Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ الشَّامِيُّ مِنْ أَهْلِ فِلَسْطِينَ عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهَا فَسِيلَةُ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمِنَ الْعَصَبِيَّةِ أَنْ يُحِبَّ الرَّجُلُ قَوْمَهُ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنْ مِنْ الْعَصَبِيَّةِ أَنْ يَنْصُرَ الرَّجُلُ قَوْمَهُ عَلَى الظُّلْمِ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ سَمِعْتُ مَنْ يَذْكُرُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَنَّ أَبَاهَا يَعْنِي فَسِيلَةَ وَاثِلَةُ بْنُ الْأَسْقَعِ وَرَأَيْتُ أَبِي جَعَلَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فِي آخِرِ أَحَادِيثِ وَاثِلَةَ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ أَلْحَقَهُ فِي حَدِيثِ وَاثِلَةَ.
English Translation
Ziyad ibn al-Rabi' told us, saying: Abbad ibn Kathir al-Shami, of the people of Palestine, told us, from a woman among them called Fasilah, that she said: I heard my father say: I asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: "O Messenger of Allah, is it tribalism ('asabiyyah) for a man to love his own people?" He said: "No, but it is tribalism for a man to support his own people in wrongdoing." Abu Abd al-Rahman said: I heard someone among the people of knowledge mention that her father — that is, Fasilah's — was Wathilah ibn al-Asqa', and I saw that my father placed this hadith at the end of the hadiths of Wathilah, so I supposed that he attached it to the hadith of Wathilah.
