وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيِّ فِي «صَحِيحِهِ» فَقَالَ: مَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي؟ قَالَ: «اللَّهُ» فَسَقَطَ السيفُ من يَده فَأخذ السَّيْفَ فَقَالَ: «مَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي؟» فَقَالَ: كُنْ خَيْرَ آخِذٍ. فَقَالَ: «تَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ» . قَالَ: لَا وَلَكِنِّي أُعَاهِدُكَ عَلَى أَنْ لَا أُقَاتِلَكَ وَلَا أَكُونَ مَعَ قَوْمٍ يُقَاتِلُونَكَ فَخَلَّى سَبِيلَهُ فَأَتَى أَصْحَابَهُ فَقَالَ: جِئْتُكُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِ خَيْرِ النَّاسِ. هَكَذَا فِي «كتاب الْحميدِي» و«الرياض»
Abu Bakr al-Isma'ili Narrated from:
The man asked, "Who will protect you from me?" He (the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم) said, "Allah," and the sword dropped from his hand. Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم took the sword and asked, "Who will protect you from me (if I decide to kill you)?"The man pleaded, "Be (as you are) the kindest in awarding punishment. (It is not with you to seek retaliation. Forgive me.)" He said, "Do testify that there is no God but Allah and that I am Allah's Messenger." He said, "No! But, I do pledge to you that I shall not fight with you or be with those people who fight with you." So he let him go free. When he came to his companions, he said, "I am coming to you from the best of men." [2](It is thus transmitted in Humaydi's book and in ar-Riya (ostentation)d of Nawawi.)
