7112. Narrated Abul-Minhāl: When Ibn Ziyād and Marwān were in Shām and Ibn Az-Zubair took over the authority in Makkah, and Qurra' (the Khawārij)(1) revolted in Baṣrah, I went out with my father to Abū Barza Al-Aslamī till we entered upon him in his house while he was sitting in the shade of a room built of cane. So we sat with him and my father started talking to him saying, "O Abū Barza! Don't you see in what dilemma the people has fallen?" The first thing I heard him saying was, "I seek reward from Allāh for myself because of being angry and scornful at the Quraish tribe. O you Arabs! You know very well that you were in misery and were few in number and misguided, and that Allāh has brought you out of all that with Islām and with Muḥammad ﷺ till He brought you to this state (of prosperity and happiness) which you see now; and it is this worldly wealths and pleasures which has caused mischief to appear among you. The one who is in Shām (i.e., Marwān), by Allāh, is not fighting except for the sake of worldly gain; and those who are among you, by Allāh, are not fighting except for the sake of worldly gain; and that one who is in Makkah (i.e., Ibn Az-Zubair) by Allāh, is not fighting except for the sake of worldly gain."

7112 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَوْفٍ، عَنْ أَبِي المِنْهَالِ، قَالَ: لَمَّا كَانَ ابْنُ زِيَادٍ وَمَرْوَانُ بِالشَّأْمِ، وَوَثَبَ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ بِمَكَّةَ، وَوَثَبَ القُرَّاءُ بِالْبَصْرَةِ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَ أَبِي إِلَى أَبِي بَرْزَةَ الأَسْلَمِيِّ، حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي دَارِهِ، وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي ظِلِّ عُلِّيَّةٍ لَهُ مِنْ قَصَبٍ، فَجَلَسْنَا إِلَيْهِ، فَأَنْشَأَ أَبِي يَسْتَطْعِمُهُ الحَدِيثَ فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا بَرْزَةَ، أَلاَ تَرَى مَا وَقَعَ فِيهِ النَّاسُ؟ فَأَوَّلُ شَيْءٍ سَمِعْتُهُ تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ: «إِنِّي احْتَسَبْتُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَنِّي أَصْبَحْتُ سَاخِطًا عَلَى أَحْيَاءِ قُرَيْشٍ، إِنَّكُمْ يَا مَعْشَرَ العَرَبِ، كُنْتُمْ عَلَى الحَالِ الَّذِي عَلِمْتُمْ مِنَ الذِّلَّةِ وَالقِلَّةِ وَالضَّلاَلَةِ، وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ أَنْقَذَكُمْ بِالإِسْلاَمِ وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، حَتَّى بَلَغَ بِكُمْ مَا تَرَوْنَ ، وَهَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا الَّتِي أَفْسَدَتْ بَيْنَكُمْ، إِنَّ ذَاكَ الَّذِي بِالشَّأْمِ، وَاللَّهِ إِنْ يُقَاتِلُ إِلَّا عَلَى الدُّنْيَا، وَإِنَّ هَؤُلاَءِ الَّذِينَ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ، وَاللَّهِ إِنْ يُقَاتِلُونَ إِلَّا عَلَى الدُّنْيَا، وَإِنْ ذَاكَ الَّذِي بِمَكَّةَ وَاللَّهِ إِنْ يُقَاتِلُ إِلَّا عَلَى الدُّنْيَا»
