حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي سَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ يَقُولُ
إِنَّ عَلِيًّا بَعَثَ إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ، فَجِيءَ بِهِ فَقَالَ: مَا خَلَّفَكَ عَنْ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ؟ قَالَ: دَفَعَ إِلَيَّ ابْنُ عَمِّكَ -يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ - سَيْفًا فَقَالَ: « قَاتِلْ بِهِ مَا قُوتِلَ الْعَدُوُّ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ النَّاسَ يَقْتُلُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا، فَاعْمِدْ بِهِ إِلَى صَخْرَةٍ فَاضْرِبْهُ بِهَا، ثُمَّ الْزَمْ بَيْتَكَ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَكَ مَنِيَّةٌ قَاضِيَةٌ أَوْ يَدٌ خَاطِئَةٌ » قَالَ: خَلُّوا عَنْهُ

✧ Ali sent for Muhammad b. Maslama and he was brought. He said: 'What kept you from this matter?' He said: 'Your cousin — meaning the Prophet ﷺ — gave me a sword and said: "Fight with it as long as the enemy is fought. When you see people killing one another, take it to a rock and strike it against it, then stay in your house until a decisive death or an erring hand comes to you."' He said: 'Leave him.'
