Hadith of Makharik (may Allah be pleased with him)

حَدِيثُ مُخَارِقٍ (١)، ٢٢٥١٣ - حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ قَابُوسَ بْنِ مُخَارِقٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَسْرِقَنِي أَوْ يَأْخُذَ مِنِّي مَالِي (٢) مَا تَأْمُرُنِي بِهِ؟ قَالَ: " تُعْظِمُ عَلَيْهِ بِاللهِ ". قَالَ: فَإِنْ فَعَلْتُ فَلَمْ يَنْتَهِ؟ قَالَ: " تَسْتَعْدِي السُّلْطَانَ ". قَالَ: فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِقُرْبِي مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ؟ قَالَ: " تُجَاهِدُهُ أَوْ تُقَاتِلُهُ حَتَّى تُكْتَبَ فِي شُهَدَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ أَوْ تَمْنَعَ مَالَكَ " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Makharraq (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the service of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "Tell me, if someone comes to me with the intention of stealing from me or snatching my wealth, what do you command me regarding him?" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Make clear to him the importance of Allah's commands." He said, "If I do that but he still does not desist from his intention, then what should I do?" The Prophet said, "Seek help against him from the ruler." He asked, "If there is no other Muslim with me (and he attacks me immediately), then what should I do?" The Prophet said, "Then you also fight him until you are written among the martyrs of the Hereafter or you save your wealth."

حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ قَرْمٍ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ قَابُوسَ بْنِ مُخَارِقٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: أَتَى رَجُلٌ النَّبِيَّ فَقَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ أَتَانِي رَجُلٌ يَأْخُذُ مَالِي؟ قَالَ: " تُذَكِّرُهُ بِاللهِ ". قَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ ذَكَّرْتُهُ بِاللهِ فَأَبَى؟ (١) قَالَ: " فَإِنْ فَعَلْتُ فَلَمْ يَنْتَهِ قَالَ: تَسْتَعِينُ عَلَيْهِ بِالسُّلْطَانِ ". قَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ السُّلْطَانُ مِنِّي نَائِيًا؟ قَالَ: " تَسْتَعِينُ عَلَيْهِ بِالْمُسْلِمِينَ ". قَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ يَحْضُرْنِي أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَعَجِلَ عَلَيَّ؟ قَالَ: " فَقَاتِلْ حَتَّى تَحْرُزَ مَالَكَ، أَوْ تُقْتَلَ فَتَكُونَ فِي شُهَدَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ " (٢)، ،
