Sunan Abi Dawud 4760

Translation

The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) said: You will have commanders some of whom you will approve and some of whom you will disapprove. He who expresses disapproval with his tongue (Abu Dawud said: This is Hisham’s version) is guiltless; and he who feels disapproval in his heart, is safe, but he who is pleased and follows them. He was asked; shall we not kill them, Messenger of Allah? Abu Dawud’s version has: Shall we not fight with them? He replied: No, so long as they pray.

Notes

• قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ هِشَامٌ بِلِسَانِهِ فَقَدْ بَرِئَ وَمَنْ كَرِهَ بِقَلْبِهِ فَقَدْ سَلِمَ وَلَكِنْ مَنْ رَضِيَ وَتَابَعَ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلاَ نَقْتُلُهُمْ قَالَ ابْنُ دَاوُدَ أَفَلاَ نُقَاتِلُهُمْ قَالَ لاَ مَا صَلَّوْا

  machine translationHishām b. Ḥassān narrates it, and there is disagreement about him. Mukhallad b. al-Ḥusayn narrated it from Hishām, from al-Ḥasan, from his mother, from Umm Salamah; Abū Nuʿaym al-Ḥalabī said this from him. Yaḥyā al-Qaṭṭān, Muʿtamir, Ḥammād b. ʿĪsā, Murajjā b. Rajāʾ, ʿĪsā b. Yūnus, Suwayd b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz and ʿAbdullāh b. Bakr al-Sahmī differed from him, and narrated it from Hishām, from al-Ḥasan, from Ḍabbah b. Miḥṣan, from Umm Salamah, and this is the correct version. Report a problem
