Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32696 — Reports on talk about rulers
٣٢٦٩٦ - حدثنا زيد بن الحباب قال: حدثني العلاء بن المنهال الغنوي قال: حدثني أبو الجهم القرشي عن أبيه قال: بلغ عليًا (عني) (١) شيء فضربني أسواطا، ثم بلغه بعد ذلك أن معاوية كتب إليه، فأرسل رجلين يفتشان منزله، فوجد الكتاب في منزله فقال لأحد الرجلين وهو من (العشيرة) (٢): إنك من العشيرة فاستر عليَّ، قال فأتيا عليًا فأخبراه قال: فركب عليٌ وركب أبي، فقال لأبي: أما إنا (فتشنا) (٣) (عليه) (٤) ذلك فوجدناه باطلًا، قال: ما ضربني فيه أبطل (٥).
Abu al-Jahm al-Qurashi narrates from his father, who said: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) received a bad report about me, so he had me lashed. Then news reached him that Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) had written me a letter, so he sent two men to search my house, and they found the letter in my house. I said to one of them, who was from my clan: "You are from my clan, so conceal this for me." The men went to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and told him the matter. Abu al-Jahm said: Then my father and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) rode out, and he said to him: "We looked into the matter concerning you, and it proved to be utterly false." My father said: "The matter for which you had me lashed is more baseless than that."
