Abdul Hameed Bin Abi Al Hadeed said,

‘There was a group at Sana’a who was from the loyalists of Usman, considering his killing as
grievous. There neither happened to be any system for them nor any chief. They pledged
allegiance to Aliasws upon what was in themselves, and the office bearer for Ali asws upon
Sana’a in those days was Ubeydullah Bin Al-Abbas, and hisasws office bearer upon Al-Janad
was Saeed Bin Nimran.

When the people differed upon Aliasws at Al-Iraq, and Muhammad Bin Abu Bakr was killed at
Egypt, and the raids by the people of Syria were frequent, they spoke and claimed to seek
the blood of Usman, and they refused the charities, and manifested the opposition.
Ubeydullah and Saeed wrote that to Amir Al-Momineenasws. When their letters arrive, Aliasws
was hurt and angered, and heasws wrote to them: -

‘From a servant of Allahazwj, Aliasws Amir Al-Momineen, to Ubeydullah Bin Al-Abbas and
Saeed Bin Nimran: ‘Greetings be upon you both. Iasws praise Allahazwj to you Who, there is no
god Except Heazwj. As for after, your letter came to me mentioning in it the advent of these
Kharijites magnifying the small of its concerns, and multiplying into more its few numbers,

and Iasws know the choice of your hearts, and smallness of your selves, and the ruination of
your views, and your evil handling (of matters).

He is the one who spoil it upon you both, one who did not happen to be a spoiler upon you,
and was audacious upon you, one who used to be cowardly from meeting you (in battle). So
when myasws messenger comes to you, then continue to the group until you read out my asws
letter to them and call them to their fate and fear of their Lordazwj. If they answer, we shall
praise Allahazwj and accept them, and if they declare war, we shall seek Assistance with
Allahazwj against them and resist them upon the equality. surely Allah does not Love the
treacherous [8:58]’.

one being troublesome and treacherous, from the people of Al-Janad and Sana’a.

As for after, Iasws praise Allahazwj to you Who, there is no god except Heazwj, the One Who
there is nothing following Hisazwj Judgment nor any aversion to Hisazwj Decree, and there is
no averting His Wrath from the criminal people [6:147].

As for after, it has reached measws, your rallying, and your discord, and your objections about
your religion after the obedience, and giving the allegiance, and the affinity. I asws asked the
people of religion, the sincere, and the pious, the truthful, and correct understanding about
the beginning of your advent and what you are intending with it, and what has exasperated
(infuriated) you to it, and Iasws was narrated about that with what Iasws cannot see any clear
excuse for you regarding anything from it, nor any beautiful words, nor any apparent
argument.

When myasws messenger comes to you, then disperse (from revolt) and leave to your
belongings (go home), Iasws am pardoning you all; and fear Allahazwj and return to the
obedience, and Iasws am excusing your ignorance, and Iasws shall preserve from breaking you,

and Iasws shall stand among you with the fairness, and work among you with Judgments of

If you do not do so, then be prepared for the arrival of an army with a multitude of
horsemen, mighty generals aiming for the one who rebels and disobeys, and you would be
grinded like the grinding of the mill.

So the one who is good, it is for himself, and one who does evil, so it would be against him,
and your Lord is not the least unjust to the servants [41:46], or else should not be any
praising by a praising one except his Lordazwj, nor should any blamer blame except himself.
And the greetings be unto you all and Mercy of Allahazwj’.

And that group wrote to Muawiya informing him with what had transpired and (pledged)
their obedience to him. When their letter arrived, Muawiya called Busr Bin Artat Al-Aamiry,
and it is said it was Ibn Abi Artat, and he was on a hard heart, rough, shedder of blood.
There was neither any friendliness with him or mercy, and he instructed him that he take
the road of Al-Hijaz and Al-Medina and Makkah until he ends up to Al-Yemen.

And he said to him, ‘Do not descend to any city whose inhabitants are upon obedience to
Aliasws except you extend your tongue upon them until they realise there is rescue for them
and you have surrounded them. Then refrain from them and call them to pledge allegiance
to me. The one who refuses, kill him, and kill the Shias of Aliasws wherever they may be’.

And in another report, he sent Busr among three thousand and said, ‘Travel until you pass
by Al-Medina. Expel the people and frighten the ones you pass by, and plunder the wealth

When you enter Al-Medina, then show them that you want their souls, and inform them
that there is neither any freedom for them in your presence nor any excuse, until when they
think that you would be eradicating them, refrain from them. Then travel until you enter
Makkah, and do not expose yourself to anyone, and let the people be scared from you in
what is between Makkah and Al-Medina, and make them flee it, until you come to Sana’a
and Al-Janad, for there are loyalists for us over there, and their letter has come to me’.

So Busr travelled until he came to Al-Medina and ascended the pulpit, and threatened them
and promised them, and after the intercession, took from them the allegiance to Muawiya,

And he went to Makkah. When he was near to it, Qusam Bin Al-Abbas, office bearer of
Aliasws, fled from it and Busr entered it. He insulted the people of Makkah and warned them.
Then he went out from it employing Shayba Bin Usman (as a governor) upon it; and he
seized Suleyman and Dawood, two sons of Ubeydullah Bin Al-Abbas, and slaughtered them,
and he killed men in what is between Makkah and Al-Medina and seized their wealth.

Then he went out from Makkah, and he kept travelling and making mischief in the country
until he came to Sana’a; and Ubeydullah and Saeed fled from it, and a lot of people were
killed in it. And this is how there was mischief in the country.

Aliasws assigned hisasws companions to send a battalion in the tracks of Busr, but they were
sluggish, and Jariyah Bin Qudama answered him. Heasws sent him among two thousand. He
went to Al-Basra, then took the road of Al-Hijaz until he arrived at Yemen and asked about
Busr. It was said, ‘He has seized upon the city of the clan of Tameem’. He said, ‘He has taken
regarding house of a people who cannot defend themselves’.

And it (news) reached Busr of the travel of Jariyah, so he rolled down to Al-Yamama, and
Jariyah took to the travelling. He did not turn to any city he passed by nor any people of a
fortress, nor ascend upon anything except some of his companions ran out of provision. So,
he ordered his companions with the sharing; or a camel of a man would fall down, or his
animal would die, so he instructed his companions with leaving it, until he ended up to the
land of Yemen.

Loyalists of Usman fled from it until they joined up with the mountain, and Shias of Aliasws
pursued them and pounced upon them from every side and attained (killed) from them.

And Jariyah passed by towards Busr, and Busr was fleeing from a direction to a direction
until he threw him out from the offices of Aliasws, all of them. When he had done that with
him, Jariyah stood at Harasa approximately a month until he had rested and rested his
companions.

And the people leapt (away from) Busr in his way when he left from in front of Jariyah, due
to his evil ways, and his rudeness, and his injustices, and his cheating, and the clan of
Tameem were hit by a heavy toll in their city.

When Busr returned to Muawiya, he said, ‘Praise Allah azwj, O commander of the faithful! I
travelled in this army (and) I killed your enemies going and coming. No man from them had
any calamity’. Muawiya said, ‘Allahazwj Did that, not you’. And the ones who Busr killed in

the fire’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘And Aliasws supplicated against Busr. Heasws said: ‘O Allahazwj! Busr

transgressing people, preferring with him than obeying You azwj. O Allahazwj! Do not Kill him

Busr did not live after that except a little, until he deteriorated and his intellect was gone,
and he used to ramble and say, ‘Give me a sword I can be killed with!’ He did not cease
repeating that until a wooden sword was taken for him, and they were coming near him
with the supplies. He did not cease to strike (himself) with it until there was
unconsciousness upon him. He remained like that until he died’’.1

And it is reported from Al Waleed Bin Hisham who said,

he continued intending Al-Yemen. When he crossed over Makkah, Qusam Bin Al-Abbas
returned to Makkah and overcame upon it.

And it so happened that whenever Busr was nearby a house, a man from his companions
would go ahead until he came to the people of water. He greeted and said, ‘What are you
saying this one killed yesterday, Usman?’ If they said, ‘He was killed oppressed’. He did not
object to them. And if they said, ‘He was deserving of the killing’. He would said, ‘Place the
weapons among them!’

He did not cease to be upon that until he entered Sana’a. Ubeydullah Bin Al-Abbas fled from
it, and he was a governor for Aliasws upon it, and he made Umar Bin Arakah a replacement.
Busr seized him and struck off his neck. And he seized two sons of Ubeydullah and
slaughtered them upon a step of Sana’a, and he slaughtered in their tracks one hundred

And by his chain from Al Kalby, and Lut Bin Yahya,

‘Ibn Qays arrived to Aliasws and informed himasws with the advent of Busr. Aliasws called out
among the people but they were sluggish from himasws. Heasws said: ‘Are you intending that
Iasws should go out myselfasws in a battalion to pursue a battalion in the deserts and the
mountains? By Allahazwj! The ones with intelligence and merit are gone from you, those who
were called so they answered, and they were ordered so they obeyed. Iasws am thinking of
getting out from you all. Iasws will not see any help from you for as long as the new ones are
differing!’

And heasws despatched two thousand (soldiers) with him. And one of them said, ‘One

bade him farewell, heasws said: ‘Fear Allahazwj, the One to Whom you are destined, and
neither belittle any Muslim, nor any agreement, nor usurp wealth, nor children, nor animal,
and even if you are bare-footed and walking, and pray Salat to its timings’.

Jariyah arrived at Al-Basra and combined to him similar to the ones who were with him.
Then he took to the road of Al-Hijaz until he arrived at Al-Yemen; and he neither usurped
anyone, nor did he kill anyone except a group at Al-Yemen which had turned apostate. He
killed them and burnt them, and asked about the road taken by Busr. They said, ‘He took to

defend themselves’. Then Jariyah left and stayed at Harasa’’.3

Ibrahim said, ‘And from a Hadeeth of the people of Kufa, from Numeyr Bin Waila, from Abu Al Waddak who
said,

‘Zurara Bin Qays arrived and informed Aliasws with the advent in which Busra had come out.
Heasws ascended the pulpit, praised Allahazwj and extolled upon Himazwj, then said: ‘As for
after, O you people! First are your divisions and your deficiencies begun! The ones with
intellect and the people of views are gone from you, those who met so they gave charity,
and they spoke so they were establishing justice, and they were called so they answered,
and Iasws, by Allahazwj, have called you repeatedly, and initiating, and secretly, and openly,
and during the night, and the day, and morning, and evening, but my asws call did not
increase you except in fleeing and turning around.

