وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْعَوَّامُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي طَلْحَةُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ؓ قَالَ:
مَرَّ رَجُلٌ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا فِيهِ وَأَثْنَوْا عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: مَنْ يَقْتُلُهُ ؟ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ: أَنَا، فَانْطَلَقَ فَوَجَدَهُ قَائِمًا يُصَلِّي قَدْ خَطَّ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ خِطَّةً، فَرَجَعَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ وَلَمْ يَقْتُلْهُ لَمَّا رَآهُ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْحَالِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: مَنْ يَقْتُلُهُ ؟ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ: أَنَا، فَذَهَبَ فَرَآهُ فِي خُطَّتِهِ قَائِمًا يُصَلِّي فَرَجَعَ وَلَمْ يَقْتُلْهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ: مَنْ يَقْتُلُهُ ؟ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ: أَنَا فَقَالَ ﷺ: أَنْتَ وَلَا أَرَاكَ تُدْرِكُهُ قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقَ فَوَجَدَهُ قَدْ ذَهَبَ
