حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَسُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏الْمَعْنَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْمُعَلَّى بْنِ زِيَادٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَهِشَامِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْحَسَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ضَبَّةَ بْنِ مِحْصَنٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ سَتَكُونُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَئِمَّةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏تَعْرِفُونَ مِنْهُمْ وَتُنْكِرُونَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَنْ أَنْكَرَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ هِشَامٌ بِلِسَانِهِ فَقَدْ بَرِئَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَنْ كَرِهَ بِقَلْبِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَدْ سَلِمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَكِنْ مَنْ رَضِيَ وَتَابَعَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقِيلَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَفَلَا نَقْتُلُهُمْ ؟،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ ابْنُ دَاوُدَ:‏‏‏‏ أَفَلَا نُقَاتِلُهُمْ ؟،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏مَا صَلَّوْا .

He said: The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: You will have commanders some of whom you will approve and some of whom you will disapprove. He who expresses disapproval with his tongue (Abu Dawud said: This is Hisham’s version) is guiltless; and he who feels disapproval in his heart, is safe, but he who is pleased and follows them. He was asked; shall we not kill them, Messenger of Allah? Abu Dawud’s version has: Shall we not fight with them? He replied: No, so long as they pray.
