أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ الْفَقِيهُ، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَعْقِلٍ، ثنا حَرْمَلَةُ، ثنا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، أَنَّ أَبَانَ بْنَ عُثْمَانَ، حِينَ وَلِيَ الْمَدِينَةَ فِي خِلَافَةِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَنْقُضَ مَا كَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ قَضَى فِيهِ، فَكَتَبَ أَبَانُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ فِي ذَلِكَ إِلَى عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ: " إِنَّا لَمْ نَنْقِمْ عَلَى ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ مَا كَانَ يَقْضِي بِهِ، وَلَكِنْ نَقَمْنَا عَلَيْهِ مَا كَانَ أَرَادَ مِنَ الْإِمَارَةِ فَإِذَا جَاءَكَ كِتَابِي هَذَا فَأَمْضِ مَا كَانَ قَضَى بِهِ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ وَلَا تَرُدَّهُ، فَإِنَّ نَقَضْنَا الْقَضَاءَ عَنَاءٌ مُعَنًّى ".
Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) said: When Aban bin Uthman became governor of Madinah during the reign of Abd al-Malik bin Marwan, he wanted to overturn a judgement that Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them both) had made. Abd al-Malik bin Marwan wrote to Aban bin Uthman: We did not hold the judgements of Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them both) against him; rather, what we held against him was his ambition for rulership. When my letter reaches you, carry out what Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them both) decided and do not reverse it, for overturning judgements is wearisome toil.
