Bayhaqi 16808 — The prohibition of fighting in times of division

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ، بِبَغْدَادَ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ دُرُسْتَوَيْهِ، ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا ابْنُ عُثْمَانَ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ هُوَ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أنبأ كَهْمَسُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَزْهَرِ الضُّبَعِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ الْبَرَاءِ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ، وَعَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ صَفْوَانَ، كَانَا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ قَاعِدَيْنِ فِي الْحِجْرِ، فَمَرَّ بِهِمَا ابْنُ عُمَرَ، وَهُوَ يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ، فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ: أَتُرَاهُ بَقِيَ أَحَدٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ هَذَا؟ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ: ادْعُهُ لَنَا إِذَا قَضَى طَوَافَهُ فَلَمَّا قَضَى طَوَافَهُ، وَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ، أَتَاهُ رَسُولُهُمَا فَقَالَ: هَذَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ ⦗٣٣٤⦘ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَفْوَانَ يَدْعُوانِكَ، فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِمَا فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَفْوَانَ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مَا يَمْنَعُكَ أَنْ تُبَايِعَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، يَعْنِي ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ، فَقَدْ بَايَعَ لَهُ أَهْلُ الْعَرُوضِ وَأَهْلُ الْعِرَاقِ وَعَامَّةُ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ؟ فَقَالَ: " وَاللهِ لَا أُبَايِعُكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ وَاضِعُو سُيُوفِكُمْ عَلَى عَوَاتِقِكُمْ تَصَبَّبُ أَيْدِيكُمْ مِنْ دِمَاءِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ".
Abu al-Aliyah al-Bara' (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them both) and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Safwan (may Allah be pleased with him) were sitting when Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) passed by them while performing tawaf. One of them said: Is there anyone left better than this man? The other said: Call him. When he (may Allah be pleased with him) had completed his tawaf and offered two rak'ahs, the messenger told him that Abdullah bin al-Zubayr and Abdullah bin Safwan were calling him. He came, and Abdullah bin Safwan (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Abu Abd al-Rahman, why do you not pledge allegiance to the Commander of the Faithful, Abdullah bin al-Zubayr? All the people, the people of Iraq and most of the people of Syria have pledged allegiance to him. He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah, I will not pledge allegiance; you have taken up your swords to shed the blood of Muslims.
