4053 - Fahd ibn Sulayman narrated to us, saying: Muhammad ibn Sa'id ibn al-Isbahani narrated to us, saying: Sharik ibn Abdullah al-Nakha'i narrated to us, from Mansur ibn al-Mu'tamir, from Rub'ay ibn Hiraash, from Ali (peace be upon him), who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) say when he opened Mecca and people from Quraysh came to him and said: "O Muhammad, we are your allies and your people, and our sons and servants have joined you, not out of a desire for Islam, but because they have fled from the burden of work. So send them back to us." He consulted Abu Bakr (peace be upon him) about their matter, and he said: "They speak the truth, O Messenger of Allah." His face changed, and he said: "O Umar, what do you think?" Umar replied like Abu Bakr's words.
Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said: "O people of Quraysh, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will surely send you a man from among you, whom Allah, the Exalted, has tested with faith in his heart, and he will strike your necks for the sake of religion." Abu Bakr said: "Am I that man, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "No." Umar said: "Am I that man, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "No, but he is the one repairing sandals in the mosque." It was noted that he had thrown his sandal to Ali (peace be upon him) to repair. Ali (peace be upon him) also said: "Indeed, I heard him say, 'Do not lie about me, for whoever lies about me will enter the Fire.'"