‫ َو لَ ِك ْن‬،‫ُصلِ ُح ُك ْم بَِف َس ِاد نَ ْف ِسي‬ ِ ِ ِ ِ ‫اَل ِِبا ي‬ ِ ِ ‫اْلِك‬ ِ َ ‫أَ ما تَنْ َف ُع ُكم الْعِظَةُ و الد‬

Isn’t the preaching and the calling benefitting you to the guidance and the wisdom? And
Iasws well know what would correct you and establish your trusts, but, by Allah azwj, Iasws will
not correct you by spoiling myselfasws, but respite measws a little. By Allahazwj! It is as if you
are with a person who has come to you, depriving you and punishing you, so Allah azwj
Punishes him just as he punishes Yourazwj (servants).

Surely, from the disgrace of the Muslims and destruction of the religion is that the son of
Abu Sufyan is called in the despicable evil ones, and he is answered, and I asws am calling you
all, and you are the meritorious ones, the choicest, and you are holding off. This is not a
deed of the pious!

He (the narrator) said, ‘The people were silent for a while, not talking. Heasws said: ‘What is
the matter with you all, are you mute that you are not speaking?’ Heasws mentioned about
Al-Haris Bin Haseyra, about Musafir Bin Afeef.

He (the narrator) said, ‘Abu Burdah Bin Awf Al-Azdy stood up and said, ‘If youasws travel, O
Amir Al-Momineenasws, we shall travel with youasws!!’ Heasws said: ‘O Allahazwj! What is the

measws than Iasws go out in the likes of this?! But rather he should go out in the likes of this, a
man from the ones you are pleased with, from your horsemen and your braves.

And it is not befitting for measws and Iasws should leave Al-Janad, and Egypt, and the public
treasury, and levies of the land, and the judging between the Muslims, and the
consideration regarding rights of the people, then Iasws should go out in a battalion pursuing
another one in the wilderness and mountain ridges. By Allah azwj, this is the evil view.

By Allahazwj! Had it not been for my desire of the martyrdom during meeting them (in
battle), if only meeting them (in battle) would have been warmed up for measws, Iasws would
have gone near my stirrups, then gone away from you. Iasws would not seek you for as long
as the south and north are different. By Allah azwj! In separating from you all is rest for the
soul and the body’.

the pulpit and called Jariyah and instructed him to travel to Al-Basra.

He went out from it among two thousand and two thousand were delegated with Al-
Khas’amy from Al-Kufa, and heasws said to them both: ‘Go out in seeking Busr until you come
across him, and wherever you come across him, battle him. So, when you two meet
(combine forces), then Jariyah (is the commander) upon the people (army)’. They both went
out and met in the land of Al-Hijaz, and went in the search for Busr’’.4

heasws sent me with a letter in the tracks of Jariyah Bin Qudamah before it had reached him
that Busr had prevailed upon Sana’a and expelled Ubeydullah from it, and Ibn Nimran.

And from Fuzeyl Bin Khadeej who said,

‘Wa’il Bin Hujr was in the presence of Aliasws at Al-Kufa, and he used to view the view of
Usman, so he sought permission of Aliasws to go to his city, then he would return to him
soon. He went out to the city of his people, and he was of great glory among, and the
people were of two parties at it – followers of (Usman) who viewed the view of Usman, and
another was viewing the view of Aliasws.

Wa’il was over there until Busr entered Sana’a. He wrote to him, ‘As for after, the loyalists
of Usman at our city are half its people, so proceed to us for there isn’t any man at
Hazramaut who will repel you from it’. So, Busr came back to it with the ones with him until
he entered it. He claimed that Wa’il would welcome Busr, and he gave him ten thousand,
and he spoke to him regarding (the situation in) Hazramaut.

He said to him, ‘What do you want?’ He said, ‘I want to kill a quarter of Hazramaut’. He said,
‘If that is what you want, then kill Abdullah Bin Sawabah, a man among them’, and he was
from the great contractors and was an enemy to him, an oppressor in his view.

Busr came to him until he besieged his fortress, and it was of a wondrous construction,
there was none like it in that time. He called him to him to descended, and he had granted
him amnesty. When he did descend, he said, ‘Strike off his neck!’ He said to him, ‘You want

And it reached Aliasws, the backing of Wa’il Bin Hujr, loyalist of Usman, against his asws Shias,
and his contract with Busr, so he withheld his children with him’.

And from Abdul Rahman Bin Ubeyd, ‘Jariyah quickened the travel in seeking Busr, not
turning towards any city he passed by, nor people of any fortress until he ended up to the
country of Al-Yemen. The loyalists of Usman fled and went up the mountain, and the Shias
of Aliasws pursued at that, and called out to them from every side, and killed from them.

and continued towards Busr.

Busr went away from Hazramaut when it reached him that the army had come, and he took
to the road of Al-Jowf and left the road which he had come from. And that reached Jariyah,
so he pursued him until he expelled him from Al-Yemen, all of it, and his incidents in the
land of Al-Hijaz. When he had done that with him, he stayed at Harasa for approximately a
month until he rested, and rested his companions; and he asked about Busr, it was said that
he was at Makkah, so he travelled towards him.

And people leapt (away from) Busr when he left, due to his evil conduct, and the people
avoided the springs of the road, and the people fled from him due to his treachery and his
injustices.

And Jariyah came back until he entered Makkah, and Busr went out from it going in the
direction of Al-Yamama. Jariya stood upon the pulpit of Makkah and said, ‘You pledge
allegiance to Muawiya?’ They said, ‘We were forced’. He said, ‘I fear that you might become
from those Allahazwj Said regarding them: And when they are meeting those who believe,
they are saying: We believe; and when they are alone with their Satans, they are saying:
We are with you all, but rather we were only mocking [2:14]. Arise and pledge allegiance!’

He said, ‘What else can you do except pledge allegiance for Al-Hassanasws Bin Aliasws? Arise
and pledge allegiance’. Then the Shias of Aliasws gathered and pledge allegiance. And he
went out from it and entered Al-Medina, and they had agreed upon Abu Hureyra to be
praying Salat (leading) the people. When the coming of Jariyiah reached them, they
concealed Abu Hureyra.

Ubeydullah Bin Al-Abbas and Saeed Bin Nimran. They have arrived fleeing to me asws, and
Iasws do not see them except as being backers against you, for their gathering upon their

the Momin should worship his Lordazwj during it, and the immoral would be working in it to

Ugh to the life during a time Al-Zahhak is audacious upon youasws, and what is Al-Zahhak?
May he burst at Qarqar! When that reached me, I imagined that your asws Shias and yourasws
helpers have abandoned youasws. So write to me, O sonasws of my motheras, with yourasws
view. If it was the death youasws wanted, I shall carry the sons of yourasws brother to youasws,
so we can live with youasws what for as long as youasws live, and die with youasws when youasws
die.

As for after, may Allahazwj Protect us and you with a Protection of the one who fears Him azwj
in private, Heazwj Praise-worthy, Glorious. Your letter arrived to measws with Abdul Rahman
Bin Ubeyd Al-Azdy, mentioning in it that you met Abdullah Bin Sa’ad Bin Abu Sarh face to
face from Qudeyd, among approximately forty horsemen from the sons of the liberated
ones (at the conquest of Makkah), heading towards the western direction.

And that Ibn Abu Sarh has for long plotted against Allah azwj, and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww and Hisazwj
book, and hindered from Hisazwj Way, and sought it to be crooked. So, leave Ibn Abu Sarh
and leave Quraysh from you, and isolate from them and their running in the straying and
their wandering in the wretchedness.

Indeed! And the Arabs have united in declaring wars against your brotherasws today. They
had united upon (staging) wars (against) the Prophetsaww before today, so they have become
ignoring hisasws rights and rejecting hisasws merits, and they have manifested the enmity and
installed the war against himasws, and have struggle against himasws with every struggle and
have dragged to himasws the allied army.

O Allahazwj! Recompense Quraysh on myasws behalf a Recompense, for they had cut-off
myasws relationship, and have back each other against measws, and pushed measws away from
myasws rights, and have stripped measws of the authority of the sonsaww of myasws uncleas, and
submitted that to the one who isn’t like measws in myasws kinship with the Rasoolsaww, and
myasws precedence in Al-Islam, except that he is making a claim Iasws do not recognise it, nor
do Iasws think Allahazwj Recognises it, and the Praise is for Allahazwj upon every state.

And as for what you mentioned from the raids of Al-Zahhak upon the people of Al-Hira, it is
less and humbling to anguish with it or go near to it, but he had come among a battalion of
a cavalry, so he seized upon Al-Samawah until he passed by Waqisah and Shuraf, and Al-
Qutqutanah, so he did not rule that territory. Iasws have sent an intense army from the
Muslims to him. When that reached him, he fled fleeing. They pursued him and caught up
with him in one of the roads, and he had been careful.

And that happened when the sun floated for the return. So the battle was a little skirmish.
So, never, and no, he was not patient for the occurrence of supervision and turned around
fleeing, and some ten men from his companions were killed, after having seized him by the
throat, so it was on his last breath that he survived

And as for what you asked measws that Iasws should write to you with myasws view regarding
(the predicament) Iasws am in. Myasws view is to fight the cunning until Iasws meet Allahazwj.
The abundance of the people with measws does not increase measws in honour, nor is their
separating from myasws loneliness, because Iasws am rightful and Allahazwj is with the rightful.

And as for request with sending to measws your sons and sons of your fatheras, so there is no
need for measws regarding that. Stay (where you are) guided, praised. By Allah azwj! Iasws do
not love them to die with measws when Iasws die, nor do Iasws reckon the sonasws of your
motheras scared, nor beseeching, and even if the people submit himasws (to the enemy).

Heasws is like what the brother of the clan of Suleym said, ‘If you were to ask me, ‘How are
you?’ So, I am patient upon the doubts of a difficult time period. It is dear unto me that you
seem gloom with me, so either revile an enemy or offend a beloved’’.11

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It is reported by the Seyyid in (the book) ‘Al-Nahj (Al-Balagah)’, part of this letter is like
this,

‘(Imam Aliasws said): Iasws sent an intense army from the Muslims to him. When that reached
him, he panicked fleeing, and withdrew regretful. They caught up with him in one of the
roads, and the sun had started to set. They fought a little and not, and it did not happen
except like pausing for an hour, until he rescued himself when he was half dead, after
having being seized by the neck, and there did not remain from him apart from the last
breath. In this way he escaped in panic.

So, leave Quraysh from you and their sprinting into the straying, and their wandering in the
wretchedness, and their leaping into the destruction, for they have united upon warring
(against) measws, like their uniting upon warring Rasool-Allahsaww before measws. May Quraysh
be Recompensed on myasws behalf the Recompense. They have cut-off myasws kinship and
have stripped measws of the authority of the sonsaww of myasws uncleas.

