Hadith 16989

حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ الشَّامِيُّ ، مِنْ أَهْلِ فِلَسْطِينَ ، عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهَا : فَسِيلَةُ ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ : سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ : سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَمِنَ الْعَصَبِيَّةِ أَنْ يُحِبَّ الرَّجُلُ قَوْمَهُ ؟ قَالَ : " لَا ، وَلَكِنْ مِنَ الْعَصَبِيَّةِ أَنْ يَنْصُرَ الرَّجُلُ قَوْمَهُ عَلَى الظُّلْمِ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ : سَمِعْتُ مَنْ يَذْكُرُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَنَّ أَبَاهَا يَعْنِي فَسِيلَةَ وَاثِلَةُ بْنُ الْأَسْقَعِ ، وَرَأَيْتُ أَبِي جَعَلَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فِي آخِرِ أَحَادِيثِ وَاثِلَةَ ، فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ أَلْحَقَهُ فِي حَدِيثِ وَاثِلَةَ فِي الأَصَلِ
Faseelah, a woman, narrates from her father that she asked the Prophet (peace be upon him): "O Messenger of Allah! Is it also considered 'asabiyyah (tribalism) if a person loves his own people?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied: "No, 'asabiyyah is that a person helps his people in wrongdoing." Imam Ahmad's son says that he heard from the scholars that Faseelah's father was Hazrat Waathilah (may Allah be pleased with him), and then his father also mentioned this hadith at the end of the narrations of Hazrat Waathilah (may Allah be pleased with him), so I think that this is indeed the hadith of Hazrat Waathilah (may Allah be pleased with him).
