" عَنْ مُحمَّد بنِ كَعْبٍ القرَظى قَالَ: غدا عبدُ الرَّحْمنِ بْنُ سَهْل الأنصارىُّ في زمَنِ عثمانَ، وَمُعَاوِيَةُ أمِيرٌ على الشَّام فمَّرت بِهمَ رَوَايَا خَمْرٍ تْحمِل فَقَامَ إليهَا عْبُد الرحمن برُحمه فيقر كل رواية فناوَشَه غِلْمَانهُ حَتَّى بَلَغَ مُعَاوِية فَقَالَ: دَعُوْه فإِنَّهُ شَيْخٌ قَدْ ذهبَ عقلُه، فَقَالَ: كَذبْت واللهِ مَا ذَهَبَ عَقْلِى ولَكِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَانَا أنْ نُدْخِلَهُ بُطُونَنَا وأسْقِيتنَا وأَحلِفُ بِاللهِ لئِنْ أنا بَقِيتُ حتَّى أَرَى في مُعَاوِيَةَ مَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ لا أبْقُرَنَّ بطنَه أو لأَمُوتَنَّ دُونَهُ".

"On the authority of Muhammad ibn Ka'b al-Qurazi, who said: 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Sahl al-Ansari went out in the time of 'Uthman, while Mu'awiyah was governor of Syria. Carriers of wine jars passed by him, and 'Abd al-Rahman got up to them with his staff and broke every jar. His servants fought with him until the matter reached Mu'awiyah. He said: Leave him, for he is an old man whose mind has gone. He said: You lie, by Allah, my mind has not gone, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade us to put it into our bellies and give it to drink. I swear by Allah, if I live until I see in Mu'awiyah what I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I will split his belly or die before him."
