حَدِيثُ أَبِي عَامِرٍ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ، ١٧٧٩٨ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ مِغْوَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُدْرِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَامِرٍ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ: كَانَ رَجُلٌ قُتِلَ مِنْهُمْ بِأَوْطَاسٍ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " يَا أَبَا عَامِرٍ أَلَا غَيَّرْتَ؟ " فَتَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ: {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْفُسَكُمْ لَا يَضُرُّكُمْ مَنْ ضَلَّ إِذَا اهْتَدَيْتُمْ} (١) [المائدة: ١٠٥] فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ: " أَيْنَ ذَهَبْتُمْ إِنَّمَا هِيَ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا يَضُرُّكُمْ مَنْ ضَلَّ مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ إِذَا اهْتَدَيْتُمْ "،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Amir Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that one of his men was killed in the Battle of Autas. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Amir! Did you not feel any sense of honor?" Abu Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) recited this verse: "O you who believe! Take care of your own selves. If you are guided, no one who goes astray can harm you." Upon this, the Prophet (ﷺ) became angry and said, "Where are you going? The meaning of the verse is: O believers! If you are guided, then misguided disbelievers cannot harm you in any way."
