Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: There is no punishment upon this Ummah; its punishment is in its own hands. It was asked of him, "How can its punishment be in its own hands?" He replied: "Was not the Battle of Siffin a punishment? Was not the Battle of Nahrawan a punishment? Was not the Battle of Jamal a punishment?" The narrator stated: I said to Abu Dawud (may Allah have mercy on him): Who narrated it from Sa'd? He said: Yahya bin Abi Zaidah did.
