English translation

[7040] 14 - (2781) It was narrated that Anas bin Mâlik said: "Among us there was a man from Banû Al-Najjâr who had read Al-Baqarah and Âl 'Imrân, and he used to write for the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. He ran away and joined the people of the Book, and they held him in high regard, and they said: 'This man used to write for Muḥammad, and they liked him.' Before long, Allâh caused him to die among them, and they dug a grave for him and buried him. The next morning the earth had thrown him out, so they dug a grave and buried him again. The next day the earth had thrown him out, so they dug a grave and buried him again. The next day the earth had thrown him out. So they left him unburied."

Arabic text

14 - (2781) حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ وَهُو ابْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: " كَانَ مِنَّا رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي النَّجَّارِ قَدْ قَرَأَ الْبَقَرَةَ وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ وَكَانَ يَكْتُبُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَانْطَلَقَ هَارِبًا حَتَّى لَحِقَ بِأَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ، قَالَ: فَرَفَعُوهُ، قَالُوا: هَذَا قَدْ كَانَ يَكْتُبُ لِمُحَمَّدٍ فَأُعْجِبُوا بِهِ، فَمَا لَبِثَ أَنْ قَصَمَ اللهُ عُنُقَهُ فِيهِمْ، فَحَفَرُوا لَهُ فَوَارَوْهُ، فَأَصْبَحَتِ الْأَرْضُ قَدْ نَبَذَتْهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا، ثُمَّ عَادُوا فَحَفَرُوا لَهُ، فَوَارَوْهُ فَأَصْبَحَتِ الْأَرْضُ قَدْ نَبَذَتْهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا، ثُمَّ عَادُوا فَحَفَرُوا لَهُ، فَوَارَوْهُ فَأَصْبَحَتِ الْأَرْضُ قَدْ نَبَذَتْهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا، فَتَرَكُوهُ مَنْبُوذًا "
