- حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَتِيقٍ، وَأَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ:
( إِنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ ؓ كَانَ يُصَلِّي، فَمَرَّ الْحَارِثُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ - أَوْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَمُرَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ - حَتَّى هَمَّ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ شَعَرَهُ، فَشَكَى الْحَارِثُ إِلَى مَرْوَانَ، فَجَاءَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ إِلَى مَرْوَانَ، فَقَالَ مَرْوَانُ: إِنَّكُمْ إِنْ أَطَعْتُمْ هَذَا وَأَصْحَابَهُ لَيُهَوِّدُنَّكُمْ. فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ ؓ: [قَدْ] كَذَبْتَ وَاللهِ، لَوْ تَهَوَّدْتَ أَنْتَ وَأَبُوكَ مَا تَهَوَّدْنَا مَعَكُمَا ). قَالَ أَيُّوبُ: قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ: صَدَقَ، قَدْ عُرِضَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الْيَهُودِيَّةُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَأَبَوْهَا

✧ (Abu Sa'id ؓ was praying when al-Harith passed in front of him – or wanted to pass in front of him – until he was about to grab his hair. Al-Harith complained to Marwan, so Abu Sa'id came to Marwan, and Marwan said: "If you obey this man and his companions, they will surely turn you into Jews." Abu Sa'id ؓ said: "[You] have lied, by Allah. If you and your father became Jews, we would not become Jews with you.") Ayyub said: Muhammad said: "He spoke the truth. Judaism was offered to them in pre-Islamic times and they refused it."
