Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Abdullah ibn Yusuf narrated to us, saying: Malik informed us from Ibn Shihab from Salim, who said: Sahih al-Bukhari 1660.
The Shaykh : Look at how the princes obeyed the caliphs, and look at how the caliphs also returned to the people of knowledge. For Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan (may Allah have mercy on him) wrote to al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf al-Thaqafi, who was known for his tyranny and oppression—and there is no need to mention what he did—telling him not to contradict Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) in the Hajj. And what you have heard came to pass: Ibn Umar waited until al-Hajjaj came out, and he walked.
Abd al-Malik wrote to al-Hajjaj not to contradict Ibn Umar in the Hajj. So Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) came, and I was with him on the Day of 'Arafah when the sun had passed its zenith. He called out at al-Hajjaj's tent, and al-Hajjaj came out wearing a saffron-colored cloak. He said: "What is the matter, O Abu Abd al-Rahman?" He said: "It is time to depart, if you want to follow the Sunnah." He said: "At this hour?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Wait for me until I pour water over my head, then I will come out." So he went down until al-Hajjaj came out, and he walked between me and my father. I said: "If you want to follow the Sunnah, shorten the sermon and hasten the standing." He kept looking at Abdullah, and when Abdullah saw that, he said: "He is telling the truth."
كتب عبد الملك إلى الحجاج أن لا يخالف ابن عمر في الحج فجاء ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما وأنا معه يوم عرفة حين زالت الشمس فصاح عند سرادق الحجاج فخرج وعليه ملحفة معصفرة فقال : ما لك يا أبا عبد الرحمن فقال : الرواح إن كنت تريد السنة قال : هذه الساعة ؟ قال : نعم قال : فانظرني حتى أفيض على رأسي ثم أخرج ، فنزل حتى خرج الحجاج فسار بيني وبين أبي فقلت : إن كنت تريد السنة فاقصر الخطبة وعجل الوقوف فجعل ينظر إلى عبد الله فلما رأى ذلك عبد الله قال : صدقThe Shaykh : Look at how the princes obeyed the caliphs, and look at how the caliphs also returned to the people of knowledge.
