Hadith 1211

حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَزْرَقُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ قَالَ : كُنَّا بِالْأَهْوَازِ نُقَاتِلُ الْحَرُورِيَّةَ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا عَلَى جُرُفِ نَهَرٍ إِذَا رَجُلٌ يُصَلِّي وَإِذَا لِجَامُ دَابَّتِهِ بِيَدِهِ ، فَجَعَلَتِ الدَّابَّةُ تُنَازِعُهُ وَجَعَلَ يَتْبَعُهَا ، قَالَ شُعْبَةُ هُوَ أَبُو بَرْزَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيُّ ، فَجَعَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْخَوَارِجِ , يَقُولُ : اللَّهُمَّ افْعَلْ بِهَذَا الشَّيْخِ ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ الشَّيْخُ قَالَ : إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ قَوْلَكُمْ وَإِنِّي غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سِتَّ غَزَوَاتٍ أَوْ سَبْعَ غَزَوَاتٍ وَثَمَانِيَ وَشَهِدْتُ تَيْسِيرَهُ ، وَإِنِّي إِنْ كُنْتُ أَنْ أُرَاجِعَ مَعَ دَابَّتِي أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَدَعَهَا تَرْجِعُ إِلَى مَأْلَفِهَا فَيَشُقُّ عَلَيَّ " .
Narrated Al-Azraq bin Qais: We were at Al-Ahwaz fighting the Al-Haruriya (tribe). While I was at the bank of a river a man was praying and the reins of his animal were in his hands and the animal was struggling and he was following the animal. (Shu`ba, a sub-narrator, said that man was Abu Barza Al-Aslami). A man from the Khawarij said, "O Allah! Be harsh to this sheik." And when the sheik (Abu Barza) finished his prayer, he said, "I heard your remark. No doubt, I participated with Allah's Apostle in six or seven or eight holy battles and saw his leniency, and no doubt, I would rather retain my animal than let it return to its stable, as it would cause me much trouble. "
