Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

إليك إليك ، قال: فأبى الشامي إلا أن يواقعه، فلما رأى ذلك أبو سعيد ألقى السيف وقال: " {لئن بسطت إلي يدك لتقتلني ما أنا بباسط يدي إليك لأقتلك إني أخاف الله رب العالمين} [المائدة: 28] "، قال: فأخذ الشامي بيده فأنزله من الجبل، قال أبو سعيد: لقد رأيتني أقاتل مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في هذا المكان المشركين ، قال: فقال له الشامي: من أنت؟ قال: أنا أبو سعيد الخدري، قال: فقال له: اذهب بارك الله فيك

To you, to you. He said: The Shami refused except to make peace with him. When Abu Saeed saw that, he threw down the sword and said: {If you extend your hand to me to kill me, I will not extend my hand to you to kill you. Indeed, I fear Allah, Lord of the Worlds} [Al-Ma’idah: 28]. He said: So the Shami took his hand and took him down from the mountain. Abu Saeed said: You saw me fighting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in this place the polytheists. He said: So he said to him. Al-Shami: Who are you? He said: I am Abu Saeed Al-Khudri. He said: So he said to him: Go, may Allah bless you

في نزعي وتأميري يقتتلون؟ فرجع فدخل الدار، فما أعلمه خرج بعد ذلك حتى قتل قال محمد: وقعت الفتنة حين وقعت وأصحاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لعشرة آلاف أو أكثر، فلو أذن لهم لضربوهم حتى يخرجوهم من أقطار المدينة، قال محمد: فأتاه ابن الزبير، وابن عمر والحسن بن علي ، قال ابن عون، وقال نافع، لبس ابن عمر الدرع مرتين، ونبئت أن أبا هريرة كان يطيف بالدار فيقول: أم طاب أم ضربا

Why do I and my leadership fight? So he returned and entered the house, and what I know is that he left after that until he was killed.

Ibn Aoun said, and Nafi’ said: Ibn Umar wore armor twice, and I was informed that Abu Hurairah used to go around the house and say: Umm Good or bad

بم يستحلون قتلي، وإنما يحل القتل على ثلاثة: من كفر بعد إيمان، وزنا بعد إحصان، أو قتل نفسا بغير نفس، ولم آت من ذلك شيئا، والله لئن قتلتموني لا تصلوا جميعا، ولا تجاهدوا عدوا جميعا، إلا عن أهواء متفرقة

Why do they make killing me lawful? Killing is only lawful for three: whoever disbelieves after believing, who commits adultery after chastity, or who kills a soul for other than a soul, and I have done nothing of that. By Allah, if you kill me, you will not pray together, nor fight an enemy all together, except for separate desires.
