Sahih Muslim 1733d

Ubayd Allah ibn Saeed and Muhammad ibn Hatim narrated to us, and the wording is that of Ibn Hatim. They both said: Yahya ibn Saeed al-Qattan narrated to us: Qurrah ibn Khalid narrated to us: Humayd ibn Hilal narrated to us: Abu Burdah narrated to me. Abu Burdah said: Abu Musa said: I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) with two men from the Ashari tribe, one to my right and the other to my left. Both asked to be given appointments, while the Prophet was using a tooth-stick. He said: What do you say, Abu Musa—or Abd Allah ibn Qays? I said: By the One who sent you with the truth, they did not tell me what was in their minds, and I did not know they intended to ask for appointments. I can almost see the tooth-stick beneath the Prophet lip, whose lips had drawn back. He said: We will not—or do not—appoint to this work anyone who asks for it. But go, Abu Musa—or Abd Allah ibn Qays. He sent him to Yemen, then sent Muadh ibn Jabal after him. When Muadh arrived, Abu Musa said: Come down, and he laid a cushion out for him. There was a man there who was bound. Muadh asked what this was. Abu Musa said: He was a Jew who became Muslim, then returned to his evil religion and became a Jew again. Muadh said: I will not sit until he is killed by the judgment of Allah and His Messenger. Abu Musa said: Sit down; yes, it will be done. Muadh said three times that he would not sit until he was killed by the judgment of Allah and His Messenger. Abu Musa ordered it, and the man was killed. Then the two discussed standing in prayer at night. One of them—Muadh—said: I sleep and I stand in prayer, and I hope for the same reward in my sleep as I hope for in my standing.
