English narration
Narrated by عمار بن ياسر العنسي
Abu Musa and Abii Mas`ud went to `Ammar when `Ali had sent him to Kufa to exhort them to fight (on `Ali's side). They said to him, "Since you have become a Muslim, we have never seen you doing a deed more criticizable to us than your haste in this matter." `Ammar said, "Since you (both) became Muslims, I have never seen you doing a deed more criticizable to me than your keeping away from this matter." Then Abu Mas`ud provided `Ammar and Abu Musa with two-piece outfits to wear, and one of them went to the mosque (of Kufa).
النص العربي
حَدَّثَنَا بَدَلُ بْنُ الْمُحَبَّرِ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو ، سَمِعْتُ أَبَا وَائِلٍ ، يَقُولُ : دَخَلَ أَبُو مُوسَى ، وَأَبُو مَسْعُودٍ ، عَلَى عَمَّارٍ حَيْثُ بَعَثَهُ عَلِيٌّ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ يَسْتَنْفِرُهُمْ ، فَقَالَا : مَا رَأَيْنَاكَ أَتَيْتَ أَمْرًا أَكْرَهَ عِنْدَنَا مِنْ إِسْرَاعِكَ فِي هَذَا الْأَمْرِ مُنْذُ أَسْلَمْتَ ، فَقَالَ عَمَّارٌ : "
مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْكُمَا مُنْذُ أَسْلَمْتُمَا أَمْرًا أَكْرَهَ عِنْدِي مِنْ إِبْطَائِكُمَا عَنْ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ ، وَكَسَاهُمَا حُلَّةً حُلَّةً ثُمَّ رَاحُوا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ
