حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ذَكْوَانَ أَبَا صَالِحٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ صُهَيْبٍ مَوْلَى الْعَبَّاسِ قَالَ:
أَرْسَلَنِي الْعَبَّاسُ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ أَدْعُوهُ، قَالَ: فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ يُغَدِّي النَّاسَ، فَدَعَوْتُهُ، فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ: أَفْلَحَ الْوَجْهُ أَبَا الْفَضْلِ، قَالَ: وَوَجْهُكَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، قَالَ: مَا زِدْتُ أَنْ أَتَانِي رَسُولُكَ وَأَنَا أُغَدِّي النَّاسَ فَغَدَّيْتُهُمْ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلْتُ، فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ: أُذَكِّرُكَ اللهَ فِي عَلِيٍّ، فَإِنَّهُ ابْنُ عَمِّكَ [وَابْنُ خَالِكَ] [١]، وَأَخُوكَ فِي دِينِكَ، وَصَاحِبُكَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَصِهْرُكَ، وَإِنَّهُ قَدْ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَقُومَ بِعَلِيٍّ وَأَصْحَابِهِ، فَأَعْفِنِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ: [أَنَا أَوَّلُ مَا أَجَبْتُكَ] [٢]: أَنْ قَدْ شَفَّعْتُكَ، إِنَّ عَلِيًّا لَوْ شَاءَ مَا كَانَ أَحَدٌ دُونَهُ، وَلَكِنَّهُ أَبَى إِلَّا رَأْيَهُ، وَبَعَثَ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ فَقَالَ لَهُ: أُذَكِّرُكَ اللهَ فِي ابْنِ عَمِّكَ وَابْنِ عَمَّتِكَ وَأَخِيكَ فِي دِينِكَ وَصَاحِبِكَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَوَلِيِّ بَيْعَتِكَ، فَقَالَ: وَاللهِ لَوْ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَخْرُجَ مِنْ دَارِي لَخَرَجْتُ، فَأَمَّا أَنْ أُدَاهِنَ: أَنْ لَا يُقَامَ كِتَابُ اللهِ، فَلَمْ أَكُنْ لِأَفْعَلَ

Al-ʿAbbās sent me to ʿUthmān to summon him. He said: I came to him and he was feeding the people, so I called him, and he came to him. He said: "May your face prosper, Abū al-Faḍl." He said: "And your face, Commander of the Believers." He said: "All that happened was that your messenger came to me while I was feeding the people, so I fed them and then came." Then al-ʿAbbās said: "I remind you of God regarding ʿAlī, for he is your cousin [and the son of your maternal aunt] [1], and your brother in your religion, and your companion with the Messenger of God ﷺ, and your relative by marriage. It has reached me that you intend to take action against ʿAlī and his companions, so excuse me from that, O Commander of the Believers." ʿUthmān said: "[The first thing I answer you with] [2] is that I have accepted your intercession. If ʿAlī had wished, no one would have been below him, but he refused anything except his own opinion." And he sent for ʿAlī and said to him: "I remind you of God regarding your cousin, the son of your paternal aunt, your brother in your religion, your companion with the Messenger of God ﷺ, and the guardian of your pledge of allegiance." He said: "By God, if he ordered me to leave my house, I would leave. But as for compromising so that the Book of God is not upheld, I would not do that."
