قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنِ الْمِنْهَالِ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، قَالَ:

كُنْتُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ يَخْطُبُ عَلَى مِنْبَرٍ مِنَ الْآجُرِّ، وَخَلْفِي صَعْصَعَةُ بْنُ صُوحَانَ، فَكَلَّمَهُ رَجُلٌ بِشَيْءٍ خَفِيٍّ عَلَيْنَا، فَعَرَفْنَا الْغَضَبَ فِي وَجْهِهِ، فَسَكَتَ، فَجَاءَ الْأَشْعَثُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، فَجَعَلَ يَتَخَطَّى رِقَابَ النَّاسِ حَتَّى كَانَ قَرِيبًا، فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، غَلَبَتْنَا هَذِهِ الْحَمْرَاءُ عَلَى وَجْهِكَ، فَضَرَبَ صَعْصَعَةُ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيَّ بِيَدِهِ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّا لِلهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ، لَيُبْدِيَنَّ الْيَوْمَ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْعَرَبِ أَمْرًا كَانَ يَكْتُمُهُ، قَالَ: فَغَضِبَ غَضَبًا، وَقَالَ: مَنْ يَعْذِرُنِي مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ الضَّيَاطِرَةِ، يَتَمَرَّغُ أَحَدُهُمْ عَلَى حَشَايَاهُ، وَيَهْجُرُ أَقْوَامًا تَذْكُرُ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَيَأْمُرُنِي أَنْ أَطْرُدَهُمْ وَأَكُونَ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ، وَالَّذِي فَلَقَ الْحَبَّةَ وَبَرَأَ النَّسَمَةَ لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ يَقُولُ: وَاللهِ لَيَضْرِبُنَّكُمْ عَلَى الدِّينِ عَوْدًا كَمَا ضَرَبْتُمُوهُمْ عَلَيْهِ بَدْءًا.

✧ I was in the mosque on Friday while 'Ali b. Abi Talib was giving a sermon from a brick minbar. Behind me was Sa'sa'a b. Suhan. A man spoke to him about something that was hidden from us, and we recognized anger in his face, so he fell silent. Then al-Ash'ath b. Qays came, stepping over people's necks until he was close. He said: 'O Commander of the Believers, these red-skinned ones have overcome us in your presence.' Sa'sa'a struck me between my shoulders with his hand and said: 'To God we belong and to Him we return. Today he will reveal a matter concerning the Arabs that he was concealing.' He said: 'He became very angry and said: "Who will excuse me from these fools? One of them wallows in his cushions and abandons people who remember God, Mighty and Majestic. He orders me to expel them, and that I should be among the wrongdoers. By Him who split the grain and created the soul, I heard Muhammad ﷺ say: 'By God, they will strike you back regarding the religion as you struck them regarding it in the beginning.'"
