Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ عَنْ بِلَالِ بْنِ يَقْطُرَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اسْتُعْمِلَ عَلَى سِجِسْتَانَ فَلَقِيَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ تَذْكُرُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَيْثُ اسْتَعْمَلَ رَجُلًا عَلَى جَيْشٍ وَعِنْدَهُ نَارٌ قَدْ أُجِّجَتْ فَقَالَ لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ قُمْ فَانْزُهَا فَقَامَ فَنَزَاهَا فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَوْ وَقَعَ فِيهَا لَدَخَلَا النَّارَ إِنَّهُ لَا طَاعَةَ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى وَإِنَّمَا أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُذَكِّرَكَ هَذَا وَقَالَ حَمَّادٌ أَيْضًا قُمْ فَانْزِهَا فَأَبَى فَعَزَمَ عَلَيْهِ وَقَدْ قَالَ حَمَّادٌ أَيْضًا لَا طَاعَةَ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى قَالَ نَعَمْ.
English Translation
Bilal ibn Yaqtur narrated that a man from the Companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) was appointed over Sijistan. A man from the Companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) met him and said: 'Do you remember when the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) appointed a man over an army, and there was a fire that had been kindled? He said to a man among his companions: Get up and jump into it. The man stood up and was about to jump in, but the Prophet (peace be upon him) held him back and said: If he had entered it, both of them would have entered the Fire. There is no obedience to a created being in disobedience to Allah, Mighty and Sublime.'
