بسم الله والحمد لله
والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد
On the authority of Abu al-`Aaliyah al-Baraa’ that
`Abdullaah Ibn al-Zubair and `Abdullaah bin Safwaan were sitting in al-Hijr (al-Hijr
Isma`eel as it is more commonly known – the semicircle next to the Ka`bah) and
Ibn `Umar رضي الله عنهما, who was making
Tawaaf around the Ka`bah, passed by them. One of them said to the other: Of
those who are alive, do you see anyone better than him? A man was instructed to
call Ibn `Umar to them once he finishes his Tawaaf. So when Ibn `Umar finished
his Tawaaf and prayed two Rak`aat, the man approached him and said: `Abdullaah
Ibn al-Zubair and `Abdullaah bin Safwaan are calling you, so Ibn `Umar went to
them.
`Abdullaah bin Safwaan said: O Abu `Abdul Rahmaan! What
prevents you from giving your Bai`a (pledge) to Ameer al-Mu’mineen, meaning
`Abdullaah Ibn al-Zubair, whereas the Ahl al-`Uroodh (people of Makkah), and
people of al-`Iraaq and the common people of al-Shaam have given Bai`a to him?
Ibn `Umar said: “BY
ALLAAH! I WILL NOT GIVE MY PLEDGE TO YOU WHILE THE SWORDS ARE STILL HANGING ON
YOUR SHOULDERS, AND YOUR HANDS HAVE CAUSED THE BLOODSHED OF THE MUSLIMS.”
[Sunan al-Kubraa of al-Baihaqee (16808) and its chain is
Jayyid]
Note: This is clear evidence that Bai`a is not to be
given to anyone while the Fitnah still looms among them – till the matters are
decided in the favor of one of them and the Ummah agrees upon it (unlike some
people agree and others disagree) and that there is no more Fitnah.
