Hadith 36:98

Yazid ibn Harun narrated to us, he said: Muhammad ibn ‘Amr informed us, from ‘Umar ibn al-Hakam ibn Thawban, from Abu Sa’id al-Khudri, that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) sent ‘Alqama ibn Mujazziz on an expedition in which I was among them. When he reached the end of his expedition, or was on some part of the road, a group of the army asked his permission [to leave], and he gave them permission. He appointed ‘Abdullah ibn Hudhafah ibn Qays al-Sahmi over them, and I was among those who went on the expedition with him. When we were on some part of the road, the people lit a fire to warm themselves or to cook something for themselves. ‘Abdullah—and there was a playfulness in him—said: "Do I not have the right of hearing and obedience over you?" They said: "Yes." He said: "Then I will not command you to do anything except that you do it?" They said: "Yes." He said: "Then I command you to jump into this fire." Some people stood up and prepared themselves. When he thought they were about to jump, he said: "Hold back, for I was only joking with you." When we arrived, we mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), and he said: "Whoever among them commands you to commit a sin, do not obey them."

حدثنا يزيد بن هارون قال أخبرنا محمد بن عمرو عن عمر بن الحكم بن ثوبان عن أبي سعيد الخدري أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بعث علقمة بن مجزز على بعث أنا فيهم فلما انتهى إلى رأس غزاته أو كان ببعض الطريق استأذنته طائفة من الجيش فأذن لهم وأمر عليهم عبد الله بن حذافة بن قيس السهمي فكنت فيمن غزا معه فلما كنا ببعض الطريق أوقد القوم نارا ليصطلوا أو ليصطنعوا عليه شيئا لهم فقال عبد الله وكانت فيه دعابة أليس لي عليكم السمع والطاعة قالوا بلى قال فما أنا بآمركم شيئا إلا صنعتموه قالوا نعم قال فإني أعزم عليكم ألا تواثبتم في هذه النار قال فقام ناس فتجهزوا فلما ظن أنهم واثبون قال أمسكوا على أنفسكم فإنما كنت أمزح معكم فلما قدمنا ذكرنا ذلك لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال من أمركم منهم بمعصية فلا تطيعوهم
