"عن أبى سعيد قال: قال عليُّ بنُ أبى طالب أتَيْتُ رسُول الله ﷺ (بذهبة في تربتها)، وَكَانَ بَعَثَهُ مصَدِّقًا على اليَمَن، فَقَال: اقْسمها بَيْن أرْبَعَة: بَيْن الأقْرعِ بن حَابِسٍ، وَزَيد الخَيْل الطَّائى، وعُيَينَةَ بنِ حصن الفَزَارِيِّ، وعَلْقَمة بن علاثة العَامِرىِّ! فقام رجل غائر العَيْنَيْنِ، نَاتِئُ الجَبين، مُشْرفُ الجَبْهَةِ مَحلُوقُ الرَّأس، فَقَال: والله مَا عَدلتَ، فقال: ويْلَكَ! مَنْ يَعْدِلُ إذَا لَم أَعْدِلْ؟ إنَّما أتألفُهم، فَأقْبلُوا عَليهِ ليقْتُلُوهُ، فَقَالَ: اتركوه! فَإِنَ من ضِئضئِ هَذَا قَوْمًا يخرجُون فِى آخِر الرمًان يَقْتُلُونَ أهْلَ الإسْلام، وَيتْركُون أَهْل الأوْثَانِ، لئن أدركْتهم قَتَلتهم قَتْل عَادٍ ".

"From Abu Sa'id, who said: 'Ali ibn Abi Talib said: I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with gold in its ore, and he had sent him as collector to Yemen. He said: Divide it among four: between al-Aqra' ibn Habis, Zayd al-Khayl al-Ta'i, 'Uyaynah ibn Hisn al-Fazari, and 'Alqamah ibn 'Ulathah al-'Amiri. A man with sunken eyes, prominent cheeks, a raised forehead, and a shaved head stood up and said: By Allah, you have not been just! He said: Woe to you! Who would be just if I am not just? I only seek to win their hearts. Then his companions turned on him to kill him, but he said: Leave him! For from the offspring of this man there will be a people who recite the Quran but it does not pass beyond their throats. They will kill the people of Islam and leave the people of idols. If I reach them, I will kill them with the killing of 'Ad."
