حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا صَالِحٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ حُذَافَةَ يَطُوفُ فِي مِنًى أَنْ لَا تَصُومُوا هَذِهِ الْأَيَّامَ فَإِنَّهَا أَيَّامُ أَكْلٍ وَشُرْبٍ وَذِكْرِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
English Translation
Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent 'Abdullah ibn Hudhafah to lead a military expedition. He became angry with his companions and said: 'Didn't the Prophet ﷺ command you to obey me?' They said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Then gather firewood.' When they gathered it, he said: 'Light a fire.' When it was lit, he said: 'Enter it.' They refused. He said: 'Do not enter it, for I was only joking.' They mentioned it to the Prophet ﷺ, who said: 'If they had entered it, they would never have come out. Obedience is only in what is good.'
