حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُوَاصِلُ مِنْ السَّحَرِ إِلَى السَّحَرِ
English Translation
It was narrated that Muhammad bin ‘Ali said: Some people came to `Ali (رضي الله عنه) and complained about `Uthman`s tax collector. My father said to me: take this letter to `Uthman (رضي الله عنه) and tell him: The people are complaining about your tax collector, and this is the instruction of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about collecting zakah, tell them to follow it. So I went to `Uthman and told him about that, He (the narrator) said: If he had wanted to say anything about `Uthman, he would have said it on that occasion - i.e., saying something bad.
