Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32681 — Reports on talk about rulers

Abd al-Wahid bin Ayman said: I said to Sa'id bin Jubayr: "You are going to al-Hajjaj, so speak with care. Do not end up saying something that makes him regard your blood as lawful and kill you." He said: "He will ask me: 'Are you a disbeliever or a believer?' I cannot testify to disbelief against myself, and I have no knowledge of whether I will be saved from his evil or not."
