Lorsque Mohammad ibn Abi Bakr, gouverneur d'Égypte, fut submergé et tué

When Amīr al-mu’minīn appointed Muḥammad ibn Abi Bakr [1] Governor of Egypt and he was overpowered and killed, Amīr al-mu’minīn said :

"Et parmi ses paroles (que la paix soit sur lui) lorsqu'il a nommé Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr comme gouverneur de l'Égypte, il a dit : 'Je le nomme et je le destitue.'"

I had intended to send Hāshim ibn ‘Utbah to Egypt and had I done so he would have made way for the opponents nor given them time (to get hold of him). This is without reproach to Muḥammad ibn Abi Bakr as I loved him and had brought him up.
