Musnad Ahmad 5381

Translation

✧ Abdullah b. Umar came out to us while we were hoping that he would relate a hadith to us (or a good hadith). A man among us called al-Hakam forestalled us and said: "O Abu Abd al-Rahman, what do you say about fighting in the fitnah?" He said: "May your mother be bereft of you! Do you know what the fitnah is? Muhammad ﷺ used to fight the idolaters, and entering into them (or into their religion) was a fitnah, and it is not like your fighting over dominion."
