Sahih al-Bukhari 4341

Translation

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Abu Musa and Muadh b. Jabal to Yemen. He said that he appointed each of them over a district, and that Yemen consisted of two districts. Then he said, “Make things easy and do not make them difficult; give glad tidings and do not drive people away.” Each of them then departed for his assignment. Whenever either of them traveled through his territory and came near his companion, he would renew contact with him and greet him. Muadh traveled through his territory near his companion Abu Musa and came riding his mule until he reached him. Abu Musa was seated with the people gathered around him, and there was a man beside him whose hands had been bound to his neck. Muadh said to him, “O Abdullah b. Qays, what is the matter with this man?” He replied, “This is a man who disbelieved after accepting Islam.” Muadh said, “I will not dismount until he is killed.” He replied, “He was brought here precisely for that, so dismount.” Muadh said, “I will not dismount until he is killed.” Abu Musa ordered that the man be killed, and then Muadh dismounted. Muadh said, “O Abdullah, how do you recite the Quran?” He replied, “I recite it at intervals.” He asked, “And how do you recite, O Muadh?” Muadh replied, “I sleep during the first part of the night, then rise after receiving my allotted share of sleep and recite whatever Allah has prescribed for me. I seek reward for my sleep just as I seek reward for my standing in prayer.”
