حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْمَنْصُورِ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الرِّيَاحِيُّ ثنا هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْخَزَّازُ ثنا قُرَّةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ عَبَّادٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا يَوْمَ الْجَمَلِ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَبْرَأُ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ دَمِ عُثْمَانَ وَلَقَدْ طَاشَ عَقْلِي يَوْمَ قُتِلَ عُثْمَانُ وَأَنْكَرَتْ نَفْسِي وجَاءُونِي لِلْبَيْعَةِ فَقُلْتُ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَسْتَحْيِي مِنَ اللَّهِ أَنْ أُبَايِعَ قَوْمًا قَتَلُوا رَجُلًا قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَلَا أَسْتَحْيِي مِمَّنْ تَسْتَحْيِي مِنْهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ» وَإِنِّي لَأَسْتَحْيِي مِنَ اللَّهِ أَنْ أُبَايِعَ وَعُثْمَانُ قَتِيلٌ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ لَمْ يُدْفَنْ بَعْدُ فَانْصَرَفُوا فَلَمَّا دُفِنَ رَجَعَ النَّاسُ فَسَأَلُونِي الْبَيْعَةَ فَقُلْتُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي مُشْفِقٌ مِمَّا أَقْدَمُ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ جَاءَتْ عَزِيمَةٌ فَبَايَعْتُ فَلَقَدْ قَالُوا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَكَأَنَّمَا صُدِعَ قَلْبِي وَقُلْتُ اللَّهُمَّ خُذْ مِنِّي لِعُثْمَانَ حَتَّى تَرْضَى

✧ I heard 'Ali on the Day of the Camel saying: 'O Allah, I disavow to You the blood of 'Uthman. My mind was overwhelmed the day 'Uthman was killed, and my soul rejected it. They came to me for the pledge of allegiance, so I said: By Allah, I would be ashamed before Allah to pledge allegiance to a people who killed a man about whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Should I not feel shy before one of whom the angels feel shy?" And I would be ashamed before Allah to pledge allegiance while 'Uthman lies slain on the ground, not yet buried.' So they went away. When he was buried, the people returned and asked me for the pledge, so I said: 'O Allah, I am apprehensive about what I am undertaking.' Then resolve came, and I pledged allegiance. When they said, 'O Amir al-Mu'minin,' it was as if my heart was split, and I said: 'O Allah, take from me for 'Uthman until You are pleased.'"
