عَن عُبَادَةَ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ الشَّامِيِّ مِنْ أَهْلِ فِلَسْطِينَ عَن امْرَأَةٍ مِنْهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهَا فَسِيلَةُ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ: سَأَلَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمِنَ الْعَصَبِيَّةِ أَنْ يُحِبَّ الرَّجُلُ قَوْمَهُ؟ قَالَ: «لَا وَلَكِنْ مِنَ الْعَصَبِيَّةِ أَنْ يَنْصُرَ الرَّجُلُ قَوْمَهُ عَلَى الظُّلْمِ» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَابْنُ مَاجَهْ
‘Ubadah bin Katheer al-Shami narrates from his (Palestinian) wife named Faseelah, who said: I heard my father narrating, I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about an issue, saying: O Messenger of Allah! Is it also considered partisanship (‘asabiyyah) that a man loves his own people? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: “No, rather partisanship is that a man supports and helps his people in wrongdoing.” Weak, narrated by Ahmad and Ibn Majah.
