حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَهْدَمِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ الْغِفَارِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ قَالَ لِي أُهْبَانُ بْنُ صَيْفِيٍّ قَالَ
لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا أُهْبَانُ أَمَا إِنَّكَ إِنْ بَقِيتَ بَعْدِي فَسَتَرَى فِي أَصْحَابِي اخْتِلَافًا فَإِنْ بَقِيتَ إِلَى ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ فَاجْعَلْ سَيْفَكَ مِنْ عَرَاجِينَ» قَالَ فَجَعَلْتُ سَيْفِي مِنْ عَرَاجِينَ فَأَتَانِي عَلِيٌّ ؓ فَأَخَذَ بِعِضَادَتَيِ الْبَابِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا أُهْبَانُ أَلَا تَخْرُجُ؟ فَقُلْتُ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَوْ أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَوْ أَوْصَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَوْ تَقَدَّمَ إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ شَكَّ ابْنُ زَهْدَمٍ فَقَالَ «يَا أُهْبَانُ أَمَا إِنَّكَ إِنْ بَقِيتَ بَعْدِي فَسَتَرَى فِي أَصْحَابِي اخْتِلَافًا فَإِنْ بَقِيتَ إِلَى ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ فَاجْعَلْ سَيْفَكَ مِنْ عَرَاجِينَ» فَأَخْرَجْتُ إِلَيْهِ سَيْفِي فَوَلَّى عَلِيٌّ ؓ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, 'O Uhban, if you remain after me, you will see differences among my companions. If you live to that day, make your sword from palm branches.' He said: So I made my sword from palm branches. Then Ali ؓ came to me, grasped the two side-posts of the door, then gave the greeting of peace and said, 'O Uhban, will you not come out?' I said, 'By my father and mother, O Abu al-Hasan, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me' or 'commanded me' or 'enjoined me' or 'instructed me' – Ibn Zahdam was uncertain – and he said: 'O Uhban, if you remain after me, you will see differences among my companions. If you live to that day, make your sword from palm branches.' So I brought out my sword to him, and Ali ؓ turned away.
