1. We were told by Ahmad bin Hasan al-Qattan, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Yahya bin Zakariya al-Qattan, that he said: We were told by Bikr bin Abdullah bin Habib, that he said: We were told by Hassaan bin Ali al-Mada’ini, that he said: We were told by Abbas bin Makram, from Sa’d al-Khaffaf, from Asbagh bin Nubata, that he said
Uthman bin Affan wrote, when he was surrounded, to Ali bin Abi Talib, peace be upon him: To proceed, the water has exceeded the zuba, the belt has reached the tubyayn, the matter has exceeded its extent with me, and I have been sought by those who do not repel from themselves.

حدثنا أحمد بن الحسن القطان، قال، حدثنا أحمد بن يحيى بن زكريا القطان، قال: حدثنا بكر بن عبد الله بن حبيب، قال: حدثنا حسان بن علي المدائني قال: حدثنا العباس بن مكرم، عن سعد الخفاف ، عن الأصبغ بن نباتة قال
