(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَرِيَّةً ، وَاسْتَعْمَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ، قَالَ : فَلَمَّا خَرَجُوا ، قَالَ : وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي شَيْءٍ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ لَهُمْ : أَلَيْسَ قَدْ أَمَرَكُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ تُطِيعُونِي ؟ قَالَ : قَالُوا : بَلَى ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ : اجْمَعُوا حَطَبًا ، ثُمَّ دَعَا بِنَارٍ فَأَضْرَمَهَا فِيهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : عَزَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ لَتَدْخُلُنَّهَا ، قَالَ : فَهَمَّ الْقَوْمُ أَنْ يَدْخُلُوهَا ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ لَهُمْ شَابٌّ مِنْهُمْ : إِنَّمَا فَرَرْتُمْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ النَّارِ ، فَلَا تَعْجَلُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوْا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَإِنْ أَمَرَكُمْ أَنْ تَدْخُلُوهَا فَادْخُلُوها ، قَالَ : فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَخْبَرُوهُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ : " لَوْ دَخَلْتُمُوهَا مَا خَرَجْتُمْ مِنْهَا أَبَدًا ، إِنَّمَا الطَّاعَةُ فِي الْمَعْرُوفِ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent out an army and appointed an Ansari as their commander. When they set out, that Ansari became angry with them over something and said to them, "Gather firewood." After that, he had a fire lit in the wood and said, "I make you swear that you must enter this fire." The people were just considering jumping into it when a young man said, "It was from this very fire that you fled and sought refuge with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Do not be hasty; first go and ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). If he commands you to jump into it, then certainly do so." So the people stopped and, upon returning, told the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) the whole incident. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If you had entered it once, you would never have come out of it. Remember! Obedience is only in matters of goodness."
