A man came to Ibn ʿUmar and asked about ʿUthman and Ibn ʿUmar mentioned his good deeds and said to the questioner. "Perhaps these facts annoy you?" The other said, "Yes." Ibn ʿUmar said, "May Allah stick your nose in the dust (i.e. degrade you)!' Then the man asked him about ʿAli. Ibn ʿUmar mentioned his good deeds and said, "It is all true, and that is his house in the midst of the houses of the Prophet. Perhaps these facts have hurt you?" The questioner said, "Yes." Ibn ʿUmar said, "May Allah stick your nose in the dust (i.e. degrade you or make you do things which you hate) ! Go away and do whatever you can against me."
هُوَ ذَاكَ بَيْتُهُ أَوْسَطُ بُيُوتِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَعَلَّ ذَاكَ يَسُوؤُكَ قَالَ أَجَلْ قَالَ فَأَرْغَمَ اللَّهُ بِأَنْفِكَ انْطَلِقْ فَاجْهَدْ عَلَىَّ جَهْدَكَ
