83 - Musa ibn Sahl al-Sawi informed us, saying: Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Asadi narrated to us, saying: Ibrahim ibn Ya'qub al-Juzajani narrated to us, from Isma'il ibn Sa'id al-Shalinji, who said: "I asked Ahmad: What is the position regarding the hadiths that have come down from the Prophet (peace be upon him), in some of which he commanded hearing and obedience during hardship and ease, while in others he said—when it was said to him that they [the rulers] withhold the fay' (spoils of war) and the 'ata' (stipends)—he said: 'Fight them.'"
