3344. Narrated Abū Sa'īd رضي الله عنه: 'Alisent a piece of gold to the Prophet ﷺ whodistributed it among four persons: Al-Aqra'bin Hābis Al-Ḥanẓālī from the tribe ofMujāshīrī, 'Uyaina bin Badr Al-Fazārī, ZaidAṭ-Ṭa'ī who belonged to (the tribe of) BaniNabhān, and 'Alqama bin 'Ulāḥa Al-'Āmirīwho belonged to (the tribe of) Bani Kilāb.So, the Quraish and the Anṣār became angryand said, "He (i.e., the Prophet ﷺ) gives tothe chiefs of Najd and does not give us." TheProphet ﷺ said, "(I give them) so as toattract their hearts (to Islām)." Then a manwith sunken eyes, prominent cheeks, a raisedforehead, a thick beard and a shaven headcame (in front of the Prophet ﷺ) and said,"Be afraid of Allāh, O Muḥammad!" TheProphet ﷺ said "Who would obey Allāh if Idisobeyed Him? (Is it fair that) Allāh hastrusted all the people of the earth to mewhile, you do not trust me?" Somebody,who, I think was Khalid bin Al-Walīd,requested the Prophet ﷺ to let him chopthat man's head off, but he prevented him.When the man left, the Prophet ﷺ said,"Among the offspring of this man will besome who will recite the Qur'ān, but theQur'ān will not reach beyond their throats(i.e., they will recite like parrots and will not understand it nor act on it), and they will renegade from the religion (i.e., discard Islām) as an arrow goes out through the game's body. They will kill the Muslims but will leave the idolaters. If I should live up to their time I will kill them as the people of 'Ād were killed (i.e., I will kill all of them)".

3344 - قَالَ: وَقَالَ ابْنُ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي نُعْمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: بَعَثَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِذُهَيْبَةٍ فَقَسَمَهَا بَيْنَ الأَرْبَعَةِ الأَقْرَعِ بْنِ حَابِسٍ الحَنْظَلِيِّ، ثُمَّ المُجَاشِعِيِّ، وَعُيَيْنَةَ بْنِ بَدْرٍ الفَزَارِيِّ، وَزَيْدٍ الطَّائِيِّ، ثُمَّ أَحَدِ بَنِي نَبْهَانَ، وَعَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ عُلاَثَةَ العَامِرِيِّ، ثُمَّ أَحَدِ بَنِي كِلاَبٍ، فَغَضِبَتْ قُرَيْشٌ، وَالأَنْصَارُ، قَالُوا: يُعْطِي صَنَادِيدَ أَهْلِ نَجْدٍ وَيَدَعُنَا، قَالَ: «إِنَّمَا أَتَأَلَّفُهُمْ». فَأَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ غَائِرُ العَيْنَيْنِ، مُشْرِفُ الوَجْنَتَيْنِ، نَاتِئُ الجَبِينِ، كَثُّ اللِّحْيَةِ مَحْلُوقٌ، فَقَالَ: اتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ، فَقَالَ: «مَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ إِذَا عَصَيْتُ؟ أَيَأْمَنُنِي اللَّهُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ فَلاَ تَأْمَنُونِي» فَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ قَتْلَهُ، - أَحْسِبُهُ خَالِدَ بْنَ الوَلِيدِ - فَمَنَعَهُ، فَلَمَّا وَلَّى قَالَ: " إِنَّ مِنْ ضِئْضِئِ هَذَا، أَوْ: فِي عَقِبِ هَذَا قَوْمًا يَقْرَءُونَ القُرْآنَ لاَ يُجَاوِزُ حَنَاجِرَهُمْ، يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ مُرُوقَ السَّهْمِ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ، يَقْتُلُونَ أَهْلَ الإِسْلاَمِ وَيَدَعُونَ أَهْلَ الأَوْثَانِ، لَئِنْ أَنَا أَدْرَكْتُهُمْ لَأَقْتُلَنَّهُمْ قَتْلَ عَادٍ "
