"I will not remain silent!"

Its narrated in the old books:


قال ابن طاهر المقدسي الحافظ : سمعت الامام ابا اسماعيل عبدالله بن محمد الانصاري بهراة يقول : عرضت على السيف خمس مرات لا يقال لي ارجع عن مذهبك لكن يقال لي اسكت عمن خالفك فاقول لا اسكت



ENGLISH:

Ibn Tahir Al-Maqdisee Al-Hafidh said: "I heard the Imam, Abu Ismail Abdullah Ibn Muhammad Al-Ansari in (the city) Herah say: "The sword was put to my neck five times and each time it was not said to me: "Leave your madhhab", but it was said to me: "Remain silent about those who are in opposition to you". And every time I'd reply: "I will not remain silent!"

NEDERLANDS:

Ibn Tahir Al-Maqdisee Al-Hafidh zei: Ik hoorde de Imam, Abu Ismail Abdullah Ibn Muhammad Al-Ansari in (de stad) Herah zeggen: "Vijf keer plaatsten zij het zwaard (op mijn nek), niet dat zij tegen mij zeiden: "Verlaat je madhab!", nee, zij zeiden: "Wees stil over je tegenstanders", en ik zou telkens tegen hun zeggen: "Ik zal niet stil blijven!"

["Adaab Ash-Shar'iyah", 1/207].
