أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ يُسَيْرِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ:
لَمَّا قُتِلَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ لَقِيتُ أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ ؓ فِي بَيْتِ دِهْقَانٍ بِالسَّالِحِينَ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: حَدِّثْنِي بِمَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَا تَكْتُمْنِي، فَقَالَ: إِنَّا لَا نَكْتُمُ شَيْئًا أَيُّهَا الْفَتَى، فَعَلَيْكَ بِالْجَمَاعَةِ، وَإِيَّاكَ وَالْفُرْقَةَ فَإِنَّهَا الْفِتْنَةُ وَالضَّلَالَةُ، وَإِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيَجْمَعَ أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ عَلَى ضَلَالَةٍ

✧ When Ali ؓ was killed, I met Abu Mas'ud ؓ in the house of a landowner at al-Salihin and said to him, 'Tell me what you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and do not conceal it from me.' He said, 'We do not conceal anything, young man. You must keep to the community, and beware of division, for it is tribulation and error. Verily Allah, Exalted is He, would not gather the community of Muhammad ﷺ upon error.'
