He replied: "Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) has narrated to me a hadith which I myself heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace be upon him) said: 'You will certainly fight him, and you will be the oppressor against him.' So I will not fight him." Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Have you come to fight? You have come to reconcile between the people. Perhaps Allah, the Exalted, will settle this matter through you." He said: "I have sworn an oath not to fight." Sayyiduna Abdullah said: "(As expiation) free the slave named Jarjas and remain here until reconciliation is made between the people."

He granted him permission. He stood up, praised and glorified Allah, and said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "After me, you will fall into tribulation and disagreement."
