أَخْبَرَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ الْحَكَمِ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ، عَنْ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ ، أَنَّهُ شَهِدَ عَلِيًّا وَعُثْمَانَ بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ ، وَعُثْمَانُ يَنْهَى عَنْ الْمُتْعَةِ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ عَلِيٌّ ،" أَهَلَّ بِهِمَا جَمِيعًا، فَقَالَ : لَبَّيْكَ بِحَجَّةٍ وَعُمْرَةٍ مَعًا ".
فَقَالَ : تَرَانِي أَنْهَى عَنْهُ وَتَفْعَلُهُ؟ فَقَالَ : لَمْ أَكُنْ لِأَدَعَ سُنَّةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِقَوْلِ أَحَدٍ مِنْ النَّاسِ

Sahl bin Hammad told us, Shu`bah told us, on the authority of Al-Hakam, on the authority of Ali bin Al-Hussein, on the authority of Marwan bin Al-Hakam, that he bore witness to Ali Othman was between Mecca and Medina, and Othman forbade Mut’ah, so when Ali saw that, he brought them all in, and said: Here is a proof. And Umrah together.”
He said: Do you think I forbade it and you do it? He said: I would not abandon the Sunnah of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, according to the words of any of the people.
