Sahih Muslim 1840b
وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدٍ الأَشَجُّ - وَتَقَارَبُوا فِي اللَّفْظِ - قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم سَرِيَّةً وَاسْتَعْمَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَجُلاً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ وَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَسْمَعُوا لَهُ وَيُطِيعُوا فَأَغْضَبُوهُ فِي شَىْءٍ فَقَالَ اجْمَعُوا لِي حَطَبًا . فَجَمَعُوا لَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَوْقِدُوا نَارًا . فَأَوْقَدُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ أَلَمْ يَأْمُرْكُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ تَسْمَعُوا لِي وَتُطِيعُوا قَالُوا بَلَى . قَالَ فَادْخُلُوهَا . قَالَ فَنَظَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ فَقَالُوا إِنَّمَا فَرَرْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنَ النَّارِ . فَكَانُوا كَذَلِكَ وَسَكَنَ غَضَبُهُ وَطُفِئَتِ النَّارُ فَلَمَّا رَجَعُوا ذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " لَوْ دَخَلُوهَا مَا خَرَجُوا مِنْهَا إِنَّمَا الطَّاعَةُ فِي الْمَعْرُوفِ " .
Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Numayr, Zuhayr ibn Harb, and Abu Said al-Ashajj narrated this to us; their wordings were similar. They said: Waki narrated to us; al-Amash narrated to us, from Sad ibn Ubaydah, from Abu Abd al-Rahman, from Ali, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, sent out a detachment and appointed a man from the Ansar over them. He instructed them to listen to him and obey him. They angered him over something, so he said, “Gather firewood for me.” They gathered it. Then he said, “Light a fire.” They lit it. He then said, “Did the Messenger of Allah not instruct you to listen to me and obey me?” They said, “Yes.” He said, “Then enter it.” They looked at one another and said, “We fled to the Messenger of Allah from the Fire.” They remained as they were, and his anger subsided and the fire went out. When they returned, they told the Prophet about it. He said, “Had they entered it, they would not have come out of it. Obedience is only in what is right.”
