Hadith of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (RA)

حديث أبي موسى الأشعري

Hadith 243:89

On the authority of Abu Musa, from the Prophet (peace be upon him), he said: "The likeness of me and the likeness of that with which Allah has sent me is like a man who came to his people and said: 'O my people, I have indeed seen the army. I am the naked warner, so escape!' A group of his people obeyed him, so they set out by night, proceeding at their leisure, and they were saved. Another group disbelieved him, so they remained in their place until the army came upon them in the morning and annihilated them. That is the likeness of the one who obeyed me and followed what I brought of the truth, and the likeness of the one who disobeyed me and denied what I brought of the truth."

وعن أبي موسى عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال * إن مثلي ومثل ما بعثني الله به كمثل رجل أتاه قومه فقال يا قوم إني رأيت الجيش إني أنا النذير العريان فالنجاء فأطاعه طائفة من قومه فأدلجوا فانطلقوا على مهلهم فنجوا وكذبت طائفة فأصبحوا مكانهم فصبحهم الجيش فاجتاحهم فذلك مثل من أطاعني فاتبع ما جئت به ومثل من عصاني وكذب ما جئت به من الحق
