Musnad Ahmad — Hadith #45198

Waki’ told us, Al-A’mash told us, on the authority of Muslim Al-Bateen, on the authority of Ali bin Al-Hussein, on the authority of Marwan bin Al-Hakam, he said: We were walking with Uthman. May God be pleased with him, then there was a man reciting them both. Othman, may God be pleased with him, said, “Who is this?” They said, “Ali.” He said, “Did you not know that I I have forbidden this. He said, “Yes, but I would not allow the saying of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, to be yours.”
