حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبَّادٌ الرَّمْلِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَتْنِي امْرَأَةٌ يُقَالُ لَهَا: فُسَيْلَةُ، قَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَمِنَ الْعَصَبِيَّةِ أَنْ يُعِينَ الرَّجُلُ قَوْمَهُ عَلَى ظُلْمٍ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ.

Fusayla said: I heard my father say that he asked, ‘Messenger of Allah, is it tribal partisanship for a man to help his people in wrongdoing?’ He replied, ‘Yes.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic asks about العصبية, tribal or group partisanship; the English witness renders it as ‘disobedience.’
قَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ،
The Arabic العصبية refers to tribal or group partisanship, whereas the English witness says disobedience.
Should this be translated as tribal partisanship, as in this version, rather than general disobedience?
