حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَبُعٍ، قَالَ:
خَطَبَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَقَالَ: وَالَّذِي فَلَقَ الْحَبَّةَ وَبَرَأَ النَّسَمَةَ لَتُخْضَبَنَّ هَذِهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ - يَعْنِي لِحْيَتَهُ مِنْ دَمِ رَأْسِهِ - قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: وَاللهِ لَا يَقُولُ ذَاكَ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا أَبَرْنَا عِتْرَتَهُ، فَقَالَ: أُذَكِّرُ اللهَ - أَوْ: أَنْشُدُ اللهَ - أَنْ تَقْتُلَ بِي إِلَّا قَاتِلِي، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: أَلَا تَسْتَخْلِفُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ؟ قَالَ: لَا، وَلَكِنْ أَتْرُكُكُمْ إِلَى مَا تَرَكَكُمْ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، قَالُوا: فَمَا تَقُولُ لِلهِ إِذَا لَقِيتَهُ ؟ قَالَ: أَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ تَرَكْتَنِي فِيهِمْ مَا بَدَا لَكَ، ثُمَّ تَوَفَّيْتَنِي، وَتَرَكْتُكَ فِيهِمْ، فَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَصْلَحْتَهُمْ، وَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَفْسَدْتَهُمْ

✧ Ali b. Abi Talib addressed us and said: By the One who split the grain and created the soul, this will surely be dyed from this – meaning his beard from the blood of his head. He said: A man said: By Allah, no one says that except that we will destroy his family. He said: I adjure you by Allah – or: I implore Allah – that you do not kill anyone on account of me except my killer. A man said: Will you not appoint a successor, O Commander of the Believers? He said: No, but I leave you as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ left you. They said: What will you say to Allah when you meet Him? He said: I will say: O Allah, You left me among them for as long as You willed, then You took me, and I left You among them. If You will, You set them right, and if You will, You corrupt them.
