Umayr ibn Hani' said: 'Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan sent me with letters to al-Hajjaj. I came to him while he had set up forty catapults against the House (Ka'bah). I saw Ibn Umar: when the prayer came with al-Hajjaj, he prayed with him, and when Ibn al-Zubayr was present, he prayed with him. I said to him: O Abu Abd al-Rahman, you pray with these people despite their deeds? He said: O brother from the people of Syria, I do not praise them, and we do not obey a creature in disobedience to the Creator. I said: What do you say about the people of Syria? He said: I do not praise them. I said: What about the people of Makkah? He said: I do not excuse them. They fight over the world, falling into the Fire as flies fall into soup. I said: What about this pledge of allegiance that Marwan has taken from us? Ibn Umar said: When we used to pledge allegiance to the Messenger of Allah to hear and obey, he would prompt us: as much as you are able.'