And as for what you asked about of myasws view regarding the battle. Myasws view is that Iasws
should fight the cunning until Iasws meet Allahazwj. The abundance of the people around
measws does not increase measws in honour, nor does their dispersing from measws makes
measws lonely, nor reckon the sonasws of your fatheras to be pleading, scared and even if the
people submit himasws (to the enemy), nor with heasws accept to be a weak person, nor be
chained by reins to the leader, nor bend the back for the rider to sit upon, but heasws is as
the brother of the clan of Suleym said’ – and heasws mentioned the couplets’’.12

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It is reported by Ibn Abi Al Hadeed, from Kitab al Gharaat of Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Al
Saqafy, just as he had reported it in the original of his book, it is reported by his chain, from Jundab Al Azdy,
from his father having said,

‘The first raid which took place at Al-Iraq was the raid of Al-Zahhak Bin Qays, after the
(arbitration of) the two judges, and before the battle of Al-Nahrawan, and that is because
Muawiya, when it reached him that Aliasws, after the incident of the two judges, heasws was
coming to face him, that terrified him. He went out of Damascus in an army and sent a
message to the masses of Syria. It was shouted therein, ‘Aliasws has travelled towards you!’

ِ ‫ني َُي ُكم‬ ِِ ِ ِ ‫ فَِإنَّا ُكنَّا َكتبنَا ب ينَنَا و ب‬،‫َّاس؛ أ ََّما ب ع ُد‬ ِ
‫ان َعلَْينَا‬ ِ َّ

،‫ث الْ َع ْه َد‬ ِ َ‫و َعلَْي ِه ِِبُ ْك ِم الْ ِكت‬
َ

And he wrote out one copy to them and it was read out to the people, ‘As for after, we had
written an agreement between us and Aliasws, and had stipulated conditions in it, and we
had got two men to judge upon us and himasws with judgment of the Book, not transgressing
it, and we made a Pact of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Covenant upon the one who broke the pact.

‫ث َعلى نَ ْف ِس ِه» ََتَ َّهُزوا‬ ِ ِ ِ

َ ‫ «فَ َم ْن نَ َك‬،ً‫ َو قَ ْد أَقْ بَ َل إِلَيْ ُك ْم ظَالما‬،ُ‫ َو إِ َّن َح َك َمهُ َخلَ َعه‬،‫ت َح َّك ْمتُهُ أَثْبَتَِِن‬

َ ‫قاَل َو ُك َس‬ ِ ‫لِلْحر‬

And the judgment was not accomplished, and my judgment which was judged was to affirm
me (as ruler of Syria), and that hisasws judgment was to vacate himasws (from being a caliph),
and heasws is coming to you all as an oppressor. So the one who breaks, is rather breaking
against himself, [48:10]. Prepare for the war with an excellent preparation, and equip with
the tools of the battle, and Advance lightly and heavily, [9:41], carefully and actively.
Allahazwj will Ease for us and you to the righteous deeds!’

The people gathered to him from every village, and they wanted the travel to Siffeen. He
consulted them and they differed in that. They remained reverberating the view for two
days or three, until their informant arrived to them, ‘ (as for) Aliasws, hisasws companions had
differed against himasws and a sect has separated from himasws denying the orders of the
arbitration, and heasws has returned from you all to them’.

had faced from between them.

Muawiya did not cease be in the army camp in his place until the news came that Ali asws had
killed those Kharijites, and after having killed them, heasws wanted the people come back to
himasws, and they awaited (sat back from) himasws and repelled himasws. He (Muawiya) and
the people in front of him were cheered by that (piece of News).

‫غ َعلِ ٌّي ِم ْن‬ ُ ‫ َو َْْن ُن ُم َع ْس َكُرو َن َم َع ُم َعا ِويَةَ نَتَ َخ َّو‬،‫اب عُ َم َارةَ بْ ِن عُ ْقبَةَ بْ ِن أَِِب ُم َعْي ٍط ِم َن الْ ُكوفَِة‬

And from Abdul Rahman Bin Mas’ada who said, ‘A letter of Umarah Bin Uqba Bin Abu
Mueet came to us from Al-Kufa, and we were soldiers with Muawiya. We were scared that
Aliasws would be free from the Kharijites, then heasws would come back to us.

And it was in his letter, ‘As for after, Aliasws, the elite of hisasws companions and their
ritualists/worshipers have come out to himasws, so heasws killed them, and they have spoilt
hisasws army upon himasws and the people of hisasws city, and the enmity has occurred
between them, and they have separated with severe separation, so I loved to inform you.
And the greetings’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘Muawiya read it out to his brother and to Abu Al-Awr. Then he
looked at his brother Al-Waleed Bin Uqba and said, ‘Your brother is pleased that there
happen to be spies for us’. Al-Waleed laughed and said, ‘Surely in that as well is a benefit’.

During that, Muawiya called Al-Zahhak Bin Qays Al-Fihry and said to him, ‘Travel until you
pass by in the direction of Al-Kufa and raise away from it what you came. The one from the
Bedouins whom you find to be in obedience of Aliasws, raid upon him, and if you find armed
men or cavalry, raid upon them; and when you wake up in the morning in one city, then
spend the evening in another, and do not stay for any cavalry to reach you from it, it would
be discharged towards you to meet you, so battle it’. So, he went among what is between
three thousand to four thousand.

Al-Zahhak came to plunder the wealth and kill the ones from the Bedouins he met, until he
passed by Sa’albiya, he raided upon the pilgrims and seized their belongings. Then he came

people from his companions were (also) killed.

Then heasws descended and went out walking until heasws reached Al-Ghariyeyn. Then heasws

He did not cease going in the tracks of Al-Zahhak until he met him in an area of ruined

killed, and two men were killed from the companions of Hujr, and the night was a hindrance
between them. Al-Zahhak went away. When they woke up in the morning they could not

And Ibn Abi Al Hadeed said as well, ‘It is mentioned by the author of Kitab Al Gharaat,

‘Al-Numan Bin Bashir arrived, he and Abu Hureyra, to Aliasws from the presence of Muawiya,
after Abu Muslim Al-Khowlany, asking himasws to hand over the killers of Usman to Muawiya
in order to confine them due to Usman. And rather they intended that the people of Syria
could testify against himasws with that and hisasws excuse would be revealed.

When they both came to himasws and delivered the message, heasws said to Numan: ‘Narrate
to measws about yourself, are you the most guided of your people of the (right) way?’ –
meaning the Helpers. He said, ‘No’. Heasws said: ‘All of your people have followed measws
except three or four rogues from them. So, do you happen to be from the rogues?’

Al-Numan said, ‘May Allahazwj Keep youasws well! But rather, I have come to be with youasws,
and I am eager that Allahazwj the Exalted would Flow the reconciliation to be between you
two. So, if yourasws view happens to be other than that, Iasws shall stick to youasws’.

Al-Numan stood up and met Abu Hureyra at Syria, and after some months, Al-Numan fled
from himasws to Syria. Malik Bin Ka’ab Al-Arhaby seized him in the road, and he was an office
bearer of Aliasws at Ayn Al-Tamr. (Clan of) Qarzah pleaded and interceded for him in the
presence of Malik Bin Ka’ab until he freed his way, and he arrived to Muawiya and informed
with what he had faced, and did not cease to be with him.

When Zahhak Bin Qays invaded the land of Iraq, Muawiya sent Al-Numan with a thousand
men and advised him that he should keep away from the cities and the communities, and
that he should not raid upon any armed people, and that he should hasten the return. Al-
Numan came back until he was near to Ayn Al-Tamr, and Malik was at it, and there used to

Kufa.

There did not remain with him except a hundred of approximate to it. Malik wrote to Ali asws.
Heasws ascended the pulpit, praised Allahazwj and extolled upon Himazwj, then said: ‘O people
of Al-Kufa! When the eagle from the eagles of the people of Syria descends upon you, you
hide in your houses and close your doors, (like) the hiding of the antelope in its burrow, and
the hyena in its lair.

The disgraced, by Allahazwj, is the one whom you help, and the one who is thrown by you
from above to the bottom. Ugh to you all! Iasws have faced grief from you!! Woe be unto you
all! One day Iasws whisper to you, and one day Iasws call out to you, but there is no freedom

By Allahazwj! Iasws had wished with you, (but) you are deaf, not hearing, mute, not using
intellects, blind, not seeing!! So, the Praise is for Allahazwj Lordazwj of the worlds.

Woe be unto you! May Allahazwj Guide you, go out to Malik Bin Ka’ab, your brother. Al-
Numan Bin Bashir has descended with him among a crowd from the people of Syria. It isn’t a
lot, so get up to go to your brother, perhaps Allah azwj will Cut-off a side of the Kafirs by you!’
Then heasws descended.

But they did not go out. Heasws sent a message to their (well known) faces and their elders

anything; and a small number from them gathered, about three hundred or less than it.

Udayy Bin Hatim stood up and said, ‘By Allahazwj! This is the abandonment. This is not what
we pledged allegiance to Amir Al-Momineenasws upon’. Then he entered to see himasws and
said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! There are a thousand men from (the clan of) Al-Tayy, they
will not disobey me. If youasws so desire for me to travel with them, I will travel’.

And it is reported by Abdullah Bin Jowrah Al Azdy who said,

‘I was with Malik Bin Ka’ab when Al-Numan descended with us (with his army), and he was
among two thousand, and we were not except a hundred. He said to us, ‘Fight them in the
town and make the wall to be in your back, and cast not yourselves to destruction with
your own hands, [2:195], and know that Allahazwj would Help the ten against the hundred,
and the hundred against the thousand, and the few against the more’.

Qarzah Bin Ka’ab, and Mikhnaf Bin suleym, so sprint to them and let them know of our

He passed by Qarzah and shouted to him. He said, ‘I am in charge of the taxation and there
isn’t anyone with me I can help with it’. He went too Mikhnaf, and he sent with me Abdul

his companions up to late afternoon, and (for) him and his companions, the coverings of
their swords were broken and they faced the death, had we been delayed from them.

It was not except that the people of Syria saw us, and we had faced towards them. They
took to turning back from them and rising up, and Malik and his companions saw us so they
were severe upon them until they pushed them away from the town. We surveyed them
and we had killed three men from them. The group thought that there was help for us, and
the night formed a barrier between us and them. They left to go to their land.

And Malik wrote to Aliasws, ‘As for after, Al-Numan Bin Bashir had descended with us among
a crowd from the people of Syria like the prevailing upon us, and the greatness of my
companions was scattered, and we were like those who were secured from them. We
brought out to them shining men and they fought them until the evening, and we shouted
to Mikhnaf Bin Suleym (for help), and he sent men from the Shias of Amir Al-Momineenasws
and his sons. Good were the youths and good were the helpers.

