Hadith 12334

عَنْ ابْنَةٍ لِأُهْبَانَ بْنِ صَيْفِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهَا وَكَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا لَمَّا قَدِمَ الْبَصْرَةَ بَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَا يَمْنَعُكَ أَنْ تَتْبَعَنِي فَقَالَ أَوْصَانِي خَلِيلِي وَابْنُ عَمِّكَ فَقَالَ ”إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ فُرْقَةٌ وَاخْتِلَافٌ فَاكْسِرْ سَيْفَكَ وَاتَّخِذْ سَيْفًا مِنْ خَشَبٍ وَاقْعُدْ فِي بَيْتِكَ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَكَ يَدٌ خَاطِئَةٌ أَوْ مَنِيَّةٌ قَاضِيَةٌ“ فَفَعَلْتُ مَا أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ يَا عَلِيُّ أَنْ لَا تَكُونَ تِلْكَ الْيَدَ الْخَاطِئَةَ فَافْعَلْ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ahban bin Saifi, may Allah be pleased with him, who was a Companion, that he says: When Sayyiduna Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, arrived in Basra, he sent for me and said: What is preventing you from accompanying me? I said: My beloved friend and your cousin, that is, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, advised me that: Soon there will be turmoil and discord among the people; at that time, break your sword and make a wooden sword, and remain secluded in your house until either a tyrannical hand or death reaches you. Therefore, I did exactly what the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded me. O Ali! If you have the strength not to become that tyrannical, sinful hand, then you must do so.
