حکمت 373: (ابن جریر طبری در تاریخ خود از عبدالرحمان بن… · Saying 373

وَ رَوَي ابْنُ جَرِيرٍ الطَّبَرِيُّ فِي تَارِيخِهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَي الْفَقِيهِ وَ كَانَ مِمَّنْ خَرَجَ لِقِتَالِ الْحَجَّاجِ مَعَ ابْنِ الْأَشْعَثِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِيمَا كَانَ يَحُضُّ بِهِ النَّاسَ عَلَي الْجِهَادِ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ عَلِيّاً رَفَعَ اللَّهُ دَرَجَتَهُ فِي الصَّالِحِينَ وَ أَثَابَهُ ثَوَابَ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ يَقُولُ يَوْمَ لَقِينَا أَهْلَ الشَّامِ:

أَيُّهَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِنَّهُ مَنْ رَأَي عُدْوَاناً يُعْمَلُ بِهِ وَ مُنْكَراً يُدْعَي إِلَيْهِ فَأَنْكَرَهُ بِقَلْبِهِ فَقَدْ سَلِمَ وَ بَرِئَ وَ مَنْ أَنْكَرَهُ بِلِسَانِهِ فَقَدْ أُجِرَ وَ هُوَ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ وَ مَنْ أَنْكَرَهُ بِالسَّيْفِ لِتَكُونَ كَلِمَةُ اللَّهِ هِيَ الْعُلْيَا وَ كَلِمَةُ الظَّالِمِينَ هِيَ السُّفْلَي فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي أَصَابَ سَبِيلَ الْهُدَي وَ قَامَ عَلَي الطَّرِيقِ وَ نَوَّرَ فِي قَلْبِهِ الْيَقِينُ

Ibn Jarir at-Tabari has, in his history (vol.2, p.1086; also Ibn al-Athir in his history, vol.4, p.478), related from Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abi Layla, al-faqih (the theologian),who was one of those who had risen with (Abd ar-Rahman ibn Muhammad) Ibn al-Ash ath to fight al-Hajjaj (ibn Yusuf ath-Thaqafi), thathe (Ibn Abi Layla) was exhorting people to jihad by recalling; On the occasion of encounter with the pepole of Syris I heard Amir al-Mu'minin, may Allah exalt his degree of rank among the righteous and may He reward him the reward of martyrs and men of truth, saying. O Believers! Whoever observes excesses being commited and people being called towards evil and disapproves it with his heart is safe and free from responsibility for it, and whoever disapprover of it with his tonge would be rewarded and he is in a higher position than the former but whoever disapproves it with his sword in order that the word of Allah may remain superior and the word of the oppressors may remain inferior, catches hold of the path of guidance and stands on the right way, while his heart is lighted with conviction.
