It is narrated from Ali bin Zayd (may Allah have mercy on him) that Mus'ab bin al-Zubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) intended to kill one of the chiefs (overseers) of the Ansar. Then Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) came to him and said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Accept my counsel to treat the Ansar with goodness and kindness: accept (the good) from the righteous among them, and overlook the one among them who does wrong." The narrator says: On hearing this, Mus'ab bin al-Zubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) came down from his throne onto the carpet and pressed his cheek to the ground (or covered it with dust), and exclaimed: "The command of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is upon my head and eyes; the command of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is upon my head and eyes!" So he let that man go.
