حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَبُعٍ قَالَ خَطَبَنَا عَلِيٌّ فَقَالَ
خَطَبَنَا عَلِيٌّ، فَقَالَ: وَالَّذِي فَلَقَ الْحَبَّةَ، وَبَرَأَ النَّسَمَةَ لَتُخْضَبَنَّ هَذِهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّاسُ: فَأَعْلِمْنَا مَنْ هُوَ ؟ وَاللهِ لَنُبِيرَنَّهُ - أَوْ لَنُبِيرَنَّ عِتْرَتَهُ - قَالَ: أَنْشُدُكُمْ بِاللهِ أَنْ يُقْتَلَ غَيْرُ قَاتِلِي، قَالُوا: إِنْ كُنْتَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ ذَلِكَ اسْتَخْلِفْ إِذًا، قَالَ: لَا، وَلَكِنْ أَكِلُكُمْ إِلَى مَا وَكَلَكُمْ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ

✧ Ali addressed us and said: By the One who split the grain and created the soul, this will surely be dyed from this. He said: The people said: Then inform us who he is? By Allah, we will surely destroy him — or his family. He said: I adjure you by Allah that none other than my killer be killed. They said: If you know that, then appoint a successor. He said: No, but I leave you to what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ left you to.
