English translation

3987. It was narrated that An-Nu'mân bin Sâlim said: "I heard Aws say: 'I came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ among the delegation of Thaqîf and I was with him in a tent. Everyone in the tent had gone to sleep except him and I. A man came and whispered to him, and he said: Go and kill him. Then he said: Does he not bear witness to Lâ ilâha illallâh (there is none worthy of worship except Allâh) and that I am the Messenger of Allâh? He said: He does bear witness to that. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: Leave him alone. Then he said: I have been commanded to fight the people until they say Lâ ilâha illallâh. If they say it, then their blood and their wealth become forbidden to me, except for a right that is due. (One of the narrators) Muhammad said: I said to Shu'bah: 'Doesn't the Hadîth contain: Does he not testify to Lâ ilâha illallâh (there is none worthy of worship except Allâh) and that I am the Messenger of Allâh?' He said: 'I think it is both, but I do not know.'" (Sahîh)

3982 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَوْسًا يَقُولُ: أَتَيْتُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي وَفْدِ ثَقِيفٍ، فَكُنْتُ مَعَهُ فِي قُبَّةٍ، فَنَامَ مَنْ كَانَ فِي الْقُبَّةِ غَيْرِي وَغَيْرُهُ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ، فَسَارَّهُ، فَقَالَ: «اذْهَبْ فَاقْتُلْهُ»، فَقَالَ: «أَلَيْسَ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ؟» قَالَ: يَشْهَدُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «ذَرْهُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ: " أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، فَإِذَا قَالُوهَا حَرُمَتْ دِمَاؤُهُمْ وَأَمْوَالُهُمْ، إِلَّا بِحَقِّهَا " قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ: فَقُلْتُ لِشُعْبَةَ: أَلَيْسَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ أَلَيْسَ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: «أَظُنُّهَا مَعَهَا، وَلَا أَدْرِي»
