Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Kitab al-Ghayba: The Book of Occultation Chapter 12: Disagreement among the Shia during the disappearance 1 - حدثنا محمد بن يعقوب قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم، عن أبيه، عن بن محبوب، عن يعقوب السراج وعن علي بن رئاب، عن أبي عبد الله أنه قال: لما بويع لأمير المؤمنين بعد مقتل عثمان صعد المنبر وخطب خطبة ذكرها يقول فيها: ألا إنّ بليّتكم قد عادت كهيئتِها يوم بعث الله نبيه .
(1) Muhammad bin Ya'qoob narrated from Ali bin Ibraheem from his father from bin Mahboob from Ya'qoob as-Sarraj and Ali bin Ri’ab that Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as) had said: When Amirul Mo'mineen (as) was paid homage as the caliph after Uthman had been killed, he ascended the minbar and made a speech. He said: “Your affliction became as it had been when Allah had sent His messenger Muhammad (as).
I swear by Him, Who has sent His messenger with the truth, that you will be confused and will be sifted until your notables become low and your lows become notable. Some of you, who have been indecent, will be virtuous and some, who have been virtuous, will be indecent. By Allah I have not hidden a truth nor have I told a lie.
(2) Muhammad bin Ya'qoob al-Kulayni narrated from some of his companions from Ahmad bin Muhammad that Ma’mar bin Khallad had said: I heard Abul Hasan (Imam Ali) (as) reciting, “Alif Lam Mim. Do men think that they will be left alone on saying, We believe, and not be tried (with sedition)? [^2] ” and then he asked: What is sedition?” I said: “May I die for you! We think that sedition is in religion.” He said: “People are tried as gold is tried.