And from Abu Salih Al Hanafy who said,

‘I saw Aliasws addressing, and heasws had placed the Quran upon hisasws head to the extent
that the pages were seen (heard) rattling upon hisasws head. Heasws said: ‘O Allahazwj! They
have refused measws of what is in it, so Give measws what is in it! O Allahazwj! Iasws hate them
and they hate measws, and Iasws am tired of them and they are tired of measws, and they have
carried measws other than myasws manners and my habits and morals. There does not happen
to be any recognition for measws!

And it is reported by Muhammad Bin Furat Al Jurmy,

‘From Zayd son of Aliasws (Bin Al-Husaynasws) who said, ‘Aliasws said in this sermon: ‘O you
people! Iasws am calling you to the truth but you are turning away from me and I asws strike
you with the twig, but you are faulting measws. But, such rulers will be ruling you who will not
be pleased from you with that until they punish you with the whips and the iron!

As for Iasws, so Iasws shall not punish you with these two as the one who punishes the people
in the world, Allahazwj would Punish him in the Hereafter, and a sign of that is that the ruler
of Al-Yemen will come to you until he permeates (disintegrate) in your midst. He will seize
the office bearers, and workers of the office bearers, a man called Yusuf Bin Umar, and
during that a man from usasws, Peopleasws of the Household would rise, so help himasws, for
heasws would be calling to the truth’.

And Ibn Abi Al Hadeed said, ‘It is copied from Kitab Al Gharaat of Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Al Saqafy, and I
found it in the original of his book as well, reported by his chain from Amro Bin Mihsan,

‘When Muhammad Bin Abu Bakr was killed at Egypt, Muawiya sent Abdullah Bin Aamir Al-
Hazramy to the people of Al-Basra to call them to himself and to seek the blood of Usman.
When he came to them and read out to them the letter of Muawiya, they differed. Some of
them rejected and most of them accepted and obeyed.

And it so happened that the governor upon Al-Basra on that day was Ziyad Bin Ubeyd.
Abdullah Bin Al-Abbas had appointed him, and he went to Aliasws to console himasws about
Muhammad Bin Abu Bakr. When Ziyad saw the people coming back to Ibn Al-Hazramy, he
sought shelter from Al-Azd and descended among them and wrote to Ibn Abbas and
informed him with what had transpired.

happened from that, and hisasws companions differed, among the zealots he had sent to
them.

Then Ibn Abi Al-Hadeed said, ‘And it is reported by Al-Waqidi (wahabi imam) that Aliasws
mobilised the clan of Tameem for days to get them up to go to Al-Basra, one who could
suffice himasws with the matter of Ibn Al-Hazramy, and the clan of Tameem, those who had
sheltered at it, responded with their habitual response and no one answered him asws.

Heasws addressed them and said: ‘It is not from the surprises that the (clan of) Al-Azd is
helping measws and (the clan of) Muzar is abandoning measws. And more surprising from that
is (the clan of) Tameed sitting back from measws at Al-Kufa, and the opposition of (clan of)
Tameem at Al-Basra against measws, and that Iasws can rally with a party from that, not one of
them rose up to measws. They are called to the guidance, so either they answer, or else it is
the fighting and the war.

It is as if Iasws am addressing to the deaf, mute, neither understanding any dialogue nor
answering any calling. All that is shunning from the battle and love for the life!

And we were with Rasool-Allahsaww, killing our own fathers, and our sons, and our brothers,
and our uncles, but that did not increase us except in Eman and submission, and
continuance upon (chewing) the morsels, and combating upon the anguish of the pains, and
efforts in fighting the enemy.

And the man from us and the other from our enemies would compete like the competing of
two stallions, and being sincere with themselves which of them would make his counterpart
to drink the cup of death. Sometimes it would be for us rather than our enemies, and
sometimes it would be for our enemies rather than us.

down the Help upon us, until Al-Islam was settled, laying down its sides and resting in its
homelands.

He (the narrator) said, ‘Ayn Bin Zubiya stood up to himasws and said, ‘I shall suffice youasws, if
Allahazwj so Desires, O Amir Al-Momineenasws! This is the preaching. I shall take responsibility
for youasws of killing Ibn Al-Hazramy, or expelling him from Al-Basra’. Heasws instructed him
with the preparation for the departure. He departed until he arrived at Al-Basra.

We return to the report of Al-Saqafy, ‘Ibrahim said, ‘When he arrived at it, he entered to see
Ziyad, and he was staying at Al-Ahwaz. He was welcoming with him and seated him to his
side. He informed him with what Aliasws had said to him. And he was speaking to him when a
letter from Aliasws came to him.

In it was: ‘In the Name of Allahazwj the Beneficent, the Merciful. From a servant of Allah azwj
Amir Al-Momineen Aliasws, to Ziyad Bin Ubeyd. Greetings be unto you! As for after, Iasws have
sent Ayn Bin Zubiya in order to separate his people from Ibn Al-Hazramy, so watch was
happens from him. If he does so and it reached from that what he is thinking of, and during
that the separation happens of those noisy crowds, it would be what we love.

And if the affairs of the people return to the discord and the disobedience, then go with the
ones who obey to you and fight them the ones who disobey you - either you win, and it is
what Iasws am thinking, or else be forbearing with them and overlook them. It is as if
battalions of the Muslims have shaded upon you, and Allah azwj is Killing the oppressors, and
the mischief-makers, and Helps the Momineen, the rightful. And the greetings’.

Then he went out from his presence and came to his luggage. Men from his people gathered
to him. He praised Allahazwj and extolled upon Himazwj, then said: ‘O people! Upon what are
you killing yourselves, and shedding your blood upon the falsehood with the foolish and the
evil ones? And I, by Allahazwj, did not come to you until I mobilised the armies to you, so if

you were to incline to the truth, we shall accept from you and refrain from you, and if you
refuse, by Allahazwj it would (result in) your killing and your ruination’.

They said, ‘But, we shall hear and obey’. He said, ‘Get up today upon the Blessing of
Allahazwj, and he got up with them against a community of Ibn Al-Hazramy. They came out to
him and shook his hand, and he paused with them the generality of his day adjuring them
with Allahazwj and saying, ‘O people! Do not break your allegiance, and do not oppose your
Imamasws, and do not make a way to be against yourselves for you have seen and experience

They refrained from it and they were reviling him during that. He left from them and he was
midway from them. When he sheltered to his belongings, ten persons pursued him, the
people thought they were Kharijites. They struck him with their swords, and he was upon
his bed, not thinking that which had happened would happen. He went out fleeing naked,
but they caught up with him in the road and killed him.

Ibrahim has reported by his chain from Ka’ab Bin Queyn who said, ‘I went out with Jariyah
from Al-Kufa among fifty men from the clan of Tameem, and there was no Yemenite among
them apart from me, and I was intense of adherence. I said to Jariya, ‘If you like I can be
with you, and if you like I shall incline towards my people’. He said, ‘But, travel with me, for
by Allahazwj, I would love the birds and the beasts to help me against them as well as the
humans’.

When we entered Al-Basra, he began with Ziyad. He was welcoming with him and made him
sit to his side and whispered to him for a while and asked him. Then he went out and he
stood among (clan of) Al-Azd. He said, ‘May Allahazwj Recompense you goodly from a tribe’.
Then he read it out to them and to others, the letter of Amir Al-Momineenasws, and there in
it was:

‘From a servant of Allahazwj Amir Al-Momineenasws, to the one upon whom this letter of
mineasws is read out, from the dwellers of Al-Basra, from the Momineen and the Muslims:
‘Greetings be unto you all! As for after, surely Allah azwj is Forbearing, with Patience, not
hastening with the Punishment before (Showing) the proof, and He azwj does not Seize the
sinner at the first fear, but Heazwj Accepts the repentance, and Maintains the Patience, and is
Pleased with the penitence for it to become the great for the argument, and more reaching
regarding the excuse.

When the letter was read out to the people, Sabrah Bin Sheyman stood up and said, ‘We
hear and we obey, and we are at war to the ones at war with Amir Al-Momineenasws, and at
peace to the ones at peace (with himasws). O Jariyah! If you people were to suffice you with
your people, so that is it, and if you like us to help you, we will help you’.

And (well-known) face of the people stood up and spoke with similar to that, but Jariyah did
not permit for anyone to travel with him, and he continued towards the clan of Tameem
and spoke to them, but they did not answer him. And a noisy crowd came out from them.
They skirmished with him after having reviled him. He sent a message to Ziyad and (clan of)
Al-Azd, shouting for their help and instructing them to travel to him. Al-Azd travelled with
Ziyad.

And Ibn Al-Hazramy came out to them and they fought for a while, and Shareek Bin Al-Awr
Al-Harisy was killed, and he was from the Shias of Aliasws and a friend of Jariyah. He said to
him, ‘Shall I fight your enemies with you?’ He said, ‘Yes’. He fought them.

It was not long before the clan of Tameem defeated them and forced them to the house of
Sunbul Al-Sa’ady. They besieged Ibn Al-Hazramy in it and Jariyah and Ziyad surround the
house, and Jariyah said, ‘To me with the fire!’ Al-Azd said, ‘We are not (getting involved) in
anything from the burning, and they are your people, and you are more knowing’.

Jariyah burnt down the house upon them Ibn Al-Hazramy died among seventy men, one of
them was Abdul Rahman Bin Usman Al-Qarshy; and Al-Azd travelled with Ziyad until they
came to the government building and with it was the public treasury, and they said to him,
‘Does there remain anything upon us from helping you?’ He said, ‘No’. They left from him.

And Ziyad wrote to Amir Al-Momineenasws, ‘As for after, Jariya Bin Qadamah, the righteous
servant, arrived from yourasws presence and fought the crowd of Al-Hazramy with the ones
who helped him and supported him, from (clan of) Al-Azd. He scattered him (his forces) and
forced him to a house from the houses of Al-Basra among a large number of his companion.
He did not come out until Allahazwj Judged between them.

(The book) ‘Nahj (Al Balagah)’ –

‘And from a speech of hisasws when Masqalah Bin Hubeyra Al-Shaybani fled to Muawiya, and
he had bought prisoners of the clan of Najiya from an office bearer of Amir Al-Momineenasws
and freed them. When he was sought for the wealth (price), he panicked and fled to Syria:
‘May Allahazwj Uglify Masqalah! He did the deed of the chief and fled the fleeing of the slave.
The praiser had yet to speak until he silenced him, nor would a describer describe him until
he muted him, and had he stayed, we would have taken its easy (affordable) and would
have waited for him to fulfil it’’.21

And in part of it, when matter of the camel expired, the people of Al-Basra entered into the
obedience apart from the clan of Najiya. Aliasws sent to them some men from the
companions among a cavalry in order to fight them. He came to them and said to them:
‘What is the matter you are in an army camp and others have entered into the obedience?’

when the matter of the war terminated, he did not kill from the apostates, from the clan of
Najiya, except one man, and the rest returned to Al-Islam, and he enslaved from the
Christians those who had helped in the war and had unsheathed the sword against the army
of the Imamasws.

come out to himasws nor did the ones who stayed with him were patient. When he asws saw

Heasws said: ‘Judgment of Allahazwj is in your necks. Iasws would not imprison its wretched
ones if they dye it with blood from above it. Iasws shall die or be killed, but Iasws would be
killed’. Then heasws went and entered the government building’’.31

And from Ibrahim Bin Qadim, from Shareek, from Shuayb Bin Gharqada, from Al Mustazil Bin Husayn who said,

‘Aliasws said: ‘O people of Al-Kufa! By Allahazwj! You will either exert and fight upon Hisazwj
obedience or the people (enemies) aren’t more aged than you, and you are closer to the
truth than them. So, Allahazwj will Punish you and Heazwj will Punish them’’.32

‘Aliasws said to the people, and it is the first speech of his asws after Al-Nahrawan, and affairs
of the Kharijites which happened, heasws said: ‘O you people! Get ready to go to the enemy
in fighting them for drawing closer to Allahazwj and seeking the means to Himazwj.

They are confused from the truth and are not seeing it, and they are dealing with the
arrogance and the tyranny nor dispensing justice with it, forsaking the Book, keeping away
from the religion, blinded in the tyranny, and hanging out in the midst of the straying. And
prepare for them whatever force you can and from the equipped cavalry horses, [8:60],
And rely upon Allah, and suffice with Allah as a Supporter [33:3] and suffice with Allah as
a Helper [4:45]’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘They did not mobilise and they did not deploy. Heasws left them for
days until heasws despaired from them doing so, and heasws called their chiefs and their (well
known) faces and asked them of their view and what is that which was discouraging them.
From them was the crooked, and from them was the denier, and few of them were the
active.

Heasws stood among them for a second time. Heasws said: ‘Servants of Allahazwj! What is the
matter with you all! If Iasws order you with mobilising, you cling heavily to the earth? Are
you pleased with the life of the world rather than the Hereafter [9:38] as a Reward? And
(pleased) with the humiliation and the weakness rather than the honour as a replacement?

And every time Iasws call out to you to the Jihad, your eyes roll as if you are in an intoxication
from the death! Myasws discourse is shaking you so you are crying, as if your hearts getting
belittled. You are not using your intellects, and if your eyes are blinded from birth so you will

cunning foxes when you are called out to. You are neither a corner one can arrive at it, nor
exhalations of honour one can hold fast to it.

And as for your rights upon measws, and it is the advising to you for as long as Iasws
accompany you, and the security upon you, and teaching you lest you are ignorant, and
educating you so you will be learned. If Allahazwj Wants good with you, you will remove
yourselves from what Iasws dislike and return to what Iasws love, you will end-up attaining
what you love and realising what you had been wishing for’’.34

And by his chain from Bakr Bin Isa,

‘Aliasws was addressing the people and urging them upon the travelling to Muawiya and the
people of Syria. They went on dispersing from himasws and being sluggish upon it, and they
were blaming the cold at time and the heat at other times’’.36

And by his chain from Qays Abu Hazim who said,

‘I heard Aliasws saying: ‘O community of Muslims? O son of the Emigrants! Mobilise to go to

the leaders of Kufr and remnants of the confederates, and friends of Satanla! Mobilise to the
fights upon the blood of the bearer of the sins!!! By the One azwj Who Split the seed and
Formed the person! He (Muawiya) will carry their sins up to the Day of Qiyamah, without
there being a reduction from their burdens of anything!’’37

And from Ismail Bin Aban Al Azdy, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Jabir, from Rafie, from Farqad Al Bajaly who
said,

‘Are you not seeing, O community of the people of Al-Kufa! By Allahazwj! Iasws have struck you
with the twig which Iasws used to preach to the foolish ones with, but Iasws did not see you
desisting; and Iasws have struck you with the whips which Iasws was establishing the legal
penalties with, but Iasws did not see you being scared; so there does not remain except
myasws sword, and Iasws know the one would straighten you by the Permission of Allah azwj,
but Iasws do not like that to come from you.

And the surprise from you and from the people of Syria. Their Emir disobeys Allah azwj and
they are obeying him, and your Emir is obeying Allahazwj and you are disobeying himasws.

‫ أَ فَ َََتْو َن َع ُد َّوُك ْم ََل‬.‫الس ِْري إِلَْي ِه ْم ِِف الشِّتَا ِء] قُلْتُ ُم الْ َقُّر َيَْنَ ُعنَا‬

‫َُِي ُدو َن الْ َقَّر َك َما ََِت ُدونَهُ؟‬

If Iasws say to you, ‘Mobilise to go to your enemies during the days of heat, you are saying,
‘This is the hot spring!’ And when Iasws order you with the travelling to them during the
winter, you are saying, ‘The cold is preventing us’. Are you not seeing your enemies are not
feeing the cold as you are feeling?

ِ ِِ َ ‫ فَ َق‬.‫ ََل تَ ْن ِفُروا ِِف ا ْْلَِّر‬:‫ال ُك َََب ُاؤُه ْم‬

‫َش ُّد َحًّرا لَ ْو كانُوا يَ ْف َق ُهو َن‬
َ‫أ‬

But you are resembling a people Rasool-Allahsaww had said to them: ‘Mobilise in the Way of
Allahazwj!’ Their elders said, ‘We will not mobilise during the heat’. Allahazwj Said to Hisazwj
Prophetsaww: Say: ‘The Fire of Hell is more intense in heat’, if they had been pondering
[9:81].

youasws nor will any Kafir love youasws’. and he will be disappointed, one who bore injustice

O community of the people of Al-Kufa! By Allahazwj! Either you observe patience upon

‘The people of Dowmat Al-Jandal from (clan of) Kalb neither happened to be in the
obedience of Aliasws nor of Muawiya, and they said, ‘We shall be upon our state until the

He (the narrator) said, ‘Muawiya reminded them once by sending to the Muslim Bin Uqbah
and asked them for the charities and besieged them. That reached Ali asws, so heasws sent a
message to Malik Bin Ka’ab, heasws said: ‘Employ a man (as governor) upon Ayn Al-Tamr and
come back to measws’. So, he made Abdul Rahman Bin Abdullah Al-Arhaby in charge and
came back to Aliasws.

and Malik Bin Ka’ab had descended to his side. They paused at each other for a while, then
they fought in that day of theirs up to the night until when it was the next morning, Muslim
prayed Salat with his companion, then left, and Malik Bin Ka’ab stood to Dowmat Al-Jandal
calling them to the reconciliation, but they did not do so. He returned to Aliasws’’.40

By his chain from Abu Al Kanoud, from Sufyan Bin Awf Al Ghamady who said,

‘Muawiya called me. He said, ‘I am sending you in a mighty army, so stick to the side of the
Euphrates until you pass by Heyt and cut across it. If you find an army at it, raid upon them,
or else continue until you raid over Anbar. It you do not find an army at it, then continue
until you raid upon Al-Madain, then come back to me, and fear from going to near Al-Kufa,
and know that if you were to raid upon the people of Al-Anbar and people of Al-Madain, it is
as if you have raided upon Al-Kufa.

O Sufyan! These raids upon the people of Al-Iraq would scare their hearts and everyone who
had for him some desire for us would be emboldened, and they will see the sectarianism,
and you should call to us every one who used to fear the change of times, and ruin all what
you pass by, and kill every one you meet from the one who isn’t upon your view, and
confiscate the wealth for it is - escorted with the killing, and it is most painful for the hearts’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘I went out from his presence and encamped, and Muawiya stood
and called out to the people to that. No three (days) had passed by me until I went out

travel until I passed by Bahiyah. It reached them that I had come to overcome them, so they
cut across the Euphrates.

I passed by it and there was no Arab at it, it was as if it had not been entered into at all. I
trampled it until I passed by Sandoud. They fled so I did not meet anyone at it. I continued
until I conquered Anbar, and they had been warned of me. An officer of the weaponry came
out to me and paused to me, but I did not advance to him until I grabbed two boys from the
people of the town and I said to them, ‘Inform me, how many companions of Aliasws are
there at Anbar?’

They said, ‘The number of armed men is five hundred, but they have scattered and returned
to Al-Kufa and we do not know those which happen to be in it (Anbar) whether they are two

He (the narrator) said, ‘I descended and my companions formed a battalion, then I took to
sending a battalion after battalion to it. By Allahazwj! They fought them, and combating to
them, and chasing them in the alleys! When I saw that, I sent down to them around two
hundred, then I sent the cavalry to them. When the infantry walked to them and the cavalry
had attacked upon them, there did not happen to be except a few until they dispersed, and
their commander was killed among his companions.

We came to it among more than thirty men and we carried off whatever was in Al-Anbar
from the wealth of its people, then I left. By Allah azwj! I had not raided any raid more safely,
nor more delighting to the eyes, nor more cheerful for the soul, than it, and by Allah azwj, it
had panicked the people.

When I came to Muawiya and narrated to his the narration upon its perspective, he said, ‘By

fleeing from the direction of Aliasws’’.41

And from Jundab Bin Afeef who said,

‘By Allahazwj! I was in the army of Al-Anbar with Ahras Bin Hassan Al-Bakry, when we
accompanied Sufyan in battalions the eyes were filled from it. They terrified us, by Allahazwj,
and we knew it when we saw them that there is not strength for us against them nor any
hand. Our commander went out to them and we had separated, so we could not meet them
with half of us and there did not happen to be any strength for us against them.

‫احبُنَا َو ُه َو يَْتلُو فَ ِمنْ ُه ْم َم ْن قََى َْْنبَهُ َو ِمنْ ُه ْم َم ْن يَنْتَ ِظُر َو ما بَ َّدلُوا تَ ْب ِد ًيَل‬

َ َ َُ َ َ ْ ُ ْ ُ ُ َ

And I swear by Allahazwj! We would be fighting them, then by Allahazwj, they would be
defeating us. Our commander descended and he was reciting, ‘So, from them is one who
fulfilled his vow, and from them is one who awaits, and they did not change with any
alteration [33:23]’.

