Hadith 126

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘And it is reported by Ahmad Bin A’sam Al Kufy in his history, ‘Ayesha came to Umm Salama-ra and said to her-ra, ‘You-ra of the closest status from Rasool-Allah-saww among his-saww wives, and the first one to emigrate with him-saww, and Rasool-Allah-saww used to send to your-ra house whatever was gifted to him-saww, then he-saww would distribute between us. And you-ra know what you know, what Usman has received from this community, from the injustice and the aggression, and I am not denying upon them except they had told him to repent, so when he had repented and retracted, they killed him. And Abdullah Bin Aamir has informed me, and he was an office bearer of Usman upon Al-Basra that there have gathered one hundred thousand from the men, seeking his retaliation, and I fear the war between the Muslims and spilling of the blood without permissibility. So, I have determined upon the going out to reconcile between them. If you-ra were to go out with us, we would hope that Allah-azwj would Reconcile through us the affairs of this community’. Umm Salama-ra said, ‘O daughter of Abu Bakr! Were you not the most eager of the people upon killing him (Usman) and you were saying, ‘Kill No’sal for he has committed Kufr’? And what have you to do with seeking his retaliation and he is a man from the clan of Abd Manaf and you are a woman from the (clan of) Taym Bin Murra. There is no relationship between you and him! And what have you to do with the going out against Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, brother-asws of His-azwj Rasool-saww, and the Emigrants and the Helpers are in concordance upon his-asws Imamate? ’ Then she-ra mentioned some of his-asws virtues and counted segments of his-asws merits. And Abdullah Bin Al-Zubeyr had been standing at the door listening to their speech. He called out at her-ra, ‘O Umm Salama-ra! We have known of your-ra hatred to the family of Al-Zubeyr and you-ra have not been loving towards us, nor will you-ra love us, ever! ’
Umm Salama-ra said, ‘Are you wanting to go out against a caliph of Rasool-Allah-saww, and the one whom the Emigrants and the Helpers made him-asws in-charge of the affairs of this community? ’ He said, ‘We have not heard that from Rasool-Allah-saww’. She-ra said, ‘If you have not heard, your maternal auntie does know this. Ask her, she will narrate to you, and I-ra have heard Rasool-Allah-azwj saying for Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws: ‘You-asws are my-saww caliph during my-saww lifetime and after my-saww passing away. One who disobeys you-asws, so he has disobeyed me-saww’. Is it like that, O Ayesha? ’ She said, ‘Yes, I have heard it from Rasool-Allah-saww, and I testify with it’. Umm Salama-ra said, ‘Fear Allah-azwj, O Ayesha, and be cautious of what you have heard from Rasool-Allah-saww! And he-saww had said to you: ‘Do not become the one (barked at by) the dogs of Al-Hawaab, and do not let Al-Zubeyr and Talha deceive you, for these two will not avail you anything from Allah-azwj’. Ayesha stood up angrily and went out from her-ra house’’. [144]
