Hadith 5373

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ ، سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْهَادِ ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ لَقِيَ نَاسًا خَرَجُوا مِنْ عِنْدِ مَرْوَانَ ، فَقَالَ : " مِنْ أَيْنَ جَاءَ هَؤُلَاءِ ؟ " قَالُوا : خَرَجْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِ الْأَمِيرِ مَرْوَانَ ، قَالَ : " وَكُلُّ حَقٍّ رَأَيْتُمُوهُ تَكَلَّمْتُمْ بِهِ ، وَأَعَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ ، وَكُلُّ مُنْكَرٍ رَأَيْتُمُوهُ أَنْكَرْتُمُوهُ وَرَدَدْتُمُوهُ عَلَيْهِ ؟ " قَالُوا : لَا وَاللَّهِ ، بَلْ يَقُولُ مَا يُنْكَرُ ، فَنَقُولُ : قَدْ أَصَبْتَ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ ، فَإِذَا خَرَجْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِهِ قُلْنَا : قَاتَلَهُ اللَّهُ ، مَا أَظْلَمَهُ وَأَفْجَرَهُ ! ! قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ : " كُنَّا بِعَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَعُدُّ هَذَا نِفَاقًا ، لِمَنْ كَانَ هَكَذَا " .
Umar bin Abdullah says that once some people were coming from Marwan, and they met Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them). He asked, "Where are these people coming from?" They replied, "We are coming from the Amir of Madinah, Marwan." Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) said, "Did you speak about the truth you saw there and support it, and did you denounce and object to the evil you saw there?" They said, "By Allah! That did not happen. Rather, he would say something wrong and we would support him, and we would say to him, 'May Allah deal with you in goodness.' And when we left from there, we would say, 'May Allah kill him, how oppressive and wicked he is!'" Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) said, "In the blessed era of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we used to consider this as hypocrisy."
