Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 317 — from his father, who said: When the two

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الطُّوسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الضَّحَّاكِ الْحِزَامِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قَامَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ الْكُوفَةِ حِينَ اخْتَلَفَ الْحَكَمَانِ، فَقَالَ: «قَدْ كُنْتُ نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ هَذِهِ الْحُكُومَةِ فَعَصَيْتُمُونِي» فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ فَتًى آدَمُ فَقَالَ: إِنَّكَ وَاللهِ مَا نَهَيْتَنَا، وَلَكِنَّكَ أَمَرْتَنَا وَدمَّرْتَنَا، فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِيهَا مَا تَكْرَهُ بَرَّأَتَ نَفْسَكَ، وَنَحَلْتَنَا ذَنْبَكَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: «وَمَا أَنْتَ وَهَذَا الْكَلَامُ قَبَّحَكَ اللهُ، وَاللهِ لَقَدْ كَانَتِ الْجَمَاعَةُ فَكُنْتَ فِيهَا خَامِلًا، فَلَمَّا ظَهَرَتِ الْفِتْنَةُ نَجَّمْتَ فِيهَا نُجُومَ قَرْنِ الْمَاعِزَةِ» ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى النَّاسِ، فَقَالَ: «لِلَّهِ مَنْزِلٌ نَزَلَهُ سَعْدُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، وَاللهِ لَئِنْ كَانَ ذَنْبًا إِنَّهُ لَصَغِيرٌ مَغْفُورٌ، وَلَئِنِ كَانَ حَسَنًا إِنَّهُ لَعَظِيمٌ مَشْكُورٌ»
Yahya bin Muhammad bin al-Dahhak al-Hizami narrates from his father, who said: When the two arbitrators differed, Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) stood on the pulpit of Kufah and said: "I had forbidden you from this arbitration, but you disobeyed me." Then a young man of brown complexion stood up before him and said: By Allah! You did not forbid us; rather you commanded us and ruined us, and then when there came of it what you disliked, you declared yourself innocent and placed your sin upon us. So Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "What business is this talk of yours? May Allah ruin you! By Allah! When the community was united, you were obscure within it, and when the trial (fitnah) appeared, you sprang up in it like the horn of a goat." Then he turned to the people and said: "How excellent is the position that Sa'd bin Malik and Abdullah bin Umar took! By Allah! If it is a sin, it is a small sin that is forgiven, and if it is a good deed, it is a great good deed that will be appreciated."
