حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الرَّمْلِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا مُفَضِّلٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَيَّاشٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ بُكَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ بَيْتِي وَبَسَطَ يَدَهُ لِيَقْتُلَنِي ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنْ كَابْنَيْ آدَمَ وَتَلَا يَزِيدُ لَئِنْ بَسَطْتَ إِلَيَّ يَدَكَ [سورة المائدة آية 28] الْآيَةَ.

I asked: Messenger of Allah! tell me if someone enters my house and extends his hands to kill me (what should I do?) The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم replied: Be like the two sons of Adam. The narrator Yazid (bin Khalid) then recited the verse: If thou dost stretch they hand against me to slay me. [5: 28]
