قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ : أَخْبَرَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ : أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو نَضْرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي أُسَيْدٍ - وَهُوَ مَالِكُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ - قَالَ : إِنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ نَهَى عَنِ الْعُمْرَةِ فِي أَشْهُرِ الْحَجِّ أَوْ عَنِ التَّمَتُّعِ بِالْعُمْرَةِ إِلَى الْحَجِّ ، فَأَهَلَّ بِهَا عَلِيٌّ مَكَانَهُ ، فَنَزَلَ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ الْمِنْبَرِ ، فَأَخَذَ شَيْئًا فَمَشَى بِهِ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، [فَقَامَ طَلْحَةُ ، وَالزُّبَيْرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا ، فَانْتَزَعَاهُ مِنْهُ فَمَشَى إِلَى عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ] فَكَادَ أَنْ يَنْخُسَ عَيْنَهُ بِإِصْبَعِهِ وَيَقُولَ لَهُ : " إِنَّكَ لَضَالٌّ مُضِلٌّ ، وَلَا يَرُدُّ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ عَلَيْهِ شَيْئًا " .
It is narrated from Abu Sa'id, the freed slave (mawla) of Abu Usayd (who is Malik bin Rabi'ah), that the Commander of the Believers, Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him), forbade performing Umrah in the months of Hajj (ashhur al-hajj), or Hajj al-Tamattu'. So Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) immediately raised his voice in the talbiyah for Umrah right there. Then Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) came down from the pulpit, took hold of something and went with it towards Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). (So Sayyiduna Talhah and Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them both) stood up and snatched that thing from his hand; then he went towards Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him).) It reached the point that he was about to jab his finger into his eye, and he began saying to him: "Innaka la-dallun mudill (Indeed, you have strayed from the path of truth yourself and are leading others astray)," while Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) made no reply to his words.

أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، قَالَ : ثَنَا سَلَّامُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ الْخُزَاعِيِّ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ ، قَالَ : شَهِدْتُ عَلِيًّا ، وَعُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا كَانَ بَيْنَهُمَا نَزْغٌ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَمَا بَقَّى وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ شَيْئًا ، فَلَوْ شِئْتُ أَنْ أَقُصَّ عَلَيْكُمْ مَا كَانَ بَيْنَهُمَا لَفَعَلْتُ ، ثُمَّ لَمْ يَبْرَحَا حَتَّى اسْتَغْفَرَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ " .
It is narrated from Sa'id bin al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: "I saw Sayyiduna Ali and Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with them both) when some provocation from Satan had arisen between them, and neither of them left anything unsaid (in harsh words) to the other. If I wished to relate to you in detail what passed between them, I would do so. Then neither of them left his place until each of them had sought forgiveness (istighfar), that is, prayed to Allah for forgiveness, for his companion."

وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، ثَنَا طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، ثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ كُلَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْجُوَيْرِيَةِ الْجَرْمِيِّ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجَرْمِيِّ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ عُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ إِذْ جَاءَهُ شَيْخٌ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ الْقَوْمُ قَالُوا : أَبُو ذَرٍّ ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : مَرْحَبًا وَأَهْلًا بِأَخِي [فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : مَرْحَبًا وَأَهْلًا بِأَخِي] لَعَمْرِي لَقَدْ غَلَّظْتَ فِي الْعَزْمَةِ ، وَايْمُ اللهِ ، لَوْ أَنَّكَ عَزَمْتَ أَنْ أَحْبُوَ لَحَبَوْتُ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَنْ أَحْبُوَ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zayd bin Khalid al-Jarmi (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I was sitting with the Commander of the Believers, Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), when suddenly an elderly man came. When the people saw him, they said: This is Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him). When Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) saw him, he said: "Marhaban wa ahlan bi-akhi (Welcome, and a warm welcome to my brother)." [Then Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) also said: "Marhaban wa ahlan bi-akhi (Welcome, and a warm welcome to my brother)."] (Then he said:) By my life, you were very severe in issuing the order (restricting me); but by Allah, had you ordered me to come crawling on my knees, I would certainly have come crawling on my knees for as long as I had the strength.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ : يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مَا تَقُولُ فِي رَجُلٍ حَرِيصٍ عَلَى الْجِهَادِ مُؤْدِيًا ، يَعْزِمُ عَلَيْهِ أُمَرَاؤُهُ فِي أَشْيَاءَ لَا يُحْصِيهَا ؟ فَقَالَ : وَاللهِ مَا أَدْرِي مَا أَقُولُ لَكَ إِلَّا أَنَّا كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَعَلَّنَا لَا نُؤْمَرُ بِشَيْءٍ إِلَّا فَعَلْنَاهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came and said: "O Abu Abd al-Rahman, what do you say about a man who is extremely eager for jihad in the path of Allah and is fully equipped (with weapons and mount), but his commanders (the leaders of the army) order him to do countless things that he cannot keep count of?" He said: "By Allah, I do not know what to say to you, except that when we were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), whatever we were ordered to do, we carried it out (without hesitation)."
