حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي دَارِمٍ الْحَافِظُ بِالْكُوفَةِ ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُوسَى بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ التَّمِيمِيُّ ثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ النَّهْدِيُّ ثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمَخْرَمِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْمَلِيحِ عَنْ مَيْمُونِ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ
«كَفَفْتُ يَدِي فَلَمْ أَقْدَمٍ، وَالْمُقَاتِلُ عَلَى الْحَقِّ أَفْضَلُ».

Notes
✧ Al-Hakim, may Allah ﷻ have mercy on him, said: The explanation and clarification of this hadith is in what Abu narrated to us, saying: I heard Abdullah ibn Umar say, “I regret nothing except that I did not fight alongside Ali against the rebellious faction.”
قَالَ الْحَاكِمُ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى شَرْحُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ وَبَيَانُهُ فِيمَا حَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ «مَا آسَى عَلَى شَيْءٍ إِلَّا أَنِّي لَمْ أُقَاتِلْ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ الْفِئَةَ الْبَاغِيَةَ»
