Words of Farah from Abu Ja’far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam
Al-Kāfi|Volume 8|Book 1|Chapter 215
حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْكِنْدِيِّ عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ الْفُضَيْلِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي فَرْوَةُ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ ذَاكَرْتُهُ شَيْئاً مِنْ أَمْرِهِمَا فَقَالَ ضَرَبُوكُمْ عَلَى دَمِ عُثْمَانَ ثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً وَ هُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ ظَالِماً فَكَيْفَ يَا فَرْوَةُ إِذَا ذَكَرْتُمْ صَنَمَيْهِمْ.
215. Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Al-Kiindy, from someone else from our companions, from Abaan Bin Uthman,, from Al-Fuzeyl Bin Al-zubeyr who said: Farwat narrated to me from Abu Ja’far عليه الصلاة والسلام. He said: ‘Remind me of something from the affairs of those two (Abu Bakr and Umar)’. So he عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘They have hit you upon the blood of Usman for eighty years, and they very well know that he was an unjust one. O Farwat, so how would it be if I عليه الصلاة والسلام mention to you their two idols (Abu Bakr and Umar)’.
