9 - قال: أخبرني أبو بكر محمد بن عمر الجعابي قال: حدثنا أبو الحسين العباس بن المغيرة قال: حدثنا أبو بكر أحمد بن منصور الرمادي قال: حدثنا سعيد بن عفير  قال: حدثني ابن لهيعة، عن خالد بن يزيد، عن ابن أبي هلال، عن مروان بن عثمان قال: لما بايع الناس أبا بكر دخل علي عليه السلام والزبير و المقداد بيت فاطمة عليها السلام، وأبوا أن يخرجوا، فقال عمر بن الخطاب: اضرموا عليهم البيت نارا ، فخرج الزبير ومعه سيفه، فقال أبو بكر: عليكم بالكلب، فقصدوا نحوه، فزلت قدمه وسقط إلى الأرض ووقع السيف من يده، فقال أبو بكر: اضربوا به الحجر، فضرب بسيفه الحجر حتى انكسر. وخرج علي ابن أبي طالب عليه السلام نحو العالية  فلقيه ثابت بن قيس بن شماس ، فقال: ما شأنك يا أبا الحسن؟ فقال: أرادوا أن يحرقوا علي بيتي وأبو بكر على المنبر يبايع له ولا يدفع عن ذلك ولا ينكره، فقال له ثابت: ولا تفارق كفي يدك حتى أقتل دونك، فانطلقا جميعا حتى عادا إلى المدينة وإذا فاطمة عليها السلام واقفة على بابها، وقد خلت دارها من أحد من القوم وهي تقول: لا عهد لي بقوم أسوا محضرا منكم، تركتم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم جنازة بين أيدينا وقطعتم أمركم بينكم لم تستأمرونا  وصنعتم بنا ما صنعتم ولم تروا لنا حقا. 

9. He said: Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Umar al-Ji’abi reported to me from Abu al-Husayn al-Abbas ibn al-Mughairah, who reported from Abu Bakr Ahmad ibn Mansoor al-Ramadi, who reported from Saeed ibn Ufayr who reported from Ibn Lah’eah, from Khalid ibn Yazeed, from Ibn Abi Hilal, from Marwan ibn Uthman who said: When people swore the allegiance on the hands of Abu Bakr, ‘Ali (as), al-Zubair and al-Miqdad entered the house of Fatimah, peace be upon her, and refused to come out. So, Umar ibn al-Khattab said: "Set the house on fire upon them." Then al-Zubair came out with his sword. So Abu Bakr said: "Catch this dog." As they advanced towards him, he (al-Zubair) slipped and fell and the sword fell off his hand. Then Abu Bakr said: "Hit him with the stone." Zubair hit the stone till it broke. ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) left the house from the direction of Aaliyah and met Thabit ibn Qays ibn Shammas. He said: "O Abul Hasan, what has happened to you?" He said: "They have resolved on burning down my house, while Abu Bakr is sitting on the pulpit, receiving allegiance, he neither prevents them for doing it nor is he condemning it." Thabit said: "My palm will not leave your hand, till I am killed by your side." So they moved forward together till they came back towards Madinah while Fatimah (peace be upon her) stood at her door, and all of the people had left her house. She was saying: "I have not known of an assembly of people worse than you; you left the messenger of Allah unattended, when his corpse lay before us; you resolved about your affairs among yourselves, refusing to seek our leadership; and you did to us what you did, and you recognized no right for us."
