Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ عَنْ سُلَيْمِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ قَالَ كُنَّا مُعَسْكِرِينَ مَعَ مُعَاوِيَةَ بَعْدَ قَتْلِ عُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَامَ كَعْبُ بْنُ مُرَّةَ الْبَهْزِيُّ فَقَالَ لَوْلَا شَيْءٌ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا قُمْتُ هَذَا الْمَقَامَ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ بِذِكْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَجْلَسَ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلّ
َمَ إِذْ مَرَّ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ عَلَيْهِ مُرَجِّلًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَتَخْرُجَنَّ فِتْنَةٌ مِنْ تَحْتِ قَدَمَيْ أَوْ مِنْ بَيْنِ رِجْلَيْ هَذَا هَذَا يَوْمَئِذٍ وَمَنْ اتَّبَعَهُ عَلَى الْهُدَى قَالَ فَقَامَ ابْنُ حَوَالَةَ الْأَزْدِيُّ مِنْ عِنْدِ الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَالَ إِنَّكَ لَصَاحِبُ هَذَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَحَاضِرٌ ذَلِكَ الْمَجْلِسَ وَلَوْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ لِي فِي الْجَيْشِ مُصَدِّقًا كُنْتُ أَوَّلَ مَنْ تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ

English Translation
ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Mahdī narrated to us, Muʿāwiyah narrated to us, from Sulaym ibn ʿĀmir, from Jubayr ibn Nufayr, who said: We were encamped with Muʿāwiyah after the killing of ʿUthmān رضي الله عنه. Kaʿb ibn Murrah al-Bahzī stood up and said: 'Were it not for something I heard from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, I would not have stood in this place.' When the people heard the mention of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, they sat down. He said: 'While we were with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, ʿUthmān ibn ʿAffān رضي الله تعالى عنه passed by with his hair combed. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "A tribulation will certainly emerge from beneath the feet — or from between the legs — of this man. This man that day, and whoever follows him, will be upon guidance."' Ibn Ḥawālah al-Azdī stood up from near the minbar and said: 'You are indeed the one who said this.' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'By Allāh, I was indeed present at that gathering, and had I known that anyone in the army would believe me, I would have been the first to speak of it.'
