حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ قَالَ بَلَغَ مُصْعَبَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ عَرِيفِ الْأَنْصَارِ شَيْءٌ فَهَمَّ بِهِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ”اسْتَوْصُوا بِالْأَنْصَارِ خَيْرًا أَوْ قَالَ مَعْرُوفًا اقْبَلُوا مِنْ مُحْسِنِهِمْ وَتَجَاوَزُوا عَنْ مُسِيئِهِمْ“ فَأَلْقَى مُصْعَبٌ نَفْسَهُ عَنْ سَرِيرِهِ وَأَلْزَقَ خَدَّهُ بِالْبِسَاطِ وَقَالَ أَمْرُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الرَّأْسِ وَالْعَيْنِ فَتَرَكَهُ
It is narrated from Ali bin Zaid that when a complaint from a representative of the Ansar reached Sayyiduna Mus'ab bin Zubair, he intended to (rebuke or punish) him regarding it. Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) went to Sayyiduna Mus'ab and said to him: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: I advise you to treat the Ansar well; accept the word of the one among them who is righteous, and if any of them commits a fault, then forgive him. Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Mus'ab threw himself down from his bed, placed his cheek on the mat, and said: The command of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is upon my eyes and head. Then he let that Ansari go and said nothing to him.
