Note: Reader is advised to go through and get familiar with Prophet’s predictions about affliction FITNA, before reading about Battles between Muslims.
Companion’s Comprehension & Aversion to FITNA Affliction after Prophet (s)
(30) CHAPTER. Allah's Statement; "And fight them until there is no more Fitna (disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah) and (all and every kind of) worship is for Allah (Alone). But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against Az-Zalimun (the polytheists and wrong-doers)." (V.2:193)
Bukhari Volume 6, Book 65,
Number 4513 to 4515:
Narrated Nafi':
During the affliction of Ibn
Az-Zubair, two men came to Ibn 'Umar and said, "The people are lost, and
you are the son of 'Umar, and the companion of the Prophet, so what forbids you
from coming out?" He said, "What forbids me
is that Allah has prohibited the shedding of my brother's blood."
They both said, "Didn't Allah say, 'and fight then
until there is no more affliction?" (2:193) He said "We fought until
there were no more afflictions and
the worship is for Allah (Alone) while
you want to fight until there is affliction and until the worship become for
other than Allah."
Narrated Nafi (through
another group of sub-narrators): A man came (An outsider else name should have been there) to Ibn
'Umar and said, "O Abu Abdur Rahman!
What made you perform Hajj in one year and Umra in another year and leave the
Jihad for Allah' Cause though you know how much Allah recommends it?" Ibn
'Umar replied, "O son of my brother! Islam is founded on five principles,
i.e. believe in Allah and His Apostle, the five compulsory prayers, the fasting
of the month of Ramadan, the payment of Zakat, and the Hajj to the House (of
Allah)." The man said, "O Abu Abdur Rahman! Won't you listen to why
Allah has mentioned in His Book: 'If two groups of believers fight each other,
then make peace between them, but if one of then transgresses beyond bounds
against the other, then you all fight against the one that transgresses. (49.9)
and:--"And fight them till there is no more afflictions (i.e. no more
worshiping of others along with Allah)." Ibn 'Umar said, "We did it,
during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle (s) when Islam had only a few followers.
A man would be put to trial because of his religion; he would either be killed
or tortured. But when the Muslims increased, there was no more affliction or
oppressions." The man said, "What
is your opinion about 'Uthman and 'Ali?" Ibn 'Umar said, "As for
'Uthman, it seems that Allah has forgiven him, but you people dislike that he
should be forgiven. And as for 'Ali, he is the cousin of Allah's Apostle (s) and
his son-in-law." Then he pointed with his hand and said, "That is his
house which you see." [Also see 4650]
Bukhari Volume 6, Book 65,
Number 4650:
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
That a man came to him (while two groups of
Muslims were fighting) and said; "Abu 'Abdur-Rahman! Don't you hear what
Allah has mentioned in His Book: 'and if two parties (or groups) among the believers
fall to fighting...' (V.49:9)
So what prevents you from fighting as Allah
has mentioned in His Book? “Ibn 'Umar said, "0’ son
of my brother! I would rather be blamed for not fighting because of this Ayah
than to be blamed because of another Ayah where Allah says: 'And whoever kills
a believer intentionally...' "(4:93)
Then that man said, "Allah says: 'and fight them until there is no more Fitna (disbelief
and polytheism, i.e. worshipping other besides Allah) and the religion
(worship) will be all for Allah
(Alone)... "'(8:39)
Ibn 'Umar said, "We
did this during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger when the number of Muslims
was small, and a man was put to trial because of his religion; Al-Mushrikun (pagans
etc.) would either kill or chain him; but when the Muslims increased (and Islam
spread), there was no persecution." When that man saw that Ibn 'Umar
did not agree to his proposal, he said, "What
is your opinion regarding 'Ali and 'Uthman?" Ibn 'Umar said, "What is my opinion regarding
'Ali and 'Uthman? As for 'Uthman, Allah forgave him and you disliked to forgive
him, and 'Ali is the cousin and son-in-law of Allah's Messenger," Then he pointed
out with his hand and said, "Andthat is his daughter's (house) which you
can see
Bukhari Volume 6, Book 65,
Number 4651:
Narrated Said bin Jubair:
Ibn 'Umar came to us and a
man said (to him), "What do you think about 'Qit-alal-Fitnah' (fighting
caused by afflictions)." Ibn 'Umar said (to him), "And do you
understand what an affliction is? Muhammad (s) used to fight against the pagans, and his
fighting with them was against affliction, (and his fighting was) not like you
are fighting which is carried on for the sake of ruling."
Bukhari Volume 6, Book 65,
Number 4652:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
When the Verse: -- "If
there are twenty steadfast amongst you, they will overcome two hundred."
(8.65) was revealed, then it became obligatory for the Muslims that one
(Muslim) should not flee from ten (non-Muslims). Sufyan (the sub-narrator) once
said, "Twenty (Muslims) should not flee before two hundred (non-Muslims)."
Then there was revealed: 'But now Allah has lightened your (task)....’ (8.66)
So it became obligatory that
one-hundred (Muslims) should not flee before two hundred (non-Muslims). (Once
Sufyan said extra, "The Verse: 'Urge the believers to the fight. If there
are twenty steadfast amongst you (Muslims)
...' was revealed.) Sufyan said, "Ibn Shabrama said, "I see that this order is applicable to the obligation
of enjoining good and forbidding evil."

