وَأَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ السُّكَّرِيُّ بِبَغْدَادَ، أَنْبَأَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الرَّمَادِيُّ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَنْبَأَ مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ يَعْنِي: ابْنَ الْخِيَارِ
أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ ؓ وَهُوَ مَحْصُورٌ وَعَلِيٌّ ؓ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي أُحْرَجُ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ مَعَ هَؤُلَاءِ وَأَنْتَ الْإِمَامُ قَالَ: فَقَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ: إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ أَحْسَنُ مَا عَمِلَ النَّاسُ. فَإِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ يُحْسِنُونَ فَأَحْسِنْ مَعَهُمْ، وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ يُسِيئُونَ فَاجْتَنِبْ مُسِيئَهُمْ

That he entered upon ʿUthmān (may God be pleased with him) while he was under siege, and ʿAlī (may God be pleased with him) was leading the people in prayer. He said: "I feel uneasy about praying with these people while you are the imām." He said: ʿUthmān said to him: "Prayer is the best of what people do. So when you see them doing good, do good with them, and when you see them doing wrong, avoid their wrongdoing."

رواه الزهري واختلف عنه فرواه الأوزاعي عن الزهري وتابعه النعمان بن راشد والزبيدي وأبو أيوب الإفريقي فقالوا عن الزهري عن حميد بن عبد الرحمن عن عبيد الله بن عدي وخالفهم شعيب بن أبي حمزة وإسحاق بن راشد وعبيد الله بن أبي زياد فرووه عن الزهري عن عروة عن عبيد الله بن عدي وكذلك قال عبد الواحد بن زياد وغندر عن معمر وقال محمد بن ثور عن معمر عن الزهري عن عبيد الله بن عدي لم يذكر بينهما أحدا وأرسله حماد بن زيد عن معمر عن الزهري وتابعه جعفر بن برقان عن الزهري وحديث حميد بن عبد الرحمن هو المحفوظ ولا يدفع حديث عروة أن يكون الزهري حفظ عنهما جميعا ورواه سعد بن إبراهيم بن عبد الرحمن بن عوف عن أبيه عن عبيد الله بن عدي حدث به محمد بن إسحاق عنه
machine translationAl-Zuhrī narrated it, and there is disagreement about him. Al-Awzāʿī narrated it from al-Zuhrī, and he was followed by al-Nuʿmān b. Rāshid, al-Zubaydī and Abū Ayyūb al-Ifrīqī, who said: from al-Zuhrī, from Ḥumayd b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, from ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿAdī. But Shuʿayb b. Abī Ḥamzah, Isḥāq b. Rāshid and ʿUbaydullāh b. Abī Ziyād differed from them, and narrated it from al-Zuhrī, from ʿUrwah, from ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿAdī. Likewise said ʿAbd al-Wāḥid b. Ziyād and Ghundar, from Maʿmar. Muḥammad b. Thawr said, from Maʿmar, from al-Zuhrī, from ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿAdī, without mentioning anyone between them. Ḥammād b. Zayd transmitted it as a mursal report from Maʿmar, from al-Zuhrī, and he was followed by Jaʿfar b. Burqān, from al-Zuhrī. The ḥadīth of Ḥumayd b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān is the preserved one (maḥfūẓ), and it does not rule out the ḥadīth of ʿUrwah, as al-Zuhrī may have memorized it from both of them. Saʿd b. Ibrāhīm b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAwf also narrated it from his father, from ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿAdī; Muḥammad b. Isḥāq narrated it from him.
