Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 40608 — The journey of Aishah, Ali, Talhah

It is reported from Sawwar: Musa bin Talhah called me to him for some need, and I went to him. I was sitting with him when some people from the mosque came to Musa bin Talhah and said: "O Abu Isa, tell us about your night among the prisoners." He said: "I heard them saying: 'As for Musa bin Talhah, he will be killed in the morning.' When I had prayed the morning prayer, a man came running, calling out: 'The prisoners! The prisoners!' Then another man came on his heels, calling out: 'Musa bin Talhah! Musa bin Talhah!' So I went and came to the Commander of the Believers and greeted him. The Commander of the Believers said: 'Will you pledge allegiance? Will you enter into what the people have entered?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Like this,' and the Commander of the Believers stretched out his hand. So I pledged allegiance to him. Then he said: 'Return to your family and property.' When the people saw me coming out, they began to go in and pledge allegiance."
