4012. It was narrated that Abu Umāmah said: "A man came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ at the first pillar and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, which Jihād is best?' but he kept quiet. When he saw the second Pillar, he asked again, and he kept quiet. When he stoned 'Aqabah Pillar, he placed his foot in the stirrup, to ride, and said: 'Where is the one who was asking?' (The man) said: 'Here I am, O Messenger of Allāh.' He said: 'A word of truth spoken to an unjust ruler.'" (Hasan)

4012 - حَدَّثَنَا رَاشِدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الرَّمْلِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي غَالِبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ، قَالَ: عَرَضَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ الْجَمْرَةِ الْأُولَى، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الْجِهَادِ أَفْضَلُ؟ فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ، فَلَمَّا رَمَى الْجَمْرَةَ الثَّانِيَةَ، سَأَلَهُ، فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ، فَلَمَّا رَمَى جَمْرَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ، وَضَعَ رِجْلَهُ فِي الْغَرْزِ لِيَرْكَبَ، قَالَ: «أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ؟» قَالَ: أَنَا، يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‍‍ قَالَ: «كَلِمَةُ حَقٍّ عِنْدَ ذِي سُلْطَانٍ جَائِرٍ»
