4210. It was narrated from Abū ‘Abdur-Rahmân from ‘Alî that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ sent an army and appointed a man in charge of them. He lit a fire and said: “Enter it.” Some people wanted to enter it, and others said: “We are trying to keep away from it.” They mentioned that to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, and he said to those who had wanted to enter it: “If you had entered it you would have stayed there until the Day of Resurrection.” And he spoke good words to the others. And he said: “There is no obedience if it involves disobedience toward Allâh. Rather obedience is only (required) in that which is good.” (Sahîh)

Arabic text

٤٢٠٥ - أَخْبَرَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، ‌وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ ‌زُبَيْدٍ الْإِيَامِيِّ ، عَنْ ‌سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ ‌عَلِيٍّ: «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ جَيْشًا وَأَمَّرَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَجُلًا، فَأَوْقَدَ نَارًا، فَقَالَ: ادْخُلُوهَا، فَأَرَادَ نَاسٌ أَنْ يَدْخُلُوهَا، وَقَالَ الْآخَرُونَ: إِنَّمَا فَرَرْنَا مِنْهَا، فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لِلَّذِينَ أَرَادُوا أَنْ يَدْخُلُوهَا: لَوْ دَخَلْتُمُوهَا لَمْ تَزَالُوا فِيهَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَقَالَ لِلْآخَرِينَ خَيْرًا». وَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَوْلًا حَسَنًا، وَقَالَ: لَا طَاعَةَ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللهِ، إِنَّمَا الطَّاعَةُ فِي الْمَعْرُوفِ.

Commentary

‘You would have remained it fire until the Day of Resurrection’ means they would have been punished in their graves.
