حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنِي سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ حَدَّثَنِي قَبِيصَةُ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ عَاصِمٍعَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ: كَيْفَ بَايَعْتُمْ عُثْمَانَ، وَتَرَكْتُمْ عَلِيًّا ؟ قَالَ: مَا ذَنْبِي قَدْ بَدَأْتُ بِعَلِيٍّ فَقُلْتُ: أُبَايِعُكَ عَلَى كِتَابِ اللهِ وَسُنَّةِ رَسُولِهِ، وَسِيرَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَعُمَرَ ؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ: فِيمَا اسْتَطَعْتُ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ عَرَضْتُهَا عَلَى عُثْمَانَ فَقَبِلَهَا.

✧ I said to Abd al-Rahman b. Awf: 'How did you pledge allegiance to Uthman and leave Ali?' He said: 'What is my fault? I began with Ali and said: "I pledge allegiance to you on the Book of Allah, the Sunnah of His Messenger, and the conduct of Abu Bakr and Umar." He said: "To the extent I am able." Then I presented it to Uthman, and he accepted it.'