‫ف ما ِعنْ َد اللَّ ِه َخ ْريٌ لِ َْلَبْرا ِر‬
َ ‫أ ََر َاد َما ِعنْ َد اللَّ ِه‬

Then he said to us, ‘One who does not want to meet Allah azwj nor feel good with the death,
let him get out from the town for as long as we are fighting them, for our fighting them
would pre-occupy them from seeking the fleer, and one who intends what is in the Presence
of Allahazwj, and what is in the Presence of Allah is better for the righteous [3:198].

‫ فَلَ َّما قُتِلُوا أَقْ بَلْنَا‬،ُ‫َص َح ِاِب فَ َقاتَلُوا َح ََّّت قُتِلُوا َرِْحَ ُه ُم اللَّه‬

Then he descended among thirty men. By Allahazwj! I thought of descending with him, then
my soul refused, and he and my companions went ahead and they fought until they were
killed, may Allahazwj have Mercy on them. When they had been killed, we came back
defeated’’.42

And by his chain from Muhammad Bin Mikhnaf,

‘When Sufyan Bin Awf raided upon Al-Anbar, a group from its inhabitants arrived to Aliasws
and informed himasws the news. Heasws ascended the pulpit and said: ‘O you people! Your
brother Al-Bakry has been killed at Al-Anbar, and he was deceived not thinking of what
happened, so he chose what is in the Presence of Allah azwj over the world. Go to them until
you meet them, so if you were to hurt some of them, you will deny them from Al-Iraq
forever, for as long as they remain!’

َ ‫ َخَر َج َيَْشي َراج ًَل َح ََّّت أَتَى الن‬،‫ص ْمتَ ُه ْم َعلَى َما ِِف أَنْ ُفس ِه ْم‬

ُ ‫[و الن‬َ

Then heasws was silent from them hoping that they would answer him, or they would speak,
or a speaker from them would speak with good. When heasws saw their silence upon what
was in their selves, heasws went out walking until heasws came to Al-Nukheyla, and the people
were walking behind himasws, until a group from the nobles had surrounded himasws. They
said, ‘Return, O Amir Al-Momineenasws! We shall suffice youasws’.

Heasws said: ‘Neither will you suffice measws nor will you suffice yourselves’. They did not
cease with himasws until they made himasws leave to go to hisasws house. Heasws returned and
heasws was sullen, bleak. And heasws called Saeed Bin Muslim Al-Hamdany and sent him from
Al-Nukheyla among eighty thousand and said: ‘Pursue this army until you expel them from
the land of Al-Iraq’.

He went out upon the banks of Euphrates in its search until when he reached Anaat, Saeed
despatched Hany Bin Al-Khattab Al-Hamdany in front of him. He followed their tracks until
he reached near the land of Qinasreen, and they missed it, then he left.

He (the narrator) said, ‘Aliasws waited (and) the gloom and the grief was seen in him asws, until
Saeed arrived. Heasws wrote a letter, and in those days heasws was ill and heasws could not
bear the standing among the people with all what heasws wanted from the words (speech).

Heasws sat down by the entry door which connects to the Masjid and with him asws were Al-
Hassanasws, and Al-Husaynasws, and Abdullah son of Ja’farasws.

Heasws called hisasws slave Saeed and handed the letter to him, and instructed him to read it
out to the people. Saeed stood up where Aliasws could listen to his reading and what the
people might respond to it. Then he read out the letter: ‘In the Name of Allah azwj the
Beneficent, the Merciful. From a servant of Allahazwj Aliasws Amir Al-Momineen, to the one
from the Muslims myasws letter is read out to. Greetings be unto you all!

has passed and I (Majlisi) shall be coming with more in different reports.

Then he (the narrator) said, ‘A man from Al-Azd called Habeeb Bin Afeef stood up to himasws,
holding a hand of a son of his brother called Abdul Rahman Bin Abdullah Bin Afeef, and he
came waling until he faced Amir Al-Momineenasws at the door of the entrance, then he knelt
upon his knees and said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! Here I am. I do not control except myself

and my brother, so order us with yourasws order. By Allahazwj, let us enforce to it, and even if
there forms a barrier besides that by the thorns of Al-Haris and embers of Al-Gazaa, until we
implement yourasws order or we dying doing it’.

Heasws supplicated for them both with goodness and said to them: ‘May Allah azwj Bless upon
you! Where will you two reach from what we want?’

Then heasws ordered Al-Haris Al-Awr and he called out among the people, ‘Where is the one
who would sell his soul to his Lordazwj, and sell his world for his Hereafter! Wake up
tomorrow morning with the desire, if Allahazwj so Desires, and let not present to us except
one of sincere intention regarding the travelling with us and the fight to our enemies!’

He (the narrator) said, ‘And Aliasws remained for days showing hisasws sadness and severe
gloom. Then heasws called out among the people, and they gathered. Heasws stood up to
address. Heasws praised Allahazwj and extolled upon Himazwj, then said: ‘As for after, O you
people! By Allahazwj! The people of your city among the cities are more than the helpers
among the Arabs’ – and he continued the Hadeeth up to the end of what I (Majlisi) shall be
coming with (more) in the report of Ibn Sheykh in his gatherings, from Rabie Bin Nahid at
the end of this chapter’’.43

the Muslims, you would have been destroyed’’.44

And from Ismail Bin Raja’a Al Zubeydi,

‘Aliasws addressed them after this speech. Heasws said after having praised Allahazwj and
extolled upon Himazwj: ‘O you people, your bodies are united, and your hearts are disunited!
One who calls out to you is not honoured nor does the one who is inflexible to you get any
rest. Your talk weakens the solidity of the slabs, and your deeds are what your enemies are
coveting regarding you.

If Iasws say to you: ‘Travel to them during the heat, you say, ‘Respite us until the heat
subsides from us’. And if Iasws say to you: ‘Travel to them’, during the winter, you say, ‘Until
the cold subsides from us’. A deed of the ones with the lengthy debts. One who is successful
with you is the one with the disappointing share.

Iasws woke up in the morning, Iasws cannot ratify your words nor am Iasws eager regarding your
help. May Allahazwj Effect separation between me and you all. Which house after your house
will you defend?! And with which Imamasws after measws will you be fighting?! But, after
measws, you will be facing impacts taking the straying upon you as a way (norm), poverty will
enter into your houses, and a cutting swords, and during that you will be wishing you could
see measws and fight with (alongside) measws and be killed under measws, and as if it has
already happened’’.45

‘When they raided with the large numbers, Aliasws stood up and addressed to them. Heasws
said: ‘O you people! What is this?! By Allahazwj! It could have been defended from the town
by seven persons from the Momineen being in it!’’46

‘While I was in the market when I heard a caller calling for the congregational Salat. I came
sprinting and the people were rushing. I entered Al-Rahba and there was Aliasws upon a
pulpit of plastered clay, and heasws was furious. It had reached himasws that some people had
raided in large numbers.

‘I hear Aliasws saying: ‘Iasws had feared that those people might indicate upon you, by their
obeying their leader and your disobeying your Imamasws, and by their fulfilling their
entrustment and your betrayal, and by their being righteous in their land and your
corrupting in your land, and by their uniting upon their falsehood and your separating from
your truth.

(This is) to the extent that their government is prolonged, and until there will not remain
any Prohibition of Allahazwj except they would legalise it, until there will neither remain any
house of fur nor a house of mud except their tyranny and their injustice will enter it, until
the two criers will stand – a crier crying for his religion and a crier crying for his world.

And from Yahya Bin Salih, from his companions,

‘Aliasws called out among the people when the large numbers had raided upon the outskirts,
and heasws sent police for that on Thursday, and sent to them Qays Bin Sa’ad Bin Ubada Al-
Ansari. Then heasws diverted them and they travelled until they came to the frontier of Syria.

And Aliasws wrote to Muawiya: ‘Youasws are claiming, that which called you to what you did
was seeking the blood of Usman. So, how remote are your words from your deeds. Woe be
unto you! And is the sin of the people under the responsibility in the killing of Ibn Affan?!
And due to which thing are you legalising seizure of the war booty of the Muslims?! Desist
and do not do so, and be cautioned of the end-result of the rebellion and the tyranny.

And rather the like of measws and the like of you are as what Bala’a said to Dureyd Bin Al-
Simmah (in a poem), ‘Slow down Dureyd from the hastening me past the gardens with the
ones hastening I am fond of. Slow down Dureyd from the foolish ones. I am continuing upon
rubbing the nose of the enemies calling out. Slow down Dureyd, do not become meeting me
(in battle) for a day Dureyd. (By) Allah this is made up. And when a community disgraces
you, (and) you honour them, you will become where you will see the disgrace and hear’’.

Muawiya answered himasws, ‘As for after, surely Allahazwj has Caused me to enter into a
matter isolating youasws from it far away from the truth, and I have attain from it the best of
my hopes. I am the caliph there is unity upon him, and the like of me and the like of you asws

he reconciled upon the blood of his brother, then he broke (the allegiance) and his people
abused him.

Jundab Bin Abdullah Al Waily said,

‘Aliasws was saying: ‘But you (O people of Iraq) will be facing three (matters) after measws –
Complete humiliation, a fatal sword, and an effect the oppressors would be taking upon you
as a way (norm). Then you will remember measws during those situations, and you will be
wishing if only you could see measws and help measws and shed your blood under myasws
blood. Allahazwj does not Distance except the one who is unjust’.

the killers of Usman and shedders of his blood.

Travel upon the Blessings of Allahazwj until you descend at Makkah, for you will not be
meeting the people over there at the season (Hajj). Call the people to our obedience and
follow us. If they answer you, then refrain from them and accept from them, and if they turn
around from you, then discard them and avoid them, and do not fight them until it reaches
them that I have ordered you to deliver on my behalf. They are the origin, and the clan, and
I want them to remain loving, and do not get them forcibly. Then pray Salat (leading) with
the people, and be in charge of the matters of the season (Hajj)’.

Yazeed said to him, ‘You are sending me to a people of Allah azwj and gathering of the
righteous. If you are pleased that I travel to them and work among them with my view and
with what I wish, then may Allahazwj Unite you and them with it, I shall travel to them; and if
it was that you are not pleased from me except for the cheating and baring the sword, and
frightening the innocent and rejecting the excuses, then I am not the one for what is over
there. Seek someone else for this matter’.

He said to him, ‘Travel sensibly, for I am pleased with your view and with your journey’. And
he was a ritualistic man, following it, and he was a supporter of Usman, and was from the
ones who had attended (battle of) Siffeen with Muawiya.

Ibn Shajara went out from Damascus quickly and said, ‘O Allah azwj! If Youazwj have Decreed
that there should be fighting between this army which is being sent and the people of
Yourazwj Sanctuary which it is being sent to, then Cover it, for I do not consider grievous
fighting the ones who participated in the killing of Usman, Your azwj oppressed caliph, nor
fighting the ones who abandons him, but I consider grievous the fighting in Yourasws
Sanctuary which Youazwj have Prohibited’.

