عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الخُدْرِيَّ رَضيَ اللهُ عنهُ قَالَ: بَعَثَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ اليَمَنِ بِذُهَيْبَةٍ فِي أَدِيمٍ مَقْرُوظٍ، لَمْ تُحَصَّلْ مِنْ تُرَابِهَا، قَالَ: فَقَسَمَهَا بَيْنَ أَرْبَعَةِ نَفَرٍ، بَيْنَ عُيَيْنَةَ بْنِ بَدْرٍ وَأَقْرَعَ بْنِ حابِسٍ وَزَيْدِ الخَيْلِ، وَالرَّابِعُ: إِمَّا عَلْقَمَةُ وَإِمَّا عَامِرُ بْنُ الطُّفَيْلِ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ: كُنَّا نَحْنُ أَحَقَّ بِهَذَا مِنْ هَؤُلاَءِ، قَالَ: فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «أَلاَ تَأْمَنُونِي وَأَنَا أَمِينُ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ، يَأْتِينِي خَبَرُ السَّمَاءِ صَبَاحًا وَمَسَاءً»، قَالَ: فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ غَائِرُ العَيْنَيْنِ، مُشْرِفُ الوَجْنَتَيْنِ، نَاشِزُ الجَبْهَةِ، كَثُّ اللِّحْيَةِ، مَحْلُوقُ الرَّأْسِ، مُشَمَّرُ الإِزَارِ، فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ، قَالَ: «وَيْلَكَ، أَوَلَسْتُ أَحَقَّ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ أَنْ يَتَّقِيَ اللَّهَ» قَالَ: ثُمَّ وَلَّى الرَّجُلُ، قَالَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الوَلِيدِ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَلاَ أَضْرِبُ عُنُقَهُ؟ قَالَ: «لاَ، لَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ يُصَلِّي» فَقَالَ خَالِدٌ: وَكَمْ مِنْ مُصَلٍّ يَقُولُ بِلِسَانِهِ مَا لَيْسَ فِي قَلْبِهِ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنِّي لَمْ أُومَرْ أَنْ أَنْقُبَ عَنْ قُلُوبِ النَّاسِ وَلاَ أَشُقَّ بُطُونَهُمْ» قَالَ: ثُمَّ نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ مُقَفٍّ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّهُ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ ضِئْضِئِ هَذَا قَوْمٌ يَتْلُونَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ رَطْبًا، لاَ يُجَاوِزُ حَنَاجِرَهُمْ، يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ»، وَأَظُنُّهُ قَالَ: «لَئِنْ أَدْرَكْتُهُمْ لَأَقْتُلَنَّهُمْ قَتْلَ ثَمُودَ».
Kutoka kwa Abuu Saidi Al-Kudry -radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake- amesema: Alituma Dhahabu Ally bin Abii Twalib kwenda kwa Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake kutokea Yemen, ikiwa ndani ya kipande cha ngozi iliyochubuliwa, ambayo haijapembuliwa kutoka katika udongo wake, akasema: Akaigawa baina ya watu wanne, kati ya Uyaina bin Badri, na Aqrau bin Haabisi, na Zaidul Khairi, na wa nne alikuwa kati ya Alqama au Aamiri bin Tufail, akasema: Likamfikia hilo Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake akasema: "Hivi hamna imani na mimi hali yakuwa mimi ni muaminiwa wa yule aliyeko mbinguni, zinanijia habari za mbingu asubuhi na jioni" Anasema: Akasimama bwana mmoja mwenye macho yaliyotumbukia ndani, mwenye uso uliokunjamana na mwenye paji la uso lililotokeza, mwenye ndevu nyingi, mwenye kipara, aliyekunja kikoi chake, akasema: Ewe Mjumbe wa Mwenyezi Mungu mche Mwenyezi Mungu. Akasema: "Koma! Hivi kwani mimi si mtu ninayestahiki zaidi kumcha Mwenyezi Mungu katika watu wa ardhini" Anasema msimulizi: Kisha yule bwana akaondoka. Akasema Khalidi bin Walidi: Ewe Mjumbe wa Mwenyezi Mungu, hivi ni kwa nini nisikate kichwa chake? Akasema: "Hapana, huenda akawa anaswali" Akasema Khalidi: Na ni watu wangapi wanaoswali wanasema kwa ndimi zao yasiyokuwa mioyoni mwao?, Akasema Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake: "Hakika mimi sikuamrishwa kutoboa nyoyo za watu, wala kupasua matumbo yao" Anasema: Kisha akamtazama akiwa kampa kisogo, akasema: "Hakika watatoka katika kizazi cha huyu bwana watu wanaosoma kitabu cha Mwenyezi Mungu kikiwa kibichi (kwa uhodari), lakini hakivuki shingo zao, wanatoka katika dini kama mshale unavyotoka katika upinde", na ninadhani pia alisema: "Ikiwa nitakuwa hai nikawapata, basi nitawaua kifo cha Thamudi".
Abu Sa‘īd al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: ‘Ali ibn Abi Tālib (may Allah be pleased with him) sent to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) from Yemen a piece of gold, that still had some of its dirt on it, in a tanned leather pouch. He said: He distributed it among four men: ‘Uyaynah ibn Badr, Aqra‘ ibn Hābis, Zayd al-Khayl, and the fourth one was either ‘Alqamah or ‘Āmir ibn at-Tufayl. A man from among his Companions said: We were more entitled to this than those. He said: This reached the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) who said: "Do you not trust me, whereas I am the trustee of the One Who is in the heavens? News from the heavens comes to me morning and evening." He said: Then a man with sunken eyes, prominent cheeks, an elevated forehead, a thick beard, a shaven head, and his lower garment tucked up stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah, fear Allah. He said: "Woe to you! Am I not the worthiest among the people of the earth to fear Allah?" He said: Then the man left. Khālid ibn al-Walīd said: O Messenger of Allah, should I not strike his neck? He said: "No, perhaps he observes the prayer." Khālid said: And how many are those who pray, saying with their tongues what is not in their hearts. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have not been commanded to pierce people's hearts or to split their bellies." He said: Then he looked at him as he was going away and said: "From the offspring of this man will emerge a people who recite the Book of Allah with fresh voices, yet it will not go beyond their throats. They will depart from the religion as an arrow passes through its target." And I believe he said: "If I live to see them, I will certainly kill them as the people of Thamūd were killed."
Upole wa Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake na subira yake juu ya maudhi.
Kuthibitisha unabii wa Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake, na kwamba kila alichopewa ni Wahyi kutoka kwa Allah.
Kuamiliana na watu kulingana na yale yanayoonekana kwao, na Mwenyezi Mungu ndiye anayesimamia siri zao.
Kumetukuza nafasi ya swala, na kwamba wanaoswali hawauliwi isipokuwa kwa haki ya Uislamu.
Uhatari wa Makhawaariji (wanaotoka katika tawala zao kwa silaha), na kwamba wakianza vita ni sheria kupigana nao kwa ajili ya kuzuia adha yao.
Amesema Nawawi: Himizo la kupigana nao na fadhila za Ally radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake kwa kupigana nao.
Umuhimu wa kuizigantia Qur'ani na kuielewa na kuifanyia kazi na kushikamana nayo.
