Sahih al-Bukhari 7308 (Book 96, Hadith 39) #7014
Following Allah's Orders in Difficult Situations

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the battle of Siffin and how it was a difficult situation for those involved. It also emphasizes the importance of following Allah's orders and not relying on personal opinions in matters of religion.

Narrated Al-A'mash: I asked Abu Wail, "Did you witness the battle of Siffin between 'Ali and Muawiya?" He said, "Yes," and added, "Then I heard Sahl bin Hunaif saying, 'O people! Blame your personal opinions in your religion. No doubt, I remember myself on the day of Abi Jandal; if I had the power to refuse the order of Allah's Messenger , I would have refused it. We have never put our swords on our shoulders to get involved in a situation that might have been horrible for us, but those swords brought us to victory and peace, except this present situation'. " Abu Wail said, "I witnessed the battle of Siffin, and how nasty Siffin was!"
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو حَمْزَةَ، سَمِعْتُ الأَعْمَشَ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا وَائِلٍ هَلْ شَهِدْتَ صِفِّينَ قَالَ نَعَمْ‏.‏ فَسَمِعْتُ سَهْلَ بْنَ حُنَيْفٍ، يَقُولُ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، قَالَ قَالَ سَهْلُ بْنُ حُنَيْفٍ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّهِمُوا رَأْيَكُمْ عَلَى دِينِكُمْ، لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي يَوْمَ أَبِي جَنْدَلٍ وَلَوْ أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنَّ أَرُدَّ أَمْرَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ لَرَدَدْتُهُ، وَمَا وَضَعْنَا سُيُوفَنَا عَلَى عَوَاتِقِنَا إِلَى أَمْرٍ يُفْظِعُنَا إِلاَّ أَسْهَلْنَ بِنَا إِلَى أَمْرٍ نَعْرِفُهُ غَيْرَ هَذَا الأَمْرِ‏.‏ قَالَ وَقَالَ أَبُو وَائِلٍ شَهِدْتُ صِفِّينَ وَبِئْسَتْ صِفُّونَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of following Allah's orders even when faced with difficult situations. Abu Wail witnessed the battle of Siffin, which was a very difficult situation for those involved. He heard Sahl bin Hunaif say that if he had been able to refuse Allah's orders, he would have done so, but instead they followed them and were rewarded with victory and peace. This teaches us that we should always strive to obey Allah even when faced with challenging circumstances because He will reward us for our obedience. We should not rely on our own opinions or desires in matters related to religion as this can lead us astray from His path.
