" عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ: لَمَّا وَلِىَ الزُّبَيْرُ يَوْمَ الْجَمَلِ بَلَغَ عَلِيّا فَقَالَ: لَوْ كَانَ ابْنُ صَفِيَّةَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ عَلَى الْحَقِّ مَا وَلِىَ، وَذَلِكَ أَن النَّبِىَّ ﷺ لَقِيَهُمَا فِى سَقِيفَةِ بَنِى سَاعِدَةَ فَقَالَ: أَتُحبُّهُ يَا زُبَيْرُ؟ قَالَ: وَمَا يَمْنَعُنِى؟ قَالَ: فَكَيْفَ بِكَ إِذا قَاتَلتَهُ وَأَنْتَ ظَالِمٌ لَهُ؟ قَالَ: فَيَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا وَلِىَ لِذَلِكَ ".

"From Qatadah, who said: When al-Zubayr turned away on the Day of the Camel, the news reached Ali, and he said: If the son of Safiyyah knew that he was upon the truth, he would not have turned away. That is because the Prophet ﷺ met them both at the Saqifah of Banu Sa'idah and said: Do you love him, O Zubayr? He said: What prevents me? He said: How will you be when you fight him while you are wronging him? He said: They think that he only turned away for that reason."
