Hadith 24:82
Ibn Idris narrated to us, from Hassan ibn Furat, from his father, from Umayr ibn Sa’d, who said: When Ali returned from the Battle of the Camel and prepared for Siffin, the [tribe of] Nakha’ gathered until they entered upon al-Ashtar. He said, "Is there anyone in the house except a Nakha’i?" They said, "No." He said, "This nation has deliberately targeted its best [person] and killed him. We marched to the people of Basra, a people over whom we had a pledge of allegiance, and we were granted victory over them by their defeat. And you will march to the people of Sham, a people over whom you have no pledge of allegiance, so let every man among you look to where he places his sword."
حدثنا بن إدريس عن حسن بن فرات عن أبيه عن عمير بن سعد قال لما رجع علي من الجمل وتهيأ إلى صفين اجتمعت النخع حتى دخلوا على الأشتر فقال هل في البيت إلا نخعي قالوا لا قال إن هذه الأمة عمدت إلى خيرها فقتلته وسرنا إلى أهل البصرة قوم لنا عليهم بيعة فنصرنا عليهم بنكسهم وإنكم ستسيرون إلى أهل الشام قوم ليس لكم عليهم بيعة فلينظر امرؤ منكم أين يضع سيفه
