Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ مِغْوَلٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُدْرِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَامِرٍ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ قَالَ كَانَ رَجُلٌ قُتِلَ مِنْهُمْ بِأَوْطَاسٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا أَبَا عَامِرٍ أَلَا غَيَّرْتَ فَتَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ { يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْفُسَكُمْ لَا يَضُرُّكُمْ مَنْ ضَلَّ إِذَا اهْتَدَيْتُمْ } فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ أَيْنَ ذَهَبْتُمْ إِنَّمَا هِيَ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا يَضُرُّكُمْ مَنْ ضَلَّ مِنْ الْكُفَّارِ إِذَا اهْتَدَيْتُمْ.
English Translation
Abd al-Samad ibn Abd al-Warith told us, he said: Malik ibn Mighwal told us: Ali ibn Mudrik told us, from Abu Amir al-Ash'ari, who said: A man of theirs was killed at Awtas, so the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him: O Abu Amir, would that you had changed it? Then he recited this verse: {O you who believe, upon you is responsibility for yourselves; those who have gone astray cannot harm you when you have been guided}. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, became angry and said: Where have you gone with this? It only means: O you who believe, those of the disbelievers who go astray cannot harm you when you have been guided.
