عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ الطَّائِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي ثَوْرٍ قَالَ بَعَثَ عُثْمَانُ يَوْمَ الْجَرَعَةِ بِسَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ قَالَ فَخَرَجُوا إِلَيْهِ فَرَدُّوهُ قَالَ فَكُنْتُ قَاعِدًا مَعَ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ وَحُذَيْفَةَ فَقَالَ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ مَا كُنْتُ أَرَى أَنْ يَرْجِعَ لَمْ يُهْرِقْ فِيهِ دَمًا قَالَ فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ وَلَكِنْ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ لَتَرْجِعَنَّ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهَا لَمْ يُهْرِقْ فِيهَا مَحْجَمَةَ دَمٍ وَمَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا إِلَّا عَلِمْتُهُ وَمُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَيٌّ حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُصْبِحُ مُؤْمِنًا ثُمَّ يُمْسِي مَا مَعَهُ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ وَيُمْسِي مُؤْمِنًا وَيُصْبِحُ مَا مَعَهُ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ يُقَاتِلُ فِئَتَهُ الْيَوْمَ وَيَقْتُلُهُ اللَّهُ غَدًا يَنْكُسُ قَلْبُهُ تَعْلُوهُ أَسْتُهُ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ أَسْفَلُهُ قَالَ أَسْتُهُ
It is narrated from Abu Thawr that on the day of Jar‘ah, Sayyiduna ‘Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) sent Sayyiduna Sa‘id bin ‘As (may Allah be pleased with him), but people came to him and sent him back. I (Abu Thawr) was sitting with Sayyiduna Abu Mas‘ud and Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with them). Sayyiduna Abu Mas‘ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I did not think that he would return just like that without blood being shed. Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: But I knew very well that this army would return on their heels just like that without bloodshed. I have known this since the time when Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), was alive. Rather, such conditions will arise that a man will begin the morning in a state of faith, but by evening he will have been emptied of faith, and a man will begin the evening in a state of faith, but by morning nothing of faith will remain with him. A man will fight with his own group, and the next day Allah Almighty will kill him and turn his heart over, and his backside will be on top of him. I said: The lower part will be on top? He said: I am saying backside, backside.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Jur‘ah is the name of a place near Kufa. During the caliphate of Sayyiduna Uthman radi Allahu anhu, a fitnah (trial/discord) occurred there.
Hafiz Ibn Kathir, while alluding to this incident in *Al-Bidayah wa’l-Nihayah*, said: The point is that Sayyiduna Sa‘id ibn al-‘As radi Allahu anhu returned to Madinah and the fitnah ended. This astonished the people of Kufa, and they wrote to Sayyiduna Uthman radi Allahu anhu requesting that Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash‘ari radi Allahu anhu be appointed as their governor. Sayyiduna Uthman radi Allahu anhu did so in order to remove their excuse and doubt.
