حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، ثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ خُنَيْسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَدْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: كَانَتْ فِي نَفْسِي مَسْأَلَةٌ قَدْ أَحْزَنَتْنِي لَمْ أسْأَلْ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْهَا، وَلَمْ أسْمَعْ أَحَدًا يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْهَا، فَكُنْتُ أَتَحَيَّنُهُ فَدَخَلْتُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَهُوَ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَوَافَقْتُهُ عَلَى حَالَيْنِ كُنْتُ أَُحِبُّ أَنْ أُوَافِقَهُ عَلَيْهِمَا، وَجَدْتُهُ فَارِغًا طَيِّبَ النَّفْسِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، ائْذَنْ لِي فَأَسْأَلَكَ، قَالَ: «نَعَمْ، سَلْ عَمَّا بَدَا لَكَ» قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا الْإِيمَانُ؟ قَالَ: «السَّماحُة وَالصَّبْرُ» ، قُلْتُ: وَأَيُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَفْضَلُهُمْ إِيمَانًا؟ قَالَ: «أَحْسَنُهُمْ خُلُقًا» ، قُلْتُ: فَأَيُّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَفْضَلُ إِسْلَامًا؟ قَالَ: «مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ يَدِهِ وَلِسَانِهِ» قُلْتُ: فَأَيُّ الْجِهَادِ أَفْضَلُ؟ فَطَأْطَأَ رَأْسَهُ فَصَمَتَ طَوِيلًا حَتَّى خِفْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ قَدْ شَقَقْتُ عَلَيْهِ وتَمَنَّيْتُ أَنْ لَمْ أَكُنْ سَأَلْتُهُ وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ بِالْأَمْسِ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ أَعْظَمَ النَّاسِ فِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ جُرْمًا لَمَنْ سَأَلَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ لَمْ يُحَرَّمْ عَلَيْهِمْ فَحُرِّمَ مِنْ أَجْلِ مَسْأَلَتِهِ» فَقُلْتُ: أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنْ غَضِبِ اللهِ وَغَضِبِ رَسُولِهِ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ: «كَيْفَ قُلْتَ؟» : قُلْتُ: أَيُّ الْجِهَادِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: «كَلِمَةُ عَدْلٍ عِنْدَ إِمَامٍ جَائِرٍ»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umayr bin Qatadah al-Laythi (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: There was a question in my heart which had grieved me. I had not asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about it, nor had I heard anyone ask him about it, so I kept looking for a suitable moment with him (peace and blessings be upon him). One day I came in while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was performing ablution, and I found him in two states in which I liked to find him: I found him free and in good spirits. I said: "O Messenger of Allah, permit me to ask you something." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, ask whatever you wish." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, what is faith?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Generosity and patience." I asked: "Which of the believers is best in faith?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one with the best character." I asked: "Which of the Muslims is best in Islam?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one from whose hand and tongue the other Muslims are safe." I asked: "Which jihad is best?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) lowered his head and remained silent for a long time, until I feared that I had burdened him, and I wished that I had not asked this question, for only the day before I had heard him say: "The greatest criminal among the Muslims is the one who asks about something that was not forbidden to them, and it is then forbidden because of his question." So I said: "I seek refuge with Allah from the anger of Allah and the anger of His Messenger." He (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head and said: "What did you say?" I said: "Which jihad is best?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A word of justice before a tyrannical ruler."
