Sahih Muslim Book - 12, Hadith - 2451

حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِىِّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِى نُعْمٍ عَنْ أَبِى سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِىِّ قَالَ بَعَثَ عَلِىٌّ - رضى الله عنه - وَهُوَ بِالْيَمَنِ بِذَهَبَةٍ فِى تُرْبَتِهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَسَمَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- بَيْنَ أَرْبَعَةِ نَفَرٍ الأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ الْحَنْظَلِىُّ وَعُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ بَدْرٍ الْفَزَارِىُّ وَعَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ عُلاَثَةَ الْعَامِرِىُّ ثُمَّ أَحَدُ بَنِى كِلاَبٍ وَزَيْدُ الْخَيْرِ الطَّائِىُّ ثُمَّ أَحَدُ بَنِى نَبْهَانَ - قَالَ - فَغَضِبَتْ قُرَيْشٌ فَقَالُوا أَتُعْطِى صَنَادِيدَ نَجْدٍ وَتَدَعُنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « إِنِّى إِنَّمَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ لأَتَأَلَّفَهُمْ » فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ كَثُّ اللِّحْيَةِ مُشْرِفُ الْوَجْنَتَيْنِ غَائِرُ الْعَيْنَيْنِ نَاتِئُ الْجَبِينِ مَحْلُوقُ الرَّأْسِ فَقَالَ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ. - قَالَ - فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « فَمَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ إِنْ عَصَيْتُهُ أَيَأْمَنُنِى عَلَى أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ وَلاَ تَأْمَنُونِى » قَالَ ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ الرَّجُلُ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ فِى قَتْلِهِ - يُرَوْنَ أَنَّهُ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ - فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « إِنَّ مِنْ ضِئْضِئِ هَذَا قَوْمًا يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لاَ يُجَاوِزُ حَنَاجِرَهُمْ يَقْتُلُونَ أَهْلَ الإِسْلاَمِ وَيَدَعُونَ أَهْلَ الأَوْثَانِ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الإِسْلاَمِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ لَئِنْ أَدْرَكْتُهُمْ لأَقْتُلَنَّهُمْ قَتْلَ عَادٍ ».

It was narrated that Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri said: “While he was In Yemen, Ali [May Allah be pleased with him] sent some gold, still encased in earth, to the Messenger of Allah (SAW), and the Messenger of Allah (SAW) distributed it among four men, Al-Aqra bin Habis Al-Hanzali, Uyaynah bin Badr Al-Farazi, Alqamah bin Ulathah Al-Amiri who was one of the Banu Kilab, and Zaid Al-Khair At-Tai who was one of the Banu Nabhan. The Quraish got angry and said: ‘He gives to chief of Najd and ignores us?’ The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: ‘I did only that in order to incline their hearts (towards faith).’ There came a man with a thick beard, prominent cheeks, sunken eyes, a prominent of forehead and a shaven head, who said: ‘Fear Allah, O Muhammad!’ the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: ‘Who will obey Allah if disobey Him? Would He trust me with the people of earth but you do not trust me?’ then the man turned and left, and a man who was among the people asked for the permission to kill him- they think that he was Khalid bin Walid- “Then the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: ‘Among the progeny of this man will be people who will recite the Quran, but it will not go any further than their throats. They will kill the people of Islam and leave the idol worshippers alone. They will pass through Islam as an arrow passes through the prey. If I live to see them, then I will certainly kill them like Ad.’”
