حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ: نَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، قَالَ: نَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ قَالَ:
بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ عَلَى سَرِيَّةٍ، وَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يُطِيعُوهُ، فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي شَيْءٍ، فَقَالَ: أَلَيْسَ قَدْ أَمَرَكُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ تُطِيعُونِي ؟ قَالُوا: بَلَى، قَالَ: فَاجْمَعُوا حَطَبًا، فَجَمَعُوا حَطَبًا، ثُمَّ دَعَا بِنَارٍ، فَأَضْرَمَهَا فِي الْحَطَبِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: عَزَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ لَتَدْخُلُنَّهَا، فَهَمَّ الْقَوْمُ بِذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ شَابٌّ مِنْ أَحْدَثِهِمْ: لَا تَعْجَلُوا أَنْ تَدْخُلُوا النَّارَ، فَإِنَّمَا فَرَرْتُمْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ النَّارِ، حَتَّى تَأْتُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، فَإِنْ أَمَرَكُمْ أَنْ تَدْخُلُوا فَادْخُلُوا، فَأَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرُوا بِذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: لَوْ دَخَلْتُمُوهَا مَا خَرَجْتُمْ مِنْهَا أَبَدًا.

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ sent a man from the Ansar on a military expedition and ordered them to obey him. When he went out, he became angry with them over something and said: Did not the Messenger of God ﷺ order you to obey me? They said: Yes. He said: Gather firewood. They gathered firewood, then he called for fire and set it ablaze in the wood, then said: I adjure you to enter it. The people were about to do that when a young man among their youngest said to them: Do not rush to enter the fire; you only fled to the Messenger of God ﷺ from the fire. Wait until you come to the Messenger of God ﷺ; if he orders you to enter, then enter. So they came to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned that to him. He said: Had you entered it, you would never have come out of it.
