حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ، قَالَ: نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْبُخَارِيُّ قَالَ: نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ دِينَارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ. عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
يَا مُحَمَّدُ، إِذَا رَأَيْتَ النَّاسَ يَقْتَتِلُونَ عَلَى الدُّنْيَا فَاعْمِدْ بِسَيْفِكَ عَلَى أَعْظَمِ صَخْرَةٍ فِي الْحَرَّةِ، فَاضْرِبْ بِهَا، حَتَّى يَنْكَسِرَ، ثُمَّ اجْلِسْ فِي بَيْتِكَ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَكَ يَدٌ خَاطِئَةٌ أَوْ مَنِيَّةٌ قَاضِيَةٌ. فَفَعَلْتُ مَا أَمَرَنِي بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ

✧ O Muhammad, when you see people fighting over worldly gains, then strike your sword against the largest rock in the Harrah, strike it until it breaks, then sit in your house until an erring hand comes to you or a decreed death. So I did what the Prophet ﷺ commanded me.
