اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُصْعَبٍ الْمَدَنِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَبْشِرْ عَمَّارُ تَقْتُلُكَ الْفِئَةُ الْبَاغِيَةُ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، وَأَبِي الْيَسَرِ ، وَحُذَيْفَةَ ، قَالَ : وَهَذَا حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ حَدِيثِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ .
´Narrated Abu Hurairah:` that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Rejoice, 'Ammar, the transgressing party shall kill you."
Brief Explanation
1؎ : In this hadith, there is testimony from the tongue of Allah’s Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) that at the time of his killing, Ammar (radi Allahu anhu) would be with the group upon the truth, and his killers, in this regard, would not be upon the truth. And by “truth” and “falsehood” here, what is meant is not the truth or falsehood of belief (i.e., monotheism and polytheism), but rather, it is testimony regarding being upon truth or falsehood in a political sense at that time. Ammar (radi Allahu anhu) was with Ali (radi Allahu anhu), who at that time was the rightful caliph, and the opposing party was Muawiyah (radi Allahu anhu), who was fighting Ali (radi Allahu anhu) over a political issue concerning the caliphate. It was in this context that Ammar (radi Allahu anhu) was martyred. This is the incident of the Battle of Siffin. In this incident, Muawiyah (radi Allahu anhu), who confronted Ali (radi Allahu anhu), made an ijtihadi (independent juristic) error, which is forgiven. (radi Allahu anhum ajma‘in)
