Bayhaqi 5302 — Praying behind one whose conduct is not praiseworthy

وَأَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُصَفًّى، ثنا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ قَالَ: " بَعَثَنِي عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ مَرْوَانَ بِكُتُبٍ إِلَى الْحَجَّاجِ فَأَتَيْتُهُ، وَقَدْ نَصَبَ عَلَى الْبَيْتِ أَرْبَعِينَ مَنْجَنِيقًا، فَرَأَيْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ إِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ مَعَ الْحَجَّاجِ صَلَّى مَعَهُ، وَإِذَا حَضَرَ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ صَلَّى مَعَهُ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَتُصَلِّي مَعَ هَؤُلَاءِ وَهَذِهِ أَعْمَالُهُمْ؟ فَقَالَ: يَا أَخَا أَهْلِ الشَّامِ، مَا أَنَا لَهُمْ بِحَامِدٍ وَلَا نُطِيعُ مَخْلُوقًا فِي مَعْصِيَةِ الْخَالِقِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: مَا تَقُولُ فِي أَهْلِ الشَّامِ؟ قَالَ: مَا أَنَا لَهُمْ بِحَامِدٍ، قُلْتُ: فَمَا تَقُولُ فِي أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ؟ قَالَ: مَا أَنَا لَهُمْ بِعَاذِرٍ، يَقْتَتِلُونَ عَلَى الدُّنْيَا، يَتَهَافَتُونَ فِي النَّارِ تَهَافُتَ الذُّبَابُ فِي الْمَرَقِ، قُلْتُ: فَمَا قَوْلُكَ فِي هَذِهِ الْبَيْعَةِ الَّتِي أَخَذَ عَلَيْنَا مَرْوَانُ؟ قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ: " كُنَّا إِذَا بَايَعْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى السَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ يُلَقِّنُنَا فِيمَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ ".
Umayr bin Hani' says: Abd al-Malik bin Marwan sent me with letters to al-Hajjaj. I came to him, and he had set up forty catapults against the House (the Ka'bah). I saw Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) praying with al-Hajjaj, and when Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them both) came, he prayed with him as well. I said to him: "O Abu Abd al-Rahman! You pray with these people while these are their deeds?" He said: "O brother from Syria! I do not praise them, nor do I obey a created being in disobedience to the Creator." He said: I said: "What do you say about the people of Syria?" He said: "I do not praise them." I said: "What do you think of the people of Makkah?" He said: "I do not excuse them. They are fighting over the world and throwing themselves into the Fire, just as flies fall into broth." I said: "What do you think of this pledge of allegiance that Marwan took?" Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "When we pledged allegiance to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to hear and obey, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would add: 'As far as you are able.'"
