(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا
سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ
أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ
ابْنِ أَبِي نُعْمٍ ، عَنْ
أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : بَعَثَ عَلِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ بِالْيَمَنِ ، بِذُهَيْبَةٍ فِي تُرْبَتِهَا ، فَقَسَمَهَا بَيْنَ الْأَقْرَعِ بْنِ حَابِسٍ الْحَنْظَلِيِّ ، ثُمَّ أَحَدِ بَنِي مُجَاشِعٍ ، وَبَيْنَ عُيَيْنَةَ بْنِ بَدْرٍ الْفَزَارِيِّ ، وَبَيْنَ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ عُلَاثَةَ الْعَامِرِيِّ ، ثُمَّ أَحَدِ بَنِي كِلَابٍ ، وَبَيْنَ زَيْدِ الْخَيْرِ الطَّائِيِّ ، ثُمَّ أَحَدِ بَنِي نَبْهَانَ ، قَالَ : فَغَضِبَتْ قُرَيْشٌ وَالْأَنْصَارُ , قَالُوا : يُعْطِي صَنَادِيدَ أَهْلِ نَجْدٍ وَيَدَعُنَا , قَالَ : " إِنَّمَا أَتَأَلَّفُهُمْ " , قَالَ : فَأَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ غَائِرُ الْعَيْنَيْنِ ، نَاتِئُ الْجَبِينِ ، كَثُّ اللِّحْيَةِ ، مُشْرِفُ الْوَجْنَتَيْنِ ، مَحْلُوقٌ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، اتَّقِ اللَّهَ , قَالَ : " فَمَنْ يُطِيعُ اللَّهَ إِذَا عَصَيْتُهُ ، يَأْمَنُنِي عَلَى أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ وَلَا تَأْمَنُونِي " , قَالَ : فَسَأَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ قَتْلَهُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُرَاهُ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ ، فَمَنَعَهُ ، فَلَمَّا وَلَّى قَالَ : " إِنَّ مِنْ ضِئْضِئِ هَذَا قَوْمًا يَقْرَؤُونَ الْقُرْآنَ ، لَا يُجَاوِزُ حَنَاجِرَهُمْ ، يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ مُرُوقَ السَّهْمِ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ ، يَقْتُلُونَ أَهْلَ الْإِسْلَامِ ، وَيَدَعُونَ أَهْلَ الْأَوْثَانِ ، لَئِنْ أَنَا أَدْرَكْتُهُمْ لَأَقْتُلَنَّهُمْ قَتْلَ عَادٍ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) sent a piece of gold from Yemen wrapped in tanned leather—"whose clay had not been spoiled"—to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed it among Zaid al-Khair, Aqra’ bin Habis, Uyainah bin Hisn, and Alqamah bin Alathah or Amir bin Tufail, four men. Some of the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and the Ansar felt uneasy about this. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them, "Do you not consider me trustworthy? I am the trustee of the One who is in the heavens. News from the heavens comes to me morning and evening." Meanwhile, a man with deep-set eyes, red cheeks, broad forehead, thick beard, his lower garment raised high, and his head shaved, came and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Fear Allah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked up at him and said, "Wretched one! Am I not the most deserving among the people of the earth to fear Allah?" Then that man turned his back and walked away. Hazrat Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Allow me to strike his neck?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Perhaps he performs prayer." He said, "Many who pray say with their tongues what is not in their hearts." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I have not been commanded to pierce people's hearts or to split open their bellies." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at him as he was turning away and said, "Remember! From the progeny of this man will come a people who will recite the Qur'an but it will not go beyond their throats, and they will go out of the religion as an arrow passes through its prey. They will kill the Muslims and leave the idolaters. If I find them, I will kill them as the people of 'Ad were killed."
