Hadith of Abu 'Amir al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him)

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 "،

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."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " أَعْظَمُ الْغُلُولِ عِنْدَ اللهِ ذِرَاعٌ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ، تَجِدُونَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ جَارَيْنِ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَوْ فِي الدَّارِ، فَيَقْتَطِعُ أَحَدُهُمَا مِنْ حَظِّ صَاحِبِهِ ذِرَاعًا، فَإِذَا اقْتَطَعَهُ طُوِّقَهُ مِنْ سَبْعِ أَرَضِينَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Malik Ashja'i (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet, the Leader of both worlds, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The greatest betrayal in the sight of Allah is betrayal in a span of land. You see that two men are neighbors in a piece of land or a house, yet one of them unjustly takes a span from his companion's share. On the Day of Resurrection, the one who does this will have a collar made from that portion, from all seven earths, placed around his neck.
