Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو شِهَابٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: جِئْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَامَ الْجِعْرَانَةِ، وَهُوَ يَقْسِمُ فِضَّةً فِي ثَوْبِ بِلَالٍ لِلنَّاسِ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اعْدِلْ، فَقَالَ: " وَيْلَكَ، وَمَنْ يَعْدِلُ إِذَا لَمْ أَعْدِلْ، لَقَدْ خِبْتَ إِنْ لَمْ أَكُنْ أَعْدِلُ "، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ دَعْنِي أَقْتُلْ هَذَا الْمُنَافِقَ، فَقَالَ: " مَعَاذَ اللهِ أَنْ يَتَحَدَّثَ النَّاسُ أَنِّي أَقْتُلُ أَصْحَابِي، إِنَّ هَذَا وَأَصْحَابَهُ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يُجَاوِزُ حَنَاجِرَهُمْ - أَوْ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ - يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ مُرُوقَ السَّهْمِ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ " (٣)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the year of Ji‘irrana, I was with the Prophet (ﷺ) when he was distributing silver among the people, which was placed in the garment of Bilal. A man said, "O Messenger of Allah! Be just." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Woe to you! If I am not just, then who will be just? If I do not act justly, then I would be at a loss." ‘Umar said, "O Messenger of Allah! Allow me to strike the neck of this hypocrite." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I seek refuge with Allah that people should start saying that I kill my companions. And his companions will recite the Qur'an, but it will not go beyond their throats, and these people will go out of the religion just as an arrow passes out of the hunted prey."
