حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ ثنا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ فُرَاتٍ الْقَزَّازِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ
أَرَادَ عَلِيٌّ أَنْ يَسِيرَ إِلَى الشَّامِ إِلَى صِفِّينَ وَاجْتَمَعَتِ النَّخَعِ حَتَّى دَخَلُوا عَلَى الْأَشْتَرِ بَيْتَهُ فَقَالَ «هَلْ فِي الْبَيْتِ إِلَّا نَخَعِيٌّ؟» قَالُوا لَا قَالَ «إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ عَمَدَتْ إِلَى خَيْرِ أَهْلِهَا فَقَتَلُوهُ يَعْنِي عُثْمَانَ وَإِنَّا قَاتَلْنَا أَهْلَ الْبَصْرَةِ بِبَيْعَةٍ تَأَوَّلْنَا عَنْهُ وَإِنَّكُمْ تَسِيرُونَ إِلَى قَوْمٍ لَيْسَ لَنَا عَلَيْهِمْ بَيْعَةٌ فَلْيَنْظُرْ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ أَيْنَ يَضَعُ سَيْفَهُ»

✧ Ali wanted to march to Syria to Siffin, and the Nakha' gathered until they entered upon al-Ashtar in his house. He said: "Is there in the house anyone but a Nakha'i?" They said: No. He said: "This ummah deliberately went to the best of its people and killed him, meaning Uthman. We fought the people of Basra on the basis of a pledge about which we interpreted, and you are marching to a people over whom we have no pledge. Let every man consider where he places his sword."
