مِحْنَفُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ
[Machine] We came to Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari while he was taking care of his horses in Basanba. We said to him, "Abu Ayyub, you fought the pagans with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and now you are fighting against Muslims?" He said, "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded me to fight against three groups: those who break their oaths, those who commit injustice, and those who rebel. So I fought against those who break their oaths and those who commit injustice, and with the permission of Allah, I will fight against the rebels in the valleys, on the roads, and by the rivers. But I do not know who they are.”
أَتَيْنَا أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ وَهُوَ يَعْلِفُ خَيْلًا لَهُ بصعنبى فَقُلْنَا عِنْدَهُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ قَاتَلْتُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ جِئْتَ تُقَاتِلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «أَمَرَنِي بِقِتَالِ ثَلَاثَةٍ النَّاكِثِينَ وَالْقَاسِطِينَ وَالْمَارِقِينَ فَقَدْ قَاتَلْتُ النَّاكِثِينَ وَقَاتَلْتُ الْقَاسِطِينَ وَأَنَا مُقَاتِلٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ الْمَارِقِينَ بِالشُّعُفَاتِ بِالطُّرُقَاتِ بِالنَّهْرَاواتِ وَمَا أَدْرِي مَا هُمْ؟»
