[Machine] Zuhair in his speech criticized people for following their own opinions and not adhering to what is agreed upon and not specified. He said, "Hurry up and bring it to me." It was brought to him and he said, "Oh enemy of yourself, have you reached a point where you give opinions to the people in the mosque of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?" He said, "I did not do that, but my companions told me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said so." He asked, "Who are your companions?" He replied, "Ubayy ibn Ka'b, Abu Ayyub, and Rifaa'ah ibn Rafa'ah." So I turned to what this young boy was saying, and Zuhair said in his speech, "This boy does not say what I say." I said, "We used to do it in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." He asked, "Did you ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it?" He said, "We used to do it during his time and we did not wash ourselves." He gathered the people and clapped, and the people agreed that water is only made of water, except for two men: Ali ibn Abi Talib and Mu'adh ibn Jabal. They said, "When circumcision is surpassed, then washing is necessary." Ali said, "O Commander of the Believers, if the people knew about this, they would think that these are the wives of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." So he sent to Hafsah, and she said, "I do not have knowledge about it." He sent to Aisha, and she said, "When circumcision is surpassed, then washing is necessary." Umar then became angry and said, "I am not informed that anyone does it and does not wash except I will punish him severely."  

زُهَيْرٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ النَّاسَ بِرَأْيِهِ فِي الَّذِي يُجَامِعُ وَلَا يُنْزِلُ فَقَالَ أَعْجِلْ بِهِ فَأُتِيَ بِهِ فَقَالَ يَا عَدُوَّ نَفْسِهِ أَوَ قَدْ بَلَغْتَ أَنْ تُفْتِيَ النَّاسَ فِي مَسْجِدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِرَأْيِكَ؟ قَالَ مَا فَعَلْتُ وَلَكِنْ حَدَّثَنِي عُمُومَتِي عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَيُّ عُمُومَتِكَ؟ قَالَ أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ وَأَبُو أَيُّوبَ وَرِفَاعَةُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ فَالْتَفَتُّ إِلَى مَا يَقُولُ هَذَا الْفَتَى وَقَالَ زُهَيْرٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ مَا يَقُولُ هَذَا الْغُلَامُ فَقُلْتُ كُنَّا نَفْعَلُهُ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَسَأَلْتُمْ عَنْهُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ كُنَّا نَفْعَلُهُ عَلَى عَهْدِهِ فَلَمْ نَغْتَسِلْ قَالَ فَجَمَعَ النَّاسَ وَأَصْفَقَ النَّاسُ عَلَى أَنَّ الْمَاءَ لَا يَكُونُ إِلَّا مِنَ الْمَاءِ إِلَّا رَجُلَيْنِ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَمُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ قَالَا إِذَا جَاوَزَ الْخِتَانُ الْخِتَانَ فَقَدْ وَجَبَ الْغُسْلُ قَالَ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّ أَعْلَمَ النَّاسِ بِهَذَا أَزْوَاجُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى حَفْصَةَ فَقَالَتْ لَا عِلْمَلِي فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ إِذَا جَاوَزَ الْخِتَانُ الْخِتَانَ وَجَبَ الْغُسْلُ قَالَ فَتَحَطَّمَ عُمَرُ يَعْنِي تَغَيَّظَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا يَبْلُغُنِي أَنَّ أَحَدًا فَعَلَهُ وَلَا يَغْتَسِلُ إِلَّا أَنْهَكْتُهُ عُقُوبَةً  

