حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَبُعٍ، قَالَ: خَطَبَنَا عَلِيٌّ، رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ: " وَالَّذِي فَلَقَ الْحَبَّةَ، وَبَرَأَ النَّسَمَةَ لَتُخْضَبَنَّ هَذِهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ "، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّاسُ: فَأَعْلِمْنَا مَنْ هُوَ؟ وَاللهِ لَنُبِيرَنَّ عِتْرَتَهُ، قَالَ: " أَنْشُدُكُمْ بِاللهِ أَنْ يُقْتَلَ غَيْرُ قَاتِلِي " قَالُوا: إِنْ كُنْتَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ ذَلِكَ اسْتَخْلِفِ اذًا. قَالَ: " لَا، وَلَكِنِ اكِلُكُمِ الَى مَا وَكَلَكُمِ الَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " (٢)،

It was narrated that `Abdullah bin Sabu’ said:
‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) addressed us and said: By the One Who split the seed and created the soul, this (his beard) will be soaked from this (his head, i.e., his beard would be soaked with blood from a wound in his head). He said: Tell us who he is. By Allah, we will eliminate him - or we will eliminate his family. He said: I adjure you by Allah not to kill anyone except the one who kills me. They said: If you know that, then appoint a successor. He said: No, rather I shall leave you as the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) left you.
