حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ: نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمِنْهَالِ قَالَ: نَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ قَالَ: نَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، مُؤَذِّنُ مَسْجِدِ شَرَادَانَ، عَنْ عُدَيْسَةَ بِنْتِ أُهْبَانَ، قَالَتْ:
لَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلِيٌّ الْبَصْرَةَ جَاءَ إِلَى الْمَنْزِلِ، فَقَالَ: هَاهُنَا أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ ؟ فَقُلْنَا: نَعَمْ، فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ: أَلَا تُعِينُنَا عَلَى هَذَا الْأَمْرِ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، يَا جَارِيَةُ، ائْتِنِي بِذَاكَ السَّيْفِ، فَجَاءَتْ بِسَيْفِهِ، فَإِذَا سَيْفٌ مِنْ خَشَبٍ، فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ: إِنَّ ابْنَ عَمِّكَ، يَعْنِي: النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ إِذَا كَانَتْ فِتْنَةٌ بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَنْ أَتَّخِذَ سَيْفًا مِنْ خَشَبٍ، فَوَلَّى عَلِيٌّ غَضْبَانَ، وَقَالَ: لَيْسَ لَنَا فِيكَ حَاجَةٌ، وَلَا فِي سَيْفِكَ،

✧ When Ali came to Basra, he came to the house and said: 'Is Abu Muslim here?' We said: 'Yes.' He came out to him, and Ali said to him: 'Will you not help us in this matter?' He said: 'Yes. O slave girl, bring me that sword.' She brought his sword, and it was a sword of wood. Abu Muslim said to him: 'Your cousin, meaning the Prophet ﷺ, enjoined me that when there is a fitnah among the Muslims, I should take a sword of wood.' Ali turned away angrily and said: 'We have no need of you or your sword.'
