اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي سَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ ، يَقُولُ : إِنَّ عَلِيًّا بَعَثَ إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ ، فَجِيءَ بِهِ ، فَقَالَ : مَا خَلَّفَكَ عَنْ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ ؟ قَالَ : دَفَعَ إِلَيَّ ابْنُ عَمِّكَ يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَيْفًا ، فَقَالَ : " قَاتِلْ بِهِ مَا قُوتِلَ الْعَدُوُّ ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ النَّاسَ يَقْتُلُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا ، فَاعْمَدْ بِهِ إِلَى صَخْرَةٍ ، فَاضْرِبْهُ بِهَا ، ثُمَّ الْزَمْ بَيْتَكَ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَكَ مَنِيَّةٌ قَاضِيَةٌ ، أَوْ يَدٌ خَاطِئَةٌ " ، قَالَ : خَلُّوا عَنْهُ.
Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) called Muhammad bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him). When he came, Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him, "Why have you withdrawn from the affairs of the state?" He replied, "Your cousin, that is, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), gave me a sword and said, 'Fight the enemy with this sword. When you see that people have started killing each other among themselves, then take this sword and strike it on a rock, and sit in your house until death comes to you and decides your matter, or a sinful hand reaches you.'" Upon hearing this, Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Leave him alone."
