Hadith 32

Usman consoled him and spoke to him, but he did not speak to him until he died’. Ibn Al Aseer said (in the book) ‘Al-Kamil’ – ‘Abdul Rahman used to circle during his nights meeting companions of Rasool-Allah-saww and men of the army, consulting them, until when it was the night in the morning of which the three days were to be completed, which Umar had made it (for consultation), he came to the house Al-Miswar Bin Makhzama and said, ‘I did not taste a lot of shut-eye during this night’. He went and called Al-Zubeyr and Sa’ad. He called them both and began with Al Zubeyr. He said to him, ‘Vacate my son Abd Manaf and this command’. He said, ‘My share is for Ali-asws’. And he said to Saeed, ‘Make your share to be for me’. He said, ‘If you choose yourself, so yes, and if you choose Usman, then Ali-asws is more beloved to me, of you man! Get allegiances pledged to yourself and give us rest’. He said to him, ‘I make it upon myself that I shall choose, and if I do not do so, I will not return it. I saw a green garden with a lot of pasture. Such a stallion entered it, I had not seen any better than it. He passed by as if he was an arrow and did not turn to anything from it until he cut across it and did not return; and a camel entered following it and pursued its tracks until it came out from it. Then a stallion entered, well-trained, its rein flowing, and continued aiming for the first two. Then a camel entered as the fourth, in the garden, and no, by Allah-azwj, I do not want to be the fourth. And no one will be standing in the place of Abu Bakr and Umar after them and the people would be pleased with him’. (Ibn Al-Aseer) said, ‘And Al-Miswar sent a message calling Ali-asws and whispered to him-asws for a long time. Then he sent a message to Usman and they both whispered until there was separation between the two by the morning. When they had prayed the morning Salat, the group got together and sent a message to the ones present, from the Emigrants, and the people of precedence and the merit from the Helpers, and to the men of the armies. They gathered until the Masjid filled up with its people. He said, ‘O you people! The people have gathered to return the people of the cities to their cities, and they consult upon me? ’ Ammar said, ‘I intend that you should not oppose the people, and pledge allegiance to Ali-asws’. Al-Miqdad-ra Bin Al-Aswad said, ‘Ammar spoke the truth! If you pledge allegiance to Ali-asws, we shall say, ‘We hear and obey! ’
Abdullah Bin Abin Sar’h said, ‘I intend not to oppose Qureysh, so pledge allegiance to Usman’. Abdullah Bin Rabie Al-Makhzumy said, ‘You speak the truth! If you pledge to Usman, we shall said, ‘We hear and obey! ’ Ammar reviled Ibn Abi Sar’h and said, ‘When were you an adviser of the Muslims? ! ’
