Hadith #791
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا مُبَارَكٌ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ فَقَالَ أَقْتُلُ لَكَ عَلِيًّا قَالَ لَا وَكَيْفَ تَقْتُلُهُ وَمَعَهُ الْجُنُودُ قَالَ أَلْحَقُ بِهِ فَأَفْتِكُ بِهِ قَالَ لَا إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ الْإِيمَ
انَ قَيْدُ الْفَتْكِ لَا يَفْتِكُ مُؤْمِنٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَنْبَأَنَا مُبَارَكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ قَالَ أَتَى رَجُلٌ الزُّبَيْرَ بْنَ الْعَوَّامِ فَقَالَ أَلَا أَقْتُلُ لَكَ عَلِيًّا قَالَ وَكَيْفَ تَسْتَطِيعُ قَتْلَهُ وَمَعَهُ النَّاسُ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ

English Translation
Hisham bin `Urwah narrated from his father, that his grandfather Ibn Numair said that az-Zubair (رضي الله عنه) said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “For one of you to take a rope and go to the mountains, then bring a bundle of firewood on his back and sell it, and make himself independent of means thereby, is better for him than to ask of people, whether they give him something or not.”
