Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 12072

وَعَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الضَّحَّاكِ الْحَرَامِيِّ قَالَ : قَامَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ الْكُوفَةِ حِينَ اخْتَلَفَ الْحَكَمَانِ ، فَقَالَ : قَدْ كُنْتُ نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ هَذِهِ الْحُكُومَةِ فَعَصَيْتُمُونِي . فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ فَتًى آدَمُ فَقَالَ : إِنَّكَ وَاللَّهِ مَا نَهَيْتَنَا ، وَلَكِنَّكَ أَمَرْتَنَا وَدَمَّرْتَنَا ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِيهَا مَا تَكْرَهُ بَرَّأْتَ نَفْسَكَ وَنَحَلْتَنَا ذَنْبَكَ . فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ : وَمَا أَنْتَ وَهَذَا الْكَلَامُ ؟ قَبَّحَكَ اللَّهُ ، وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ كَانَتِ الْجَمَاعَةُ وَكُنْتَ فِيهَا خَامِلًا ، فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ الْفِتْنَةُ نَجَمَتْ فِيهَا نُجُومُ قَرْنِ الْمَاعِزَةِ ، ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ : لِلَّهِ مَنْزِلٌ نَزَلَهُ سَعْدُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، وَاللَّهِ لَئِنْ كَانَ ذَنْبًا إِنَّهُ لَصَغِيرٌ مَغْفُورٌ ، وَلَئِنْ كَانَ حَسَنًا إِنَّهُ لَعَظِيمٌ مَشْكُورٌ .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الضَّحَّاكِ وَوَلَدُهُ يَحْيَى لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُمَا .
Muhammad bin al-Dahhak al-Hizami narrates: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) stood on the pulpit of Kufah; this was when the two arbiters had differed. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I had forbidden you this arbitration, and you disobeyed me. A young man of wheatish complexion stood up before him and said: By Allah, you did not forbid us; rather, you commanded us and brought ruin upon us, and when something you disliked came of it, you declared yourself free of blame and laid your sin upon us. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: Who are you, and what have you to do with such words? May Allah disfigure you! By Allah, when the community was united you were obscure in it, but when the trial came you sprouted up in it like the horn of a goat. Then he turned to the people and said: How excellent before Allah is the position that Sa'd bin Malik and Abdullah bin Umar took! By Allah, if it was a sin, it is a small sin that will be forgiven, and if it was a good deed, it is a great one that will be rewarded.
Al-Tabarani recorded it; I do not know Muhammad bin al-Dahhak or his son Yahya.
