أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ قَالَ
بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ مَجَزَرٍ الْمُدْلِجِيَّ عَلَى بَعْثٍ أَنَا فِيهِمْ فَخَرَجْنَا حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا عَلَى رَأْسِ غَزَاتِنَا أَوْ فِي بَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ اسْتَأْذَنَتْهُ طَائِفَةٌ فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ وَأَمَرَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنِ حُذَافَةَ السَّهْمِيَّ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ بَدْرٍ وَكَانَتْ فِيهِ دُعَابَةٌ فَكُنْتُ فِيمَنْ رَجَعَ مَعَهُ فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ نَزَلْنَا مَنْزِلًا وَأَوْقَدَ الْقَوْمُ نَارًا يَصْطَلُونَ بِهَا أَوْ يَصْنَعُونَ عَلَيْهَا صَنِيعًا لَهُمْ إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ حُذَافَةَ أَلَيْسَ لِي عَلَيْكُمُ السَّمْعُ وَالطَّاعَةُ؟ قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ فَأَنَا آمُرُكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ أَلَا فَعَلْتُمُوهُ؟ قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ فَإِنِّي أَعَزِمُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِحَقِّي وَطَاعَتِي إِلَّا تَوَاثَبْتُمْ فِي هَذِهِ النَّارِ قَالَ فَقَامَ نَاسٌ حَتَّى إِذَا ظَنَّ أَنَّهُمْ وَاثِبُونَ فِيهَا قَالَ أَمْسِكُوا عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْفُسَكُمْ إِنَّمَا كُنْتُ أَضْحَكُ مَعَكُمْ فَلَمَّا قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ أَمَرَكُمْ بِمَعْصِيَةٍ فَلَا تُطِيعُوهُ»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent 'Alqamah b. Mujazziz al-Mudliji on an expedition, and I was among them. We set out until when we were at the start of our campaign or on part of the road, a group sought permission from him and he gave them permission, and he appointed over them 'Abd Allah b. Hudhafah al-Sahmi, who was one of the Companions of Badr and had a sense of humor. I was among those who returned with him. While we were on the road, we stopped at a place and the people kindled a fire to warm themselves by it or to prepare something for themselves. Then 'Abd Allah b. Hudhafah said to them: 'Do I not have over you the right of hearing and obedience?' They said: 'Yes.' He said: 'So I command you to something – will you not do it?' They said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Verily I adjure you by my right and your obedience that you leap into this fire.' He said: Some people stood up until he thought they were about to leap into it. Then he said: 'Restrain yourselves. I was only joking with you.' When they came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, they mentioned that to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever commands you to disobedience, do not obey him.'
