أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ سِيَاهٍ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ أَبَا وَائِلٍ أَسْأَلُهُ
عَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ قَتَلَهُمْ عَلِيٌّ بِالنَّهْرَوَانِ فِيمَ اسْتَجَابُوا لَهُ وَفِيمَ فَارَقُوهُ وَفِيمَ اسْتَحَلَّ قَتْلَهُمْ فَقَالَ كُنَّا بِصِفِّينَ فَلَمَّا اسْتَحَرَّ الْقَتْلُ بِأَهْلِ الشَّامِ قَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ لِمُعَاوِيَةَ أَرْسِلْ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ الْمُصْحَفَ فَادْعُهُ إِلَى كِتَابِ اللهِ فَإِنَّهُ لَنْ يَأْبَى عَلَيْكَ فَجَاءَ بِهِ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ كِتَابُ اللهِ {أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا نَصِيبًا مِنَ الْكِتَابِ يُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى كِتَابِ اللهِ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَتَوَلَّى فَرِيقٌ مِنْهُمْ وَهُمْ مُعْرِضُونَ} [آل عمران 23] فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أَنَا أَوْلَى بِذَلِكَ بَيْنَنَا كِتَابُ اللهِ فَجَاءَتْهُ الْخَوَارِجُ وَنَحْنُ نَدْعُوهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْقُرَّاءَ وَسُيُوفُهُمْ عَلَى عَوَاتِقِهِمْ فَقَالُوا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا نَنْتَظِرُ بِهَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ عَلَى التَّلِّ أَلَا نَمْشِي إِلَيْهِمْ بِسُيُوفِنَا حَتَّى يَحْكُمَ اللهُ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُمْ؟ فَتَكَلَّمَ سَهْلُ بْنُ حُنَيْفٍ فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّهِمُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ يَعْنِي الصُّلْحَ الَّذِي كَانَ بَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَبَيْنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَلَوْ نَرَى قِتَالًا لَقَاتَلْنَا [263] فَجَاءَ عُمَرُ ؓ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَلَسْنَا عَلَى الْحَقِّ وَهُمْ عَلَى الْبَاطِلِ؟ أَلَيْسَ قَتْلَانَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَقَتْلَاهُمْ فِي النَّارِ؟ قَالَ «بَلَى» قَالَ فَفِيمَ نُعْطِي الدَّنِيَّةَ فِي دِينِنَا وَنَرْجِعُ وَلَمَّا يَحْكُمِ اللهُ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُمْ؟ قَالَ «يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ وَلَنْ يُضَيِّعَنِي أَبَدًا» قَالَ فَرَجَعَ وَهُوَ مُتَغَيِّظٌ فَلَمْ يَصْبِرْ حَتَّى أَتَى أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ فَقَالَ أَلَسْنَا عَلَى الْحَقِّ وَهُمْ عَلَى الْبَاطِلِ؟ أَلَيْسَ قَتْلَانَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَقَتْلَاهُمْ فِي النَّارِ؟ قَالَ بَلَى قَالَ فَلِمَ نُعْطِي الدَّنِيَّةَ وَنَرْجِعُ وَلَمَّا يَحْكُمِ اللهُ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُمْ؟ قَالَ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ إِنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَنْ يُضَيِّعَهُ اللهُ أَبَدًا فَنَزَلَتْ سُورَةُ الْفَتْحِ فَأَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى عُمَرَ ؓ فَأَقْرَأَهَا إِيَّاهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَفَتْحٌ هُوَ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ»

✧ About those people whom ʿAlī killed at al-Nahrawān: how they responded to him, how they parted from him, and why he deemed it lawful to kill them. He said: We were at Ṣiffīn, and when the killing among the people of Syria became intense, ʿAmr b. al-ʿĀṣ said to Muʿāwiyah, “Send the muṣḥaf to ʿAlī and call him to the Book of Allah, for he will not refuse you.” A man brought it and said: “Between us and you is the Book of Allah. {Have you not seen those who were given a portion of the Book? They are invited to the Book of Allah to judge between them, then a party of them turns away in aversion} [Āl ʿImrān: 23].” ʿAlī, ﷺ, said: “I am more entitled to that; between us is the Book of Allah.” Then the Khawārij came to him – at that time we called them the reciters (al-qurrā’) – with their swords on their shoulders, and said: “O Commander of the Believers, what are we waiting for with these people on the hill? Shall we not march against them with our swords until Allah judges between us and them?” Sahl b. Ḥunayf spoke and said: “O people, suspect yourselves, for we saw ourselves on the day of al-Hudaybiyyah – meaning the peace treaty that was between the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the polytheists – and if we had seen fighting we would have fought. Then ʿUmar ؓ came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: ‘Are we not upon the truth and they upon falsehood? Are not our slain in Paradise and their slain in the Fire?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Then why should we accept humiliation in our religion and return before Allah judges between us and them?’ He said: ‘O Ibn al-Khaṭṭāb, I am the Messenger of Allah, and He will never cause me to be lost.’ He said: He returned in anger, and he could not bear it until he went to Abū Bakr, may Allah have mercy on him, and said: ‘Are we not upon the truth and they upon falsehood? Are not our slain in Paradise and their slain in the Fire?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Then why should we accept humiliation and return before Allah judges between us and them?’ He said: ‘O Ibn al-Khaṭṭāb, he is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and Allah will never cause him to be lost.’ Then Sūrat al-Fatḥ was revealed, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent for ʿUmar ؓ and recited it to him. He said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, is it a victory?’ He said: ‘Yes.’”
