أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ زُبَيْدٍ الْأَيَامِيِّ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ جَيْشًا وَأَمَّرَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَجُلًا فَأَوْقَدَ نَارًا فَقَالَ ادْخُلُوهَا فَأَرَادَ نَاسٌ أَنْ يَدْخُلُوهَا وَقَالَ الْآخَرُونَ إِنَّمَا فَرَرْنَا مِنْهَا فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِلَّذِينَ أَرَادُوا أَنْ يَدْخُلُوهَا «لَوْ دَخَلْتُمُوهَا لَمْ تَزَالُوا فِيهَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ» وَقَالَ لِلْآخَرِينَ خَيْرًا وَقَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَوْلًا حَسَنًا

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent out an army and placed a man in command over them. He lit a fire and said: “Enter it.” Some people wanted to enter it, while others said: “We only fled from it.” That was mentioned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said to those who wanted to enter it: “If you had entered it, you would have remained in it until the Day of Resurrection.” And he said something good to the others. Ibn al-Muthannā said: “a good word.”
