قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْمَوْصِلِيُّ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا سَيْفُ بْنُ هَارُونَ الْبُرْجُمِيُّ، عَنْ عِصْمَةَ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الْفَزَعُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الْمُنَقَّعُ قَالَ:
قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِصَدَقَةِ إِبِلِنَا فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَذِهِ صَدَقَةُ إِبِلِنَا قَالَ: فَأَمَرَ بِهَا ﷺ فَقُسِمَتْ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ فِيهَا مَا بَيْنَ هَدِيَّةٍ لَكَ وَصَدَقَةٍ، قَالَ: فَعَزَلْتُ الْهَدِيَّةَ عَنِ الصَّدَقَةِ فَمَكَثْتُ أَيَّامًا وَخَاضَ النَّاسُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَاعِثٌ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ ؓ إِلَى رَقِيقِ مِصْرَ فَمُصَدِّقُهُمْ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: إِنَّ لَنَا لَغِنًى، وَمَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِي مِنْ مَالٍ أَفَلَا أُصَدِّقُهُمْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقْدَمَ عَلَيَّ، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَإِذْ هُوَ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ وَمَعَهُ أَسْوَدُ قَدْ حَاذَى رَأْسَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا مِنَ النَّاسِ أَطْوَلَ مِنْهُ، فَلَمَّا دَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ هَوَى إِلَيَّ، قَالَ: فَكَفَّهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ النَّاسَ خَاضُوا أَنَّكَ بَاعِثٌ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ ؓ إِلَى رَقِيقَ مِصْرَ فَمُصَدِّقُهُمْ. قَالَ: فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى رَأَيْنَا بَيَاضَ إِبْطَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي لَا أُحِلُّ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَكْذِبُوا عَلَيِّ. قَالَ الْمُنَقَّعُ: فَمَا حَدَّثْتُ حَدِيثًا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَّا حَدِيثًا نَطَقَ بِهِ كِتَابٌ أَوْ أَخْبَرَتْ بِهِ سُنَّةٌ، يُكْذَبُ عَلَيْهِ فِي حَيَاتِهِ، فَكَيْفَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ ﷺ ؟

✧ I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with the charity of our camels and said: O Messenger of Allah, this is the charity of our camels. He said: So he ordered it ﷺ and it was distributed. He said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, in it there is what is between a gift for you and charity. He said: So I set aside the gift from the charity, and I stayed for some days. The people talked that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sending Khalid b. al-Walid ؓ to the slaves of Egypt as their charity collector. He said: I said: We have wealth, and my family has no property, so should I not give their charity before he comes to me? So I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he was on a she-camel, and with him was a black man who had aligned his head with the head of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ; I have never seen anyone among the people taller than him. When I approached him, he leaned toward me. He said: The Prophet ﷺ restrained him. I said: O Messenger of Allah, the people have talked that you are sending Khalid b. al-Walid ؓ to the slaves of Egypt as their charity collector. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his hands until we saw the whiteness of his armpits, then said: O Allah, I do not make it lawful for them to lie about me. Al-Munaqqa' said: I have never narrated a hadith from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ except a hadith that the Book spoke of or a Sunnah informed of. He is lied about during his lifetime, so how about after his death ﷺ?
