حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ عُدَيْسَةَ بِنْتِ أُهْبَانَ بْنِ صَيْفِيٍّ الْغِفَارِيِّ، قَالَتْ : جَاءَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ إِلَى أَبِي ، فَدَعَاهُ إِلَى الْخُرُوجِ مَعَهُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبِي : إِنَّ خَلِيلِي وَابْنَ عَمِّكَ " عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ إِذَا اخْتَلَفَ النَّاسُ أَنْ أَتَّخِذَ سَيْفًا مِنْ خَشَبٍ " ، فَقَدِ اتَّخَذْتُهُ فَإِنْ شِئْتَ خَرَجْتُ بِهِ مَعَكَ ، قَالَتْ : فَتَرَكَهُ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ ، وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ ، لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ .
´'Udaisah bint Uhban bin Safi Al-Ghifari said:` "Ali bin Abi Talib came to my father to call him to go out(to fight) with him. My father said to him: 'Indeed my beloved, the son of your paternal uncle, made a covenant with me, that when the people differ, to take a sword of wood. So I have resigned it, if you wish I will take it out with you.' She said: 'So he left him."'
