And by this chain, from Abaan, from Abdul Rahmaan Bin Abu Abdullah, from Abu Al-Abbas Al-Makky who said: ‘I heard Abu Ja’far (asws) saying that: ‘Umar met Ali (asws), so he said to him (asws), ‘You (asws) are the one who is reciting this Verse: “[68:6] Which of you is afflicted with madness” and applying it to me and to my companion’.

He (asws) said to him: ‘Shall I not inform you of a Verse which has Descended about the Clan of Umayya: “[47:22] But if you held command, you were sure to make mischief in the land and cut off the ties of kinship”?’ So he said, ‘You (asws) are lying.

The Clan of Umayya are better at maintaining relations than you (asws) are, but you (asws) refuse to do anything except be inimical to the Clan of Taym (Abu Bakr’s tribe), and the Clan of Ady (Umar’s tribe), and the Clan of Umayya (Muawiya’s tribe)’. يخرجه - Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi (Sahih al-Kafi) ضعيف - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (15/248))
