Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ مِغْوَلٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُدْرِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَامِرٍ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ 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 b. 'Abd al-Warith told us, he said: Malik b. Mighwal told us, he said: 'Ali b. Mudrik told us, from Abu 'Amir al-Ash'ari: there was a man of theirs killed at Awtas, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "O Abu 'Amir, did you not change it?" And he recited this verse: {O you who believe, take care of your own selves; he who errs cannot harm you if you are rightly guided.} So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) became angry and said: "Where have you gone?! It is rather: 'O you who believe...he who errs cannot harm you' — meaning of the disbelievers — 'if you are rightly guided.'"
