He wrote to him, ‘It has reached me what you have said on the pulpit of Egypt, and do not go that way.’ [19] Sermon of Amro Bin Al-Aas against Amir-Al-Momineen -asws أبان عن سليم قال: بلغ أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام أن عمرو بن العاص خطب الناس بالشام فقال: بعثني رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله على جيشه فيه أبو بكر وعمر، فظننت أنه إنما بعثني لكرامتي عليه. فلما قدمت قلت: يا رسول الله، أي الناس أحب إليك؟ فقال: (عائشة). قلت: ومن الرجال؟ قال: (أبوها).
Abaan from Sulaym who said, ‘It reached Amir-al-Momineen -asws that Amro Bin Al-Aas preached to the people in Syria saying, ‘Rasool-Allah -saww sent me to his -saww army in which were Abu Bakr and Umar, so I thought that he -saww had not sent me but to honour them. When I went to him -saww , I said, ‘O Rasool Allah -saww , who is the most beloved of the people to you -saww ?’ He -saww said, ‘Ayesha’. I said, ‘And who from the men?’ He -saww said, ‘Her father’.
أيها الناس، وهذا علي يطعن على أبي بكر وعمر وعثمان، وقد سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله يقول: (إن الله ضرب بالحق على لسان عمر وقلبه) وقال في عثمان: (إن الملائكة لتستحي من عثمان) O you people! And this Ali -asws who is denouncing Abu Bakr and Umar and Usman, and I have heard Rasool Allah -saww say that: ‘Allah -azwj had Struck the heart and tongue of Umar with the truth’, and he -saww said with regards to Usman that: ‘The Angels are embarrassed by Usman’.
