ما قالوا: في المشركين يدعون المسلمين إلى غير ما ينبغي، أيجيبونهم أم لا، ويكرهون عليه؟
What they said on polytheists who call Muslims to what is improper: do they comply or not when forced to it?
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35256 — What they said on polytheists
٣٥٢٥٦ - حدثنا علي بن مسهر عن أبي حيان عن أبيه عن الحارث بن سويد عن عبد اللَّه قال: (ما) (١) من كلام أتكلم به بين يدي (سلطان) (٢) يدرأ عني (به) (٣) ما بين سوط إلى سوطين إلا كنت متكلما به (٤).
Al-Harith bin Suwayd (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) stated: "There is no speech which I could speak before a ruler, and which would spare me from one or two of his lashes, except that I would certainly speak it."
