Hadith #167

Arabic Text

English Translation

Ḥajjāj narrated to us, he said: Shuʿbah narrated to us, from Abū ʿImrān, he said: I said to Jundub: I have pledged allegiance to these people — meaning Ibn al-Zubayr — and they want me to go out with them to al-Shām. He said: Hold back. I said: They refuse. He said: Ransom yourself with your wealth. He said: I said: They refuse unless I fight with them by the sword. Jundub said: So-and-so narrated to me that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: The slain will come with his killer on the Day of Resurrection and will say: O Lord, ask this one why he killed me. Shuʿbah said: I think he said: He will say: For what did you kill him? And he will say: I killed him for the dominion of so-and-so. Jundub said: So beware of that.
