حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَدَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا غَيْلانُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، قَالَ: قُلْنَا لِلزُّبَيْرِ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ، مَا جَاءَ بِكُمْ ضَيَّعْتُمُ الْخَلِيفَةَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ، ثُمَّ جِئْتُمْ تَطْلُبُونَ بِدَمِهِ؟ فَقَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ: " إِنَّا قَرَأْنَاهَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَعُمَرَ، وَعُثْمَانَ: {وَاتَّقُوا فِتْنَةً لَا تُصِيبَنَّ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْكُمْ} [الأنفال: ٢٥] خَاصَّةً لَمْ نَكُنْ نَحْسَبُ أَنَّا أَهْلُهَا حَتَّى وَقَعَتْ مِنَّا حَيْثُ وَقَعَتْ " (١)،

It was narrated that Mutarrif said:
We said to az-Zubair (رضي الله عنه): “O Abu "Abdullah, what brought you here? You let the caliph down until he was killed, then you came seeking vengeance for him?” Az-Zubair (رضي الله عنه) said: “At the time of the Prophet (ﷺ), Abu Bakr, "Umar and "Uthman and me, we read the verse: “And fear the Fitnah (affliction and trial) which affects not in particular (only those) of you who do wrong (but it may afflict all the good and the bad people).” [al-Anfal 8:25]. But we never knew that it referred to us until the turmoil befell us.”
