حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الزِّبْرِقَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُبَيْدَةَ، أَخْبَرَنِي هُودُ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ. عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ:
كَانَ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رَجُلٌ يُعْجِبُنَا تَعَبُّدُهُ وَاجْتِهَادُهُ، فَذَكَرْنَاهُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِاسْمِهِ فَلَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ، وَوَصَفْنَاهُ بِصِفَتِهِ فَلَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ، فَبَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ نَذْكُرُهُ إِذْ طَلَعَ الرَّجُلُ، قُلْنَا: هَا هُوَ ذَا، قَالَ: إِنَّكُمْ لَتُخْبِرُونِي عَنْ رَجُلٍ، إِنَّ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ سَفْعَةً مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَأَقْبَلَ حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَمْ يُسَلِّمْ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: أَنْشَدْتُكَ بِاللهِ هَلْ قُلْتَ حِينَ وَقَفْتَ عَلَى الْمَجْلِسِ: مَا فِي الْقَوْمِ أَحَدٌ أَفْضَلُ مِنِّي أَوْ أَخْيَرُ مِنِّي ؟ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ يُصَلِّي، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: مَنْ يَقْتُلُ الرَّجُلَ ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: أَنَا، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَوَجَدَهُ قَائِمًا يُصَلِّي، فَقَالَ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ أَقْتُلُ رَجُلًا يُصَلِّي، وَقَدْ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ قَتْلِ الْمُصَلِّينَ ؟ فَخَرَجَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: مَا فَعَلْتَ ؟ قَالَ: كَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَقْتُلَهُ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي، وَقَدْ نَهَيْتَ عَنْ قَتْلِ الْمُصَلِّينَ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: أَنَا، فَدَخَلَ فَوَجَدَهُ وَاضِعًا وَجْهَهُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَفْضَلُ مِنِّي، فَخَرَجَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: مَهْ ؟ قَالَ: وَجَدْتُهُ وَاضِعًا وَجْهَهُ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَقْتُلَهُ، فَقَالَ: مَنْ يَقْتُلُ الرَّجُلَ ؟ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ: أَنَا، قَالَ: أَنْتَ إِنْ أَدْرَكْتَهُ، قَالَ: فَدَخَلَ عَلِيٌّ فَوَجَدَهُ قَدْ خَرَجَ، فَرَجَعَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: مَهْ ؟ قَالَ: وَجَدْتُهُ قَدْ خَرَجَ، قَالَ: لَوْ قُتِلَ مَا اخْتَلَفَ فِي أُمَّتِي رَجُلَانِ، كَانَ أَوَّلَهُمْ وَآخِرَهُمْ، قَالَ مُوسَى: سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ كَعْبٍ، يَقُولُ: هُوَ الَّذِي قَتَلَهُ عَلِيٌّ، ذَا الثُّدَيَّةِ

✧ In the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ there was a man whose devotion and striving impressed us. We mentioned him to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ by name, but he did not recognize him. We described him by his appearance, but he did not recognize him. While we were mentioning him, the man appeared. We said: Here he is. He said: You are telling me about a man on whose face there is a mark from Satan. He came forward and stood by them without greeting. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: I adjure you by Allah, did you say when you stood by the gathering: There is no one among the people better or more virtuous than I? He said: O Allah, yes. Then he entered to pray. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Who will kill the man? Abu Bakr said: I will. He entered upon him and found him standing in prayer. He said: Glory be to Allah, should I kill a man who is praying when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has prohibited killing those who pray? He came out. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: What did you do? He said: I disliked killing him while he was praying, and you have prohibited killing those who pray. Umar said: I will. He entered and found him prostrating with his face on the ground. Umar said: Abu Bakr is better than me. He came out. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: What happened? He said: I found him prostrating, and I disliked killing him. He said: Who will kill the man? Ali said: I will. He said: You, if you catch him. Ali entered and found that he had left. He returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: What happened? He said: I found that he had left. He said: If he had been killed, no two men in my community would have differed. He was the first and the last of them. Musa said: I heard Muhammad b. Ka'b saying: He is the one whom Ali killed, Dhu al-Thudayya.
