Sahih Adab al-Mufrad

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that on the day of Hunayn, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was at the place of Ji‘ranah (the name of a place seven miles from Makkah towards Ta’if). Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) had a piece of gold in his lap, and he was distributing it. A man came to you and said: “Be just. You are not being just.” You (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Woe to you! If I do not act justly, then who will act justly?” Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “O Messenger of Allah! Allow me to strike the neck of this hypocrite.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “He is with his companions.” Or he said: “He is among his companions. These people will recite the Qur’an, but the Qur’an will not go below their throats. They will go out of the religion just as an arrow passes out of the bow.” I said to Sufyan: “Did Qurrat narrate this from ‘Amr and ‘Amr from Jabir?” He said: “I do not remember it being from ‘Amr, this hadith was narrated to us by Abu Zubair from Jabir.”
