حَدَّثَنَا زَحْمَوَيْهِ، حَدَّثَنَا صَالِحُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ:
لَمَّا قَاتَلَ مَرْوَانُ الضَّحَّاكَ بْنَ قَيْسٍ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى أَيْمَنَ بْنِ خُرَيْمٍ الْأَسَدِيِّ فَقَالَ: إِنَّا نُحِبُّ أَنْ تُقَاتِلَ مَعَنَا. فَقَالَ: إِنَّ أَبِي وَعَمِّي شَهِدَا بَدْرًا فَعَهِدَا إِلَيَّ أَنْ لَا أُقَاتِلَ أَحَدًا يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، فَإِنْ جِئْتَنِي بِبَرَاءَةٍ مِنَ النَّارِ قَاتَلْتُ مَعَكَ. فَقَالَ: اذْهَبْ، وَوَقَعَ فِيهِ وَسَبَّهُ، فَأَنْشَأَ أَيْمَنُ يَقُولُ: وَلَسْتُ مُقَاتِلًا رَجُلًا يُصَلِّي عَلَى سُلْطَانٍ آخَرَ مِنْ قُرَيْشِ لَهُ سُلْطَانُهُ وَعَلَيَّ إِثْمِي مَعَاذَ اللهِ مِنْ جَهْلٍ وَطَيْشِ أُقَاتِلُ مُسْلِمًا فِي غَيْرِ شَيْءٍ ؟ فَلَيْسَ بِنَافِعِي مَا عِشْتُ عَيْشِي.

✧ When Marwan fought al-Dahhak b. Qays, he sent to Ayman b. Khuraym al-Asadi and said, "We would like you to fight with us." He said, "My father and my uncle witnessed Badr and instructed me not to fight anyone who testifies that there is no god but Allah. If you bring me a clearance from the Fire, I will fight with you." He said, "Go," and he reviled and insulted him. So Ayman began to recite: "I am not one to fight a man who prays, on behalf of another authority from Quraysh; his is his authority, and upon me is my sin. God forbid ignorance and recklessness! Should I fight a Muslim for nothing? It will not benefit me as long as I live."
