حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ قَالَ وَعَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ عُلاَثَةَ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ عَامِرَ بْنَ الطُّفَيْلِ وَقَالَ نَاتِئُ الْجَبْهَةِ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ نَاشِزُ. وَزَادَ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ - رضى الله عنه - فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلاَ أَضْرِبُ عُنُقَهُ قَالَ « لاَ ». قَالَ ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ خَالِدٌ سَيْفُ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلاَ أَضْرِبُ عُنُقَهُ قَالَ « لاَ ». فَقَالَ « إِنَّهُ سَيَخْرُجُ مِنْ ضِئْضِئِ هَذَا قَوْمٌ يَتْلُونَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ لَيِّنًا رَطْبًا - وَقَالَ قَالَ عُمَارَةُ حَسِبْتُهُ قَالَ « لَئِنْ أَدْرَكْتُهُمْ لأَقْتُلَنَّهُمْ قَتْلَ ثَمُودَ ».

It was narrated from Umarah bin Al-Qaqa with this chain (a similar Hadith as no 2452), and he said… and Alqamah bin Ulathah, and he did not mention Amir bin At-Tufail. And he said: ‘Prominent forehead,’ he did not say: ‘High.’ And he added: “” Umar bin Al-Khattab [may Allah pleased with him] stood up and said: ‘’O Messenger of Allah (SAW), shall I not strike his neck? He said: ‘No.’ Then he turned away and Khalid the Sword of Allah , stood up and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah (SAW), shall I not strike his neck?’ He said: ‘No. From among the progeny of this man will emerge people, who recite the Book of Allah fluently.’ And Umarah said: ‘I think he said: ‘If I live to see them, the I will certainly kill them like the killing of Thamud.’’
