Explanation of the Book of Fitnahs and Rulings-02b

The reciter: Isma'il ibn Shahin al-Wasiti narrated to us, and Khalid narrated to us from Bayyan, from Wabra ibn 'Abd al-Rahman, from Sa'id ibn Jubayr, who said: خرج علينا عبد الله بن عمر فرجونا أن يحدثنا حديثًا حسنًا قال فبادرنا إليه رجل فقال : يا أبا عبد الرحمن حدثنا عن القتال في الفتنة والله يقول : وقاتلوهم حتى لا تكون فتنة فقال هل تدري ما الفتنة ثكلتك أمك إنما كان محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم يقاتل المشركين وكان الدخول في دينهم فتنةً وليس كقتالكم على الملك Abdullah ibn Umar came out to us, and we hoped he would narrate a good hadith to us. A man rushed to him and said: "O Abu Abd al-Rahman, tell us about fighting in fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), for Allah says: (And fight them until there is no fitnah (trial, discord or temptation))." He said: "Do you know what fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) is? May your mother be bereaved of you! Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fight the mushrikeen (those who associate partners with Allah), and entering their religion was a fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), and it is not like your fighting for the kingship.".

The Shaykh : His saying (peace and blessings be upon him): This is a hadith that must be applied to the specific place where it was said. This is because if it were said that the fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) comes from the east from every place, it would follow that someone in Africa would see the fitnah coming from the Hijaz, for example, and someone in Europe would see it coming from Africa, for example, or from the Hijaz or elsewhere. This is one of the hadiths that must be interpreted according to its specific location. And his saying: is a doubt from the narrator. There is no doubt that the horn of the sun rises with the horn of Shaytan (Satan), because when the sun rises, Shaytan is alongside it, and the disbelievers prostrate to it, and he sees that they are prostrating to him. Then he mentioned the other hadith: I think he said, in the third: The scholars said that Najd is a name for every elevated place, and that what is meant by it is Najd al-'Iraq, because the fitan (trials, discords or temptations) appeared in Najd al-'Iraq with great prominence in the late period of the Rightly Guided Caliphs, and also in the early period of the Umayyad Caliphate. And we will take the words of ... now the explanation.
