أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَلِيمِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ الصَّائِغُ أَنْبَأَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الشَّذُورِيُّ ثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ هُبَيْرَةَ ثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جُحَادَةَ عَنْ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ خَارِجَةَ قَالَ
لَمَّا كَانَتِ الْفِتْنَةُ الْأُولَى أَشْكَلَتْ عَلَيَّ فَقُلْتُ اللَّهُمَّ أَرِنِي أَمْرًا مِنْ أَمْرِ الْحَقِّ أَتَمَسَّكُ بِهِ قَالَ فَأُرِيتُ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةَ وَبَيْنَهُمَا حَائِطٌ غَيْرُ طَوِيلٍ وَإِذَا أَنَا بِجَائِزٍ فَقُلْتُ لَوْ تَشَبَّثْتُ بِهَذَا الْجَائِزِ لَعَلِّي أَهْبِطُ إِلَى قَتْلَى أَشْجَعَ لِيُخْبِرُونِي قَالَ فَهَبَطْتُ بِأَرْضٍ ذَاتِ شَجَرٍ وَإِذَا أَنَا بِنَفَرٍ جُلُوسٌ فَقُلْتُ أَنْتُمُ الشُّهَدَاءُ؟ قَالُوا لَا نَحْنُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ قُلْتُ فَأَيْنَ الشُّهَدَاءُ؟ قَالُوا تَقَدَّمْ إِلَى الدَّرَجَاتِ الْعُلَى إِلَى مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ فَتَقَدَّمْتُ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِدَرَجَةٍ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ مَا هِيَ فِي السَّعَةِ وَالْحَسَنِ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِمُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِأُمَّتِي فَقَالَ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِنَّكَ لَا تَدْرِي مَا أَحْدَثُوا بَعْدَكَ أَرَاقُوا دِمَاءَهُمْ وَقَتَلُوا إِمَامَهُمْ أَلَا فَعَلُوا كَمَا فَعَلَ خَلِيلِي سَعْدٌ قُلْتُ أُرَانِي قَدْ أُرِيتُ أَذْهَبُ إِلَى سَعْدٍ فَأَنْظُرُ مَعَ مَنْ هُوَ فَأَكُونُ مَعَهُ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقَصَصْتُ عَلَيْهِ الرُّؤْيَا فَمَا أَكْثَرَ بِهَا فَرَحًا وَقَالَ «قَدْ شَقِيَ مَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ خَلِيلًا» قُلْتُ فِي أَيِّ الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ «لَسْتُ مَعَ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا» قُلْتُ فَكَيْفَ تَأْمُرُنِي؟ قَالَ «أَلَكَ مَاشِيَةٌ؟» قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ «فَاشْتَرِ مَاشِيَةً وَاعْتَزِلْ فِيهَا حَتَّى تَنْجَلِيَ»

✧ When the first fitnah occurred, it became unclear to me, so I said: O Allah, show me a matter of the truth that I may hold fast to. He said: Then I was shown this world and the Hereafter, and between them a wall, not tall, and I was at a bridge. I said: If I cling to this bridge, perhaps I will descend to some brave slain ones and they will inform me. He said: I descended to a land with trees, and I was at a group sitting. I said: Are you the martyrs? They said: No, we are the angels. I said: Where are the martyrs? They said: Go forward to the high ranks, to Muhammad ﷺ. So I went forward, and I was at a rank—Allah knows best its vastness and beauty—and I was with Muhammad ﷺ and Ibrahim ﷺ, and he was saying to Ibrahim ﷺ: Seek forgiveness for my Ummah. Ibrahim said to him: You do not know what they innovated after you; they shed their blood and killed their imam. Why did they not do as my friend Sa'd did? I said: I think I have been shown that I should go to Sa'd and see with whom he is, and be with him. So I came to him and related the dream to him, and he was not much pleased by it, and he said: 'Indeed, he is wretched who does not have Ibrahim as a friend.' I said: With which of the two factions are you? He said: 'I am not with either of them.' I said: Then what do you command me? He said: 'Do you have livestock?' I said: No. He said: 'Buy livestock and seclude yourself with it until the matter is resolved.'
