Bayhaqi 16811 — The prohibition of fighting in times of division

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الصَّفَّارُ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ الضَّبِّيُّ، أنبأ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، وَعَامِرٍ الشَّعْبِيِّ قَالَا: قَالَ مَرْوَانُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ لِأَيْمَنَ بْنِ خُرَيْمٍ: أَلَا تَخْرُجُ فَتُقَاتِلَ مَعَنَا؟ فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ أَبِي وَعَمِّي شَهِدَا بَدْرًا، وَإِنَّهُمَا عَهِدَا إِلِيَّ أَنْ لَا أُقَاتِلَ أَحَدًا يَقُولُ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ. فَإِنْ أَنْتَ جِئْتَنِي بِبَرَاءَةٍ مِنَ النَّارِ قَاتَلْتُ مَعَكَ" قَالَ: فَاخْرُجْ عَنَّا، قَالَ: فَخَرَجَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ:.
Qays bin Abi Hazim and Amir al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on them) said that Marwan said to Sayyiduna Ayman bin Khuraym (may Allah be pleased with him): "Why do you not join us and fight?" He replied: "My father and my paternal uncle, who took part in Badr (may Allah be pleased with them both), took a pledge from me that I would never fight against anyone who recites the testimony of faith. If you give me a guarantee that you will save me from Hell, then I will fight alongside you." Marwan said: "Get out of here." So he left, saying:
I cannot fight anyone who prays;
His is the kingship, and mine would be the sin.
Shall I kill a Muslim without any crime,

For the sake of a ruler, when the other one too is from Quraysh?
I seek refuge in Allah from such ignorance and frenzy;
It would be of no benefit to me my whole life long.
