Bayhaqi Q16779 — The disagreement on fighting rebels

احْتَجَّ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْقَدِْيمِ بِالْآيَةِ: {وَإِنْ طَائِفَتَانِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اقْتَتَلُوا فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَهُمَا، فَإِنْ بَغَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى الْأُخْرَى فَقَاتِلُوا الَّتِي تَبْغِي حَتَّى تَفِيءَ إِلَى أَمْرِ اللهِ} [الحجرات: 9]، فَأَذِنَ تَبَارَكَ اسْمُهُ بِقِتَالِ الْفِئَةِ الْبَاغِيَةِ إِذَا أَبَتْ أَنْ تَفِيءَ، قَالَ: وَرَغِبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي قِتَالِ أَهْلِ الْبَغْيِ، وَسَاقَ الْأَحَادِيثَ الَّتِي ذَكَرْنَاهَا فِي أَوَّلِ هَذَا الْكِتَابِ، وَنَحْنُ نَسُوقُهَا هَهُنَا بِأَسَانِيدَ أُخَرَ.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him), in his earlier (school), drew evidence from this verse: "And if two groups of the believers fight one another, make peace between them; but if one of them transgresses against the other, then fight the one that transgresses until it returns to the command of Allah Almighty." [Surah al-Hujurat: 9]
Thus Allah, blessed be His name, permitted fighting the rebellious group when it refuses to return (to the truth).
He said: "And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) encouraged fighting the people of rebellion."
And he cited the hadiths that we mentioned at the beginning of this book, and we present them here with other chains.
