Sunnan an-Nasai 4082

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said

"A man came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what do you think if someone comes to steal my wealth?' He said: 'Urge him by Allah.' He said: 'What if he persists?' He said: 'Urge him by Allah.' He said: 'What if he persists?' He said: 'Urge him by Allah.' He said: 'What if he persists?' He said: 'Then fight. If you are killed you will be in Paradise, and if you kill him, he will be in the Fire.'"

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْهَادِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ قُهَيْدٍ الْغِفَارِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ عُدِيَ عَلَى مَالِي قَالَ ‏"‏ فَانْشُدْ بِاللَّهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَإِنْ أَبَوْا عَلَىَّ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَانْشُدْ بِاللَّهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَإِنْ أَبَوْا عَلَىَّ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَانْشُدْ بِاللَّهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَإِنْ أَبَوْا عَلَىَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَقَاتِلْ فَإِنْ قُتِلْتَ فَفِي الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنْ قَتَلْتَ فَفِي النَّارِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏
