71. Abaan, from Abu Baseer who said: ‘I was seated in the presence of Abu Abdullah (asws) when mother of Khalid who had been cut off by Yusuf Bin Umar came up, seeking permission to see him (asws). Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘Would you like to listen to her speech?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He (asws) said: ‘Grant her permission’, and he (asws) made me sit alongside him (asws) upon the seat. Then she came in. She spoke eloquently. So she asked about the two of them. He (asws) said to her: ‘Befriend the two of them’ She said, ‘Shall I say to my Lord (azwj) when I meet Him (azwj) that you (asws) ordered me to befriend them?’ He (asws) said: ‘Yes’. She said, ‘But the one who is seated with you (asws) upon the seat (Abu Baseer) has ordered me to keep away (Tabarra) from those two whilst Kaseer Al-Nawa has ordered me to befriend those two. So, which one is better and more beloved to you (asws)?’ He (asws) said: ‘By Allah (azwj)! This one here is more beloved to me (asws) than Kaseer Al-Nawa and his companions. This one here argues by saying: “[5:44] and whoever did not judge by what Allah revealed, those are they that are the unbelievers”; “[5:45] and whoever did not judge by what Allah revealed, those are they that are the unjust”; “[5:47] And the followers of the Injeel should have judged by what Allah revealed in it; and whoever did not judge by what Allah revealed, those are they that are the transgressors”.
