أخبرنا الفضل بن دكين قال: أخبرنا أبو العلاء الخفاف عن المنهال بن عمرو قال: جاء رجل إلى ابن الحنفية فسلّم عليه، فردّ عليه السلام، فقال: كيف أنت؟ فحرك يده، فقال: كيف أنتم؟ أما آن لكم أن تعرفوا كيف نحن؟ إنما مثلنا في هذه الأمة مثل بني إسرائيل في آل فرعون، كان يذبح أبناءهم ويستحيي نساءهم، وإن هؤلاء يذبحون أبناءنا وينكحون نساءنا بغير أمرنا. فزعمت العرب أن لها فضلاً على العجم، فقالت العجم: وما ذاك؟ قالوا: كان محمد عربياً، قالوا: صدقتم. قالوا: وزعمت قريش أن لها فضلاً على العرب، فقالت العرب: وبم ذا؟ قالوا: قد كان محمد قرشياً، فإن كان القوم صدقوا فلنا فضل على الناس.
Al-Fadl b. Dukayn narrated to us, saying: Abu al-ʿAlaʾ al-Khifaf narrated to us from al-Minhāl b. ʿAmr, who said: A man came to Ibn al-Hanafiyyah and greeted him with salām. He returned the greeting, and the man asked, “How are you?” Ibn al-Hanafiyyah moved his hand and said, “How are you? Has the time not come for you to understand our situation? Our likeness in this nation is like that of the Children of Israel under Pharaoh’s rule—he would slaughter their sons and keep their women alive. Likewise, these people slaughter our sons and marry our women without our permission.”
Then he continued, “The Arabs claimed they had superiority over the non-Arabs.” The non-Arabs asked, “Why is that?” The Arabs responded, “Because Muhammad was an Arab.” The non-Arabs replied, “You have spoken the truth.”
Then he said, “Quraysh claimed superiority over the Arabs.” The Arabs asked, “On what basis?” Quraysh responded, “Because Muhammad was from Quraysh.” Then, if what they say is true, we too have superiority over the people.”
