حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ يَعْنِي الْوَاسِطِيَّ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ ثَوْبَانَ عَنْ حَسَّانَ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُنِيبٍ الْجُرَشِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بُعِثْتُ بِالسَّيْفِ حَتَّى يُعْبَدَ اللَّهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَجُعِلَ رِزْقِي تَحْتَ ظِلِّ رُمْحِي وَجُعِلَ الذِّلَّةُ وَالصَّغَارُ عَلَى مَنْ خَالَفَ أَمْرِي وَمَنْ تَشَبَّهَ بِقَوْمٍ فَهُوَ مِنْهُمْ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 5114
It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "I have been sent with the sword so that Allah alone will be worshipped with no partner or associate, and my provision has been placed in the shade of mv spear, and humiliation has been decreed for those who go against my command, and whoever imitates a people is one of them."
