Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

إني لأرجو أن أكون أنا وعثمان ممن قال الله تعالى: {ونزعنا ما في صدورهم من غل إخوانا على سرر متقابلين} [الحجر: 47]

I hope that Othman and I will be among those whom Allah Almighty said: {And We will remove whatever hatred is in their breasts as brothers on beds facing each other} [Al-Hijr: 47].

هذا يومئذ على الهدى فقمت إليه فأخذت بعضديه وأقبلت بوجهه على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، وحسرت عن رأسه، وكان متقنعا في ثوب ، فقلت: يا رسول الله، هذا؟ قال: هذا ، فإذا هو عثمان بن عفان " وقال خالد: كعب بن مرة، ولم يذكر أبا الأشعث الصنعاني

On that day, I was on the right path, so I stood up to him, grabbed his arms, and turned his face to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and I looked away from his head, and he was masked in a garment, so I said: O Messenger of Allah, is this? He said: This, and then it was Othman bin Affan.

أيها الناس، اتهموا رأيكم، فوالله لقد رأيتني يوم أبي جندل لو أستطيع أن أرد أمر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لرددته، والله ما وضعنا سيوفنا على عواتقنا إلى أمر قط إلا أسهل بنا إلى أمر نعرفه إلا أمركم هذا قال الأعمش: وكان شقيق إذا قيل له: أشهدت صفين؟ قال: نعم، وبئست الصفون

O people, accuse your opinion. By Allah, you saw me on the day of Abu Jandal. If I could refute the command of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ, I would have refuted it. By Allah, we have never placed our swords on our shoulders for a matter except that it would be easier for us to reach a matter we know except this matter of yours.

لم يعهد إلينا عهدا نأخذ به في الإمارة، ولكن شيء رأيناه من قبل أنفسنا، فإن يك صوابا فمن الله، وإن يك خطأ فمن قبل أنفسنا، ثم استخلف أبو بكر فأقام واستقام، ثم استخلف عمر فأقام واستقام، حتى ضرب الدين بجرانه، ثم إن أقواما طلبوا الدنيا، يعفو الله عمن يشاء، ويعذب من يشاء

He did not entrust us with a covenant to take us in the emirate, but it is something we saw before ourselves. If it is right, it is from Allah, and if it is wrong, then it is from ourselves. Then Abu Bakr was appointed as successor, and he remained upright and upright. Then he appointed Omar as successor, so he remained upright and upright, until he struck religion with its might, then some people sought the world. Allah pardons whomever He wills, and punishes whomever He wills.

يا أيها الناس اتهموا أنفسكم، لقد كنا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يوم الحديبية لو نرى قتالا لقاتلنا في الصلح الذي كان بين رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وبين المشركين

O people, accuse yourselves. We were with the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ, on the day of Hudaybiyyah. If we had seen fighting, we would have fought in the peace treaty that was between the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ, and the polytheists.

دخلت على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وعثمان بين يديه يناجيه، فلم أدرك من مقالته شيئا إلا قول عثمان: أظلما وعدوانا، أظلما وعدوانا يا رسول الله؟ فما دريت ما هو حتى قتل عثمان، فعلمت أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم إنما عني قتله ، قالت عائشة: وما أحببت أن يصل إلى عثمان شيء إلا وصل إلي مثله، غير أن الله علم أني لم أحب قتله، ولو أحببت قتله لقتلت وذلك لما رمي هودجها من النبل حتى صار مثل القنفذ

I entered upon the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) and Uthman was in his presence conversing with him. I did not recognize anything from his statement except Uthman’s words: Unjust and hostile, O Messenger of Allah, unjust and hostile? I did not know what it was until Uthman was killed, and I knew that the Prophet ﷺ had only intended to kill him. Aisha said: I did not want anything to reach Uthman without the like of it reaching me, except that Allah knew that I did not like to kill him, and if I had liked to kill him, I would have been killed. That was when her howdah was pelted with arrows until it became like a hedgehog.

، فقال: يا سليمان، والله لأمير المؤمنين كان أكره لهذا من دم سنية، إن أمير المؤمنين أراد أمرا فتتابعت به الأمور، فلم يجد منزعا وسأكفيك أمير المؤمنين

Then he said: O Suleiman, by Allah, this was more hateful to the Commander of the Faithful than the blood of a Sunni woman. The Commander of the Faithful wanted something, and things proceeded with it, but he found no choice but I will suffice for you, Commander of the Faithful.

يا ابن صرد، تنأنأت وتزحزحت وتربصت، كيف ترى الله صنع؟ قلت: يا أمير المؤمنين، إن الشوط بطين، وقد أبقى الله من الأمور ما تعرف فيها عدوك من صديقك، فلما قام قلت للحسن بن علي: ما أراك أغنيت عني شيئا، وقد كنت حريصا أن أشهد معه، فقال: هذا يقول لك ما تقول وقد قال لي يوم الجمل حين مشى الناس بعضهم إلى بعض: يا حسن، ثكلتك أمك، أو هبلتك أمك، والله ما أرى بعد هذا من خير

O son of Sard, you hesitated, moved, and waited. How do you see Allah doing? I said: O Commander of the Faithful, this is a difficult time, and Allah has left some matters in which you know your enemy from your friend. When he got up, I said to Al-Hassan bin Ali: I do not see that you have spared me anything, and I was keen to bear witness with him. He said: This tells you what you say, and he said to me on the Day of the Camel when the people were walking towards each other: O Hassan, may your mother be bereaved of you, or your mother may make you miserable, and by Allah, I do not see any good after this.

لو سيرني عثمان إلى صرار لسمعت له وأطعت

If Othman had directed me to Sarar, I would have listened to him and obeyed

▸Chain

والله لوددت أني لم أذكر عثمان بكلمة قط، وأني عشت في الدنيا برصاء سالخ، ولأصبع عثمان الذي يشير بها إلى السماء خير من طلاع الأرض من علي

By Allah, I wish I had never mentioned a word to Uthman, and that I had lived in this world with flawless leprosy, and that Uthman’s finger pointing to the sky was better than the earth rising from me.

وكيف أنتم يوم يكثر لكم من هذا؟ فلم يجبه أحد، فقال رجل من أصحاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: والله لوددنا لو أكثر الله لنا منه، وصبر من صبر، وفتن من فتن، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: لعلك تكون فيه شر مفتون

How are you when so much of this happens to you? No one answered him, so a man from the companions of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) said: By Allah, we would have liked if Allah had given us more of it, had patience with those who were patient, and been tempted with temptations from those who were tempted. Then the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) said: Perhaps you will be evil and tempted by him.
