- ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us; ʿAlī ibn Ḥakīm al-Awdi related to me; Sharik related to us, from al-Ajlah, from Abū Mulaykah, who said: “When ʿUthmān sent to ʿAlī—may Allah have mercy on him—whatever share of the alternating stipend was due to him, the messenger found him wearing a coarse cloak wrapped round his waist, secured with an ʿiqāl (a camel-hobble rope), while he was smearing tar on one of his camels.”
٦٩٨ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ الْأَوْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنِ الْأَجْلَحِ، عَنْ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ قَالَ: «لَمَّا أَرْسَلَ عُثْمَانُ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ مَا فِي التَّعَاقُبِ وَجَدَهُ مُتَّزِرًا بِعَبَاءَةٍ مُحْتَجِزًا بِعِقَالٍ وَهُوَ يَهْنَأُ بَعِيرًا لَهُ»
