Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو الْقَسْمَلِيِّ، عَنْ ابْنَةِ أُهْبَانَ، أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَتَى أُهْبَانَ، فَقَالَ: مَا يَمْنَعُكَ مِنَ اتِّبَاعِي، فَقَالَ: أَوْصَانِي خَلِيلِي وَابْنُ عَمِّكِ، يَعْنِي رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: " سَتَكُونُ فِتَنٌ وَفُرْقَةٌ، فَإِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ فَاكْسِرْ سَيْفَكَ، وَاتَّخِذْ سَيْفًا مِنْ خَشَبٍ "، فَقَدْ وَقَعَتِ الْفِتْنَةُ وَالْفُرْقَةُ، وَكَسَرْتُ سَيْفِي، وَاتَّخَذْتُ سَيْفًا مِنْ خَشَبٍ، وَأَمَرَ أَهْلَهُ حِينَ ثَقُلَ أَنْ يُكَفِّنُوهُ، وَلَا يُلْبِسُوهُ قَمِيصًا، قَالَ: فَأَلْبَسْنَاهُ قَمِيصًا، فَأَصْبَحْنَا وَالْقَمِيصُ عَلَى الْمِشْجَبِ " (١)، ،

Translation

English translation

Adisah bint Wahban says that once Ali came to her father and said, "Why do you not go out with me to those people and help me?" He replied, "My friend and your cousin made me promise that when turmoil appears among the Muslims, I should break my sword and make a wooden sword. Now turmoil is appearing, so I have broken my sword and made a wooden one." Then, during his final illness, he advised his family that they should give him a shroud but not put a shirt on him. The narrator says that we put a shirt on him, but in the morning, it was found lying on the wooden peg used for hanging clothes.
