حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ , حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عِيسَى , حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ مُؤَذِّنُ مَسْجِدِ حُرْدَانَ , قَالَ : حَدَّثَتْنِي عُدَيْسَةُ بِنْتُ أُهْبَانَ , قَالَتْ : لَمَّا جَاءَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ هَاهُنَا الْبَصْرَةَ دَخَلَ عَلَى أَبِي , فَقَالَ : يَا أَبَا مُسْلِمٍ , أَلَا تُعِينُنِي عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمِ , قَالَ : بَلَى , قَالَ : فَدَعَا جَارِيَةً لَهُ , فَقَالَ : يَا جَارِيَةُ , أَخْرِجِي سَيْفِي , قَالَ : فَأَخْرَجَتْهُ فَسَلَّ مِنْهُ قَدْرَ شِبْرٍ , فَإِذَا هُوَ خَشَبٌ , فَقَالَ : إِنَّ خَلِيلِي وَابْنَ عَمِّكَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ " إِذَا كَانَتِ الْفِتْنَةُ بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَأَتَّخِذُ سَيْفًا مِنْ خَشَبٍ " , فَإِنْ شِئْتَ خَرَجْتُ مَعَكَ , قَالَ : لَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِيكَ , وَلَا فِي سَيْفِكَ .
´‘Udaisah bint Uhban said:` “When ‘Ali bin Abu Talib came to Basrah, he entered upon my father and said: ‘O Abu Muslim, will you not help me against these people?’ He said: ‘Of course.’ So he called a slave woman of his and said: ‘O slave woman, bring me my sword.’ So she brought it, and he unsheathed it a span, and (I saw that) it was made of wood. He said: ‘My close friend and your cousin (ﷺ) advised me, if tribulation (Fitnah) arose among the Muslims, that I should take a sword of wood. If you wish I will go out with you.’ He said: ‘I have no need of you or of your sword.’”
