Bayhaqi 3437 — One who moved forward or back from one place to another

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْأَسَدِيُّ بِهَمَذَانَ ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ، ثنا آدَمُ، ثنا شُعْبَةُ، ثنا الْأَزْرَقُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ قَالَ: كُنَّا بِالْأَهْوَازِ نُقَاتِلُ الْحَرُورِيَّةَ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا عَلَى جُرُفِ نَهَرٍ إِذَا رَجُلٌ يُصَلِّي وَإِذَا لِجَامُ دَابَّتِهِ بِيَدِهِ فَجَعَلَتِ الدَّابَّةُ تُنَازِعُهُ وَجَعَلَ يَتْبَعُهَا قَالَ: شُعْبَةُ هُوَ أَبُو بَرْزَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيُّ قَالَ: وَجَعَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْخَوَارِجِ يَقُولُ: اللهُمَّ افْعَلْ بِهَذَا الشَّيْخِ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ الشَّيْخُ قَالَ: " إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ قَوْلَكُمْ وَإِنِّي قَدْ غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سِتَّ غَزَوَاتٍ أَوْ سَبْعَ غَزَوَاتٍ أَوْ ثَمَانِ غَزَوَاتٍ وَشَهِدْتُ تَيْسِيرَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَأَنْ كُنْتُ أَرْجِعُ مَعَ دَابَّتِي أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَدَعَهَا تَذْهَبُ إِلَى مَأْلَفِهَا فَيَشُقَّ عَلَيَّ " رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ آدَمَ بْنِ أَبِي إِيَاسٍ.
(a) Al-Azraq bin Qays narrates: We were in al-Ahwaz (the settlements lying between Iran and Basrah), fighting the Kharijites, and I was sitting on the bank of a river. Meanwhile a man (Abu Barzah al-Aslami, may Allah be pleased with him) began to pray holding the reins of his horse in his hand. The horse began to pull him, and he began to follow it.
(b) Shu'bah said: That man was Abu Barzah al-Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him). Seeing this, one of the Kharijites began to say: O Allah, ruin this old man! When he (may Allah be pleased with him) finished the prayer, he said: I heard what you said. I have taken part in six, seven or eight military expeditions with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and I have seen the ease he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to show the people. I prefer to return with my horse rather than leave it to go wherever it wishes and afterwards suffer hardship.
