أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ فِي حَدِيثِهِ عَنْ أَبِي الأَحْوَصِ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنْ قَابُوسَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ح وَأَخْبَرَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ تَمِيمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ عَنْ قَابُوسَ بْنِ مُخَارِقٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ يَأْتِينِي فَيُرِيدُ مَالِي قَالَ ذَكِّرْهُ بِاللَّهِ قَالَ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَذَّكَّرْ قَالَ فَاسْتَعِنْ عَلَيْهِ مَنْ حَوْلَكَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَالَ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ حَوْلِي أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَالَ فَاسْتَعِنْ عَلَيْهِ بِالسُّلْطَانِ قَالَ فَإِنْ نَأَى السُّلْطَانُ عَنِّي قَالَ قَاتِلْ دُونَ مَالِكَ حَتَّى تَكُونَ مِنْ شُهَدَاءِ الآخِرَةِ أَوْ تَمْنَعَ مَالَكَ

"I heard Sufyan Ath-Thawri narrating this Hadith. He said: 'A man came to the Prophet [SAW] and said: "What if a man comes to me and wants to take my wealth?" He said: "Remind him of Allah." He said: "What if he pays no heed?" He said: "Seek the help of the Muslims around you against him." He said: "What if there are no Muslims around me?" He said: "Seek the help of the ruler against him." He said: "What if the ruler is far away from me?" He said: "Fight to defend your wealth until you either become one of the martyrs of the Hereafter, or you protect your wealth (successfully)."

هذا حديث يرويه سماك بن حرب واختلف عليه فرواه عمار بن رزيق وأبو الأحوص وأيوب بن جابر والوليد بن أبي ثور عن سماك عن قابوس عن أبيه ورواه الثوري وحماد بن سلمة عن سماك عن قابوس مرسلا لم يقولا عن أبيه والمسند أصح
machine translationThis is a hadith narrated by Simāk b. Ḥarb, and there is disagreement about it from him. ʿAmmār b. Ruzayq, Abū al-Aḥwaṣ, Ayyūb b. Jābir and al-Walīd b. Abī Thawr narrated it from Simāk, from Qābūs, from his father. Al-Thawrī and Ḥammād b. Salamah narrated it from Simāk, from Qābūs as a mursal report, without saying "from his father." The musnad version is more sound (aṣaḥḥ).
