حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو دَاوُدَ الْمُبَارَكِيُّ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو شِهَابٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُوَرِّعِ (٣) ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي جَنَازَةٍ، فَقَالَ: " مَنْ يَأْتِي الْمَدِينَةَ فَلا يَدَعُ قَبْرًا إِلا سَوَّاهُ، وَلا صُورَةً إِلا طَلَخَهَا، وَلا وَثَنًا إِلا كَسَرَهُ "، ، قَالَ: فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: أَنَا. ثُمَّ هَابَ أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَجَلَسَ، قَالَ عَلِيٌّ: فَانْطَلَقْتُ، ثُمَّ جِئْتُ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَمْ أَدَعْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ قَبْرًا إِلا سَوَّيْتُهُ، وَلا صُورَةً إِلا طَلَخْتُهَا، وَلا وَثَنًا إِلا كَسَّرْتُهُ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: " مَنْ عَادَ فَصَنَعَ شَيْئًا مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ كَفَرَ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ، يَا عَلِيُّ، لَا تَكُونَنَّ فَتَّانًا - أَوْ قَالَ: مُخْتَالًا - وَلا تَاجِرًا إِلا تَاجِرَ الْخَيْرِ، فَإِنَّ أُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُسَوِّفُونَ (١) فِي الْعَمَلِ " (٢)،

It was narrated that ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) said:
We were with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) at a funeral, and he said: `Who will go to Madinah and not leave any grave without levelling it, or any image without smearing it, or any idol without breaking it?` A man stood up and said: I will. Then he felt afraid of the people of Madinah, so he sat down. `Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: So I went, then I came back and said: O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), I did not leave any grave in Madinah but I levelled it, or any image but I smeared it, or any idol but I broke it. He said: `Whoever goes back to doing any of that has disbelieved in what Allah revealed to Muhammad. O Ali, do not be a cause of division - or he said: a show-off - or a merchant, except a good merchant, for they are the ones who procrastinate in doing good deeds.”
