Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 40052 — Those who disliked going out during

It is narrated from Abu Salih that he said: On the Day of al-Jara'ah, one of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sat with us. The narrator said: Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) had sent Sayyiduna Sa'id bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) as governor over Kufah (and the people of Kufah had left his authority). The people of Kufah went out and caught up with him (Sa'id). He said: One of them said (before that Companion): "We are upon the Sunnah." That Companion said: "You are not upon the Sunnah until the ruler and guardian shows compassion and the subjects act in good faith."
