Musnad Ahmad 5:610

Abdullah narrated to us, Shayban Abu Muhammad narrated to me, Hammad—meaning Ibn Salamah—narrated to us, Hajjaj ibn Artah informed us, from al-Hakam ibn Utaybah, from Abu Muhammad al-Hudhali, from Ali ibn Abi Talib: "That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent a man from the Ansar to level every grave and to smear every idol." He said: "O Messenger of Allah, I dislike entering the houses of my people." He said: "Then send me." When I came, he said: "O Ali, do not be a tempter, nor arrogant, nor a merchant, except for a merchant of good, for those are delayed—or preceded—in deeds."
