أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو صَالِحٍ الْمَكِّيُّ حَدَّثَنَا فُضَيْلُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عِيَاضٍ عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ قَالَ
أَتَيْتُ الرَّبَذَةَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ فَقُلْتُ مَا أَنْزَلَكَ هَذَا؟ قَالَ كُنْتُ بِالشَّامِ فَقَرَأْتُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {وَالَّذِينَ يَكْنِزُونَ الذَّهَبَ وَالْفِضَّةَ وَلَا يُنْفِقُونَهَا} [التوبة 34] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ لَيْسَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ نَزَلَتْ فِينَا إِنَّمَا هِيَ فِي أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّهَا فِينَا وَفِي أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ إِلَى أَنْ كَانَ قَوْلٌ وَتَنَازُعٌ وَكَتَبَ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ يَشْكُونِي كَتَبَ إِلَيَّ عُثْمَانُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ أَنِ اقْدُمْ فَقَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَكَثُرَ وَرَائِي النَّاسُ كَأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَرَوْنِي قَطُّ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ فَشَكَوْتُ إِلَيْهِ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ تَنَحَّ وَكُنْ قَرِيبًا فَنَزَلْتُ هَذَا الْمَنْزِلَ وَاللهِ لَوْ أُمِّرَ عَلَيَّ حَبَشِيٌّ مَا عَصَيْتُهُ وَلَا أَرْجِعُ عَنْ قَوْلِي

✧ I came to al-Rabadhah and entered upon Abu Dharr. I said: "What brought you to this place?" He said: "I was in Syria and I recited this verse: {And those who hoard gold and silver and do not spend it} [At-Tawbah: 34] to the end of the verse. Mu'awiyah said: 'This verse was not revealed about us; it is only about the People of the Book.' I said: 'It is about us and about the People of the Book.' There was a dispute and argument until a statement was made. He wrote to 'Uthman complaining about me. 'Uthman, may Allah have mercy on him, wrote to me: 'Come forward.' So I came to Madinah, and many people gathered behind me as if they had never seen me before. I entered upon 'Uthman and complained to him about that. He said: 'Move away and stay nearby.' So I settled in this place. By Allah, if an Abyssinian were appointed over me, I would not disobey him, and I will not retract my statement."
