حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبَانَ وَوَاصِلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْوَكِيعِىُّ - وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ أَبَانَ - قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَالِمَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ يَا أَهْلَ الْعِرَاقِ مَا أَسْأَلَكُمْ عَنِ الصَّغِيرَةِ وَأَرْكَبَكُمْ لِلْكَبِيرَةِ سَمِعْتُ أَبِى عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَقُولُ « إِنَّ الْفِتْنَةَ تَجِىءُ مِنْ هَا هُنَا ». وَأَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ نَحْوَ الْمَشْرِقِ « مِنْ حَيْثُ يَطْلُعُ قَرْنَا الشَّيْطَانِ ». وَأَنْتُمْ يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ وَإِنَّمَا قَتَلَ مُوسَى الَّذِى قَتَلَ مِنْ آلِ فِرْعَوْنَ خَطَأً فَقَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَهُ (وَقَتَلْتَ نَفْسًا فَنَجَّيْنَاكَ مِنَ الْغَمِّ وَفَتَنَّاكَ فُتُونًا) قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ فِى رِوَايَتِهِ عَنْ سَالِمٍ لَمْ يَقُلْ سَمِعْتُ.

Salim bin 'Abdullah bin 'Umar said: "O people of Al-'Iraq, how often you ask about minor issues when you are committing major sins? I heard my father, 'Abdullah bin 'Umar, say: I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) say: 'Tribulation will come from there,' and he pointed with his hand towards the east, 'where the horns of the Shaitan appear.' You are striking one another's necks, but Musa killed the one whom he killed of Pharaoh's people by mistake, and Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said to him: '... Then you did kill a man, but We saved you from great distress and tried you with a heavy trial..."' Ahmad bin 'Umar said in his report: "from Salim,'' he did not say: "I heard Salim."
