Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ شَقِيقٍ كَانَ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَنْهَى عَنْ الْمُتْعَةِ وَعَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَأْمُرُ بِهَا فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ لِعَلِيٍّ قَوْلًا ثُمَّ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّا قَدْ تَمَتَّعْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَجَلْ وَلَكِنَّا كُنَّا خَائِفِينَ.
English Translation
It was narrated that Qatadah said. `Abdullah bin Shaqeeq said: `Hadrat Uthman used to forbid mut’ah (of Hajj, i.e., tamattu`) and ‘Ali used to enjoin it. `Hadrat Uthman said something to `Hadrat Ali, then `Hadrat Ali said: You know that we did tamattu` with the Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) . He said: Yes, but we were in a state of fear then.
