و حَدَّثَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَرْفَجَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَتَاکُمْ وَأَمْرُکُمْ جَمِيعٌ عَلَی رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَشُقَّ عَصَاکُمْ أَوْ يُفَرِّقَ جَمَاعَتَکُمْ فَاقْتُلُوهُ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 4798
It has been narrated (through a still different chain of transmitters) on the Same authority (i. e. 'Arfaja) who said similarly-but adding: Kill all of them. I heard the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) say: When you are holding to one single man as your leader, you should kill who seeks to undermine your solidarity or disrupt your unity.
