Adhabu Zinazowapata Wale Wanaomshambulia - Maisha ya Ibn Hanbal | Quran Course

Then al-Wāthiq said: ‘Ninafikiri juu ya jinsi nilivyodai kila mtu akubali fundisho kwamba Qur’ani imeumbwa. Nimeona jinsi baadhi ya watu walivyolikubali fundisho hilo haraka, na jinsi wengine walivyolipinga kwa ukaidi. Kwa wale wanaopinga, nimejaribu kuwapiga viboko, kuwakata vichwa, kuwapiga, na kuwafunga gerezani, lakini hakuna kati ya hayo linaloonekana kuwa na athari yoyote. Zaidi ya hayo: wale waliotii amri yangu walifanya hivyo kwa sababu walitaka kitu kutoka kwangu, kwa hiyo wakaukubali itikadi yangu mara moja wakitumaini zawadi. Waliopinga, kwa upande mwingine, hawana nia nyingine isipokuwa dhamiri ya kidini, ambayo inawaweka imara hata wanapouawa au kupigwa au kutupwa gerezani. Haya yote yamenifanya nianze kufikiri, na ninaanza kutilia shaka kama tunachokifanya ni sahihi. Je, kweli tunapaswa kuwahukumu watu na kuwatesa kwa sababu ya jambo hili? Nimefikia hatua ya kuwa tayari kukomesha Mahakama ya Kuhoji Imani na kuacha kabisa mijadala ya kitaaluma, na niko tayari kutuma wajumbe kutangaza uamuzi wangu na kukomesha mapigano haya yote miongoni mwetu.’ Wa kwanza kujibu alikuwa Ibn Abī Duʾād. Alisema: ‘Jihadhari, Amīr wa Waumini! Umefufua utaratibu na kurejesha sehemu ya dini, kwa hiyo fikiri mara mbili kabla ya kuufuta na kuuua. Licha ya juhudi zao, watangulizi wako hawakufanikiwa kama wewe. Mwenyezi Mungu akulipe kwa ukarimu kama anavyowalipa washirika wake wowote kwa niaba ya Uislamu na dini ya kweli!’ 96.5

“Then al-Wāthiq said: ‘I’ve been thinking about how I’ve demanded everyone’s assent to the doctrine that the Qurʾan is created. I’ve noticed how quickly some people adopted the belief and how stubbornly the others are resisting it. With the ones who resist, I’ve tried flogging, beheading, beating, and imprisonment, but none of it seems to have any effect. Not only that: the ones who’ve obeyed me did so because they wanted something from me, and so adopted my creed immediately hoping for a reward. The dissenters, on the other hand, have no motive except pious scruple, which sustains them even when they’re killed or beaten or thrown in jail. All of this started me thinking, and I’m beginning to doubt whether what we’re doing is right. Should we really be putting people on trial and torturing them over this? I’ve reached the point where I’m ready to stop the Inquisition and give up Disputation altogether, and I’m ready to send out some heralds to announce my decision and put a stop to all this fighting among ourselves.’ “The first to respond was Ibn Abī Duʾād. He said: ‘Have a care, Commander of the Faithful! You’ve revived a precedent and restored an element of the faith, so think twice before you annul it and kill it off. Try as they did, your predecessors never achieved as much as you have. May God reward you as generously as he awards any of His allies on behalf of Islam and true religion!’ 96.5

"Respect the body God has given you and take care of it, since it's the only one you have!" "No," said al-Wāthiq, "I must have something." He lifted up the sheet, and clamped there between his legs was a concubine whom Mikhāʾīl later described as extraordinarily beautiful and shapely. "Who could resist someone like this?" "Well then, if you must have it, then what you need is lion meat. Have them prepare four hundred grams and boil it seven times in aged wine vinegar. When you sit down to drink, have them weigh out three dirhams' worth. Take one dirham's worth with wine for three nights running and you'll get the results you want. But be careful not to take too much. Whatever you do, don't exceed the dosage I've prescribed." For several days al-Wāthiq neglected to pursue the matter, but then one day as he was sitting and drinking he remembered the prescription. Swahili translation: "Heshimu mwili ambao Mungu amekupa, na uutunze, kwa kuwa ndio mwili pekee ulio nao!" "Hapana," akasema al-Wāthiq, "lazima nipate kitu fulani." Akainua shuka, na kati ya miguu yake kulikuwa na suria mmoja ambaye Mikhāʾīl baadaye alimweleza kuwa mrembo wa ajabu na mwenye umbo zuri. "Ni nani angeweza kumkataa mtu kama huyu?" "Basi, ikiwa lazima uupate, basi unachohitaji ni nyama ya simba. Waandae gramu mia nne na uichemshe mara saba kwenye siki ya divai iliyoiva. Utakapoketi kunywa, waambie wapime dirhamu tatu. Chukua dirhamu moja pamoja na divai kwa usiku tatu mfululizo, nawe utapata matokeo unayotaka. Lakini kuwa mwangalifu usichukue kupita kiasi. Lolote utakalofanya, usizidishe kipimo nilichoagiza." Kwa siku kadhaa al-Wāthiq hakushughulikia jambo hilo, lakini siku moja alipokuwa ameketi akinywa alikumbuka maagizo hayo.
