The Prophet ﷺ said, "My example and the example of what Allah has sent me with is like a man who came to his people and said, 'My people, I have seen the army with my own eyes, and I am the naked warner, so flee to safety!'A group among his people obeyed him and set out at nightfall, traveling at their own pace until they escaped. Another group denied him and remained where they were, so the army came upon them in the morning, destroyed them, and wiped them out.That is the example of one who obeys me and follows what I have brought, and the example of one who disobeys me and denies the truth I have brought."
حدثنا عبد الله بن براد الأشعري وأبو كريب واللفظ لأبي كريب قالا حدثنا أبو أسامة عن بريد عن أبي بردة
عن النبي ﷺ قال إن مثلي ومثل ما بعثني الله به كمثل رجل أتى قومه فقال يا قوم إني رأيت الجيش بعيني وإني أنا النذير العريان فالنجاء فأطاعه طائفة من قومه فأدلجوا فانطلقوا على مهلتهم وكذبت طائفة منهم فأصبحوا مكانهم فصبحهم الجيش فأهلكهم واجتاحهم فذلك مثل من أطاعني واتبع ما جئت به ومثل من عصاني وكذب ما جئت به من الحق
