Musnad Ahmad — Hadith #45637

Abd al-Razzaq told us, Ibn Uyaynah told us, on the authority of Muhammad bin Suqa, on the authority of Mundhir al-Thawri, on the authority of Muhammad bin Ali, he said, “He came to Ali and was pleased with him.” By God, some of the people complained about Uthman’s couriers. He said, “My father said to me, ‘Go with this letter to Uthman and tell him: People have complained about your patience, and this is the order of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, regarding charity, so command them to take it. He said, “So I went to Uthman and mentioned it.” That is for him. He said, “If he had reminded Othman of something, he would have mentioned something bad to him on that day.”
