وروى أبو حنيفة باسناده عن عكرمة عن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهم قال: قال رسول الله: «سيد الشهداء حمزة بن عبد المطلب، ورجل قام إلى إمام جائر فأمره ونهاه، فقتله الإمام». فسمع بهذا الحديث إبراهيم الصائغ فذهب إلى الإمام فأمره ونهاه، فأمره بقتله فضربوه بالسيف فبقي الحلق غير مقطوع ثم ألقي في البئر فكان يسمع أنينه ثلاثة أيام.

Abū Ḥanīfa related through his chain, from ʿIkrima, from Ibn ʿAbbās—God be pleased with them—that the Messenger of God said: “The foremost of the martyrs is Ḥamza ibn ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib, and a man who stands before an unjust ruler, commands him to do right and forbids him to do wrong, and is killed by that ruler.” Ibrāhīm al-Ṣāʾigh heard this hadith and went to the ruler, commanding and forbidding him. The ruler ordered his killing. They struck him with a sword, but his throat was not completely severed. He was then thrown into a well, and his groaning could be heard for three days.
