1406. Narrated Zaid bin Wahab: "I passed by a place called Ar-Rabadha and by chance I met Abū D̄har رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ and asked him, "What has brought you to this place?" He said, "I was in Shām and differed with Mu'āwiya on the meaning of (the following Verses of the Qur'ān): 'And those who hoard up gold and silver (Al-Kanz - money, the Zakāt of which is not paid) and spend it not in the Way of Allāh.'" (V.9:34). Mu'āwiya said, "This Verse is revealed regarding the people of the Scriptures." I said, "It was revealed regarding us and also the people of the Scriptures." So we had a quarrel and Mu'āwiya sent a complaint against me to 'Uthmān رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ. 'Uthmān wrote to me to come to Al-Madīna, and I came to Al-Madīna. Many people came to me as if they had not seen me before. So, I told this to 'Uthmān who said to me, "You may depart and live nearby if you wish." That was the reason for my being here for even if an Ethiopian had been nominated as my ruler, I would have obeyed him.

1406 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ، سَمِعَ هُشَيْمًا، أَخْبَرَنَا حُصَيْنٌ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ: مَرَرْتُ بِالرَّبَذَةِ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِأَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: مَا أَنْزَلَكَ مَنْزِلكَ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: " كُنْتُ بِالشَّأْمِ، فَاخْتَلَفْتُ أَنَا وَمُعَاوِيَةُ فِي: {الَّذِينَ يَكْنِزُونَ الذَّهَبَ وَالفِضَّةَ وَلاَ يُنْفِقُونَهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ} [التوبة: 34] " قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ: نَزَلَتْ فِي أَهْلِ الكِتَابِ، فَقُلْتُ: " نَزَلَتْ فِينَا وَفِيهِمْ، فَكَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ فِي ذَاكَ، وَكَتَبَ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَشْكُونِي، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ عُثْمَانُ: أَنِ اقْدَمِ المَدِينَةَ فَقَدِمْتُهَا، فَكَثُرَ عَلَيَّ النَّاسُ حَتَّى كَأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَرَوْنِي قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَاكَ لِعُثْمَانَ " فَقَالَ لِي: إِنْ شِئْتَ تَنَحَّيْتَ، فَكُنْتَ قَرِيبًا، «فَذَاكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَنِي هَذَا المَنْزِلَ، وَلَوْ أَمَّرُوا عَلَيَّ حَبَشِيًّا لَسَمِعْتُ وَأَطَعْتُ»
