حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ الْأَسْلَمِيُّ عَنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ جَاءَهُ ابْنُهُ عَامِرٌ فَقَالَ أَيْ بُنَيَّ أَفِي الْفِتْنَةِ تَأْمُرُنِي أَنْ أَكُونَ رَأْسًا لَا وَاللَّهِ حَتَّى أُعْطَى سَيْفًا إِنْ ضَرَبْتُ بِهِ مُؤْمِنًا نَبَا عَنْهُ وَإِنْ ضَرَبْتُ بِهِ كَافِرًا قَتَلَهُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُحِبُّ الْغَنِيَّ الْخَفِيَّ التَّقِيَّ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 1529
It was narrated from Umar bin Saad, from his father, that he said: His son 'Amir came to him and he said: O my son, do you want me to be a leading figure in the turmoil? No, by Allah, not unless I am given a sword which, if I wanted to strike a believer with it, it would refuse to strike him, but if I wanted to strike a disbeliever with it, it would kill him. I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say: "Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, loves the one who is independent of means, reclusive and pious."