He went out a little and send Al-Haris Bin Numeyr ahead of him, and they returned until
they passed by Al-Qurra valley. Then they took (the direction) towards Al-Juhfa, then
continued until they arrived at Makkah on the tenth of Zilhajj’’.51

And from Abbas Bin Sahl Bin Sa’ad Al Ansary who said,

‘When Qusam Bin Al-Abbas heard of their closeness from him before they had departed
from Al-Juhfa, and he was an office bearer for Aliasws upon Makkah. He stood among the
people of Makkah, and that was during the year thirty-nine (39). He praised Allahazwj and
extolled upon Himazwj and called them to the Jihad, and said, ‘Manifest whatever is within
yourselves and do not deceive me!’

‫ك اللَّهُ أَيُّ َها ْال َِمريُ ََل يَ ْقبُ ُح فِينَا أ َْمُرَك َو َْْن ُن َعلَى‬ ِ َ ‫ فَ َذهب لِين ِزَل فَقام شيبة بن عثما َن فَق‬.‫ قَ ْد ب يَّنتم ِِل ما ِِف أَنْف ِس ُكم‬:‫فَس َكت الْقوم ملِياً فَقا َل‬

The people were silent for a while. He said, ‘You have manifested to me what is within
yourselves’. He went to descend, and Shayba Bin Usman stood up and said, ‘May Allah azwj
have Mercy on you, O Emir! Your order is not ugly among us, and we are upon your
obedience and our allegiance, and you are our Emir and a son of an uncle of our caliph. If
you were to call out to us, we shall answer you in whatever we can tolerate and are able
upon’.

Qusam drew his animal closer and loaded his luggage and intended to go away from
Makkah. Abu Saeed Al-Khudry came to him and said, ‘What are you intending?’ He said,
‘This matter has occurred which has reached you, and there isn’t any army with me I can
defend with, so I viewed that I should isolate from Makkah. If an army comes to me, I shall
fight with them, or else I would have stayed away (having saved) my blood’.

Saeed said to him, ‘May Allahazwj have Mercy on you! So, what will your excuse be in the

As for after, myasws informant in the west have written to measws that some people of the
Arabs have been sent to the season (of Hajj), from the ones blind of hearing, and deaf of the
ears, and blind of the sight, those who are confusing the truth with the falsehood and are
obeying the creatures in disobedience to the Creator, and they are pulling the world by
(using) the religion, and are wishing to Allahazwj to be neighbours of the righteous (in the)
Paradise, and surely there wouldn’t be any success with the good except by its workers, nor
Recompense with the evil deeds except by its perpetrator.

When Abu Saeed had read the letter, Qusam said, ‘What benefits me from this letter, and I
have heard that their cavalry is preceding hisasws cavalry? And would hisasws army come until
the matter of the season is accomplished, all of it?’

Abu Saeed said to him, ‘You, if you were to exert yourself in advising your Imamasws, you
would exit from the blame, and fulfil that which is upon you from the right, for the people
(enemy) have arrived and you are in the Sanctuary, and the Sanctuary is the Sanctuary of
Allahazwj’.

So, Qusam stayed, and Yazeed Bin Shajara came until he entered Makkah. Then he
instructed a caller, and he called out among the people, ‘Indeed! The people, all of them are
safe, except the one who objects to us in our work and our authority!’ And that was before
the (day) of ‘Al-Tarwiyya’ by a day.

When that happened, Quraysh, and the Helpers, and the ones from the companions who
attended the season (Hajj), and the righteous people willed in what between the two and
asked them to reconcile. Each of the two was cheered by that reconciliation. As for Qusam,
he did not trust the people of Makkah and did view they would be advising him, and as for
Yazeed, he was a ritualistic man and he disliked that any evil should happen from him in the
Sanctuary’.

And from Amro Bin Mihsan who said, ‘Yazeed Bin Shajarah stood up, praised Allah azwj and
extolled upon Himazwj, the said: ‘As for after, O people of the Sanctuary, and the ones
present! I have been sent to you to pray Salat with you (leading), and unite, and enjoin with
the good and forbid from the evil. I have seen the ruler of this city to have disliked praying
the Salat with us, and we are disliking the Salat with him. If he so desires, he can isolated
from us to pray Salat with the people and I shall isolate, and we shall leave the people of
Makkah to be choosing for themselves whom they love, until he would pray Salat (leading)
them.

If he refuses, then I shall refuse and refuse. By the One azwj Who, there is no god apart from
Himazwj! If I so desire, I can pray Salat with the people and seize him until I return him to
Syria, and there is no one with him who can defend him, but, by Allahazwj! I do not love to
violate the sanctity of this Sacred city!’

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then Yazeed Bin Shajarah came to Abu Saeed Al-Khudry. He said,
‘May Allahazwj have Mercy on you! Meet this man and say to him, ‘May there be no father
for other! Isolate from praying the Salat with the people and I shall isolate (as well), and
leave the people of Makkah to be choosing for themselves. By Allah azwj! If I so desire, I can
hold you and them, but, by Allahazwj! Nothing carries me upon what you heard except the
Pleasure of Allahazwj and reverence of the Sanctity, for that is closer to the piety and better
in the end-result’’.

Abu Saeed went to Qusam and said, ‘Can’t you see how good is what Allahazwj has Done for
you?’ And he mentioned that to him. They both isolated from the Salat and the people

When the people had accomplished their Hajj, Yazeed returned to Syria, and the cavalry of
Aliasws came. They were informed of the return of the people of Syria. They pursued them,
and upon them (as commander) was Ma’qail Bin Qaya. He came across them, and they had
already departed from Al-Qura valley. They were victorious with a number of them and
seized them as captives, and seized whatever was with them and they returned to Amir Al-
Momineenasws. Heasws ransomed with them the captives which were for himasws, with
Muawiya’’.52

‘Amir Al-Momineenasws said to the people of Al-Kufa: ‘Iasws do not see these people, meaning

Heasws said: ‘Iasws (see) their affairs to have boiled and Iasws see your fires to have died out,
and Iasws see them as serious and Iasws see you as waning, and Iasws see them as united and
Iasws see you as separated, and Iasws see them obedient to their master and Iasws see you as
disobedient to measws.

This brother of (clan of) Ghamid, his cavalry has arrived at Al-Anbar and he has killed Hassan
Bin Hassan Al-Bakry, and removed your cavalry from their garrisons. And it has reached me
that the man from them was entering to the Muslim woman and other to the women under
the responsibility, and he removed her ornaments, and her anklet, and her bangles, and her
necklace, and her ear-rings. They could not prevent from it except by (saying), ‘We are for
Allah and we are returning to Him [2:156] and pleading for mercy.

Then they left with plenty. No man from them sustained any injury nor was any blood of
theirs was spilt. If only a Muslim man would have died out of regret after this, there would
have been no blame with him, but in myasws presence he would be worthy with it.

Oh surprise, surprise! By Allahazwj! The heart dies and it brings the concerns from the unity
of these people upon the falsehood and your separation from your rights. Ugliness would be
for you and demeaning when you are being aimed at. Raids are being carried out upon you
and you are not raiding, and you are being invaded and you are not invading, and Allah azwj is
being disobeyed among you and you are pleased.

Whenever Iasws order you with the travelling to them in the days of heat, you say, ‘This is the

All this is fleeing, from the heat and the cold (excuses). When you are fleeing from the heat
and the cold, then by Allahazwj, you would be fleeing even more from the sword. O
resemblances of the men and not men (having) forbearances of the children and intellects
of the women in seclusion. Iasws would have loved if Iasws had not seen you and had not
known you. By Allahazwj! (It is) an acquaintance of regret resulting in condemnation.

May Allahazwj Fight you! You have filled up myasws heart with abhorrence, and packed myasws
chest with ambers, and made measws swallow mouthfuls of grief in every breath, and you
have spoil myasws view upon measws with the disobedience and the abandonment, until
Quraysh said, ‘The sonasws of Abu Talibasws is a brave man but there is no knowledge for

Explanation –

Ibn Maysam and others said, ‘This is a famous sermon. Abu Al-Abbas Al-Mubarrad and
others have mentioned it, and the reason for it being famous is that an atheist from Al-
Anbar arrived to himasws and informed himasws that Sufyan Bin Awf Al-Ghamidy had arrive
among a cavalry of Muawiya to Al-Anbar, and he had killed hisasws office bearer Hassan Bin
Hassan Al-Bakry.

َ َ‫الس ََل ُم الْمنْ َََب َو َخط‬ َ َ‫ف‬
.‫َع ِن الْعَِر ِاق أَبَداً َما بَ ُقوا‬

Heasws ascended the pulpit and addressed the people and said: ‘Your brother Al-Bakry has
attacked at Al-Anbar, so enforce to them until you meet them. If you were to kill a few of
them you will uproot them from Al-Iraq forever, for as long as they live!’

‫َحا َط بِِه قَ ْوٌم ِم ْن أَ ْشَرافِ ِه ْم‬ ِ ِ ٍ ِ ِ

Then heasws was silent hoping that they would answer himasws with something. When heasws
saw the silent from them, heasws descended and went out walking until heasws came to Al-
Nukheyla, and the people were walking behind himasws until a group from their nobles had
surrounded himasws. They said, ‘Return, O Amir Al-Momineenasws, and we shall suffice
youasws’.

.‫ فَلَ ْم يََزالُوا بِِه َح ََّّت َرُّدوهُ إِ ََل َمْن ِزلِِه‬.‫ َما تَ ْك ُفوِِّن َو ََل تَ ْك ُف ْو َن أَنْ ُف َس ُك ْم‬:‫ال‬
َ ‫فَ َق‬

Heasws said: ‘You will neither suffice measws nor will you suffice your own selves’. They did not
cease to be with himasws until they returned himasws to hisasws house.

Heasws sent Saeed Bin Qays Al-Hamdany among eight thousand in seeking Sufyan. He went
out until he ended up to near the land of Qinasreen, and returned.

