Hadith 28:1180
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 (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sent ‘Alqama ibn Mujazziz on an expedition in which I was among them. When he reached the head of ‘Arana, or was at some point on the road, a group of the army asked his permission [to leave], and he gave them permission and appointed ‘Abdullah ibn Hudhafah ibn Qays al-Sahmi over them. I was among those who went on the expedition with him. When we were at some point on the road, the people lit a fire to warm themselves or to cook something upon it. ‘Abdullah—and there was a sense of jest in him—said: "Do I not have the right of hearing and obedience over you?" They said: "Yes." He said: "And will you not do anything I command you to do?" They said: "Yes." He said: "Then I command you to throw yourselves into this fire." Some people stood up and began to fasten their garments [to jump]. When he realized they were about to jump, he said: "Hold back, for I was only joking with you." When we arrived, they mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and he said: "Whoever among them commands you to commit a sin, do not obey him."
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 عرانة أو كان ببعض الطريق أستأذنته طائفة من الجيش فأذن لهم وأمر عليهم عبد الله بن حذافة بن قيس السهمي فكنت فيمن غزا معه فلما كان ببعض الطريق أوقد القوم نارا ليصطلوا أو ليصنعوا عليها صنيعا وقال عبد الله وكانت فيه دعابة أليس لي عليكم السمع والطاعة قالوا بلى قال فما أنا آمركم بشيء إلا صنعتموه قالوا نعم قال فإني أعزم عليكم ألا تواثبتم في هذه النار فقام ناس فتحجزوا فلما ظن أنهم واثبون قال أمسكوا على أنفسكم فإنما أمزح معكم فلما قدمنا ذكروا ذلك لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال من أمركم منهم بمعصية فلا تطيعوه
