"عَنْ الحارث قَالَ: لَمَّا رَجَعَ عَلِىٌّ مَنْ صِفينَ عَلِمَ أَنَّهُ لَا يَمْلِكُ أَبدًا فَتَكَلَّمَ بَأشيَاءَ كَانَ لَا يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَا وَحَدَّثَ بِأَحَادِيثَ كَانَ لَا يَتَحَّدَثُ بِهَا فَقَالَ فِيمَا يَقُولُ: أَيُّها النَّاسُ! لَا تَكْرَهُوا إِمَارَة مُعَاوِيَةَ، وَالله لَوْ قَدْ فَقَدْتُمُوهُ لَرَأَيْتُمْ الرُّؤُسَ تَنْدُرُ عَنْ كَوَاهِلِهَا كَالْحَنْظَلِ".

"On the authority of al-Harith, who said: When 'Ali returned from Siffin, he knew that he would never rule again. So he spoke about things he had never spoken about, and related hadiths he had never related. Among what he said was: "O people! Do not dislike the leadership of Mu'awiyah, for by Allah, if you lost him, you would see the heads rolling off their necks like colocynth."
