وَعَنْ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عِرَارٍ قَالَ:
سُئِلَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ وَعُثْمَانَ، فَقَالَ: " أَمَّا عَلِيٌّ فَلَا تَسْأَلُوا عَنْهُ، انْظُرُوا إِلَى مَنْزِلَتِهِ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ، فَإِنَّهُ سَدَّ أَبْوَابَنَا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، وَأَقَرَّ بَابَهُ، وَأَمَّا عُثْمَانُ فَإِنَّهُ أَذْنَبَ يَوْمَ الْتَقَى الْجَمْعَانِ ذَنْبًا عَظِيمًا، فَعَفَا اللهُ عَنْهُ، وَأَذْنَبَ فِيكُمْ ذَنْبًا دُونَ ذَلِكَ فَقَتَلْتُمُوهُ "

✧ Ibn ʿUmar was asked about ʿAli and ʿUthman, and he said: 'As for ʿAli, do not ask about him. Look at his standing with the Messenger of God ﷺ: he closed our doors in the mosque and kept his door open. As for ʿUthman, he committed a great sin on the day the two armies met, and God pardoned him. And he committed a sin against you lesser than that, and you killed him.'
