وَزَادَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ , عَنْ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ , قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي فُلَانٌ ، وَحَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ , عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الْمَعَافِرِيِّ , أَنَّ بُكَيْرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَهُ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ , أَنَّ رَجُلًا , أَتَى ابْنَ عُمَرَ , فَقَالَ : يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ , مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى أَنْ تَحُجَّ عَامًا ، وَتَعْتَمِرَ عَامًا ، وَتَتْرُكَ الْجِهَادَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، وَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا رَغَّبَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ ؟ قَالَ : " يَا ابْنَ أَخِي بُنِيَ الْإِسْلَامُ عَلَى خَمْسٍ إِيمَانٍ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ، وَالصَّلَاةِ الْخَمْسِ ، وَصِيَامِ رَمَضَانَ ، وَأَدَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ ، وَحَجِّ الْبَيْتِ " , قَالَ : يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَلَا تَسْمَعُ مَا ذَكَرَ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ وَإِنْ طَائِفَتَانِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اقْتَتَلُوا فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَهُمَا فَإِنْ بَغَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى الأُخْرَى فَقَاتِلُوا الَّتِي تَبْغِي حَتَّى تَفِيءَ إِلَى أَمْرِ اللَّهِ سورة الحجرات آية 9 وَقَاتِلُوهُمْ حَتَّى لا تَكُونَ فِتْنَةٌ سورة البقرة آية 193 , قَالَ : " فَعَلْنَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَكَانَ الْإِسْلَامُ قَلِيلًا ، فَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ يُفْتَنُ فِي دِينِهِ إِمَّا قَتَلُوهُ وَإِمَّا يُعَذِّبُونَهُ حَتَّى كَثُرَ الْإِسْلَامُ ، فَلَمْ تَكُنْ فِتْنَةٌ " .
‘And Uthman bin Salih narrated in more detail that Abdullah bin Wahb narrated to him, he was informed by so-and-so, Abdullah bin Rabee’ah and Haywah bin Shurayh, they were informed by Bakr bin Amr Mu’afiri, from Bukayr bin Abdullah, from Nafi’, that:
A man (Hakeem) came to Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) and said, “O Abu Abdur-Rahman! What is the matter with you that you perform Hajj one year and ‘Umrah the next year, but do not participate in Jihad in the way of Allah, even though you know how much Allah has encouraged Jihad?”
Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) replied, “My nephew! Islam is built upon five things: to have faith in Allah and His Messenger, to perform the five daily prayers, to fast in Ramadan, to give Zakat, and to perform Hajj.”
He said, “O Abu Abdur-Rahman! Do you not know what Allah the Exalted has said in the Book of Allah «وإن طائفتان من المؤمنين اقتتلوا فأصلحوا بينهما»: ‘And if two groups of the believers fight each other, make peace between them.’ Up to Allah’s statement «إلى أمر الله» (and Allah the Exalted’s statement: ‘And fight them’) until there is no more discord.”
Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said, “We fulfilled this obligation during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). At that time, the Muslims were very few and the disbelievers were many, so the disbelievers would corrupt the religion of the Muslims, sometimes killing the Muslims, sometimes causing them harm, until the Muslims became many and the discord disappeared.”

Hadith 4650
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ بُكَيْرٍ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا : أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَهُ فَقَالَ : يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، أَلَا تَسْمَعُ مَا ذَكَرَ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ وَإِنْ طَائِفَتَانِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اقْتَتَلُوا سورة الحجرات آية 9 إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ ، فَمَا يَمْنَعُكَ أَنْ لَا تُقَاتِلَ كَمَا ذَكَرَ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ ؟ فَقَالَ : يَا ابْنَ أَخِي ، أَغْتَرُّ بِهَذِهِ الْآيَةِ وَلَا أُقَاتِلُ ، أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَغْتَرَّ بِهَذِهِ الْآيَةِ الَّتِي ، يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى : وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا سورة النساء آية 93 إِلَى آخِرِهَا ، قَالَ : فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ ، يَقُولُ : وَقَاتِلُوهُمْ حَتَّى لا تَكُونَ فِتْنَةٌ سورة البقرة آية 193 ، قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ : قَدْ فَعَلْنَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ كَانَ الْإِسْلَامُ قَلِيلًا ، فَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ يُفْتَنُ فِي دِينِهِ ، إِمَّا يَقْتُلُونَهُ ، وَإِمَّا يُوثِقُونَهُ حَتَّى كَثُرَ الْإِسْلَامُ ، فَلَمْ تَكُنْ فِتْنَةٌ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى أَنَّهُ لَا يُوَافِقُهُ فِيمَا يُرِيدُ ، قَالَ : فَمَا قَوْلُكَ فِي عَلِيٍّ وَعُثْمَانَ ؟ قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ : " مَا قَوْلِي فِي عَلِيٍّ وَعُثْمَانَ ، أَمَّا عُثْمَانُ، فَكَانَ اللَّهُ قَدْ عَفَا عَنْهُ ، فَكَرِهْتُمْ أَنْ يَعْفُوَ عَنْهُ ، وَأَمَّا عَلِيٌّ ، فَابْنُ عَمِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَخَتَنُهُ ، وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ ، وَهَذِهِ ابْنَتُهُ أَوْ بِنْتُهُ حَيْثُ تَرَوْنَ " .
Narrated Ibn `Umar: That a man came to him (while two groups of Muslims were fighting) and said, "O Abu `Abdur Rahman! Don't you hear what Allah has mentioned in His Book: 'And if two groups of believers fight against each other...' (49.9) So what prevents you from fighting as Allah has mentioned in His Book?"' Ibn `Umar said, "O son of my brother! I would rather be blamed for not fighting because of this Verse than to be blamed because of another Verse where Allah says: 'And whoever kills a believer intentionally..." (4.93) Then that man said, "Allah says:-- 'And fight them until there is no more afflictions (worshipping other besides Allah) and the religion (i.e. worship) will be all for Allah (Alone)" (8.39) Ibn `Umar said, "We did this during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger when the number of Muslims was small, and a man was put to trial because of his religion, the pagans would either kill or chain him; but when the Muslims increased (and Islam spread), there was no persecution." When that man saw that Ibn `Umar did not agree to his proposal, he said, "What is your opinion regarding `Ali and `Uthman?" Ibn `Umar said, "What is my opinion regarding `Ali and `Uthman? As for `Uthman, Allah forgave him and you disliked to forgive him, and `Ali is the cousin and son-in-law of Allah's Messenger ." Then he pointed out with his hand and said, "And that is his daughter's (house) which you can see."
