Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 40108 — Those who disliked going out during

Nafi' narrates from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: When allegiance was pledged to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), he came to me and said: "You are a man beloved among the people of Syria. I have appointed you as governor over them, so go to them." Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: I remembered our kinship and our tie by marriage, and I said: "To proceed: by Allah, I will not pledge allegiance to you." He (Ibn Umar) said: So he left me and went out. After that, Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) came to Sayyidah Umm Kulthum (may Allah be pleased with her), greeted her and set off toward Makkah. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) came, and it was said to him: "Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) has set off toward Syria." So he called the people out to fight. The narrator said: A man would hurry so much that he would throw his cloak over the neck of his camel. The narrator said: Someone came to Sayyidah Umm Kulthum and she was informed, so she sent word to her father: "What are you doing? The man came to me, greeted me and went off toward Makkah." So the people returned.
