It was recorded by Muslim (9/153). The strange term1 - "I was commanded to a village..." Al-Khaṭīb said: "The meaning is that I was commanded to migrate to a village (that consumes other villages), meaning its people consume other villages, as Allāh said: 'And Allāh presents an example: a city which was safe and secure' (Sūrah An-Naḥl, 16:112), meaning a village whose people were secure.

The evidence for this is Allāh's saying: 'So Allāh made it taste the garment of hunger and fear for what they had done' (Sūrah An-Naḥl, 16:112), and the village does not act, and His saying: 'And it denied the favors of Allāh' (Sūrah An-Naḥl, 16:112), and the village does not disbelieve." 2 - "(that consumes other villages)" meaning it overpowers them, as Allāh said: 'Indeed, those who consume the property of orphans unjustly' (Sūrah An-Nisāʾ, 4:10), it does not mean that they eat it without being hidden from the orphans, nor is it eaten, and as Allāh said: 'And do not consume it wastefully and hastily, fearing that they will grow up' (Sūrah An-Nisāʾ, 4:6), meaning you overpower it wastefully against yourselves, and hastily fearing that they will grow up and establish proof against you with it and take it from you for themselves. So the consumption mentioned here is intended to mean overpowering something, and likewise in the ḥadīth."

The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) responded harshly to him and rebuked him. He said: 'O Muḥammad, with what do you threaten me?! By Allāh, I am indeed more..
