حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَارَةُ بْنُ الْقَعْقَاعِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نُعْمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: بَعَثَ عَلِيٌّ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِذَهَبَةٍ فِي أَدِيمٍ مَقْرُوظٍ (١) ، لَمْ تُحَصَّلْ (٢) مِنْ تُرَابِهَا، فَقَسَمَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ أَرْبَعَةٍ: بَيْنَ زَيْدِ الْخَيْرِ، وَالْأَقْرَعِ بْنِ حَابِسٍ، وَعُيَيْنَةَ بْنِ حِصْنٍ، وَعَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ عُلَاثَةَ، أَوْ عَامِرِ بْنِ الطُّفَيْلِ - شَكَّ عُمَارَةُ - فَوَجَدَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ وَالْأَنْصَارُ وَغَيْرُهُمْ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَلَا تَتَّمِنُونِي وَأَنَا أَمِينُ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ، يَأْتِينِي خَبَرٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ صَبَاحًا وَمَسَاءً " (٣) ، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ غَائِرُ الْعَيْنَيْنِ،، ، مُشْرِفُ الْوَجْنَتَيْنِ، نَاشِزُ الْجَبْهَةِ، كَثُّ اللِّحْيَةِ، مُشَمَّرُ الْإِزَارِ، مَحْلُوقُ الرَّأْسِ، فَقَالَ: اتَّقِ اللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: " وَيْحَكَ أَلَسْتُ (١) أَحَقَّ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ أَنْ يَتَّقِيَ اللهَ أَنَا؟ " ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ، فَقَالَ خَالِدٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَلَا أَضْرِبُ عُنُقَهُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " فَلَعَلَّهُ يَكُونُ يُصَلِّي " فَقَالَ: إِنَّهُ رُبَّ مُصَلٍّ (٢) يَقُولُ بِلِسَانِهِ مَا لَيْسَ فِي قَلْبِهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنِّي لَمْ أُومَرْ أَنْ أُنَقِّبَ عَنْ قُلُوبِ النَّاسِ، وَلَا أَشُقَّ بُطُونَهُمْ "، ثُمَّ نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ مُقَفٍّ (٣) ، فَقَالَ: " هَا (٤) إِنَّهُ سَيَخْرُجُ مِنْ ضِئْضِئِ هَذَا قَوْمٌ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ، لَا يُجَاوِزُ حَنَاجِرَهُمْ، يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ " (٥)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) sent a piece of gold from Yemen, wrapped in a tanned hide "whose clay had not been spoiled," to the service of the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) distributed it among Zaid al-Khair, Aqra’ bin Habis, Uyaina bin Hisn, and Alqama bin Ulatha 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 (ﷺ) 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, a broad forehead, a thick beard, his lower garment raised high, and his head shaved, came and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Fear Allah." The Prophet (ﷺ) 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. Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah! Allow me to strike his neck?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Perhaps he prays." He replied, "Many who pray say with their tongues what is not in their hearts." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I have not been commanded to pierce people's hearts or to split open their bellies." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) 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."
