The Prophet ﷺ sent a detachment. I gave a sword to a man from among them. When he came back, he said: Would that you saw us how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ rebuked us, saying: When I sent out a man who does not fulfil my command, are you unable to appoint in his place one who will fulfil my command.  

أبو داود:٢٦٢٧حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هِلاَلٍ عَنْ بِشْرِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ مَالِكٍ مِنْ رَهْطِهِ قَالَ

بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ سَرِيَّةً فَسَلَحْتُ رَجُلاً مِنْهُمْ سَيْفًا فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ قَالَ لَوْ رَأَيْتَ مَا لاَمَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَعَجَزْتُمْ إِذْ بَعَثْتُ رَجُلاً مِنْكُمْ فَلَمْ يَمْضِ لأَمْرِي أَنْ تَجْعَلُوا مَكَانَهُ مَنْ يَمْضِي لأَمْرِي

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a military expedition and armed a man with a sword. When we returned, I did not see anything like what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had given to that man. He said, "Have you failed when I commanded you to appoint a man and he did not act upon my command or follow my prohibition?
