٣١١. وَقَالَ (عليه ‏السلام) لِأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، وَقَدْ كَانَ بَعَثَهُ إِلَى طَلْحَةَ وَالزُّبَيْرِ لَمَّا جَاءَ إِلَى الْبَصْرَةِ يُذَكِّرُهُمَا شَيْئاً مِمَّا سَمِعَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فِي مَعْنَاهُمَا، فَلَوَى عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ إِنِّي أُنْسِيتُ ذَلِكَ الْأَمْرَ.

Original English translation

311. When Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, came to Baṣrah he sent Anas ibn Mālik to Ṭalḥah and az-Zubayr to make them recall what he (Anas) himself had heard the Messenger of Allāh, peace be upon him and his descendants, say concerning them both, but he avoided doing so and when he came back to Amīr al-mu’minīn, he said that he had forgotten that matter.
