وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ هُوَ الْمُزَنِيُّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
مَنْ يَذْهَبُ بِهَذَا الْكِتَابِ إِلَى قَيْصَرَ وَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ ؟ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: وَإِنْ لَمْ يُقْتَلْ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: وَإِنْ لَمْ يُقْتَلْ فَانْطَلَقَ الرَّجُلُ، فَأَتَاهُ بِالْكِتَابِ فَقَرَأَهُ، فَقَالَ: اذْهَبْ إِلَى نَبِيِّكُمْ فَأَخْبِرْهُ أَنِّي مُتَّبِعُهُ، وَلَكِنْ لَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَدَعَ مُلْكِي، وَبَعَثَ مَعَهُ بِدَنَانِيرَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَرَجَعَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: كَذَبَ، وَقَسَّمَ الدَّنَانِيرَ

✧ Who will take this letter to Caesar and for him is Paradise? A man said: 'Even if he is not killed?' He ﷺ said: 'Even if he is not killed.' The man went and brought him the letter. He read it and said: 'Go to your Prophet and tell him that I am his follower, but I do not wish to give up my kingdom.' He sent with him dinars to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He returned and informed him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'He has lied,' and he distributed the dinars.
