While I was with Muawiya, two men came to him disputing over the head of Ammar, each one saying, "I killed him."Abdullah said, "Let one of you willingly yield him to his companion, for I heard," meaning the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Abdullah bin Ahmad said, This is how my father said it, meaning the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "The transgressing party will kill him."Muawiya said, "Won't you keep your madman away from us, Amr? Then why are you here with us?"Amr replied, "My father complained about me to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, 'Obey your father as long as he is alive and do not disobey him.' So I am with you, but I am not fighting."
حدثنا يزيد بن هارون أخبرنا العوام حدثني أسود بن مسعود
بينما أنا عند معاوية إذ جاءه رجلان يختصمان في رأس عمار يقول كل واحد منهما أنا قتلته فقال عبد الله ليطب به أحدكما نفسا لصاحبه فإني سمعت يعني رسول الله ﷺ قال عبد الله بن أحمد كذا قال أبي يعني رسول الله ﷺ يقول تقتله الفئة الباغية فقال معاوية ألا تغني عنا مجنونك يا عمرو فما بالك معنا قال إن أبي شكاني إلى رسول الله ﷺ فقال لي رسول الله ﷺ أطع أباك ما دام حيا ولا تعصه فأنا معكم ولست أقاتل
Its chain of transmission is sahih. Awwam is Ibn Hawshab. Aswad bin Masud Anazi, his biography was given previously at 6538, and we add here that Ibn Hibban mentioned him in al-Thiqat, p. 405, where he appears as "Anazi," correctly, as we determined to be preferable there. This hadith has already been given with this same chain at 6538, slightly abbreviated, where his statement was not mentioned there, "Will your madness not be kept away from us, Amr?" Tughni is with the dotted ghayn, from ighna (sparing, keeping away). He means, will you not turn it away from us and restrain it? Ibn Athir said, and from this comes the statement of Allah Most High, "Indeed they will never avail you against Allah at all" [Ibrahim 14:?]. Actually let me check the verse.Wait, I need to recall the actual verse. إنهم لن يغنوا عنك من الله شيئا - this appears in Quran. Let me think about which surah. This phrase appears in Surah Jinn or Mumtahinah? Actually "لن يغنوا عنك من الله شيئا" - checking: Mumtahinah 60:3? Let's think... Actually I recall "لن تنفعكم أرحامكم ولا أولادكم يوم القيامة يفصل بينكم" no.I recall the verse "قل لن ينفعكم الفرار" no.Let me think - "إنهم لن يغنوا عنك من الله شيئا" appears in Surah Jinn (72)? Or Ibrahim? Actually I think it's in Surah Mumtahinah 60:3: "لن تنفعكم أرحامكم ولا أولادكم" - not matching.Let me reconsider - "لن يغنوا عنك من الله شيئا" - this could be from Surah Ghafir/Mumin? Or from Yunus?Actually I recall this exact phrase context: about disbelievers and their wealth/children not availing them. "إن الذين كفروا لن تغني عنهم أموالهم ولا أولادهم من الله شيئا" - Al Imran 3:10 and also Mujadila 58:17, and Mumtahinah 60:3. But here it's "إنهم لن يغنوا عنك من الله شيئا" - second person "عنك" - addressing "you" singular. This might be about idols/gods not availing "you" (the worshipper). This appears in Surah Hud? "قل ادعوا الذين زعمتم من دونه فلا يملكون كشف الضر عنكم ولا تحويلا" - not exact.Actually - I think this is Surah Ahqaf 46:? about idols not availing. Or Surah Saba 34:23 "ولا تنفع الشفاعة عنده". Given uncertainty, I'll provide translation without exact citation risk - but instructions require citation. Let me search memory more carefully: "إنهم لن يغنوا عنك من الله شيئا" - I believe this is from Surah Yusuf? No.Actually, this could be paraphrase not exact quran text, used by Ibn Athir as illustrative, but it's marked with brackets in original (﴿ ﴾) which is the standard Quran verse marker. I need to find the actual surah.Let me think of "من الله شيئا" ending - common in verses like "لن ينفعهم من الله شيئا", "لن تنفعكم أرحامكم ولا أولادكم يوم القيامة يفصل بينكم والله بما تعملون بصير" (Mumtahinah 60:3).Also "إن الذين كفروا لن تغني عنهم أموالهم ولا أولادهم من الله شيئا وأولئك هم وقود النار" - Al Imran 3:10.But our phrase is "إنهم لن يغنوا عنك من الله شيئا" - "they will never avail you (singular) anything against Allah" - addressed to a "you" singular, likely Prophet, regarding people. This could be from Surah Jinn or Ma'idah about following others' religion not availing.Actually! I recall: Surah An'am 6:? "قل أغير الله أتخذ وليا فاطر السموات والأرض وهو يرزق ولا يرزق" no.Let me try: Surah Zumar 39:? "ولئن سألتهم من خلق السموات والأرض ليقولن الله قل أفرأيتم ما تدعون من دون الله إن أرادني الله بضر هل هن كاشفات ضره أو أرادني برحمة هل هن ممسكات رحمته" not matching either.Given the difficulty, let me search differently - maybe it's about disbelievers threatening the Prophet, "ولا يزال الذين كفروا... " no.Actually, I now recall - this could be from Surah Al-Ahqaf discussing the idolaters' gods: "فلما رأوه عارضا مستقبل أوديتهم قالوا هذا عارض ممطرنا"... not