Section:SupplicationoftheUnjustlyWronged.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from his father that Umar ibn al- Khattabgaveamawlaof hiscalledHunayychargeoverthehima.Hesaid,“Hunayy!Do not harm the people. Fear the supplication of the wronged, for the supplication of the wronged is answered. Let the one with a small herd of camels and the one with a small herd of sheep enter, but be wary of the livestock of Ibn Awf and the livestock of Ibn Affan.Iftheirlivestockaredestroyed,theywillreturntopalm-treesandagriculture.Ifthe livestock of the one with a small herd of camels and the one with a small herd of sheep are destroyed, he will bring his children to me crying, ‘Amir al-muminin! Amir al- Muminin!’ Shall I neglect them? Water and pasturage are of less value to me than gold and silver. By Allah, they think that I have wronged them. This is their land and their water. They fought for it in the jahiliyya and became muslims on it in Islam. By He in whose handmyself is!Were itnotforthemounts which I give to beridden inthe wayof Allah, I would not have turned a span of their land into hima.”
