Hadith 5:454
Waki’ narrated to us, al-A’mash narrated to us, from Sa’d ibn ‘Ubaydah, from Abu ‘Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami, from ‘Ali, who said: The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, sent out a military detachment and appointed a man from the Ansar over them, and he commanded them to listen to him and obey him. He said: They angered him regarding something, so he said: "Gather firewood for me." They gathered firewood. Then he said: "Kindle a fire." They kindled a fire for him. Then he said: "Did the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, not command you to listen to me and obey me?" They said: "Yes." He said: "Then enter it." He said: So they looked at one another and said: "We only fled to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, because of the fire." They remained as they were until 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، حدثنا الأعمش، عن سعد بن عبيدة، عن أبي عبد الرحمن السلمي، عن علي، قال: بعث النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم سرية، وأمر عليهم رجلا من الأنصار وأمرهم أن يسمعوا له ويطيعوا، قال: فأغضبوه في شيء، فقال: اجمعوا لي حطبا، فجمعوا حطبا، ثم قال: أوقدوا نارا، فأوقدوا له نارا، فقال: ألم يأمركم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أن تسمعوا لي وتطيعوا؟ قالوا: بلى، قال: فادخلوها، قال: فنظر بعضهم إلى بعض، فقالوا: إنما فررنا إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من أجل النار، فكانوا 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 "
