Narrated Saad Bin Ubaida: Abu Abdulrahman who was one of the supporters of Uthman said to Abu Talha who was one of the supporters of Ali; I perfectly know what encouraged your leader i.e. Ali to shed blood. I heard him saying: Once the Prophet ﷺ sent me and AlZubair saying; Proceed to such-and-such AlRoudah place where you will find a lady whom Hatib has given a letter. So when we arrived at AlRoudah; we requested the lady to hand over the letter to us. She said; Hatib has not given me any letter. We said to her. Take out the letter or else we will strip off your clothes. So she took it out of her braid. So the Prophet ﷺ sent for Hatib; who came and said; Dont hurry in judging me; for; by Allah; I have not become a disbeliever; and my love to Islam is increasing. The reason for writing this letter was that there is none of your companions but has relatives in Mecca who look after their families and property; while I have nobody there; so I wanted to do them some favor so that they might look after my family and property. The Prophet ﷺ believed him. Umar said; Allow me to chop off his i.e. Hatibs neck as he has done hypocrisy. The Prophet ﷺ said; to Umar ; Who knows; perhaps Allah has looked at the warriors of Badr and said to them ; Do whatever you like; for I have forgiven you. Abdulrahman added; So this is what encouraged him i.e. Ali.