[Machine] "O Omar, bring it to me so that I may be a witness over it." When he brought it to him, he said: "O enemy of himself, you mislead people without knowledge!" He said: "O Commander of the Faithful, by Allah, I did not innovate it, but I heard it from my uncles." He said: "Which uncles of yours?" He said: "Ubay ibn Ka'b, Rifa'ah ibn Rafi', and Abu Ayub." So Rifaa'ah said (as he was present): "Do not reproach him, O Commander of the Faithful, for we used to do this during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." He said: "Did you know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had knowledge of any of it?" They said: "No." Ali ibn Abi Talib said: "O Commander of the Faithful, this matter is not befitting. Who will they ask after you, O noble ones of Badr?" Ali said: "Send to the Mothers of the Believers." So he sent to Hafsah and she said: "I have no knowledge." So he sent to 'Aisha and she said: "If it exceeds circumcision, then ghusl is obligatory. Then they should melt wax and pour it over the area that has been balded." So a man walked with his companion and said: "What is this dialogue?" One of them claimed that it was the lesser recommended prayer. Ali ibn Abi Talib said: "It is not the lesser recommended prayer until it passes through seven layers." Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, said (interpretation of the meaning): "And indeed We created man from sounding clay of altered black smooth mud. And the jinns did We create aforetime from the smokeless flame of fire. And (remember) when your Lord said to the angels: "I am going to create a man (Adam) from sounding clay of altered black smooth mud. So when I have fashioned him completely and breathed into him (Adam) the soul which I created for him, then fall (you) down prostrating yourselves to him." So the angels prostrated themselves, all of them; except Iblis, he was proud and was one of the disbelievers. Allah said: "O Iblis! What prevents you from prostrating yourself to one whom I have created with both My Hands. Are you too proud (to fall prostrate to Adam) or are you one of the high exalted?" Iblis said: "I am better than him. You created me from fire, and him You created from clay. Allah said: "Then get out from here, for verily, you are Rajim (an outcast or a cursed one)." And verily, the curse shall be upon you till the Day of Recompense." So, they disagreed regarding what Ali ibn Abi Talib said, but there was no objection to it."

" عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى ابن عُمَرَ فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: مَا الذى يَحْمِلُكَ عَلَى أَنْ تَحُجَّ عَامًا وَتَعْتَمر عَامًا وَتَتْرُكَ الجِهَادَ في سَبِيلِ الله، وَقَدْ علِمْت مَا رَغَّبَ الله فِيهِ؟ قَالَ: يَابْنَ أَخِى: بُنى الإسْلاَمُ عَلَى خَمْسٍ: إِيمانٌ بِالله وَرَسُولِه، وَصَلاَةُ الْخَمْسِ، وَصِيامُ شَهِرِ رَمَضَانَ، وَأَدَاءُ الزَّكَاةِ، وَحَجُّ الْبَيْت، فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: أَلاَ تَسْمَعُ مَا ذَكَرَ الله فِى كِتَابِهِ {وَإِنْ طَائِفَتَانِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اقْتَتَلُوا فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَهُمَا فَإِنْ بَغَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى الْأُخْرَى فَقَاتِلُوا الَّتِي تَبْغِي حَتَّى تَفِيءَ إِلَى أَمْرِ اللَّهِ}، فَمَا يَمْنَعُكَ أَنْ تُقَاتِلَ الْفِئَة الْبَاغِية كمَا أَمَرَكَ الله في كتَابِهِ؟ فَقَالَ: يَابْنَ أَخِى لأَنْ أَعْتَبِرَ بِهَذِهِ الآيَةِ فَلاَ أَقَاتِل أَحَبّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَعْتَبِرَ بِالأَيَةِ التَّي يَقُولُ الله فيها {وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ} فَقَالَ: أَلاَ تَرَى أَنَّ الله يَقُولُ: {وَقُاتِلُوهُم حَتَّى لاَ تَكُونَ فِتْنَةٌ وَيَكُونَ الدِّينُ كُلُّهُ لله}، قَالَ ابن عُمَرَ: قَدْ فَعَلنَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ أنْ كَانَ أهْلُ الإسْلاَمِ قَلِيلًا وَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ يُفْتَنُ فِى دِينهِ إِمَّا أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ وِإمَّا أَنْ يَسْتَرِقِّوهُ حَتَّى كَثُرَ أَهْلُ الإسْلاَمِ فَلَمْ يَكُن فِتْنَةً، قَالَ: فَمَا قَوْلُكَ في عَلِىٍّ

وَعُثْمَانَ؟ قَالَ أَمَّا عُثْمَانُ: فَكَانَ الله عفى عَنْهُ وَكَرِهْتُم أَن تَعْفُوا، وَأَمَّا عَلِىٌّ: فَابْنُ عَمِّ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ وَخَتَنِهِ وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ، وَهَذَا بَيْتُهُ حَيْثُ تَرَوْنَ ".
