Imam Amir al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that when Marwan fought al-Dahhak bin Qays, he sent a message to Ayman bin Khuraym al-Asadi: "We would like you to fight alongside us." He said: "My father and my paternal uncle both took part in the Battle of Badr, and they took a pledge from me that I would not fight anyone who bears witness that there is no god but Allah. If you bring me (a written) release from Hell, I will fight with you." Marwan said: "Go away," and he spoke ill of him and insulted him. So Ayman recited these verses: "I am not going to fight a man who prays, for the sake of another ruler from Quraysh. Should he have his rule and I bear my sin? I seek refuge with Allah from such ignorance and folly. Should I fight a Muslim for no reason? Then my life would bring me no benefit as long as I live."
