[2451] 143 - (1064) It was narrated that Abû Sa'eed Al-Khudrî said: "While he was in Yemen, 'Alî [may Allâh be pleased with him] sent some gold, still encased in earth, to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ distributed it among four men, Al-Aqra' bin Hâbis Al-Hanzalî, 'Uyaynah bin Badr Al-Fazârî, 'Alqamah bin 'Ulâthah Al-Âmirî who was one of Banû Kilâb, and Zaid Al-Khair Aṭ-Ṭa'î who was one of Banû Nabhân. The Quraish got angry and said: 'He gives to the chiefs of Najd and ignores us?' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'I only did that in order to incline their hearts (towards faith).' There came a man with a thick beard, prominent cheeks, sunken eyes, a prominent forehead and a shaven
head, who said: 'Fear Allâh, O Muhammad!' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Who will obey Allâh if I disobey Him? Would He trust me with the people of earth but you do not trust me?' Then the man turned and left, and a man who was among the people asked for permission to kill him" - they think that he was Khâlid bin Al-Walîd - "then the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Among the progeny of this man will be people who will recite the Qur'ân, but it will not go any further than their throats. They will kill the people of Islam and leave the idol-worshippers alone. They will pass through Islam as an arrow passes through the prey. If I live to see them, then I will certainly kill them like 'Âd.'"
