حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ هِلَالٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، قَالَ: أَرَادَ زِيَادٌ أَنْ يَبْعَثَ عِمْرَانَ بْنَ حُصَيْنٍ عَلَى خُرَاسَانَ، فَأَبَى عَلَيْهِ، (١) فَقَالَ لَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ: أَتَرَكْتَ خُرَاسَانَ أَنْ تَكُونَ عَلَيْهَا؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ إِنِّي وَاللهِ مَا يَسُرُّنِي أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ بِحَرِّهَا، وَتُصَلُّونَ بِبَرْدِهَا، إِنِّي أَخَافُ إِذَا كُنْتُ فِي نُحُورِ الْعَدُوِّ، أَنْ يَأْتِيَنِي كِتَابٌ مِنْ زِيَادٍ، فَإِنْ أَنَا مَضَيْتُ هَلَكْتُ، وَإِنْ رَجَعْتُ ضُرِبَتْ عُنُقِي، قَالَ: فَأَرَادَ الْحَكَمَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو الْغِفَارِيَّ عَلَيْهَا، قَالَ: فَانْقَادَ لِأَمْرِهِ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ عِمْرَانُ: أَلَا أَحَدٌ يَدْعُو لِي الْحَكَمَ، قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقَ الرَّسُولُ، قَالَ: فَأَقْبَلَ الْحَكَمُ إِلَيْهِ، قَالَ: فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ عِمْرَانُ لِلْحَكَمِ: أَسَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: " لَا طَاعَةَ لِأَحَدٍ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللهِ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَقَالَ عِمْرَانُ: لِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ، أَوِ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ (٢)،

English translation

Abdullah bin Samit says that Ziyad wanted to appoint Imran bin Husain as the governor of Khurasan, but he refused. His friends said to him, "Are you refusing to become the governor of Khurasan?" He replied, "By Allah, I do not like that I should suffer its heat and you its cold. I fear that if I am in front of the enemy and a letter from Ziyad comes to me, if I enforce it, I will be destroyed, and if I do not enforce it, my neck will be cut off." Then Ziyad wanted to appoint Hakam bin Amr Ghafari to this position, and he agreed. When Imran bin Husain found out, he said, "Let someone go and bring Hakam to me." So a messenger went and Hakam came. He entered his house, and Imran asked him, "Did you hear the Prophet (peace be upon him) say that there is no obedience to anyone in disobedience to Allah?" He replied, "Yes." So Imran thanked Allah and said, "Allahu Akbar."
