حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الرَّقِّيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الرَّقِّيُّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَرَادَ الضَّحَّاکُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ أَنْ يَسْتَعْمِلَ مَسْرُوقًا فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَارَةُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ أَتَسْتَعْمِلُ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَقَايَا قَتَلَةِ عُثْمَانَ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَسْرُوقٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَکَانَ فِي أَنْفُسِنَا مَوْثُوقَ الْحَدِيثِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا أَرَادَ قَتْلَ أَبِيکَ قَالَ مَنْ لِلصِّبْيَةِ قَالَ النَّارُ فَقَدْ رَضِيتُ لَکَ مَا رَضِيَ لَکَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2686
Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: Ibrahim said: Ad-Dahhak ibn Qays intended to appoint Masruq as governor. Thereupon Umarah ibn Uqbah said to him: Are you appointing a man from the remnants of the murderers of Uthman? Masruq said to him: Ibn Masud narrated to us, and he was trustworthy in respect of traditions, that when the Prophet ﷺ intended to kill your father, he said: Who will look after my children? He replied: Fire. I also like for you what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ liked for you.
