Hadith 1223
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ شَقِيقٍ : كَانَ عُثْمَانُ يَنْهَى عَنِ الْمُتْعَةِ ، وَكَانَ عَلِيٌّ يَأْمُرُ بِهَا ، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ لِعَلِيٍّ كَلِمَةً " ، ثُمَّ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ : " لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّا قَدْ تَمَتَّعْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " ، فَقَالَ : " أَجَلْ وَلَكِنَّا كُنَّا خَائِفِينَ " ،
'Abdullah bin Shaqiq reported that 'Uthman (RA) used to forbid Tamattu', whereas 'Ali (RA) ordered to do it. 'Uthman said a word to 'Ali, but 'Ali said: You know that we used to perform Tamattu' with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) , whereupon he said: It is right, but we entertained fear.

وحَدَّثَنِيهِ يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبٍ الْحَارِثِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْحَارِثِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ مِثْلَهُ .
This hadith has been narrated by Shu'bah with the same chain of transmitters.

وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ ، قَالَ : اجْتَمَعَ عَلِيٌّ وَعُثْمَانُ رضي الله عنهما بعسفان ، فكان عثمان ينهى عَنِ الْمُتْعَةِ أَوِ الْعُمْرَةِ ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ : " مَا تُرِيدُ إِلَى أَمْرٍ فَعَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَنْهَى عَنْهُ " ، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ : " دَعْنَا مِنْكَ " ، فَقَالَ : " إِنِّي لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَدَعَكَ " ، فَلَمَّا أَنْ رَأَى عَلِيٌّ ذَلِكَ أَهَلَّ بِهِمَا جَمِيعًا .
Sa'id bin al-Musayyab reported that 'Ali and 'Uthman (RA) met at 'Usfan; and 'Uthman used to forbid (people) from performing Tamattu' and 'Umrah (during the period of Hajj), whereupon 'Ali said: What is your opinion about a matter which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did, but you forbid it? Thereupon 'Uthman said: You leave us alone, whereupon he ('Ali) said: I cannot leave you alone. When 'Ali saw this, he put on Ihram for both of them together (both for Hajj and 'Umrah).

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: Hazrat Uthman radi Allahu anhu, like Hazrat Umar radi Allahu anhu, considered Hajj Ifrad to be superior. The meaning of being fearful is that performing Tamattu‘ with the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was done on the basis of his command, so one should remain fearful even afterwards of disobeying his command. We were fearful of disobeying the command of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam; that is why we converted Hajj Ifrad into Hajj Tamattu‘. The fear of the enemy cannot be intended here, because Makkah had already been conquered and there was no longer any kind of fear remaining there.
