کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

Nothing will come between any of you and Paradise after he has looked at its gates, filled with a handful of Muslim blood that he has spilled

If a calamity befalls, and your money is given instead of your debt, then the ruined is the one whose religion is ruined, and the robbed is the one whose religion is robbed, and know that there is no wealth after Hell, and no poverty after Paradise. Indeed, its captive will not be freed from Hell, and its poor will not be freed from it.

Oh Allah, hold the killers of Uthman to their throats today

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.

Imams will rise up against you that you know about and you deny. Whoever denies is saved, and whoever hates it is saved. But whoever is satisfied and follows it, as for what they prayed, there is no

As for as long as they perform prayer, no

The worst of your imams are those whom you hate and they hate you, and you curse them and they curse you, as long as they establish prayer among you, no. Except for the one who is appointed over him and sees him committing any act of disobedience to Allah, let him hate what comes of disobedience to Allah, and not withdraw his hand from obedience.

Get used to being patient before calamity befalls you, for it will not befall you more severely than what befell us with the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ.

O Abu Dhar, how do you do if people are hungry so that you cannot get from your bed to your mosque, and from your mosque to your bed? You come from whomever you are. You enter your house if you fear that the beam of the sword will dazzle you. Then throw the band of your cloak over your face. He will bear your sin and his sin if you associate him with it.

O my nephew, come back and sit in your house until Allah brings His command, for I have no need to shed blood

My princes began to give me the choice of staying on what my nose forced me to do, and making my face ugly, or taking my sword and fighting and killing, then entering the Fire. So I chose to stick to what my nose forced me to do, and making my face ugly, and not taking my sword and fighting and killing, then entering the Fire.

Do not be deceived by what you see and people returning to the mosque, for these people are about to abandon their religion, just as a woman abandons her kiss. If they do that, then you should be as you are today.

Enjoining good and forbidding evil is good, and it is not Sunnah to raise weapons against your imam

Ibn Al-Mubarak told us, on the authority of Muhammad bin Talha Al-Yami, on the authority of Ibrahim bin Abdul-Ala, on the authority of Suwayd bin Ghafla, he said: Omar, (may Allah be pleased with him), said to me: “Perhaps you will remain until you realize the temptation, so listen and obey, and if there is an Abyssinian slave against you, if he hits you, be patient, or deprives you, or oppresses you, then be patient, and if he wants you to do something that will diminish you in your religion, then say: listen and obey, my blood is not my religion.”

O people, do not kill Othman, for by the One in whose hand is my soul, no nation has ever killed its prophet so that Allah would rectify their affairs until they shed the blood of seventy thousand of them, and no nation has ever killed its successor so Allah would rectify their affairs until they shed the blood of forty thousand of them.

When you put your sword down, I decided against you, because what you want is my soul, so I will protect the believers today with myself

By the one who split the grain and created the breeze, I did not kill him, nor did I order him to be killed

I swear on everyone who saw me as his right when he departed from me

Ibn Al-Mubarak told us, on the authority of Jarir bin Hazim, who said: I heard Humaid bin Hilal Al-Adawi saying: A man among us said: “I saw Othman, (may Allah be pleased with him), after he was killed, the best I had ever seen him, wearing white clothes, so I said: O Commander of the Faithful, which matters did you find more trustworthy? He said: The upright religion does not involve the shedding of blood, three times, and when the Day of the Camel came, I put on my weapon, rode my horse, and took my spear, and I was in the first position, so I was like that.” When my vision was shown to me, I said: Didn’t Othman say to you in the dream, “Kit and Kate?” So I sent my horse to the house, put down my weapon, and sat in my house until that matter was over, and I did not get out of it for anything.”

I did not order the killing of Othman, nor did I like him, but my cousins ​​accused me, so I sent to apologize, but they refused to accept, so they refused to accept, so I worshiped and fasted.

Oh Allah, disgrace the killers of Othman today

Fight the polytheists with it as long as you fight them. If you see my nation striking one another, bring it to someone and strike it until it breaks, then sit in your house until a wrong hand or fatal death comes upon you.

There will be strife and division, so strike someone with your sword, break your arrows, cut them off, and leave them, and stay in your home.

O Khaled bin Arafta, there will be events, strife, and disagreement. If you can be the one killed and not be the killer, then do so

Ibn al-Mubarak told us, on the authority of Issa bin Omar, who said: I heard a sheikh, speaking to Amr bin Murrah, who said: Abdullah bin Amr, (may Allah be pleased with them) both, said - I did not see him referring to anyone other than him -: “I was reading this verse {Then on the Day of Resurrection you will dispute with your Lord} [Az-Zumar: 31], and I saw that it was among the People of the Book, until some of us blocked each other’s faces with swords, so we knew that it was among us.”
