وَالَّذِي حَدَّثَنَاهُ ، قَالَ : ثنا وَالَّذِي حَدَّثَنَاهُ ، قَالَ : ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَاصِمٌ الْعُمَرِيُّ ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ ، قَالَ : بَيْنَا الْحَجَّاجُ يَخْطُبُ وَابْنُ عُمَرَ شَاهِدٌ وَمَعَهُ ابْنَانِ لَهُ ، أَحَدُهُمَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ ، وَالآخَرُ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ ، إِذْ قَالَ الْحَجَّاجُ : ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ نَكَّسَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ نَكَّسَ اللَّهُ قَلْبَهُ ، قَالَ : وَابْنُ عُمَرَ مُسْتَقْبِلُهُ ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ : " إِنَّ ذَاكَ لَيْسَ بِيَدِكَ وَلا بِيَدِهِ " ، قَالَ : فَسَكَتَ الْحَجَّاجُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ عَلَّمَنَا وَكُلَّ مُسْلِمٍ وَإِيَّاكَ أَيُّهَا الشَّيْخُ أَنْ تَعْقِلَ ، فَجَعَلَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَضْحَكُ ، فَحَكَاهُ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ حَبِيبٍ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ وَثَبَ فَأَجْلَسَهُ ابْنَاهُ ، فَقَالَ : " دَعُونِي فَإِنِّي تَرَكْتُ الَّتِي فِيهَا الْفَضْلُ أَنْ أَقُولَ لَهُ : كَذَبْتَ "
Habib bin Abi Thabit narrates that while Hajjaj was delivering a sermon and Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) was also present, with his two sons sitting to his right and left, Hajjaj said, "Ibn al-Zubair has bent the Book of Allah, the Noble Qur'an; may Allah overturn his heart." Habib said that Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) was attentive to him, so Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said, "This matter is not in your or his control." The narrator said that Hajjaj became silent. Then he said, "Indeed, Allah Almighty has granted us and every Muslim knowledge. O old man, you too should use your intellect." So Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) began to laugh. Then this incident was narrated by Asim from Habib, so he said, "Then Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) leapt (towards Hajjaj), but his sons made him sit down." He said, "Let me go, for I have not yet said the real virtuous thing to him, that you (Hajjaj) are a liar."
