3111. Narrated Ibn Al-Ḥanafiyya: If ‘Alī had spoken anything bad about ‘Uthmān رضي الله عنه then he would have mentioned the day when some persons came to him and complained about the Zakāt officials of ‘Uthmān. ‘Alī then said to me, “Go to ‘Uthmān and say to him, “This document contains the regulations of spending the Ṣadaqa of Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ. So, order your Zakāt officials to act accordingly.”” I took the document to ‘Uthmān. ‘Uthmān said, “Take it away, for we are not in need of it.” I returned to ‘Alī with it and informed him of that. He said, “Put it whence you took it.”
