Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 700 — I was in the palace with al-Hajjaj while

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ الْبَغَوِيُّ، ثنا قَطَنُ بْنُ نُسَيْرٍ الذِّرَاعُ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ فِي الْقَصْرِ مَعَ الْحَجَّاجِ، وَهُوَ يَعْرِضُ النَّاسَ مِنْ أَجْلِ ابْنِ الْأَشْعَثِ، فَجَاءَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ حَتَّى دَنَا، فَقَالَ لَهُ الْحَجَّاجُ: هِيهِ يَا خِبْثَةُ، جَوَّالٌ فِي الْفِتْنَةِ مَرَّةً مَعَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، وَمَرَّةً مَعَ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، وَمَرَّةً مَعَ ابْنِ الْأَشْعَثِ، أَمَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَأَسْتَأْصِلَنَّكَ كَمَا تُسْتَأْصَلُ الصَّمْغَةُ، وَلَأُجَرِّدَنَّكَ كَمَا يُجَرَّدُ الضَّبُّ، فَقَالَ: مَنْ يَعْنِي الْأَمِيرُ أَصْلَحَهُ اللهُ؟ قَالَ الْحَجَّاجُ: إِيَّاكَ أَعْنِي، أَصَمَّ اللهُ سَمْعَكَ، فَاسْتَرْجَعَ أَنَسٌ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّا لِلَّهِ، وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ» ثُمَّ خَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ، فَقَالَ: «لَوْلَا أَنِّي ذَكَرْتُ وَلَدِي فَخَشِيتُهُ عَلَيْهِمْ، لَكَلَّمْتُهُ فِي مَقَامِي بِكَلَامٍ لَا يَسْتَجِيبُنِي بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا»
Ali bin Zayd (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I was in the palace with al-Hajjaj while he was reviewing the people because of the affair of Ibn al-Ash'ath. Then Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) came until he drew near, and al-Hajjaj said to him: Ho there, you wicked one! Roaming about in the turmoil, once with Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), once with Ibn al-Zubayr, and once with Ibn al-Ash'ath! By the One in whose Hand is my soul, I will uproot you as gum is plucked from a tree, and I will strip your skin as the skin of a lizard is stripped. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Whom does the Amir (may Allah set him right) mean? Al-Hajjaj said: It is you I mean, may Allah make your hearing deaf. So Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) recited the istirja' and said: "Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un (We belong to Allah and to Him we return)." Then he left him and said: "Had I not remembered my children and feared for them, I would have spoken to him, right where I stood, words after which he could never answer me."
