[Machine] While we were walking with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , we passed by a group of boys playing, and among them was the son of a hunter. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "May your hands be covered in dust! Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?" The boy replied, "Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?" Umar said, "Let me kill him!" But the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If what you fear is true, you will not be able to harm him."  

أحمد:٤٣٧١حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ شَقِيقِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ

بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ نَمْشِي إِذْ مَرَّ بِصِبْيَانٍ يَلْعَبُونَ فِيهِمُ ابْنُ صَيَّادٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ تَرِبَتْ يَدَاكَ أَتَشْهَدُ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ؟ فَقَالَ هُوَ أَتَشْهَدُ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ دَعْنِي فَلْأَضْرِبْ عُنُقَهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنْ يَكُ الَّذِي تَخَافُ فَلَنْ تَسْتَطِيعَهُ
