Hadith 327

And it is reported from Muhammad Bin Ubeydullah Al Qurshy, form Al Jurjany who said, ‘When Ali-asws was pledged allegiance to and wrote to the office bearers in the distant horizons, he-asws wrote to Jareer Bin Abdullah Al-Bajaly, and he was an office bearer for Usman upon border city of Hamdan with Zahr bin Qays Al-Jufy: –
