Narrated Ibn Al-Hanafiya:If `Ali had spoken anything bad about `Uthman then he would have mentioned the day when some persons came to him and complained about the Zakat officials of `Uthman. `Ali then said to me, "Go to `Uthman and say to him, 'This document contains the regulations of spending the Sadaqa of Allah's Apostle so order your Zakat officials to act accordingly." I took the document to `Uthman. `Uthman said, "Take it away, for we are not in need of it." I returned to `Ali with it and informed him of that. He said, "Put it whence you took it

Ibn Al-Hanafiya bataate hain: Agar Ali ne Uthman ke baare mein kuch bura kaha hota, to woh us din ka zikar karte jab kuch log unke paas aaye aur Uthman ke Zakat adhikariyon ki shikayat ki. Ali ne phir mujhse kaha, "Uthman ke paas jaao aur unse kaho, 'Yeh dastavez Allah ke Rasool ke Sadaqa kharch karne ke qawaanin rakhti hai, isliye apne Zakat adhikariyon ko iske mutabiq amal karne ka hukum den.'" Main woh dastavez Uthman ke paas le gaya. Uthman ne kaha, "Ise le jaao, kyunke humein iski zaroorat nahi." Main use lekar Ali ke paas wapas aaya aur unhe iske baare mein bataya. Unhone kaha, "Ise wahaan rakh do jahaan se tumne liya tha."
