حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ السُّدِّيِّ عَنْ مُرَّةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَبِي شُعْبَةُ رَفَعَهُ وَأَنَا لَا أَرْفَعُهُ لَكَ فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَمَنْ يُرِدْ فِيهِ بِإِلْحَادٍ بِظُلْمٍ نُذِقْهُ مِنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا هَمَّ فِيهِ بِإِلْحَادٍ وَهُوَ بِعَدَنِ أَبْيَنَ لَأَذَاقَهُ اللَّهُ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4316
It was narrated from 'Abdullah - Shu'bah said: and he attributed it to the Prophet (PBUH) but I do not attribute it to him for you - concerning the verse "And whoever inclines to evil actions therein [in al-Masjidul-Haram] or to do wrong, him We shall cause to taste from a painful torment." [al-Hajj 22:25]: If a man were to think of doing evil actions therein when he is in 'Adan Abyan, Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, will cause him to taste a painful torment.
