English

[2451] 143 – (1064) It was tii. ()- {to] narrated that Abü Sa'eed A]- KhudrI said: "While he was in Yemen, 'All [may Allah be pleased with him] sent some gold, still encased in earth, to the Messenger of Allah , and the Messenger of Allah distributed it among four men, Al-Aqra' bin Uâbis Al-UanalI, 'Uyaynah bin Badr Al-Fazârl, 'Alqamah bin 'Ulâah Al-'Amirl who was one of Banü Kilâb, and Zaid AI-Khair At-Ta'l who was one of Banü Nabhân. The Quraish got angry and said: 'He gives to the chiefs of Najd and ignores us?' The Messenger of Allah said: 'I only did that in order to incline their hearts (towards faith).' There came a man with a thick beard, prominent cheeks, sunken eyes, a prominent forehead and a shaven head, who said: 'Fear Allah, 0 Muhammad!' The Messenger of Allah said: 'Who will obey Allah if I disobey Him? Would He trust me with the people of earth but you do not trust me?' Then the man turned and left, and a man who was among the people asked for permission to kill him" – they think that he was Khâlid bin Al-WalId – "then the Messenger of Allah said: 'Among the progeny of this man will be people who will recite the Qur'ân, but it will not go any further than their throats. They will kill the people of Islam and leave the idol-worshippers alone. They will pass through Islam as an arrow passes through the prey. If I live to see them, then I will certainly kill them like 'Ad."
