أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ أَوْسًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي وَفْدِ ثَقِيفٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَكُنْتُ مَعَهُ فِي قُبَّةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَنَامَ مَنْ كَانَ فِي الْقُبَّةِ غَيْرِي،‏‏‏‏ وَغَيْرُهُ،‏‏‏‏ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَسَارَّهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اذْهَبْ فَاقْتُلْهُ . فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَلَيْسَ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ،‏‏‏‏ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ؟ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَشْهَدُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ ذَرْهُ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا قَالُوهَا حَرُمَتْ دِمَاؤُهُمْ وَأَمْوَالُهُمْ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهَا . قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ:‏‏‏‏ فَقُلْتُ لِشُعْبَةَ:‏‏‏‏ أَلَيْسَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ أَلَيْسَ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ،‏‏‏‏ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ؟ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَظُنُّهَا مَعَهَا وَلَا أَدْرِي.

I heard Aws say: 'I came to the Messenger of Allah [ﷺ] among the delegation of Thaqif and I was with him in a tent. Everyone in the tent had gone to sleep except him and I. A man came and whispered to him, and he said: Go and kill him. Then he said: Does he not bear witness to La ilaha illallah (there is none worthy of worship except Allah) and that I am the Messenger of Allah? He said: He does bear witness to that. The Messenger of Allah [ﷺ] said: Leave him alone. Then he said: I have been commanded to fight the people until they say La ilaha illallah. If they say it, then their blood and their wealth become forbidden to me, except for a right that is due. (One of the narrators) Muhammad said: I said to Shu'bah: 'Doesn't the Hadith contain: Does he not testify to La ilaha illallah (there is none worthy of worship except Allah) and that I am the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' He said: 'I think it is both, but I do not know.'
