The fourth chapter regarding Abu Barzah al-Aslami's (may Allah be pleased with him) dislike of the conflict between Abd al-Malik and Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr
Hadith 12449
عَنْ سَيَّارِ بْنِ سَلَامَةَ أَبِي الْمِنْهَالِ الرِّيَاحِيِّ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عَلَى أَبِي بَرْزَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ وَإِنَّ فِي أُذُنَيَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَقُرْطَيْنِ قَالَ وَإِنِّي لَغُلَامٌ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَرْزَةَ إِنِّي أَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ أَنِّي أَصْبَحْتُ لَائِمًا لِهَذَا الْحَيِّ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فُلَانٌ هَاهُنَا يُقَاتِلُ عَلَى الدُّنْيَا وَفُلَانٌ هَاهُنَا يُقَاتِلُ عَلَى الدُّنْيَا يَعْنِي عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ بْنَ مَرْوَانَ قَالَ حَتَّى ذَكَرَ ابْنَ الْأَزْرَقِ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ أَحَبَّ النَّاسِ إِلَيَّ لَهَذِهِ الْعِصَابَةُ الْمُلَبَّدَةُ الْخَمِيصَةُ بُطُونُهُمْ مِنْ أَمْوَالِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْخَفِيفَةُ ظُهُورُهُمْ مِنْ دِمَاءِهِمْ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”الْأُمَرَاءُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ الْأُمَرَاءُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ الْأُمَرَاءُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ لِي عَلَيْهِمْ حَقٌّ وَلَهُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ حَقٌّ مَا فَعَلُوا ثَلَاثًا مَا حَكَمُوا فَعَدَلُوا وَاسْتُرْحِمُوا فَرَحِمُوا وَعَاهَدُوا فَوَفَوْا فَمَنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُمْ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ“
Siyar bin Salamah Abu Minhal Ri'ahi narrates: He says, I went with my father to the service of Sayyiduna Abu Barzah Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him). I was so young at that time that I had earrings in my ears. Abu Barzah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I praise Allah Almighty that I keep reproaching the Quraysh for their actions. Here is so-and-so and so-and-so, who fight for the sake of worldly gain. His indication was towards Abdul Malik bin Marwan, until he also mentioned the name of Ibn al-Azraq. Then he said: Of all the people, I like those most who wear patched garments, whose bellies are empty of the wealth of Muslims, and on whose backs the blood of a Muslim is not loaded. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The rulers will be from the Quraysh, the rulers will be from the Quraysh, the rulers will be from the Quraysh. I have a right over them, and they have a right over you, as long as they do three things: that they judge with justice and fairness, that if mercy is appealed from them, they show mercy, and if they make agreements, they fulfill them. So whoever among them does not do these things, upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people.
