[4308] 35 - (...) It was narrated that Abū Mas'ūd Al-Anṣārī said: "I was beating a slave of mine, and I heard a voice behind me (saying): 'You should realize, Abū Mas'ūd, that Allāh has more power over you than you have over him.' I turned around, and I saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, he is free for the Face of Allâh.' He said: 'If you had not done that, the Fire would have scorched you,' or 'the Fire would have touched you.'"
35 - (1659) وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَضْرِبُ غُلَامًا لِي، فَسَمِعْتُ مِنْ خَلْفِي صَوْتًا: «اعْلَمْ، أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ، لَلَّهُ أَقْدَرُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْكَ عَلَيْهِ»، فَالْتَفَتُّ فَإِذَا هُوَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، هُوَ حُرٌّ لِوَجْهِ اللهِ، فَقَالَ: «أَمَا لَوْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ لَلَفَحَتْكَ النَّارُ»، أَوْ «لَمَسَّتْكَ النَّارُ»
