[Machine] A delegation from the tribe of Buzakha, including Asad and Ghatafan, came to Abu Bakr and asked him for reconciliation. He presented them with the choice between a clear war or a humiliating peace.  

فَجَاءَ وَفْدُ بُزَاخَةَ أَسَدٍ وَغَطَفَانَ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ يَسْأَلُونَهُ الصُّلْحَ فَخَيَّرَهُمْ بَيْنَ الْحَرْبِ الْمُجْلِيَةِ أَوِ السَّلْمِ الْمُخْزِيَةِ  

[Machine] After the death of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, Ali refused to pledge allegiance to peace. Abu Bakr said, "We will not accept anything from you except humiliating peace or local war." Ali asked, "Is humiliating peace an actual thing?" Abu Bakr replied, "You testify that those whom we kill are in Paradise, and that your killed ones are in Hell. You record our deaths, but we do not record yours. So choose humiliating peace." It has been narrated in this story that Umar bin Khattab saw that our slain ones should not be counted, and he said, "Our killed ones were killed by the command of Allah, so they do not have blood money. And this is mentioned in the chapter of fighting the apostates, if Allah wills."  

عَنْ دِينِهِ بَعْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَجْنَحَ لِلسَّلْمِ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ لَا نُقَبِّلُ مِنْكَ إِلَّا بِسَلْمٍ مُخْزِيَةٍ أَوْ حَرْبٍ محْلِيَةٍ فَقَالَ مَا سَلْمٌ مُخْزِيَةٌ؟ قَالَ تَشْهَدُونَ عَلَى قَتْلَانَا أَنَّهُمْ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَأَنَّ قَتْلَاكُمْ فِي النَّارِ وَتَدُونَ قَتْلَانَا وَلَا نَدِي قَتْلَاكُمْ فَاخْتَارُوا سَلْمًا مُخْزِيَةً وَقَدْ رَوَيْنَا فِي هَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ رَأَى أَنْ لَا يَدُوا قَتْلَانَا وَقَالَ قَتْلَانَا قُتِلُوا عَلَى أَمْرِ اللهِ فَلَا دِيَاتَ لَهُمْ وَذَلِكَ يَرِدُ فِي بَابِ قِتَالِ أَهْلِ الرِّدَّةِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ ﷻ
