[Machine] "I witnessed Ali on the Day of the Camel saying, 'O Allah, I declare my innocence to You from the blood of Uthman. My mind went astray on the day Uthman was killed, and I condemned myself. They wanted me to pledge allegiance, but I said, 'I swear by Allah, I feel ashamed before Allah to pledge allegiance to people who have killed a man.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, 'Do you not feel ashamed before the angels from whom you feel ashamed?' And I swear by Allah, I feel ashamed before Allah to pledge allegiance while Uthman, a murdered man, lies on the ground without being buried yet.' So they left me alone. When Uthman was buried and people came back to me, they asked me for allegiance. I said, 'O Allah, I am apprehensive about what I am about to do.' Then determination came, and I pledged allegiance. They said, 'O Amir al-Mu'minin, it was as if my heart had been split open.' I said, 'O Allah, take from me for Uthman until You are pleased.'"

[Machine] I heard Ali, on the Day of the Camel, saying, "O Allah, I declare to You my innocence from the blood of Uthman. Indeed, my mind was clouded on the day Uthman was killed, and I disapproved of it. They came to me for allegiance, and I said, 'By Allah, I am too shy before Allah to pledge allegiance to a group who have killed a man.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, 'Are you shy of whom the angels are shy?.' And I am indeed shy before Allah to pledge allegiance when Uthman is dead, and his body has not yet been buried.' So they left, and when he was buried, the people returned and asked me for allegiance. I said, 'O Allah, I am apprehensive of what I will do.' Then resolve came to me, and I pledged allegiance. Indeed, they said, 'O Amir al-Mu'minin, it felt as if my heart was splitting.' I said, 'O Allah, take from me for Uthman until You are pleased.'"
