کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

Ibn Uyaynah told us, on the authority of Amr ibn Dinar, on the authority of Abu Jaafar, he said: Harmala, the servant of Usama ibn Zaid, narrated to me. He said: Usama sent me to Ali and said: “He will ask you what your friend has left behind? So say: He is telling you: By Allah, if I were in a lion’s mouth, I would love to be with you in it, but this is something I have not seen.” He said: So I came to Ali, (may Allah be pleased with him), and told him this statement. He said: He did not give me anything. He said: And I came well. And Husayn and Ibn Jaafar gave me my camel. Amr said: I saw Harmala but I did not hear this hadith from him

The best provision is what is sufficient, and the best is hidden remembrance

I was a man from the people of Mecca, and I had my birth, my home, and my money. I did not stay there until Allah Almighty sent His Prophet, ﷺ. So I believed in him and followed him, so I stayed there as long as Allah wanted me to stay. Then I left it and fled with my religion to Medina, and I did not stay there until Allah gathered my money and family for me, and today I am fleeing with my religion from Medina to Mecca just as I fled with my religion from Mecca to Medina.

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.

May Allah have mercy on Abdullah bin Omar, or Abu Abdul Rahman. By Allah, I believe that during the time of the Prophet, ﷺ, to which he was entrusted, he was not tempted after him, nor did he change. By Allah, Quraysh did not provoke him in their first temptation.

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

It is preferable to die in Islam before temptation

As for the scratching on his neck, no, but he pledged allegiance despite his unwillingness

Yes, if you want, take us away as I am not the owner of what you want

The Sultan is not speaking today

The most truthful speech is the Book of Allah, and the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad, and the worst of matters are those that are newly invented, but without distinguishing between this and that, no, no, but whoever does not know good in his heart, and does not deny evil in his heart, go, throw down your sword, and come and sit in the direction of this circle.

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.

Whoever fights under the blind banner of fanaticism, or supports fanaticism, or calls for fanaticism, and is killed, then he is killed by ignorance, and whoever revolts against my nation, attacking its righteous and its ungodly, and does not deviate from its believer, nor fulfill its covenant with its covenant, then he is not of me, and I am not of him.

Ibn Mubarak told us, on the authority of Sufyan, on the authority of Yunus, on the authority of Ghailan bin Jarir, and the like

Leaving Islam

It was narrated from Sunabih Al-Ahmasi that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:“I shall reach the Cistern (Haud) before you, and I will boast of your great numbers before the nations, so do not fight one another after I am gone.’”

Look, the happiest people were when Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was killed, so they followed the example of this Ibn Umar, with the palm of his hand

The demise of the entire world is easier for Allah than the blood of a Muslim person shed unjustly

Hushaym told us, on the authority of Yunus bin Ubaid, on the authority of Humaid bin Hilal, he said: It was said to Saad during the days of those temptations: O Abu Ishaq, won’t you look into this matter, for you are one of the people of Badr, and you are the rest of the people of the Shura Council, and you have a situation? He said: “I am not more worthy of the caliphate in this shirt than I am, and I am not the one I am fighting until I am brought with a sword that distinguishes the believer from the infidel, and the infidel from the believer, and says: This is a believer, so do not kill him, and this is an infidel, so kill him.”

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned that there is a trial before the Hour

What do you think, if a son of Moses had requested that he be buried with his father and he was prevented, would they not have been wronged? This is the son of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) and it is forbidden to be buried with his father. Your brother has advised that if you fear that there will be a fight, return me to the Muslim cemeteries.

Days and nights will not pass until the affairs of this nation gather around a man with a wide mouth and a large mouth, who eats and is not satisfied

This son of mine is a master, and through his hands Allah will reconcile two great groups of Muslims

O Abu Al-Hasan, by Allah, if you had taken the lion’s blade, you would have taken his other blade with you until we all perished or we all survived. As for this matter that you are in, by Allah, I would never enter into it with you.

Which of the two groups did you fight with, and you were killed in a flash
