Hadith 4760
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، وَسُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ ، الْمَعْنَى ، قَالَا : أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ الْمُعَلَّى بْنِ زِيَادٍ ، وَهِشَامِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ ضَبَّةَ بْنِ مِحْصَنٍ ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَتْ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : سَتَكُونُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَئِمَّةٌ ، تَعْرِفُونَ مِنْهُمْ وَتُنْكِرُونَ ، فَمَنْ أَنْكَرَ , قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : قَالَ هِشَامٌ بِلِسَانِهِ فَقَدْ بَرِئَ ، وَمَنْ كَرِهَ بِقَلْبِهِ ، فَقَدْ سَلِمَ ، وَلَكِنْ مَنْ رَضِيَ وَتَابَعَ ، فَقِيلَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَفَلَا نَقْتُلُهُمْ ؟ , قَالَ ابْنُ دَاوُدَ : أَفَلَا نُقَاتِلُهُمْ ؟ , قَالَ : لَا ، مَا صَلَّوْا " .
Umm Salamah, wife of the Prophet ﷺ is reported to have said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: You will have commanders some of whom you will approve and some of whom you will disapprove. He who expresses disapproval with his tongue (Abu Dawud said: This is Hisham’s version) is guiltless; and he who feels disapproval in his heart, is safe, but he who is pleased and follows them. He was asked; shall we not kill them, Messenger of Allah? Abu Dawud’s version has: Shall we not fight with them? He replied: No, so long as they pray.
Hadith 4761
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، أخبرنا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، أخبرنا الْحَسَنُ ، عَنْ ضَبَّةَ بْنِ مِحْصَنٍ الْعَنَزِيِّ ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، بِمَعْنَاهُ ، قَالَ : فَمَنْ كَرِهَ ، فَقَدْ بَرِئَ ، وَمَنْ أَنْكَرَ ، فَقَدْ سَلِمَ " قَالَ قَتَادَةُ : يَعْنِي مَنْ أَنْكَرَ بِقَلْبِهِ ، وَمَنْ كَرِهَ بِقَلْبِهِ .
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Umm Salamah through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. This version has: He who disapproves is guiltless, and he who disapproves is safe. Qatadah said: it means one who feels its disapproval in his heart, and one who expresses disapproval in his heart.
