، الإحتجاج رُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: كُنْتُ قَاعِداً عِنْدَ عَلِيٍّ ع حِينَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ طَلْحَةُ وَ الزُّبَيْرُ فَاسْتَأْذَنَاهُ فِي الْعُمْرَةِ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْذَنَ لَهُمَا وَ قَدْ قَالَ قَدِ اعْتَمَرْتُمَا فَأَعَادَا عَلَيْهِ الْكَلَامَ فَأَذِنَ لَهُمَا
(The book) ‘Al Ihtijaj’ of Al Tabarsy – It is reported from Ibn Abbas having said,
‘I was seated in the presence of Ali-asws when Talha and Al-Zubeyr entered to see him-asws. They sought permission regarding the Umrah, but he-asws refused to give permission to them, and had said: ‘You have already performed Umrah’. They reiterated ‘لْكَلَامَ’ the speech to him-asws, and he-asws permitted for them.
ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا يُرِيدَانِ الْعُمْرَةَ قُلْتُ فَلَا تَأْذَنْ لَهُمَا فَرَدَّهُمَا
‘Then he-asws turned towards me and said: ‘By Allah-azwj! They are not intending the Umrah’. I said, ‘Then why did you-asws give permission to them?’ He-asws (had them return).
ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا تُرِيدَانِ الْعُمْرَةَ وَ مَا تُرِيدَانِ إِلَّا نَكْثاً لِبَيْعَتِكُمَا وَ إِلَّا فُرْقَةً لِأُمَّتِكُمَا فَحَلَفَا لَهُ فَأَذِنَ لَهُمَا
Then he-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj! You are not intending the Umrah, and you are not intending except breaking your allegiances and only to divide your community. They swore on oath to him-asws (that they were intending Umrah). He-asws permitted for them.
ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا يُرِيدَانِ الْعُمْرَةَ قُلْتُ فَلِمَ أَذِنْتَ لَهُمَا قَالَ حَلَفَا لِي بِاللَّهِ
‘Then he-asws turned towards me and said: ‘By Allah-azwj! They are not intending the Umrah’. I said, ‘Then why did you-asws give permission to them?’ He-asws said: ‘They swore to me-asws by Allah-azwj’’.
قَالَ فَخَرَجَا إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَدَخَلَا عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَلَمْ يَزَالا بِهَا حَتَّى أَخْرَجَاهَا
He (Ibn Abbas) said, ‘They went out to Makkah and entered to see Ayesha and they did not cease to be with her until they brought her out’’.[1]
