Sahih al-Bukhari 6843 (Book 92, Hadith 59)
Qurra’ (the Kharijites) revolted in Basra, I went out with my father to Abu Barza Al-Aslami till we
entered upon him in his house while he was sitting in the shade of a room built of cane. So we sat with
him and my father started talking to him saying, “O Abu Barza! Don’t you see in what dilemma the
people has fallen?” The first thing heard him saying “I seek reward from Allah for myself because of
being angry and scornful at the Quraish tribe. O you Arabs! You know very well that you were in
misery and were few in number and misguided, and that Allah has brought you out of all that with
Islam and with Muhammad till He brought you to this state (of prosperity and happiness) which you
see now; and it is this worldly wealth and pleasures which has caused mischief to appear among you.
The one who is in Sham (i.e., Marwan), by Allah, is not fighting except for the sake of worldly gain:
and those who are among you, by Allah, are not fighting except for the sake of worldly gain; and that
one who is in Mecca (i.e., Ibn Az-Zubair) by Allah, is not fighting except for the sake of worldly
gain.”
