أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ، ثنا بَحْرُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، أَنَّ هِشَامَ بْنَ عُرْوَةَ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ آلِ حَاطِبِ بْنِ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ كَانَتْ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ آلِ صُهَيْبٍ مُنَازَعَةٌ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فِي قَتْلِهِ، قَالَ: فَرَكِبَ يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَاطِبٍ إِلَى عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ ⦗٢٢٠⦘ مَرْوَانَ فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَضَى بِالْقَسَامَةِ عَلَى سِتَّةِ نَفَرٍ مِنْ آلِ حَاطِبٍ، فَثَنَّى عَلَيْهِمُ الْأَيْمَانَ، فَطَلَبَ آلُ حَاطِبٍ أَنْ يَحْلِفُوا عَلَى اثْنَيْنِ وَيَقْتُلُوهُمَا، فَأَبَى عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَحْلِفُوا عَلَى وَاحِدٍ فَيَقْتُلُوهُ، فَحَلَفُوا عَلَى الصُّهَيْبِيِّ فَقَتَلُوهُ، قَالَ هِشَامٌ: فَلَمْ يُنْكِرْ ذَلِكَ عُرْوَةُ، وَرَأَى أَنْ قَدْ أُصِيبَ فِيهِ الْحَقُّ وَرُوِّينَا فِيهِ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ وَرَبِيعَةَ وَيُذْكَرُ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ وَابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّهُمَا أَقَادَا بِالْقَسَامَةِ وَيُذْكَرُ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ أَنَّهُ رَجَعَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ وَقَالَ: إِنْ وَجَدَ أَصْحَابُهُ بَيِّنَةً، وَإِلَّا فَلَا تُظْلَمُ النَّاسُ، فَإِنَّ هَذَا لَا يُقْضَى فِيهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ.
Hisham bin Urwah (may Allah have mercy on him) said that there was a dispute between a man from the family of Hatib bin Abi Balta'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) and a man from the family of Suhayb (may Allah be pleased with him); then he narrated the account of his killing. He said: Yahya bin Abd al-Rahman bin Hatib (may Allah have mercy on him) rode to Abd al-Malik bin Marwan about it, and he gave judgement by qasamah, that 6 men of the family of Hatib should swear, repeating the oaths over them. The family of Hatib wanted to swear against two men and kill them both, but Abd al-Malik refused unless they swore against one and killed him. So they swore against the Suhaybi, and he was killed. Hisham said: Urwah did not object to that and held that the truth had been reached in it.
This has been narrated to us from al-Zuhri and Rabi'ah, and it is mentioned from Ibn Abi Mulaykah that Umar bin Abd al-Aziz and Ibn al-Zubayr carried out retaliation by qasamah. It is also mentioned from Umar bin Abd al-Aziz that he retracted that and said: If his people find evidence (then so be it); otherwise people must not be wronged, for this is something that will only be judged on the Day of Resurrection.
