حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ عِيسَى، حَدَّثَنَا جَامِعُ بْنُ مَطَرٍ الْحَبَطِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو رُؤْبَةَ شَدَّادُ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ الْقَيْسِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي مَرَرْتُ بِوَادِي كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ مُتَخَشِّعٌ حَسَنُ الْهَيْئَةِ يُصَلِّي، فَقَالَ (٢) لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " اذْهَبْ إِلَيْهِ فَاقْتُلْهُ "، ، قَالَ: فَذَهَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْحَالِ كَرِهَ أَنْ يَقْتُلَهُ، فَرَجَعَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ (١) : فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِعُمَرَ: " اذْهَبْ فَاقْتُلْهُ "، فَذَهَبَ عُمَرُ فَرَآهُ عَلَى تِلْكَ (٢) الْحَالِ الَّتِي رَآهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، قَالَ: فَكَرِهَ أَنْ يَقْتُلَهُ، قَالَ: فَرَجَعَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُهُ يُصَلِّي مُتَخَشِّعًا، فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَقْتُلَهُ، قَالَ: " يَا عَلِيُّ اذْهَبْ فَاقْتُلْهُ "، قَالَ: فَذَهَبَ عَلِيٌّ فَلَمْ يَرَهُ، فَرَجَعَ عَلِيٌّ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّهُ لَمْ يُرَهْ، قَالَ (٣) : فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ هَذَا وَأَصْحَابَهُ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ، لَا يُجَاوِزُ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ، يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ، ثُمَّ لَا يَعُودُونَ فِيهِ (٤) حَتَّى يَعُودَ السَّهْمُ فِي فُوقِهِ، فَاقْتُلُوهُمْ هُمْ شَرُّ الْبَرِيَّةِ " (٥)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that once Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the service of the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! I passed by a certain place where a man was praying with great humility and devotion in an excellent manner." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Go and kill him." Siddiq Akbar went, but when he saw him in the same previous state, killing him became burdensome for him, so he returned to the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) then said to Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), "You go and kill him." He went and also saw him in the same state as Siddiq Akbar had seen, so killing him also became burdensome for him, and he too returned and said, "O Messenger of Allah! I saw him praying with such humility that I did not like to kill him." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) sent Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "You go and kill him." He went but did not find that man anywhere. He returned and said, "O Messenger of Allah! I did not find that man." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "He and his companions will recite the Qur'an, but it will not go beyond their throats, and they will leave the religion just as an arrow leaves the prey and does not return to it, until the arrow returns to its quiver. Kill this worst of creatures."