Narrated
Sa'id bin Jubair:
'Abdullah
bin 'Umar came to us and we hoped that he would narrate to us a good Hadith.
But before we asked him, a man got up and said to him, "O Abu
'Abdur-Rahman! Narrate to us about the battles during the time of the
afflictions, as Allah says:
'And
fight them until there are no more afflictions (i.e. no more worshipping of
others besides Allah).'" (2.193)
Ibn
'Umar said (to the man), "Do you know what is meant by afflictions? Let
your mother bereave you! Muhammad (s) used to fight against the pagans; for a Muslim
was put to trial in his religion (The pagans will either kill him or chain him
as a captive). His fighting was not like you are fighting which is carried on
for the sake of ruling."
Companion’s opinions about Infighting after Prophet (s)
(5) CHAPTER. "And fight them until there is no more Fitna (disbelief and polytheism, i.e. worshipping others besides Allah) and the religion (worship) will be all for Allah (Alone) (in the whole of the world)..." (8:39)
Maududi: O Believers, fight with the disbelievers till there is no
more mischief and the way of life prescribed by Allah is established in its
entirety.31 Then if they desist from mischief, surely Allah
beholds what they do, but if they give no heed, know it that Allah is your
Protector, and He is the best of all protectors and helpers.
Muhammad Asad: And fight against them until there is no
more oppression and all worship is devoted to God alone.(Note 39) And if they desist-behold, God sees all that they do; (Note 40) (8:39-40)
Note 39: I.e., until man is free to worship God. Cf. the
identical phrase in 2:193, and the corresponding note. Both these passages
stress self-defense - in the widest sense of this word - as the only
justification of war.
Note 40: I.e., He knows their motives, and will requite
them according to their merits.

So what prevents you from fighting as Allah has mentioned in

Infighting after Prophet (s) was for worldly gains
Bukhari Volume 9, Book 92,
Number 7112:
Narrated Abu Al-Minhal:
When Ibn Ziyad and Marwan were in Sham and Ibn Az-Zubair
took over the authority in Mecca and Qurra' (the Kharijites) revolted in Basra,
I went out with my father to Abu Barza Al-Aslami till we entered upon him in
his house while he was sitting in the shade of a room built of cane. We sat
with him and my father started talking to him saying; "O Abu Barza! Don't
you see in what dilemma the people have fallen?" The first thing heard him
saying "I seek reward from Allah for myself because of being angry and
scornful at the Quraish tribe. O you Arabs! You know very well that you were in
misery and were few in number and misguided, and that Allah has brought you out
of all that with Islam and with Muhammad till He brought you to this state (of
prosperity and happiness) which you see now; and it is this worldly wealth and
pleasures which has caused mischief to appear among you. The one who is in Sham (i.e. Marwan), by Allah, is not
fighting except for the sake of worldly gain: and those who are among you, by
Allah, are not fighting except for the sake of worldly gain; and that one who
is in Mecca (i.e., Ibn Az-Zubair) by Allah, is not fighting except for the sake
of worldly gain."

Number 7113:
Narrated Abi Waih:
Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman said, 'The hypocrites of today are
worse than those of the lifetime of the Prophet, because in those days they
used to do evil deeds secretly but today they do such deeds openly.'
Bukhari Volume 9, Book 92,
Number 7114:
Narrated Abi Asha'sha:
Hudhaifa said, 'In fact, it was hypocrisy that existed in the lifetime of the
Prophet but today it is Kufr (disbelief) after belief.'

Bukhari Narrated Al-Ahnaf bin
Qais:
I went to help that man
(i.e., 'Ali), and on the way I met Abu Bakra who asked me, "Where are you
going?" I replied, "I am going to help that man." He said,
"Go back, for I heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'If two Muslims meet each
other with their swords then (both) the killer and the killed one are in the
(Hell) Fire.' I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! It is alright for the killer, but
what about the killed one?' He said, 'The killed one was eager to kill his
opponent."

Narrated Al-Ahnaf bin Qais:
While I was going to help this man ('Ali Ibn Abi Talib), Abu
Bakra met me and asked, "Where are you going?" I replied, "I am
going to help that person." He said, "Go back for I have heard
Allah's Apostle saying, 'When two Muslims fight (meet) each other with their
swords, both the murderer as well as the murdered will go to the Hell-fire.' I
said, 'O Allah's Apostle! It is all right for the murderer but what about the
murdered one?' Allah's Apostle replied, "He surely had the intention to
kill his companion."
