"Banu 'Umayyah was mentioned..."

593. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Hisham, from Anbasat Bin Bajaad Al-Abid, from Jabir, who has said: ‘We were in the presence Abu Ja’far عليه الصلاة والسلام, and the authority of the Clan of Umayya was mentioned, so Abu Ja’far عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘No one comes out (rebels) against Hisham except that he gets killed’. ‘And he عليه الصلاة والسلام also mentioned that his government would last for twenty years’. He (the narrator) said, ‘That grieved us’. So he عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘What is the matter with you? Whenever Allah عز وجل Mighty and Majestic Intends to Destroy the authority of a people, He عز وجل Commands the Angel to quicken the pace of the orbit in accordance to what He عز وجل Intends to’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So we said to Zayd, ‘This is the discussion we had’. So he said, ‘I witnessed Hisham, and the Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم was insulted in his presence, so he neither denied that, nor did he change it. By Allah عز وجل! Even if there is no one except for myself and my son, I would come out (in rebellion) against him’.
