English narration
Narrated by عبد الله بن عمر العدوي
`Abdullah bin `Umar came to us and we hoped that he would narrate to us a good Hadith. But before we asked him, a man got up and said to him, "O Abu `Abdur-Rahman! Narrate to us about the battles during the time of the afflictions, as Allah says-- 'And fight them until there is no more afflictions (i.e. no more worshipping of others besides Allah).'" (2.193) Ibn `Umar said (to the man), "Do you know what is meant by afflictions? Let your mother bereave you! Muhammad used to fight against the pagans, for a Muslim was put to trial in his religion (The pagans will either kill him or chain him as a captive). His fighting was not like your fighting which is carried on for the sake of ruling."
النص العربي
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ شَاهِينَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ ، عَنْ بَيَانٍ ، عَنْ وَبَرَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، قَالَ : "
خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، فَرَجَوْنَا أَنْ يُحَدِّثَنَا حَدِيثًا حَسَنًا ، قَالَ : فَبَادَرَنَا إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ : يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدِّثْنَا عَنِ الْقِتَالِ فِي الْفِتْنَةِ ، وَاللَّهُ يَقُولُ : وَقَاتِلُوهُمْ حَتَّى لا تَكُونَ فِتْنَةٌ سورة البقرة آية 193 ، فَقَالَ : هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا الْفِتْنَةُ ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ ؟ ، إِنَّمَا كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وسلم يُقَاتِلُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَكَانَ الدُّخُولُ فِي دِينِهِمْ فِتْنَةً ، وَلَيْسَ كَقِتَالِكُمْ عَلَى الْمُلْكِ
