حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْخٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو عَمْرٍو عَنْ ابْنَةٍ لِأُهْبَانَ بْنِ صَيْفِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهَا وَكَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ
أَنَّ عَلِيًّا لَمَّا قَدِمَ الْبَصْرَةَ بَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: مَا يَمْنَعُكَ أَنْ تَتْبَعَنِي ؟ فَقَالَ: أَوْصَانِي خَلِيلِي وَابْنُ عَمِّكَ فَقَالَ: إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ فُرْقَةٌ وَاخْتِلَافٌ، فَاكْسِرْ سَيْفَكَ وَاتَّخِذْ سَيْفًا مِنْ خَشَبٍ، وَاقْعُدْ فِي بَيْتِكَ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَكَ يَدٌ خَاطِئَةٌ أَوْ مَنِيَّةٌ قَاضِيَةٌ. فَفَعَلْتُ مَا أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ يَا عَلِيُّ أَنْ لَا تَكُونَ تِلْكَ الْيَدَ الْخَاطِئَةَ فَافْعَلْ.

✧ When Ali came to Basra, he sent for him and said, “What prevents you from following me?” He said, “My close friend and your cousin advised me, saying, ‘There will be division and conflict, so break your sword and take a sword of wood, and stay in your house until an erring hand comes to you or a decisive death.’ So I did what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded me. If you can, O Ali, avoid being that erring hand, then do so.”
