"عن عدى بن سهيل قال: لما استمدَّ أهلُ الشام عمر على أهل فلسطين استخلف عليا، وخرج مُمِدًا لهم، فقال له على: أين تخرج بنفسك؟ إنك تريد عدوًا كِلِبًا، فقال: إنى أبادرُ بجهاد العدو موتَ العباس، إنكم لو قد فقدتم العباس لانتقض بكم الشَّرُّ كَمَا ينتقضُ الحبلُ، فمات العباس لست سنين خلت من إمارة عثمان، فانتقض واللَّه بالناس الشر".

"On the authority of 'Adi ibn Suhayl, who said: When the people of al-Sham asked 'Umar for reinforcements against the people of Palestine, he appointed 'Ali as his deputy and set out to reinforce them. 'Ali said to him: 'Where are you going yourself? You are heading toward a fierce enemy.' He said: 'I want to hasten to fight the enemy before the death of al-'Abbas. If you lose al-'Abbas, evil will break out among you as a rope breaks.' Al-'Abbas died six years into 'Uthman's rule, and by Allah, evil broke out among the people."
