[Machine] "O Abu Abdurrahman, I swear by Allah that I have always wanted to imitate your smile and follow your actions in dealing with people. I distance myself from evil as much as I can. There is a verse from the Book of Allah that has deeply affected my heart. Please tell me your thoughts on it. It is the verse of Allah Almighty that says: 'And if two factions among the believers should fight, then make settlement between the two. But if one of them oppresses the other, then fight against the one that oppresses until it returns to the ordinance of Allah. And if it returns, then make settlement between them in justice and act justly. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly.' (Quran 49:9)

Abdullah replied, "What do you want from me regarding this?" So, I left him and he departed until he was out of sight. Abdullah bin Umar came to us and said, "I have found something within myself concerning this verse. I felt that I should not fight against this rebellious faction, as Allah Almighty commanded." This is a significant narrative narrated from Abdullah bin Umar by a group of prominent Tabi'een. I have presented the hadith of Shu'ayb bin Abi Hamza, narrated by Az-Zuhri, and I have focused on it because it meets the conditions of both Al-Bukhari and Muslim."

[Machine] "O Abu Abdullah, I swear by Allah, I have come to seek your guidance and follow your example in dealing with division among people. I intend to distance myself from evil as much as I can and to ponder upon a specific verse from the Book of Allah that has deeply affected my heart. Please inform me about it. Have you heard the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: 'And if two factions among the believers should fight, then make settlement between the two. But if one of them oppresses the other, then fight against the one that oppresses until it returns to the ordinance of Allah. And if it returns, then make settlement between them in justice and act justly. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly.' (Quran, Al-Hujurat 49:9)? Tell me about this verse." Abdullah bin Umar replied, "What concern do you have with it? Leave me alone." The man then got up and left. As soon as he disappeared, Abdullah bin Umar came back to us and said, "I cannot find anything within myself that contradicts the meaning of this verse, other than the fact that I have not fought against these rebellious groups as Allah has commanded."

[Machine] That I have adopted your way and followed you in dealing with people's disputes, and I have distanced myself from evil as much as I can. And I have read a verse from the book of Allah that has deeply affected my heart. Tell me about it. Have you heard the saying of Allah, the Most Blessed and Exalted: "And if two factions among the believers should fight, then make settlement between the two. But if one of them oppresses the other, then fight against the one that oppresses until it returns to the ordinance of Allah. And if it returns, then make settlement between them in justice and act justly. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly." (Surah Al-Hujurat, 49:9) Inform me about this verse. So Abdullah and Malik departed from me, and then Abdullah ibn Umar came to us and said, "I did not find in myself any inclination to fight against this rebellious group, as Allah commanded me." Al-Qattan added in his narration that Hamza said, "So we said to him, who do you consider the rebellious group to be?" Ibn Umar said, "Ibn Zubayr's son rebelled against these people, expelled them from their homes, and broke their covenant. And Abdullah ibn Umar's statement is indicative of the permissibility of using this verse in fighting against the rebellious group."
