Hadith 30

(The book) ‘Amaali’ of sheykh Al Tusi – Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Salt, from Abu Uqda the memoriser, from Ja’far Bin Abdullah Al Alawy, from his uncle Al Qasim Bin Ja’far Al Alawy, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad Bin Abdullah Al Alawy, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Abu Bakr Bin Muhammad Bin Amro Bin Hazim, from his father, from his grandfather, ‘The group, when they gathered for the consultation, they said during it and whispered to Abdul Rahman, each man from them upon keenness. Then he said to Ali-asws, ‘Upon you-asws is a Pact of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Covenant, if you-asws were to be in charge, you-asws will act by the Book of Allah-azwj and Sunnah of His-azwj Prophet-saww, and ways of Abu Bakr and Umar’. Ali-asws said: ‘Upon me-asws is a Pact of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Covenant, if I-asws were to rule, I-asws would order you all to act by the Book of Allah-azwj and Sunnah of His-azwj Prophet-saww’. Abdul Rahman said to Usman like his words to Ali-asws. He answered him, ‘Yes’. He repeated the words unto them both, three times, during all that Ali-asws was saying like his-asws (first) words, and Usman answered him, ‘Yes’. So, Abdul Rahman pledged allegiance to Usman at that’’. [22]
