Hadith text

Narrated `Ali:The Prophet (ﷺ) , sent an army and appointed some man their commander The man made a fire and then said (to the soldiers), "Enter it." Some of them intended to enter it while some others said, 'We have run away from it (i.e., embraced Islam to save ourselves from the 'fire')." They mentioned that to the Prophet, and he said about people who had intended to enter the fire. ''If they had entered it, they would have remained In it till the Day of Resurrection.'' Then he said to others, "No obedience for evil deeds, obedience is required only in what is good

Ali bataate hain: Nabi (SAW) ne ek fauji dasta bheja aur ek shaks ko unka afsar muqarrar kiya. Us shaks ne aag jalaayi aur phir (sipahiyon se) kaha, 'Isme daakhil ho jaao.' Kuch logon ne isme daakhil hone ka iraada kiya jabke kuch ne kaha, 'Hum isse (yaani Aag se) bhaag chuke hain (yaani humne khud ko is Aag se bachaane ke liye Islam qubool kiya hai).' Unhone ye baat Nabi (SAW) ko bataayi, aur unhone un logon ke baare mein jinhone usmein daakhil hone ka iraada kiya tha, kaha, 'Agar wo usmein daakhil hote, to wo Qayamat ke din tak usmein rehte.' Phir unhone doosron se kaha, 'Bure amaal ki farmaanbardaari nahi honi chaahiye, farmaanbardaari sirf achhaai ki honi chaahiye.'
