حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ثنا أَبُو حُذَيْفَةَ ثنا سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ قَالَ قَالَ
سَهْلُ بْنُ حُنَيْفٍ يَوْمَ صِفِّينَ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّهِمُوا الرَّأْيَ عَلَى الدِّينِ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا وَنَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَوْ نَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ نَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ لَرَدَدْنَا وَمَا جَعَلْنَا سُيُوفَنَا عَلَى عَوَاتِقِنَا فِي أَمْرٍ إِلَّا سَهُلَ لَنَا إِلَى أَمْرٍ نَعْرِفُهُ غَيْرَ أَمْرِنَا هَذَا وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا يَوْمَ أَبِي جَنْدَلٍ وَلَوْ نَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ نَرُدَّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَمْرَهُ لَرَدَدْنَاهُ»

✧ Sahl b. Hunayf said on the day of Siffin: "O people, be suspicious of personal opinion in religion, for I have seen us when we were with the Messenger of God ﷺ — and had we been able to oppose him, we would have — yet we never placed our swords on our shoulders for any matter except that it became easy for us, leading to a matter we recognized, other than this matter of ours. And I have seen us on the day of Abu Jandal; had we been able to reject the command of the Messenger of God ﷺ, we would have rejected it."
