During the battle of Al-Jamal, Allah benefited me with a Word (I heard from the Prophet). When the Prophet heard the news that the people of the Persia had made the daughter of Khosrau their Queen (ruler), he said, "Never will succeed such a nation as makes a woman their ruler."  

لَقَدْ نَفَعَنِي اللَّهُ بِكَلِمَةٍ أَيَّامَ الْجَمَلِ لَمَّا بَلَغَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَنَّ فَارِسًا مَلَّكُوا ابْنَةَ كِسْرَى قَالَ لَنْ يُفْلِحَ قَوْمٌ وَلَّوْا أَمْرَهُمُ امْرَأَةً  

When Talha, AzZubair and ʿAisha moved to Basra, ʿAli sent ʿAmmar bin Yasir and Hasan bin ʿAli who came to us at Kufa and ascended the pulpit. Al-Hasan bin ʿAli was at the top of the pulpit and ʿAmmar was below Al-Hasan. We all gathered before him. I heard ʿAmmar saying, "ʿAisha has moved to Al-Busra. By Allah! She is the wife of your Prophet in this world and in the Hereafter. But Allah has put you to test whether you obey Him (Allah) or her (ʿAisha).  

فَسَمِعْتُ عَمَّارًا يَقُولُ إِنَّ عَائِشَةَ قَدْ سَارَتْ إِلَى الْبَصْرَةِ وَوَاللَّهِ إِنَّهَا لَزَوْجَةُ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى ابْتَلاَكُمْ لِيَعْلَمَ إِيَّاهُ تُطِيعُونَ أَمْ هِيَ  

ʿAmmar stood on the pulpit at Kufa and mentioned ʿAisha and her coming (to Busra) and said, "She is the wife of your Prophet in this world and in the Hereafter, but you people are being put to test in this issue."  

عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ قَامَ عَمَّارٌ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ الْكُوفَةِ فَذَكَرَ عَائِشَةَ وَذَكَرَ مَسِيرَهَا وَقَالَ إِنَّهَا زَوْجَةُ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَلَكِنَّهَا مِمَّا ابْتُلِيتُمْ  

Abu Musa and Abii Masʿud went to ʿAmmar when ʿAli had sent him to Kufa to exhort them to fight (on ʿAli's side). They said to him, "Since you have become a Muslim, we have never seen you doing a deed more criticizable to us than your haste in this matter." ʿAmmar said, "Since you (both) became Muslims, I have never seen you doing a deed more criticizable to me than your keeping away from this matter." Then Abu Masʿud provided ʿAmmar and Abu Musa with two-piece outfits to wear, and one of them went to the mosque (of Kufa).  

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا وَائِلٍ يَقُولُ دَخَلَ أَبُو مُوسَى وَأَبُو مَسْعُودٍ عَلَى عَمَّارٍ حَيْثُ بَعَثَهُ عَلِيٌّ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ يَسْتَنْفِرُهُمْ فَقَالاَ مَا رَأَيْنَاكَ أَتَيْتَ أَمْرًا أَكْرَهَ عِنْدَنَا مِنْ إِسْرَاعِكَ فِي هَذَا الأَمْرِ مُنْذُ أَسْلَمْتَ فَقَالَ عَمَّارٌ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْكُمَا مُنْذُ أَسْلَمْتُمَا أَمْرًا أَكْرَهَ عِنْدِي مِنْ إِبْطَائِكُمَا عَنْ هَذَا الأَمْرِ وَكَسَاهُمَا حُلَّةً حُلَّةً ثُمَّ رَاحُوا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ  

I was sitting with Abu Masʿud and Abu Musa and ʿAmmar. Abu Masʿud said (to ʿAmmar), "There is none of your companions but, if I wish, I could find fault with him except with you. Since you joined the company of the Prophet ﷺ I have never seen anything done by you more criticizable by me than your haste in this issue." ʿAmmar said, O Abu Masʿud ! I have never seen anything done by you or by this companion of yours (i.e., Abu Musa) more criticizable by me than your keeping away from this issue since the time you both joined the company of the Prophet." Then Abu Masʿud who was a rich man, said (to his servant), "O boy! Bring two suits." Then he gave one to Abu Musa and the other to ʿAmmar and said (to them), "Put on these suits before going for the Friday prayer. "  

أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ مَا مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ أَحَدٌ إِلاَّ لَوْ شِئْتُ لَقُلْتُ فِيهِ غَيْرَكَ وَمَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْكَ شَيْئًا مُنْذُ صَحِبْتَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَعْيَبَ عِنْدِي مِنِ اسْتِسْرَاعِكَ فِي هَذَا الأَمْرِ قَالَ عَمَّارٌ يَا أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ وَمَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْكَ وَلاَ مِنْ صَاحِبِكَ هَذَا شَيْئًا مُنْذُ صَحِبْتُمَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَعْيَبَ عِنْدِي مِنْ إِبْطَائِكُمَا فِي هَذَا الأَمْرِ فَقَالَ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ وَكَانَ مُوسِرًا يَا غُلاَمُ هَاتِ حُلَّتَيْنِ فَأَعْطَى إِحْدَاهُمَا أَبَا مُوسَى وَالأُخْرَى عَمَّارًا وَقَالَ رُوحَا فِيهِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ
