Hadith 11851

وَعَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَوَقَعَ فِي عَلِيٍّ وَفِي عَمَّارٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا فَقَالَتْ أَمَّا عَلِيٌّ فَلَسْتُ قَائِلَةً لَكَ فِيهِ شَيْئًا وَأَمَّا عَمَّارٌ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ”لَا يُخَيَّرُ بَيْنَ أَمْرَيْنِ إِلَّا اخْتَارَ أَرْشَدَهُمَا“
It is narrated from Ata bin Yasar that a man came to the service of Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) and began to speak ill about Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyida (may Allah be pleased with her) said: As for Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), I will not say anything to you about him, but regarding Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him), I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whenever Ammar is given the choice between two matters, he chooses the better and more rightly guided one.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … When two positions are presented before Sayyiduna Ammar radi Allahu anhu, he will choose the correct and more rightly guided position. After Sayyiduna Uthman radi Allahu anhu, when the issue arose among the Muslims regarding joining one of the two groups, Sayyiduna Ammar radi Allahu anhu, in accordance with the statement of the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, chose the correct position and joined with Sayyiduna Ali radi Allahu anhu.