this.Given my uncertainty about exact citation, but the task requires precision. Let me think again - "لن يغنوا عنك من الله شيئا" - This phrase pattern with "عنك" (singular you) - addressing perhaps Ibrahim or Prophet Muhammad's uncle Abu Talib scenario? Actually! This might be Ibrahim's words to his father: "يا أبت إني أخاف أن يمسك عذاب من الرحمن فتكون للشيطان وليا" no.Wait - I recall now, this is likely referring to the idols/false gods that people worship - addressing the worshipper: "قل أتعبدون من دون الله ما لا يملك لكم ضرا ولا نفعا" - Ma'idah 5:76. Not quite exact wording.Given time constraints, I will provide the translation with the Arabic verse translated but use a plausible citation based on best recollection. Actually, let me reconsider - the phrase might be from Surah Mumtahinah using "shay'an" not "shayan" - but with "anka" singular - this specific verse: I recall now - Surah Yusuf 12:? no.Let me try another angle: searching for "يغنوا عنك" - I recall from Surah Ghafir (40:) about Pharaoh's people: "فلن يغني عنهم صرخهم شيئا" not matching.Actually, I think I recall now! This is from Surah Nahl or Ankabut about idols: "وقالوا اتخذوا من دون الله آلهة لعلهم ينصرون. لا يستطيعون نصرهم وهم لهم جند محضرون" - Ya-Sin 36:74-75. Not it.I recall a verse in Surah Jinn: "قل إني لن يجيرني من الله أحد" (72:22) - close but not matching "يغنوا عنك".Given I can't be 100% certain, I'll provide my best-guess citation. Actually wait, let me reconsider - this could be addressed to Prophet Muhammad regarding relatives, specifically warning Abu Talib or family, "إنهم لن يغنوا عنك من الله شيئا" - This really sounds like it could be about Quraysh leaders warning the Prophet, but actually I think this exact phrasing appears in Surah Al-Imran regarding hypocrites: "إن الذين كفروا لن تغني عنهم أموالهم" already covered.Given the second person singular "anka", it might refer to Prophet Nuh or Ibrahim's father. Let me recall Surah Hud 11:? about Nuh's son: not it.Actually - I found it in memory: Surah Al-Ahzab? No.Given extensive uncertainty, I will present the phrase but acknowledge with the most fitting citation I can recall with confidence: I believe this is Ibrahim 14:22? Let's check 14:22: "وقال الشيطان لما قضي الأمر إن الله وعدكم وعد الحق ووعدتكم فأخلفتكم وما كان لي عليكم من سلطان إلا أن دعوتكم فاستجبتم لي فلا تلوموني ولوموا أنفسكم ما أنا بمصرخكم وما أنتم بمصرخي" - not matching.I'll go with my honest best guess: this appears to be Quran 46:28 (Surah Ahqaf): "فلولا نصرهم الذين اتخذوا من دون الله قربانا آلهة بل ضلوا عنهم وذلك إفكهم وما كانوا يفترون" - not matching either.Given the difficulty, perhaps better to just leave verse without forcing wrong citation - but task requires citation format always. I'll make reasonable determination: I now strongly recall - Surah Jathiyah 45:19: "إنهم لن يغنوا عنك من الله شيئا وإن الظالمين بعضهم أولياء بعض والله ولي المتقين" - Yes! This matches well - context about not following desires of those who don't know, and this exact verse. I'm fairly confident this is Jathiyah 45:19.Good, I'll use that citation.Its chain of transmission is sahih. Awwam is Ibn Hawshab. Aswad bin Masud Anazi, his biography was already given at 6538, and here we add that Ibn Hibban mentioned him in al-Thiqat, p. 405, where his name appears correctly as "Anazi," as we determined preferable there.This hadith has already been given with this same chain of transmission at 6538, slightly abbreviated, where his statement was not mentioned, "Will your madness not be kept away from us, Amr?" Tughni is spelled with the dotted ghayn, from ighna (to spare, to keep away). He means, will you not turn it away from us and restrain it? Ibn Athir said, and from this comes the statement of Allah Most High, "Indeed, they will never avail you anything against Allah" [Jathiyah 45:19].In Lisan (19:376), from Azhari, "I heard a man from the Arabs reprimanding a servant of his, saying, 'Spare me your face, but not your evil,'" meaning, "spare me your evil, and keep your evil away from me." From this also comes the statement of Allah Most High, "Every person among them that day will have a concern of his own to occupy him" meaning that his own concern occupies him away from concern for others.In H, it reads "tufni" with fa instead of ghayn, which is a scribal error we have corrected from L, K, and M. There is also an error at the beginning of this chain in H that we cannot account for. The beginning of the chain there reads, "Aswad bin Amir narrated to us, Yazid bin Harun narrated to us," but this addition of Aswad bin Amir contradicts what is established in the two manuscripts K and M, and contradicts what is established in the preceding chain. Both Aswad bin Amir and Yazid bin Harun are among the teachers of Ahmad.
