حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ يُقَالُ لَهُ عَمَّارٌ قَالَ
أَدْرَبْنَا عَامًا، ثُمَّ قَفَلْنَا، وَفِينَا شَيْخٌ مِنْ خَثْعَمَ، فَذُكِرَ الْحَجَّاجُ، فَوَقَعَ فِيهِ وَشَتَمَهُ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: لِمَ تَسُبُّهُ وَهُوَ يُقَاتِلُ أَهْلَ الْعِرَاقِ فِي طَاعَةِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ؟ فَقَالَ: إِنَّهُ هُوَ الَّذِي أَكْفَرَهُمْ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: يَكُونُ فِي هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ خَمْسُ فِتَنٍ، فَقَدْ مَضَتْ أَرْبَعٌ وَبَقِيَتْ وَاحِدَةٌ وَهِيَ الصَّيْلَمُ، وَهِيَ فِيكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الشَّامِ، فَإِنْ أَدْرَكْتَهَا فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَكُونَ حَجَرًا فَكُنْهُ، وَلَا تَكُنْ مَعَ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ، أَلَا فَاتَّخِذْ نَفَقًا فِي الْأَرْضِ

✧ We set out early one year, then returned, and among us was an old man from Khathaam. Al-Hajjaj was mentioned, and he fell to criticizing him and reviling him. So I said to him: 'Why do you revile him when he is fighting the people of Iraq in obedience to the Commander of the Believers?' He said: 'He is the one who made them disbelievers.' Then he said: 'I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: "There will be in this nation five tribulations. Four have passed, and one remains, and it is the Ṣaylam. It is among you, O people of Syria. If you live to see it, then if you are able to be a stone, be one, and do not be with either of the two factions. Indeed, take a tunnel in the ground."'
