حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِلْأَشْتَرِ:
لَقَدْ كُنْتَ كَارِهًا لِيَوْمِ الدَّارِ، فَكَيْفَ رَجَعْتَ عَنْ رَأْيِكَ ؟ فَقَالَ: أَجَلْ، وَاللهِ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَكَارِهًا لِيَوْمِ الدَّارِ، وَلَكِنْ جِئْتُ بِأُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ لِأُدْخِلَهَا الدَّارَ، وَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُخْرِجَ عُثْمَانَ فِي هَوْدَجٍ، فَأَبَوْا أَنْ يَدَعُونِي وَقَالُوا: مَا لَنَا وَلَكَ يَا أَشْتَرُ، وَلَكِنِّي رَأَيْتُ طَلْحَةَ وَالزُّبَيْرَ وَالْقَوْمَ بَايَعُوا عَلِيًّا طَائِعِينَ غَيْرَ مُكْرَهِينَ، ثُمَّ نَكَثُوا عَلَيْهِ. قُلْتُ: فَابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ الْقَائِلُ: اقْتُلُونِي وَمَالِكًا ؟ قَالَ: لَا وَاللهِ، وَلَا رَفَعْتُ السَّيْفَ عَنِ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ وَأَنَا أَرَى أَنَّ فِيهِ شَيْئًا مِنَ الرُّوحِ، لِأَنِّي كُنْتُ عَلَيْهِ بِحَنَقٍ؛ لِأَنَّهُ اسْتَخَفَّ أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَتَّى أَخْرَجَهَا، فَلَمَّا لَقِيتُهُ مَا رَضِيتُ لَهُ بِقُوَّةِ سَاعِدِي حَتَّى قُمْتُ فِي الرِّكَابَيْنِ قَائِمًا فَضَرَبْتُهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، فَرَأَيْتُ أَنِّي قَدْ قَتَلْتُهُ، وَلَكِنَّ الْقَائِلَ ( اقْتُلُونِي وَمَالِكًا ): عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَتَّابِ بْنِ أَسِيدٍ، لَمَّا لَقِيتُهُ اعْتَنَقْتُهُ فَوَقَعْتُ أَنَا وَهُوَ عَنْ فَرَسَيْنَا، فَجَعَلَ يُنَادِي: اقْتُلُونِي وَمَالِكًا، وَالنَّاسُ يَمُرُّونَ لَا يَدْرُونَ مَنْ يَعْنِي، وَلَوْ يَقُلِ: الْأَشْتَرُ، لَقُتِلْتُ

"You were averse to the day of the House, so how did you change your opinion?" He said: "Yes, by God, I was indeed averse to the day of the House. But I came with Umm Ḥabībah bint Abī Sufyān to bring her into the House, and I wanted to bring ʿUthmān out in a howdah. They refused to let me and said: 'What do we have to do with you, O Ashtar?' But I saw Ṭalḥah, al-Zubayr and the people pledge allegiance to ʿAlī willingly, not under compulsion, and then they broke their pledge to him." I said: "And was it Ibn al-Zubayr who said: 'Kill me and Mālik'?" He said: "No, by God. I did not lift the sword from Ibn al-Zubayr while I thought there was any breath of life in him, because I was filled with rage against him, for he had slighted the Mother of the Believers until he brought her out. When I met him, I was not satisfied with the strength of my arm alone until I stood upright in the two stirrups and struck him on his head, and I thought I had killed him. But the one who said 'Kill me and Mālik' was ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAttāb b. Asīd. When I met him I grappled with him, and he and I fell from our horses. He began to call out: 'Kill me and Mālik,' while the people passed by, not knowing whom he meant. Had he said 'al-Ashtar,' I would have been killed."
