Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 40511 — Reports on Uthman (may Allah be)
٤٠٥١١ - حدثنا أبو أسامة عن ابن أبي عروبة عن قتادة قال: أخذ علي بيد الأشتر ثم انطلق (به) (١) حتى أتى طلحة، فقال: (يا طلحة) (٢) إن هؤلاء -يعني أهل مصر- يسمعون منك ويطيعونك، فانههم عن قتل عثمان، فقال: (ما أستطيع) (٣) دفع دم أراد اللَّه إهراقه؛ فأخذ علي بيد الأشتر، ثم انصرف وهو يقول: (بئس) (٤) ما ظنَّ ابن الحضرمية أن يقتل ابن عمي ويغلبني على ملكي، (بئس) (٥) ما (رأى) (٦) (٧).
It is narrated from Qatadah that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) took al-Ashtar by the hand and set off until he came to Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him). Then he said: "These people, that is, the people of Egypt, listen to you and obey you, so forbid them from killing Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him)." He replied: "I cannot prevent blood that Allah has willed to be shed." So Sayyiduna Ali took al-Ashtar by the hand and came back, saying: "How evil is the supposition of the son of al-Hadramiyyah, that he would kill my cousin and overpower me for my rule! How evil is his view!"
