657
Musnad AhmedIt was narrated that ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was at a funeral and he said: "which of you will go to the city and not leave in it any idol but he will break it, or any grave but he will level it, or any image but he will spoil it?" A man said: “I will, O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)." So he went, but he was afraid of the people of the city, so he came back, "Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: I will go, O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He said: “Go." So he went then he came back and said: O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). I did not leave in it any idol but I broke it, or any grave but i levelled it, or any image but I spoiled it. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Whoever goes back to doing any of that has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad." Then he said: "Do not be a cause of division or show off or be a merchant except a good one, for those are the ones who are lagging behind in good deeds."
