Musnad Abi Ya'la 90 — in the blessed time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ ، 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 ، فَذَكَرْنَاهُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِاسْمِهِ فَلَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ ، وَوَصَفْنَاهُ بِصِفَتِهِ فَلَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ ، فَبَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ نَذْكُرُهُ إِذْ طَلَعَ الرَّجُلُ ، قُلْنَا : هَا هُوَ ذَا ، قَالَ : إِنَّكُمْ لَتُخْبِرُونِي عَنْ رَجُلٍ ، إِنَّ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ سَفْعَةً مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ ، فَأَقْبَلَ حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَمْ يُسَلِّمْ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَنْشَدْتُكَ بِاللهِ هَلْ قُلْتَ حِينَ وَقَفْتَ عَلَى الْمَجْلِسِ : مَا فِي الْقَوْمِ أَحَدٌ أَفْضَلُ مِنِّي أَوْ أَخْيَرُ مِنِّي ؟ قَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ يُصَلِّي ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَنْ يَقْتُلُ الرَّجُلَ ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : أَنَا ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَوَجَدَهُ قَائِمًا يُصَلِّي ، فَقَالَ : سُبْحَانَ اللهِ أَقْتُلُ رَجُلًا يُصَلِّي ، وَقَدْ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ قَتْلِ الْمُصَلِّينَ ؟ فَخَرَجَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَا فَعَلْتَ ؟ قَالَ : كَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَقْتُلَهُ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي ، وَقَدْ نَهَيْتَ عَنْ قَتْلِ الْمُصَلِّينَ ، قَالَ عُمَرُ : أَنَا ، فَدَخَلَ فَوَجَدَهُ وَاضِعًا وَجْهَهُ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَفْضَلُ مِنِّي ، فَخَرَجَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَهْ ؟ قَالَ : وَجَدْتُهُ وَاضِعًا وَجْهَهُ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَقْتُلَهُ ، فَقَالَ : مَنْ يَقْتُلُ الرَّجُلَ ؟ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ : أَنَا ، قَالَ : أَنْتَ إِنْ أَدْرَكْتَهُ ، قَالَ : فَدَخَلَ عَلِيٌّ فَوَجَدَهُ قَدْ خَرَجَ ، فَرَجَعَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : مَهْ ؟ قَالَ : وَجَدْتُهُ قَدْ خَرَجَ ، قَالَ : لَوْ قُتِلَ مَا اخْتَلَفَ فِي أُمَّتِي رَجُلَانِ ، كَانَ أَوَّلَهُمْ وَآخِرَهُمْ ، قَالَ مُوسَى : سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ كَعْبٍ ، يَقُولُ : هُوَ الَّذِي قَتَلَهُ عَلِيٌّ ، ذَا 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 by name to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), 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, and we said: Here is that man! He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You are telling me about a man on whose face there is a mark of Satan." Then the man came forward until he stood by those people, and he did not even give the greeting of peace. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "I ask you by Allah: when you came and stood at this gathering, did you say in your heart that there is no one among these people more virtuous than me or better than me?" He replied: "Allahumma na'am (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 (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I will. So he went to him and found him standing in prayer. He 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 killing 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, and you have forbidden killing those who pray. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I (will kill him). He went and found him in prostration. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said (to himself): Abu Bakr is better than me (since he left him, how can I kill him?). So he too came back. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What news?" He said: I found him in prostration, so I disliked killing him. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Who will kill this man?" Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I will. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, you (will kill him), provided you find him." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) went in and saw that he had already left. He returned to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), who asked: "What happened?" He said: I saw that he had gone. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Had he been killed, not even two men in my Ummah would ever have differed; he was the first and the last of them (the mischief-makers)." Musa (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I heard Muhammad bin Ka'b (may Allah have mercy on him) say: This was the same man (Dhul-Thudayyah) whom Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) later killed.
