کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

Ibn al-Mubarak told us, on the authority of Hammad ibn Salamah, on the authority of Ali ibn Zaid, on the authority of al-Hasan, on the authority of Jundub ibn Abdullah al-Bajli, (may Allah be pleased with him), “A man from the Levant carried a burden on a man of Ali’s companions on the day of Siffin, and he went down to him to slaughter him. He said: So I tightened my spear towards him to abort it from him, so I aborted it from him, and I do not remember it except that I grabbed it by the throat.”

The one in the Levant, meaning Marwan, by Allah, fights only for the sake of this world, and the one in Mecca, meaning Ibn al-Zubayr, by Allah, fights only for the sake of this world, and those whom you call your readers, by Allah, fights only for the sake of this world. I do not see the best of people except a cluttered gang, empty stomachs from people’s money, thin in appearance from their blood.

O Abu Abd al-Rahman, you are an obedient man among the people of the Levant, and I see a turmoil boiling over, so go, I have commanded you against them.

These are our books, we have finished them. Ride with them to the people of the Levant. I implore you by Allah, and I implore you to Islam. By Allah, you will ride it. I remind you of Allah and the Last Day. This is a matter that I did not do anything at the beginning of, and I will not be able to do anything at the end of it. By Allah, I will not return anything to you from the people of the Levant. By Allah, if the people of the Levant want you, you will obey them, and if they do not want you, I will not refuse you anything from them. By Allah, you will ride it willingly or A hater

No, by Allah, I will not pledge allegiance to you while you put your swords on your shoulders, and any of you sheds the blood of Muslims.

To you, to you. I did not stay with him until he left. By Allah, I remember that enemy of mine after I have slept, and it prevents me from sleeping for the rest of my night, and I remember her after my food is placed in my hands, and it is prevented from me until I reach it.

To you, you have seen me fighting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in this place, the polytheists. Go, may Allah bless you.

People became disbelievers after you. This is Ibn al-Zubayr and the people of the Levant are killing each other
