Hadith of Sahl bin Sa'd al-Sa'idi, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 7532 — he said: I saw al-Hajjaj beating Abbas bin
حَدَّثَنَا مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ قُدَامَةَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ الْحَجَّاجَ يَضْرِبُ عَبَّاسَ بْنَ سَهْلٍ فِي أَمْرِ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، فَأَتَاهُ سَهْلُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، وَهُوَ شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لَهُ ضِفْرَانِ وَعَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَانِ : إِزَارٌ ، وَرِدَاءٌ ، فَوَقَفَ بَيْنَ السِّمَاطَيْنِ ، فَقَالَ : يَا حَجَّاجُ ، أَلَا تَحْفَظُ فِينَا وَصِيَّةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ؟ قَالَ : وَمَا أَوْصَى بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِيكُمْ ؟ قَالَ : أَوْصَى أَنْ يُحْسَنَ إِلَى مُحْسِنِ الْأَنْصَارِ ، وَيُعْفَى عَنْ مُسِيئِهِمْ قَالَ : فَأَرْسَلَهُ .
It is narrated from Qudamah bin Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: I saw al-Hajjaj beating Abbas bin Sahl (may Allah have mercy on him) in connection with the affair of Sayyiduna Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them both). Just then Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived. He was a very elderly man with his hair in two braids, and he was wearing two garments, namely a waist-wrapper and a sheet. He came and stood between the two rows of people and said: "O Hajjaj, will you not observe the instruction of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) concerning us?" He asked: "What did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) instruct concerning you people?" He said: "He (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed that 'those of the Ansar who do good should be treated well, and those of them who do wrong should be pardoned.'" The narrator said: On hearing this, al-Hajjaj released him (Abbas bin Sahl (may Allah have mercy on him)).
