[Machine] I inform you of a matter that is neither secret nor public. When it comes to this man, Uthman, I told Ali to distance himself from him. Even if you were in a hole, you would have been sought after until you were extracted. By Allah, Muawiyah will plot against you. This is because Allah says, "And whoever is killed unjustly - We have given his heir authority, but let him not exceed limits in [the matter of] taking life. Indeed, he has been supported [by the law]." Quraysh will burden you with the customs of the Persians and Romans, and the Christians, Jews, and Zoroastrians will seek favors from you. Whoever takes from you on that day with what he knows will be saved, and whoever abandons you while you are abandoning (Ali), you will be like a horn among horns in those who perished.
إِنِّي مُحَدِّثُكُمْ بِحَدِيثٍ لَيْسَ بِسِرٍّ وَلَا عَلَانِيَةٍ إِنَّهُ لَمَّا كَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ مَا كَانَ يَعْنِي عُثْمَانَ قُلْتُ لِعَلِيٍّ اعْتَزِلْ؛ فَلَوْ كُنْتَ فِي جُحْرٍ طُلِبْتَ حَتَّى تُسْتَخْرَجَ فَعَصَانِي وَايْمُ اللهِ لَيَتَأَمَّرَنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ مُعَاوِيَةُ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يَقُولُ {وَمَنْ قُتِلَ مَظْلُومًا فَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا لِوَلِيِّهِ سُلْطَانًا فَلَا يُسْرِفْ فِي الْقَتْلِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ مَنْصُورًا} وَلَتَحْمِلَنَّكُمْ قُرَيْشٌ عَلَى سُنَّةِ فَارِسَ وَالرُّومِ وَلَيَتَمَنَّنَ عَلَيْكُمُ النَّصَارَى وَالْيَهُودُ وَالْمَجُوسُ فَمَنْ أَخَذَ مِنْكُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِمَا يَعْرِفُ نَجَا وَمَنْ تَرَكَ وَأَنْتُمْ تَارِكُونَ كُنْتُمْ كَقَرْنٍ مِنَ الْقُرُونِ فِيمَنْ هَلَكَ
