حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِسَعْدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ عَنْ حَدِيثٍ وَأَنَا أَهَابُكَ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ لَا تَفْعَلْ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي إِذَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ عِنْدِي عِلْمًا فَسَلْنِي عَنْهُ وَلَا تَهَبْنِي قَالَ فَقُلْتُ قَوْلُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِعَلِيٍّ حِينَ خَلَّفَهُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ خَلَّفَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلِيًّا بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتُخَلِّفُنِي فِي الْخَالِفَةِ فِي النِّسَاءِ وَالصِّبْيَانِ فَقَالَ أَمَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَأَدْبَرَ عَلِيٌّ مُسْرِعًا كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى غُبَارِ قَدَمَيْهِ يَسْطَعُ وَقَدْ قَالَ حَمَّادٌ فَرَجَعَ عَلِيٌّ مُسْرِعًا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 1490
It was narrated that Sa'eed bin al-Musayyab said: I said to Saad bin Malik: I want to ask you about a hadeeth, but I feel too shy to ask you about it. He said: Do not feel like that, O son of my brother. If you know that I have some knowledge then ask me about it and do not feel too shy of me. I said: What did the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say to 'Ali when he left him in charge of Madinah during the campaign to Tabook? Saad said: The Prophet (PBUH) left 'Ali in charge of Madinah during the campaign to Tabook, and he ['Ali] said: O Messenger of Allah, are you leaving me behind with those who are staying behind, the women and children? He said: "Does it not please you to be to me as Haroon was to Moosa?" He said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah. Then he turned and rushed back, and it is as if I can see the dust kicked up by his feet. And Hammad said: And 'All went back quickly.
