حَدَّثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ الْبَلْخِيُّ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا خَطَّابُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ وَالْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ قَالَا ثنا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَا ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ عَنِ الْوَضِينِ بْنِ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «خُذُوا الْعَطَاءَ مَا دَامَ عَطَاءً فَإِذَا صَارَ رِشْوَةً فِي الدِّينِ فَلَا تَأْخُذُوهُ وَلَسْتُمْ بِتَارِكِيهِ يَمْنَعْكُمُ الْفَقْرَ وَالْحَاجَةَ أَلَا إِنَّ رَحَى الْإِسْلَامِ دَائِرَةٌ فَدُورُوا مَعَ الْكِتَابِ حَيْثُ دَارَ أَلَا إِنَّ الْكِتَابَ وَالسُّلْطَانَ سَيَفْتَرِقَانِ فَلَا تُفَارِقُوا الْكِتَابَ أَلَا إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَرَاءُ يَقْضُونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ مَا لَا يَقْضُونَ لَكُمْ إِنْ عَصَيْتُمُوهُمْ قَتَلُوكُمْ وَإِنْ أَطَعْتُمُوهُمْ أَضَلُّوكُمْ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ نَصْنَعُ؟ قَالَ «كَمَا صَنَعَ أَصْحَابُ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ نُشِرُوا بِالْمَنَاشِيرَ وَحُمِلُوا عَلَى الْخَشَبِ مَوْتٌ فِي طَاعَةِ اللهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ حَيَاةٍ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللهِ»

✧ I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: “Take the stipend as long as it is a stipend. But when it becomes bribery in religion, do not take it. You will not abandon it; poverty and need will prevent you. Indeed, the millstone of Islam is turning, so turn with the Book wherever it turns. Indeed, the Book and the ruling authority will separate, so do not part with the Book. Indeed, there will be rulers over you who decide for themselves what they do not decide for you. If you disobey them, they will kill you, and if you obey them, they will lead you astray.” They said, “O Messenger of God, what should we do?” He said, “As the companions of Jesus son of Mary did: they were sawn with saws and carried on wood. Death in obedience to God is better than life in disobedience to God.”
