[Machine] When we stopped on the day of Al-Jamal, Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, called out among the people, saying, "Do not shoot a man with an arrow, stab with a spear, strike with a sword, or initiate fighting with the people. Speak to them with the softest of words." I believe he said, "For indeed, this is a sacred place. Whoever commits an offense in it will be held accountable on the Day of Resurrection." We did not move from our position until the morning came and the people called out together, "O avengers of Uthman!" Ali then called out, "Muhammad, son of Al-Hanafiyyah, and he is our leader, with him is the banner." He said, "O son of Al-Hanafiyyah, what are they saying?" So Muhammad, son of Al-Hanafiyyah, came to us and said, "O Commander of the Faithful, O avengers of Uthman." Ali raised his hands and said, "O Allah, expose the killers of Uthman today, for the sake of their faces."
