حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ، حَدَّثَنِي شَيْبَانُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَرْطَاةَ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بنِ عُتَيْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ الْهُذَلِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ: " أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَنْ يُسَوِّيَ كُلَّ قَبْرٍ، وَأَنْ يُلَطِّخَ كُلَّ صَنَمٍ " فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَدْخُلَ بُيُوتَ قَوْمِي، قَالَ: فَأَرْسَلَنِي، فَلَمَّا جِئْتُ قَالَ: " يَا عَلِيُّ، لَا تَكُونَنَّ فَتَّانًا، وَلا مُخْتَالًا، وَلا تَاجِرًا إِلا تَاجِرَ خَيْرٍ فَإِنَّ أُولَئِكَ مُسَوِّفُونَ - أَوْ مَسْبُوقُونَ (٣) - فِي الْعَمَلِ (٤) "،
Translation
English translation
It was narrated from Abu Muhammad Al-Hudhali, from ‘Ali bin Abi Talib (رضي الله عنه) that The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent a man of the Ansar to level every grave and spoil every idol. He said:
O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), I do not like to enter the houses of my people. So he sent me, and when I came back he said: `O ‘Ali, do not be a cause of division, or a show-off, or a merchant, except a good merchant, for they are the ones who procrastinate - or who are lagging behind - in doing good deeds.` It was narrated from a man among the people of Basrah - whom the people of Basrah called Abu Muwarri` whilst the people of Koofah called him Abu Muhammad - said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was at a funeral... and he mentioned a hadeeth similar to that of Abu Dawood from Abu Shihab.
