حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ وَكَانَ بَيْنَهُمَا شَىْءٌ فَغَدَوْتُ عَلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَقُلْتُ أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ تُقَاتِلَ ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ، فَتُحِلُّ حَرَمَ اللَّهِ‏.‏ فَقَالَ مَعَاذَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ وَبَنِي أُمَيَّةَ مُحِلِّينَ، وَإِنِّي وَاللَّهِ لاَ أُحِلُّهُ أَبَدًا‏.‏ قَالَ قَالَ النَّاسُ بَايِعْ لاِبْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ وَأَيْنَ بِهَذَا الأَمْرِ عَنْهُ أَمَّا أَبُوهُ فَحَوَارِيُّ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، يُرِيدُ الزُّبَيْرَ، وَأَمَّا جَدُّهُ فَصَاحِبُ الْغَارِ، يُرِيدُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ، وَأُمُّهُ فَذَاتُ النِّطَاقِ، يُرِيدُ أَسْمَاءَ، وَأَمَّا خَالَتُهُ فَأُمُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، يُرِيدُ عَائِشَةَ، وَأَمَّا عَمَّتُهُ فَزَوْجُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، يُرِيدُ خَدِيجَةَ، وَأَمَّا عَمَّةُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَجَدَّتُهُ، يُرِيدُ صَفِيَّةَ، ثُمَّ عَفِيفٌ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ، قَارِئٌ لِلْقُرْآنِ‏.‏ وَاللَّهِ إِنْ وَصَلُونِي وَصَلُونِي مِنْ قَرِيبٍ، وَإِنْ رَبُّونِي رَبَّنِي أَكْفَاءٌ كِرَامٌ، فَآثَرَ التُّوَيْتَاتِ وَالأُسَامَاتِ وَالْحُمَيْدَاتِ، يُرِيدُ أَبْطُنًا مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ بَنِي تُوَيْتٍ وَبَنِي أُسَامَةَ وَبَنِي أَسَدٍ، إِنَّ ابْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ بَرَزَ يَمْشِي الْقُدَمِيَّةَ، يَعْنِي عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ بْنَ مَرْوَانَ، وَإِنَّهُ لَوَّى ذَنَبَهُ، يَعْنِي ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ‏.‏

Narrated Ibn Abi Mulaika:There was a disagreement between them (i.e. Ibn `Abbas and Ibn Az-Zubair) so I went to Ibn `Abbas in the morning and said (to him), "Do you want to fight against Ibn Az-Zubair and thus make lawful what Allah has made unlawful (i.e. fighting in Mecca)?" Ibn `Abbas said, "Allah forbid! Allah ordained that Ibn Az-Zubair and Bani Umaiya would permit (fighting in Mecca), but by Allah, I will never regard it as permissible." Ibn `Abbas added. "The people asked me to take the oath of allegiance to Ibn Az-Zubair. I said, 'He is really entitled to assume authority for his father, Az-Zubair was the helper of the Prophet, his (maternal) grandfather, Abu Bakr was (the Prophet's) companion in the cave, his mother, Asma' was 'Dhatun-Nitaq', his aunt, `Aisha was the mother of the Believers, his paternal aunt, Khadija was the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ) , and the paternal aunt of the Prophet (ﷺ) was his grandmother. He himself is pious and chaste in Islam, well versed in the Knowledge of the Qur'an. By Allah! (Really, I left my relatives, Bani Umaiya for his sake though) they are my close relatives, and if they should be my rulers, they are equally apt to be so and are descended from a noble family

Ibn Abu Mulaika bataate hain: Ibn Abbas aur Ibn Az-Zubair ke darmiyaan ikhtelaf tha, to main subah Ibn Abbas ke paas gaya aur kaha, 'Kya aap Ibn Az-Zubair ke khilaaf jang karna chahte hain aur is tarah wo cheez halaal karna chahte hain jise Allah ne haraam kiya hai (yaani Makkah mein jang)?' Ibn Abbas ne kaha, 'Allah maaf kare! Allah ne muqarrar kiya hai ke Ibn Az-Zubair aur Bani Umaiya (Makkah mein jang) jaayez qaraar denge, magar Allah ki qasam, main ise kabhi jaayez nahi maanunga.' Ibn Abbas ne aage kaha, 'Logon ne mujhse Ibn Az-Zubair ki baiat karne ko kaha. Maine kaha, "Wo waaqai hukoomat sambhaalne ke haqdaar hain, kyunke unke waalid Az-Zubair Nabi (SAW) ke madadgaar the, unke naanaa Abu Bakr Nabi (SAW) ke ghaar ke saathi the, unki maa Asma 'Zaatun-Nitaaq' thi, unki khaala Aisha Ummul-Momineen thin, unki phuppi Khadija Nabi (SAW) ki biwi thin, aur Nabi (SAW) ki phuppi unki naani thin. Wo khud Islam mein nek aur paak-daaman hain, Quran ke ilm mein maahir hain. Allah ki qasam! (Maine apne rishtedaar) Bani Umaiya ko unki khaatir chhod diya (halaanke) wo mere qareebi rishtedaar hain, aur agar wo mere hukmaraan bhi hote, to wo bhi isi tarah izzatdaar khaandaan se hote."'
