حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ فُرَاتٍ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ ثنا عَوْنُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ قَالَ
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ نَائِمٌ أَوْ يُوحَى إِلَيْهِ وَإِذَا حَيَّةٌ فِي جَانِبِ الْبَيْتِ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَقْتُلَهَا فَأُوقِظَهُ فَاضْطَجَعْتُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْحَيَّةِ فَإِنْ كَانَ شَيْءٌ كَانَ بِي دُونَهُ فَاسْتَيْقَظَ وَهُوَ يَتْلُو هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {إِنَّمَا وَلِيُّكُمُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا} الْآيَةَ قَالَ «الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ» فَرَآنِي إِلَى جَانِبِهِ فَقَالَ «مَا أَضْجَعَكَ هَهُنَا؟» قُلْتُ لِمَكَانِ هَذِهِ الْحَيَّةِ قَالَ «قُمْ إِلَيْهَا فَاقْتُلْهَا» فَقَتَلْتُهَا فَحَمِدَ اللهَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَقَالَ «يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ سَيَكُونُ بَعْدِي قَوْمٌ يُقَاتِلُونَ عَلِيًّا حَقًّا عَلَى اللهِ جِهَادُهُمْ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ جِهَادَهُمْ بِيَدِهِ فَبِلِسَانِهِ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ بِلِسَانِهِ فَبِقَلْبِهِ لَيْسَ وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ شَيْءٌ»

✧ I entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was sleeping or receiving revelation, and there was a snake in the side of the house. I disliked killing it and waking him, so I lay down between him and the snake, so that if anything happened it would be to me rather than him. He woke up while reciting this verse: {Your guardian is only Allah and His Messenger and those who believe} up to the end of the verse. He said: "Praise be to Allah." Then he saw me beside him and said: "What made you lie down here?" I said: "Because of this snake." He said: "Get up to it and kill it." So I killed it, and he praised Allah. Then he took my hand and said: "O Abu Rafi', there will be after me people who fight 'Ali; it is a duty upon Allah to fight them. Whoever cannot fight them with his hand, then with his tongue; whoever cannot with his tongue, then with his heart. There is nothing beyond that."
