[Machine] Sahl ibn Hunaif on the day of Siffin said, "O people, accuse your opinion over your religion. For indeed, I have seen us while we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and if we were able to refute him, we would have done so. And we have not placed our swords on our shoulders in a matter except it was easy for us to go to a matter that we know other than our own matter. And I have seen us on the day of Abi Jandal, and if we were able to refute the command of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , we would have done so."  

سَهْلُ بْنُ حُنَيْفٍ يَوْمَ صِفِّينَ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّهِمُوا الرَّأْيَ عَلَى الدِّينِ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا وَنَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَوْ نَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ نَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ لَرَدَدْنَا وَمَا جَعَلْنَا سُيُوفَنَا عَلَى عَوَاتِقِنَا فِي أَمْرٍ إِلَّا سَهُلَ لَنَا إِلَى أَمْرٍ نَعْرِفُهُ غَيْرَ أَمْرِنَا هَذَا وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا يَوْمَ أَبِي جَنْدَلٍ وَلَوْ نَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ نَرُدَّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَمْرَهُ لَرَدَدْنَاهُ»
