حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِى نُعْمٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِىَّ يَقُولُ بَعَثَ عَلِىُّ بْنُ أَبِى طَالِبٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- مِنَ الْيَمَنِ بِذَهَبَةٍ فِى أَدِيمٍ مَقْرُوظٍ لَمْ تُحَصَّلْ مِنْ تُرَابِهَا - قَالَ - فَقَسَمَهَا بَيْنَ أَرْبَعَةِ نَفَرٍ بَيْنَ عُيَيْنَةَ بْنِ حِصْنٍ وَالأَقْرَعِ بْنِ حَابِسٍ وَزَيْدِ الْخَيْلِ وَالرَّابِعُ إِمَّا عَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ عُلاَثَةَ وَإِمَّا عَامِرُ بْنُ الطُّفَيْلِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ كُنَّا نَحْنُ أَحَقَّ بِهَذَا مِنْ هَؤُلاَءِ - قَالَ - فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم-. فَقَالَ « أَلاَ تَأْمَنُونِى وَأَنَا أَمِينُ مَنْ فِى السَّمَاءِ يَأْتِينِى خَبَرُ السَّمَاءِ صَبَاحًا وَمَسَاءً ». قَالَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ غَائِرُ الْعَيْنَيْنِ مُشْرِفُ الْوَجْنَتَيْنِ نَاشِزُ الْجَبْهَةِ كَثُّ اللِّحْيَةِ مَحْلُوقُ الرَّأْسِ مُشَمَّرُ الإِزَارِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ. فَقَالَ « وَيْلَكَ أَوَلَسْتُ أَحَقَّ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ أَنْ يَتَّقِىَ اللَّهَ ». قَالَ ثُمَّ وَلَّى الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلاَ أَضْرِبُ عُنُقَهُ فَقَالَ « لاَ لَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ يُصَلِّى ». قَالَ خَالِدٌ وَكَمْ مِنْ مُصَلٍّ يَقُولُ بِلِسَانِهِ مَا لَيْسَ فِى قَلْبِهِ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « إِنِّى لَمْ أُومَرْ أَنْ أَنْقُبَ عَنْ قُلُوبِ النَّاسِ وَلاَ أَشُقَّ بُطُونَهُمْ ». قَالَ ثُمَّ نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ مُقَفٍّ فَقَالَ « إِنَّهُ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ ضِئْضِئِ هَذَا قَوْمٌ يَتْلُونَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ رَطْبًا لاَ يُجَاوِزُ حَنَاجِرَهُمْ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ - قَالَ أَظُنُّهُ قَالَ - لَئِنْ أَدْرَكْتُهُمْ لأَقْتُلَنَّهُمْ قَتْلَ ثَمُودَ ».

Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri said: “Ali bin Abi Talib sent to the Messenger of Allah (SAW) some gold from Yemen in a tanned lather bag, that had not been purified of the earth clinging to it. He distributed it in a four men: ‘, Uyaynah bin Badr, Al-Aqra bin Habis, Zaid Al-Khail and the fourth, who was either Alqamah bin Ulathah or Amir bin Tufail. One of his companions’ said: ‘We had more right to it than these men. ’ News of that reached the Prophet (SAW) and he said: ‘Do you not trust me, when I am the trustee of the One Who is above the heaven and the news of heaven comes to me morning and evening?’ A man with a thick beard, prominent cheeks, sunken eyes, a high of forehead and a shaven head stood up and folding his Izar up, and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah (SAW), fear Allah!’ He said: ‘Woe to you! Am I not the one who should fear the Allah the most among the people of the earth?’ then the man turned and left, and Khalid bin Walid said: ‘O Messenger of Allah (SAW), should I not strike his neck (kill him)?’ he said: ‘No, perhaps he prays.’ Khalid said: ‘How many of those who pray say with their tongues what is not in their hearts?’ The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: ‘I have not been commanded to check people’s heart or split open heir bellies.’ Then he looked at him as he was going back and said: ‘From among the progeny of this man will emerge people who recite the book of Allah fluently, but it will not go any further than their throats. They will pass out of the religion as an arrow passes out of the prey. ’ He (one of the narrators) said: ‘I think he said: ‘If I live to see them, the I will certainly kill them like the killing of Thamud.’’’’’”
