3715. Rib'i bin Ḥirāsh said: "At Ar-Raḥbah, 'Ali narrated to us: 'On the Day of (the Pledge of) Hudaibiyah, some people from the idolaters came out to us. Among them was Suhail bin 'Amr, and some people among the heads of the idolaters. They said: "O Messenger of Allāh! People among our fathers, brothers, and slaves have come to you, and they have no knowledge of the religion, rather they came fleeing from our wealth and property, so return
them to us. If they do not have knowledge of the religion, then we will teach them.” So the Prophet ﷺ said: “O people of Quraish, you will desist, or Allāh will send upon you one who will chop your necks with the sword over the religion. Allāh has tested their hearts regarding faith.” They said: “Who is he O Messenger of Allāh?” Abū Bakr said to him: “Who is he O Messenger of Allāh?” ‘Umar said to him: “Who is he O Messenger of Allāh? He said: “He is the one repairing the sandals.” – And he had given ‘Alī his sandals to repair them. – He said: “Then ‘Alī turned to us and said: ‘Indeed the Messenger ﷺ said: “Whoever lies upon me intentionally, then let him take his seat in the Fire.”” (Da’if)
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahīh Gharīb. We do not know of it except through this route as a narration of Rib‘ī from ‘Ali.
