The reciter: Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna and Ibn Bashshar narrated to us. Ibn al-Muthanna said: Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us. Shu'bah narrated to us from Qatadah, who said: Abdullah ibn Shaqiq said:
`Uthman (رضي الله عنه) forbade tamattu` [in Haji] and `Ali (رضي الله عنه) enjoined it. ‘Uthman said to ‘Ali: You do such and such. Then ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: You know that we did tamattu` with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). [`Uthman] said: Yes, but we were afraid.
كان عثمان ينهى عن المتعة ، وكان عليّ يأمر بها ، فقال عثمان لعليٍّ: كلمةً ، ثمّ قال عليّ: لقد علمت أنّا قد تمتّعنا مع رسول الله صلّى الله عليه وسلّم ، فقال: أجل ، ولكنّا كنّا خائفين .
