ʿUthman used to forbid mut’ah (of Hajj, i.e., tamattuʿ) and ‘Ali used to enjoin it. ʿUthman said something to ʿAli, then ʿAli said: You know that we did tamattuʿ with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He said: Yes, but we were in a state of fear then.
عَلِيٌّ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّا قَدْ تَمَتَّعْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ أَجَلْ وَلَكِنَّا كُنَّا خَائِفِينَ
You know that we used to perform Tamattu' with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, whereupon he said: It is right, but we entertained fear.
عَلِيٌّ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّا قَدْ تَمَتَّعْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَجَلْ وَلَكِنَّا كُنَّا خَائِفِينَ
You do such and such. Then ‘Ali ؓ said: You know that we did tamattuʿ with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. [ʿUthman] said: Yes, but we were afraid.
عُثْمَانُ لِعَلِيٍّ إِنَّكَ كَذَا وَكَذَا ثُمَّ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّا قَدْ تَمَتَّعْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَجَلْ وَلَكِنَّا كُنَّا خَائِفِينَ
[Machine] "Ali, you have known that we have enjoyed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He said, "Yes, but we were fearful."
عَلِيٌّ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّا قَدْ تَمَتَّعْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَجَلْ وَلَكِنَّا كُنَّا خَائِفِينَ
