English translation

[4634] 95 - (...) It was narrated that Shaqiq said: I heard Sahl bin Hunayf say at Siffin: O people, do not put too much faith in your own ideas, for by Allâh, I remember the day of Abû Jandal (i.e. Al-Hudaibiyah). If I could have gone against the command of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ I would have done so. By Allâh, we have never put our swords on our shoulders for any purpose, but the fighting resulted in a situation we feel comfortable with, except in this affair of yours (i.e., the fighting between 'Ali and Mu'awiyah, may Allâh be pleased with them).

95 - (1785) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سَهْلَ بْنَ حُنَيْفٍ، يَقُولُ بِصِفِّينَ: «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، اتَّهِمُوا رَأْيَكُمْ، وَاللهِ، لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي يَوْمَ أَبِي جَنْدَلٍ، وَلَوْ أَنِّي أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَرُدَّ أَمْرَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَرَدَدْتُهُ، وَاللهِ، مَا وَضَعْنَا سُيُوفَنَا عَلَى عَوَاتِقِنَا إِلَى أَمْرٍ قَطُّ، إِلَّا أَسْهَلْنَ بِنَا إِلَى أَمْرٍ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا أَمْرَكُمْ هَذَا»، لَمْ يَذْكُرِ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ إِلَى أَمْرٍ قَطُّ،
