حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنِي وَثَّابٌ - وَكَانَ مِمَّنْ أَدْرَكَهُ عِتْقُ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عُمَرَ، فَكَانَ يَكُونُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ: فَرَأَيْتُ فِي حَلْقِهِ طَعْنَتَيْنِ كَأَنَّهُمَا كَيَّتَانِ طُعِنَهُمَا يَوْمَ الدَّارِ دَارِ عُثْمَانَ - قَالَ: بَعَثَنِي أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عُثْمَانُ فَقَالَ:
ادْعُ لِيَ الْأَشْتَرَ، فَجَاءَ - قَالَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ: أَظُنُّهُ قَالَ: فَطَرَحْتُ لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وِسَادَةٌ، وَلَهُ وِسَادَةٌ - فَقَالَ: يَا أَشْتَرُ ! مَا يُرِيدُ النَّاسُ مِنِّي ؟ قَالَ: ثَلَاثًا لَيْسَ مِنْ إِحْدَاهُنَّ بُدٌّ، يُخَيِّرُونَكَ: [بَيْنَ] [٤]أَنْ تَخْلَعَ لَهُمْ أَمْرَهُمْ، فَتَقُولُ: هَذَا أَمْرُكُمْ، فَاخْتَارُوا لَهُ مَنْ شِئْتُمْ، وَبَيْنَ أَنْ تُقِصَّ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ، فَإِنْ أَبَيْتَ هَاتَيْنِ فَإِنَّ الْقَوْمَ قَاتِلُوكَ ! قَالَ: مَا مِنْ إِحْدَاهُنَّ بُدٌّ ؟ قَالَ: مَا مِنْ إِحْدَاهُنَّ بُدٌّ. فَقَالَ: أَمَّا أَنْ أَخْلَعَ لَهُمْ أَمْرَهُمْ: فَمَا كُنْتُ لِأَخْلَعَ سِرْبَالًا سَرْبَلَنِيهُ اللهُ أَبَدًا. - قَالَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ: وَقَالَ غَيْرُ الْحَسَنِ: لَأَنْ أُقَدَّمَ فَتُضْرَبَ عُنُقِي أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ - - مِنْ أَنْ [٥]أَخْلَعَ أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ بَعْضَهَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ، قَالَ [٦]ابْنُ عَوْنٍ: وَهَذِهِ أَشْبَهُ بِكَلَامِهِ. وَأَمَّا [٧]أَنْ أُقِصَّ لَهُمْ مِنْ نَفْسِي؛ فَوَاللهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ صَاحِبَيَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ كَانَا [٨]يُقِصَّانِ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمَا، وَمَا يَقُومُ بَدَنِي بِالْقِصَاصِ. وَأَمَّا أَنْ يَقْتُلُونِي، فَوَاللهِ لَئِنْ قَتَلُونِي لَا يَتَحَابُّونَ بَعْدِي أَبَدًا، وَلَا يُقَاتِلُونَ بَعْدِي جَمِيعًا عَدُوًّا أَبَدًا. فَقَامَ الْأَشْتَرُ فَانْطَلَقَ، فَمَكَثْنَا فَقُلْنَا: لَعَلَّ النَّاسَ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ رُوَيْجِلٌ كَأَنَّهُ ذِئْبٌ، فَاطَّلَعَ مِنَ الْبَابِ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فِي ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى عُثْمَانَ فَأَخَذَ بِلِحْيَتِهِ فَقَالَ بِهَا، حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ وَقْعَ أَضْرَاسِهِ وَقَالَ: مَا أَغْنَى عَنْكَ مُعَاوِيَةُ ! مَا أَغْنَى عَنْكَ ابْنُ عَامِرٍ ! مَا أَغْنَتْ عَنْكَ كُتُبُكَ ! فَقَالَ: أَرْسِلْ لِي لِحْيَتِي يَابْنَ [٩]أَخِي، أَرْسِلْ لِي لِحْيَتِي [يَابْنَ أَخِي] [١٠]. قَالَ: [فَرَأَيْتُهُ] [١١]اسْتَعْدَى رَجُلًا مِنَ الْقَوْمِ يُعِينُهُ [١٢]، فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ بِمِشْقَصٍ حَتَّى وَجَأَ بِهِ فِي رَأْسِهِ فَأُثْبِتَ [١٣]، [قَالَ: ثُمَّ مَهْ؟] [١٤]قَالَ: ثُمَّ دَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ - وَاللهِ - حَتَّى قَتَلُوهُ

Chain of narrators
machine translationIbn ʿUlayyah narrated to us, from Ibn ʿAwn, from al-Ḥasan, who said: Wathhāb informed me - and he was one of those who had been freed by the Commander of the Believers ʿUmar, and he used to be in the presence of ʿUthmān. He said: I saw in his throat two stab wounds, like two cautery marks, which he was stabbed with on the day of the House, the house of ʿUthmān. He said: The Commander of the Believers ʿUthmān sent me and said:

"Call al-Ashtar for me." So he came - Ibn ʿAwn said: I think he said: A cushion was laid down for the Commander of the Believers, and he had a cushion - and he said: "O Ashtar! What do the people want from me?" He said: "Three things, of which there is no escape from one of them. They give you the choice: [between] that you relinquish their affair to them and say: This is your affair, so choose for it whomever you wish; and between that you submit yourself to retaliation; and if you refuse these two, then the people will kill you!" He said: "Is there no escape from one of them?" He said: "There is no escape from one of them." So he said: "As for relinquishing their affair to them: I would never take off a garment that Allah has clothed me in, ever." - Ibn ʿAwn said: And someone other than al-Ḥasan said: "To be brought forward and have my neck struck is dearer to me than to cast off the nation of Muḥammad, some against others." Ibn ʿAwn said: "And this is more like his speech. As for submitting myself to retaliation for them: by Allah, I know that my two companions before me used to submit themselves to retaliation, and my body cannot bear retaliation. As for their killing me: by Allah, if they kill me, they will never love one another after me, and they will never fight an enemy together after me." Then al-Ashtar got up and left. We waited and said: Perhaps the people... Then a little man came, as if he were a wolf, and he peered in from the door and then went back. Then Muḥammad b. Abī Bakr came with thirteen men until he reached ʿUthmān, and seized his beard and shook it, until I heard the sound of his molars, and he said: "Muʿāwiyah has not availed you! Ibn ʿĀmir has not availed you! Your letters have not availed you!" He said: "Let go of my beard for me, O son of my brother, let go of my beard for me, [O son of my brother]." He said: [I saw him] call on a man of the group to help him, and he stood up to him with a broad arrowhead until he stabbed it into his head, and it stuck. [He said: And then what?] He said: Then, by Allah, they entered upon him until they killed him.
