Hadith 28:1178
Waki' narrated to us, he said: Al-A'mash narrated to us, from Sa'd bin 'Ubaydah, from Abu 'Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami, from 'Ali, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sent out a military detachment and appointed a man from the Ansar over them. He commanded them to listen to him and obey him. He said: Then they angered him regarding something, so he said: "Gather firewood for me." So they gathered firewood for him. He said: "Kindle a fire." So they kindled a fire. He said: "Did he [the Prophet] not command you to listen to me and obey me?" They said: "Yes." He said: "Then enter it." He said: So some of them looked at others and said: "We only fled to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) from the Fire." He said: While they were like that, his anger subsided and the fire went out. He said: When they arrived at the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), they mentioned that to him. He said: "If they had entered it, they would not have come out of it. Obedience is only in what is good."
حدثنا وكيع قال ثنا الأعمش عن سعد بن عبيدة عن أبي عبد الرحمن السلمي عن علي قال بعث رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم سرية واستعمل عليهم رجلا من الأنصار فأمرهم أن يسمعوا له ويطيعوا قال فأغضبوا في شيء فقال اجمعوا لي حطبا فجمعوا له حطبا قال أوقدوا نارا فأوقدوا نارا قال ألم يأمركم أن تسمعوا لي وتطيعوا قالوا بلى قال فادخلوها قال فنظر بعضهم إلى بعض وقالوا إنما فررنا إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من النار قال فبينما هم كذلك إذ سكن غضبه وطفئت النار قال فلما قدموا على النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ذكروا ذلك له فقال لو دخلوها ما خرجوا منها إنما الطاعة في المعروف
