him while he was praying, since you (peace and blessings be upon him) have forbidden striking those who pray." He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked again: "Who will kill this man?" Sayyiduna Umar al-Faruq (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I." He went in and found him in prostration. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) thought that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) is better than him (so if he left him, how could he kill him?), and so he too came back. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What happened?" He said: "I found him prostrating before Allah, so I could not bring myself to kill him." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said again: "Who will kill this man?" Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, you (will kill him) if you find him." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) went in, but the man had already gone. He came back to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), who asked: "What happened?" He said: "He has already left." At this he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Had he been killed, not even two people of my Ummah would ever have differed; he would have been the first of them and the last of them." Musa (the narrator) said: I heard Muhammad bin Ka'b (may Allah have mercy on him) say: "He is the one whom Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) later killed, namely Dhu al-Thudayyah (the leader of the Khawarij)."
