حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَشْرَجُ بْنُ نُبَاتَةَ الْعَبْسِيُّ كُوفِيٌّ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُمْهَانَ قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ (١) عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى وَهُوَ مَحْجُوبُ الْبَصَرِ، فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ لِي: مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ فَقُلْتُ: أَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُمْهَانَ، قَالَ: فَمَا فَعَلَ وَالِدُكَ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: قَتَلَتْهُ الْأَزَارِقَةُ، قَالَ: لَعَنَ اللهُ الْأَزَارِقَةَ، لَعَنَ اللهُ الْأَزَارِقَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " أَنَّهُمْ كِلَابُ النَّارِ "، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: الْأَزَارِقَةُ وَحْدَهُمْ أَمِ الْخَوَارِجُ كُلُّهَا؟ قَالَ: " بَلِ الْخَوَارِجُ كُلُّهَا ". قَالَ: قُلْتُ: فَإِنَّ السُّلْطَانَ يَظْلِمُ النَّاسَ، وَيَفْعَلُ بِهِمْ، (٢) قَالَ: فَتَنَاوَلَ يَدِي فَغَمَزَهَا بِيَدِهِ غَمْزَةً شَدِيدَةً (٣) ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " وَيْحَكَ يَا ابْنَ جُمْهَانَ عَلَيْكَ بِالسَّوَادِ الْأَعْظَمِ، عَلَيْكَ بِالسَّوَادِ الْأَعْظَمِ (٤) إِنْ كَانَ السُّلْطَانُ يَسْمَعُ مِنْكَ، فَأْتِهِ فِي بَيْتِهِ، فَأَخْبِرْهُ بِمَا تَعْلَمُ، فَإِنْ قَبِلَ مِنْكَ، وَإِلَّا فَدَعْهُ، فَإِنَّكَ لَسْتَ بِأَعْلَمَ مِنْهُ " (٥)، ،

Saeed bin Jumhan (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I was present in the service of Ibn Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him), and by that time his eyesight had gone. He asked me, "Who are you?" I replied, "I am Saeed bin Jumhan." He asked, "How is your father?" I said, "He was killed by the Azariqah." He said twice, "May the curse of Allah be upon the Azariqah. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) told us that they are the dogs of Hell." I asked him, "Is this meant only for the people of the Azariqah sect or for all the Khawarij?" He replied, "It is meant for all the Khawarij." Then I said, "Sometimes the ruler also commits oppression and injustice against the people." He pressed my hand hard and pinched me very sharply and said, "O Ibn Jumhan! Woe to you, follow the main body (sawad-e-azam), follow the main body. If the ruler listens to you, then go to his house, to him, and mention to him what you know. If he accepts it, very good, otherwise you are not more knowledgeable than him."
