Musnad Ahmad 439 (Book 4, Hadith 36) #34110
Mercy and Preference of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) showed preferential treatment to the Quraish and Banu Hashim, and he also showed mercy to Ammar bin Yasir's family when they were being tortured.

It was narrated that Salim bin Abul-Ja'd said, 'Uthman (رضي الله عنه) called some of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, among whom was 'Ammar bin Yasir, and said: I am going to ask you something and I would like you to be honest with me. I adjure you by Allah, do you know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to give Quraish precedence over all people and he gave precedence to Banu Hashim over all of Quraish? The people fell silent, then 'Uthman said: If I had the keys of Paradise in my hand, I would have given them to Banu Umayyah his own clan so that they could all, down to the last man, enter it. Then he sent for Talhah and az-Zubair. And 'Uthman (رضي الله عنه) said: Should I tell you about him - ie Ammar? I was walking with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , who was holding my hand, and we were walking in al-Batha', until he came to where his 'Ammar's father and mother were being tortured'.Ammar's father said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, are we going to be like this forever? The Prophet ﷺ said to him: 'Be patient". Then he said: "O Allah, forgive the family of Yasir, and You have already done so".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، حَدَّثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْفَضْلِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، قَالَ دَعَا عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ نَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِيهِمْ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَائِلُكُمْ وَإِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَصْدُقُونِي نَشَدْتُكُمْ اللَّهَ أَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُؤْثِرُ قُرَيْشًا عَلَى سَائِرِ النَّاسِ وَيُؤْثِرُ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ عَلَى سَائِرِ قُرَيْشٍ فَسَكَتَ الْقَوْمُ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ لَوْ أَنَّ بِيَدِي مَفَاتِيحَ الْجَنَّةِ لَأَعْطَيْتُهَا بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ حَتَّى يَدْخُلُوا مِنْ عِنْدِ آخِرِهِمْ فَبَعَثَ إِلَى طَلْحَةَ وَالزُّبَيْرِ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكُمَا عَنْهُ يَعْنِي عَمَّارًا أَقْبَلْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ آخِذًا بِيَدِي نَتَمَشَّى فِي الْبَطْحَاءِ حَتَّى أَتَى عَلَى أَبِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ وَعَلَيْهِ يُعَذَّبُونَ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَمَّارٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الدَّهْرَ هَكَذَا فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اصْبِرْ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِآلِ يَاسِرٍ وَقَدْ فَعَلْتُ‏.‏
