قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ يُسَيْرِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ:
إِنَّ أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ ؓ خَرَجَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ حِينَ قُتِلَ عُثْمَانُ وَأَنَا مَحْمُومٌ، فَرَكِبْتُ فَلَحِقْتُهُ بِالسَّالِحِينَ، فَإِذَا هُوَ فِي بُسْتَانٍ، فَدَخَلْتُ فِي الْبُسْتَانِ، فَإِذَا نَفَرٌ جُلُوسٌ فِي أَقْصَى الْبُسْتَانِ، قَدْ تَوَضَّأَ وَالْمَاءُ يَسِيلُ عَلَى لِحْيَتِهِ، قَالَ: فَتَلَقَّيْتُهُ، قَالَ: فَحَمِدْتُ اللهَ تَعَالَى وَأَثْنَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قُلْتُ لَهُ: إِنَّهُ كَانَ لَكَ صَاحِبَانِ إِلَيْهِمَا الْمَفْزَعُ؛ حُذَيْفَةُ وَأَبُو مُوسَى، وَأَنْشُدُكَ اللهَ تَعَالَى وَأَنْشُدُكَ بِالْإِسْلَامِ، إِنْ كُنْتَ سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي هَذِهِ الْفِتْنَةِ شَيْئًا إِلَّا حَدَّثْتَنِي بِهِ، وَإِلَّا اجْتَهَدْتَ رَأْيَكَ، فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: عَلَيْكَ بِعِظَمِ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيَجْمَعَ أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ عَلَى ضَلَالَةٍ، وَاصْبِرْ حَتَّى يَسْتَرِيحَ بَرٌّ أَوْ يُسْتَرَاحَ مِنْ فَاجِرٍ

✧ Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari ؓ went out to Madinah when Uthman was killed, while I was feverish. So I mounted and caught up with him at al-Salihin, and he was in a garden. I entered the garden and found a group sitting at the far end of it. He had performed ablution and water was flowing on his beard. He said: I met him and praised Allah Almighty and extolled Him, then I said to him: You had two companions to whom people turned for refuge: Hudhayfah and Abu Musa. I adjure you by Allah Almighty and by Islam: if you heard anything from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about this trial, tell it to me; otherwise, exercise your own judgment. He praised Allah and extolled Him, then said: 'Keep to the main body of the community of Muhammad ﷺ, for Allah, Mighty and Majestic, will not gather the community of Muhammad ﷺ upon misguidance. Be patient until a righteous person finds rest or relief is found from a wicked person.'