And heasws, was ill during that time. Heasws was not strong upon standing among the people
with what heasws wanted from the words (sermon). So, heasws sat by a door of the entrance
which connected to the Masjid, and with himasws were Al-Hassanasws, and Al-Husaynasws, and
Abdullah son of Ja’faras, and heasws called Saeed, hisasws slave and handed over a letter to

himasws wherein was this sermon, and instructed himasws to read it out to the people, so that
heasws could hear and they could hear him’’.57

And in a report of Al Mubarrad,

‘When (news) ended up to him of the arrival of a cavalry of Muawiya at Al-Anbar, and killing
of Hassan, heasws came out furious, hisasws cloak was dragging until heasws came to Al-
Nukheyla and people were with himasws, and heasws lifted a clod from the ground, praised
Allahazwj and extolled upon Himasws and sent Salawaat upon the Prophetsaww’ – then he (the
narrator) mentioned the sermon’’.58

Hisasws words: ‘(Jihad is) a door from the doors of the Paradise – It is reported from the
Prophetsaww having said: ‘For the Paradise there is a door called ‘Door of the Mujahideen’.
They would be continuing towards it and there it would be opened, and they would be
collared with their swords, and there would be a crown in the pausing station and the

Explanation –
Sharah said, ‘When Muawiya heard of the differing of the people upon Aliasws and their
separating from himasws, hisasws killing the ones heasws killed from the Kharijites, he sent Al-
Zahhak Bin Qays among four thousand and advised to him with the plundering and the
raiding.

ّ ‫حَّت‬
ّ ‫[الَحاك] يقتل و ينهب‬
ّ ‫فأقبل‬
،‫ و قتل معه ناسا من أصحابه‬،‫عليه و آله و سلّم‬

Al-Zahhak came and killed and plundered until he passed by Al-Shalbiya and he raided upon
the pilgrims. He seized their belongings and killed Amro Bin Umeyr Bin Masoud, a
companion of Rasool-Allahsaww, and killed some people from his companions.

ّ ‫ استصرخ أصحابه و استشارهم إَل لقاء‬،‫فلما بلغ ذلك عليّا عليه السَلم‬
ّ

When that reached Aliasws, heasws cried out to hisasws companions and indicated to them to
meet the enemy. But they were slow and heasws saw the failure from them, so heasws
addressed them with this sermon’’.63

Iasws have tired of rebuking you all! Are you pleased with the life of the world instead of the

intoxication from the bewilderment.

you would separate from the sonasws of Abu Talibasws like the separation of the head from
the body.

By Allahazwj! A person who enables his enemy from himself, remove his flesh, and crush his
bones, and peel off his skin, his frustration would be great, too weak from what is being
pressed upon him on the sides of his chest. You can be like it you so desire, as for Iasws, by
Allahazwj, would be besides from that coming (to measws). Iasws shall strike with the noble
(sword), the skulls of the important ones would fly from it, and the hand and the feet would
be cut by it, and Allahazwj will Do after that whatever Heazwj so Desires to.

Explanation –
It is reported that Aliasws addressed with this sermon after hisasws being free from the matter
of the Kharijites at Al-Nahrawan. Heasws praised Allahazwj and extolled upon Himazwj and said:
‘As for after, surely Allahazwj the Exalted has been Good in Helping you, so divert
immediately after this to your enemies from the people of Syria’.

.‫ني بِِه‬ِ ِ ِ َ َ‫يد ِِف ع َد ِدنَا ِمثْل من هل‬ ِِ ِ ِ ‫ ارِجع بِنا إِ ََل ِمص ِرنَا لِن‬،‫ و َكلَّت سيوفُنا‬،‫ قَ ْد نَِف َدت نِبالُنا‬:‫فَ َقالُوا لَه‬

ُْ ْ َ ْ ْ َ ُُ ْ َ َ َ ْ ُ

They said to himasws, ‘Our arrows are depleted and our swords are tired (bent). Return with
us to our city so we can better our preparations, and perhaps Amir Al-Momineenasws would
(see) an increase in our number like the ones from us who have died, so we can be assisted
by it’.

َ ‫ فَ َق‬.‫ إِ َّن الََْْبَد َش ِدي ٌد‬:‫ين فَتَلَ َّكئُوا َعلَْي ِه َو قَالُوا‬ ِ ِ ِ َّ َ ‫ض الْ ُم َقد‬ ِ

ِ
،‫ إِن َُّه ْم َُِي ُدو َن الََْْبَد َك َما ََت ُدو َن‬:]‫[ ََلُ ْم‬

Heasws answered them: O people! Enter the Holy land which Allah has Prescribed for you
and turn not on your backs for then you will be turning back as losers [5:21]. They were
sluggish upon himasws and they said, ‘The cold is severe’. Heasws said to them: ‘They
(enemies) are feeling the cold just as you are feeling’.

ِ ‫ك فَقاتَِل إِنَّا هاهنا‬

َ َ ْ ُ َ ‫ُُثَّ تَ ََل قَ ْولَهُ تَ َع‬

Then heasws recited Words of the Exalted: They said: O Musa! Surely there are tyrannous
people in it, and [5:22] We will never enter it, ever, for as long as they are in it, therefore
you and your Lord should both go and fight, we will be sitting over here’ [5:24]’.

.]‫[منْهُ] أَ ْن يَ ْرِج َع ِّبِِ ْم إِ ََل الْ ُكوفَِة أَيَّاماً ُُثَّ ُيَُْر ُج [ِّبِِ ْم‬

ٌ َ

Some people from them stood up and they offered excuses of having a lot of injuries among
the people and they sought from himasws that heasws should return with them to Al-Kufa for
some days, then heasws should go out with them.

‫ فَلَ ْم يَ ْقبَلُوا َو َد َخلُوا الْ ُكوفَةَ َح ََّّت ََلْ يَْب َق َم َعهُ إََِّل‬،‫ َو يُِقلُّوا ِزيَ َارَة أ َْهلِ ِه ْم‬،‫ َو أ ََمَرُه ْم أَ ْن يَْلَزُموا ُم َع ْس َكَرُه ْم‬،َ‫ُّخْيلَة‬ ِ ٍ ‫فَرجع ِّبِِم َغري ر‬

ٌ ‫قَل‬

Heasws returned with them happy with what they had suggested, and heasws descended them
at Al-Nukheyla and ordered them that they should stay in their camps, and they should
reduce visiting their families. But they did not accepts and they entered Al-Kufa until there
did not remain with himasws except a few. When heasws saw that, heasws entered Al-Kufa and
addressed the people.

Heasws said: ‘O you people! Prepare for the battling the enemy in your Jihad for drawing
closer to Allahazwj, and realising the means in Hisazwj Presence, a people confused from the
truth not seeing, dispensers of the tyranny and the injustices, not being just with it, and
disloyal away from the Book, distressed about the religion, wandering blindly in the
despotism, and hanging out being immersed in the straying.

ْ ِ‫ َو تَ َوَّكلُوا َعلَى اللَّ ِه َو َكفى بِاللَّ ِه َوكِ ًيَل فَ َََتَك ُه ْم أَيَّاماً ُُثَّ َخطَبَ ُه ْم ِِّبَ ِذه‬،‫اْلَْي ِل‬

ْ ‫باط‬ ْ َ ْ ْ ْ ْ َ ُْ َ

So, prepare for them whatever force you are able to and from the equipped cavalry
horses, [8:60], and rely upon Allahazwj, and suffice with Allahazwj as a Protector!’ Heasws left
them for days then addressed them with this sermon’’.65

:-]‫لعلي عليه السَلم حني [كان] يلوم الناس على تقاعدهم [عنه‬
ّ ‫ فإنّه قال‬،‫السَلم خاطب بذلك الشعث بن قيس‬
ّ ‫الرواية وردت بأنّه عليه‬
ّ ‫لكن‬
.»!‫هَل فعلت فعل ابن ع ّفان‬
ّ «

But the report has come that heasws addressed Al-Ash’as Bin Qays with that, for he had said
to Aliasws, when heasws had blamed the people upon their sitting back from him asws, ‘Why
don’t youasws do the deed of the son of Affan (Usman)?’

‫ مأفون‬،‫ و يفري جلده لَعيف رأيه‬،‫ يهشم عظمه‬،‫عدوه من نفسه‬

ّ ‫ إ ّن امرأ مكن‬،‫ «إ ّن فعل ابن ع ّفان َمزاة على من َل دين له و َل وثيقة معه‬:‫فقال‬
.»‫فأما أنا فدون أن أعطي ذاك ضرب باملشرفيّة‬ّ .‫ فكن ذاك إن أحببت‬،‫عقله‬

Heasws said: ‘Surely the deed of the son of Affan is shameful upon the one there is no religion
for him nor having anyone trustworthy with him. A man enables his enemy from himself,
crushing his bones, and stripping his skin, due to the weakness of his view, defective in his
intellect. So be that if you so like to. As for Iasws, Iasws am besides (that). Iasws shall give that a
strike with the noble (sword)’’.66

By Allahazwj! You are a lot in the courtyards, few beneath the flags, and I asws know what you
can be corrected with and your crookedness be straightened, but Iasws shall not correct you
by spoiling myselfasws. Iasws beseech to Allahazwj of your deceit and Iasws am tired of energising
you. You are not recognising the truth like your recognition of the falsehood, nor are you
invalidating the falsehood like your invalidation of the truth!’’67

But, by the Oneazwj in Whose Hand is myasws soul! These people will be prevailing over you.
They aren’t foremost with the truth than you are, but their master is quickening them to the

injustices of its ruler and Iasws have become fearing the injustices of myasws own citizens.

without being upon any support or award, and Iasws am calling you and you are the legacy of
Al-Islam and remainder of the people, to the support, or a party from the award, and you
are separating away from measws and are differing upon measws! There does not come out to
you any instruction from measws Iasws am pleased with, so you agree to it, nor any anger so
you unite against it, and the most beloved of what Iasws want to encounter is the death.

Iasws have taught you the Book and opened for you the arguments, and made you recognise
what you were denying, and made you swallow what you had spat out. Even if it was the
blind, he would have seen, or the one asleep, he would have awakened. And the closest of
the people from the ignorance with Allahazwj is their leader Muawiya and their discipliner Ibn
Al-Nabigha (Amro Bin Al-Aas)!’’70

world, are fixed-term guests, and debtors being called upon to pay. (It is) a short duration,

So, We are for Allah and we are returning to Him [2:156]. The corruption has appeared, so
there is neither any denier to change it nor any rebuke to rebuke it. Is it with this
(behaviour) that you would be in the vicinity of Allah azwj in Hisazwj Holy House (Hereafter),
and become Hisazwj honourable friend in Hisazwj Presence?! Far be it! Allahazwj will not be
deceived about Hisazwj Paradise, nor can Hisazwj Pleasure be attained except by obeying
Himazwj.

(The book) ‘Nahj (Al Balagah) –

‘Heazwj Sent himsaww as a caller to the truth, and as a witness upon the creatures. So, he saww
delivered the Message of hissaww Lordazwj without any weakness nor deficiency, and hesaww
fought in the Way of Allahazwj against Hisazwj enemies without any weakness nor excuse.
Hesaww is an Imamsaww of the ones who is pious and an insight for the one who is guided’’.

And from it: ‘And had you known what Iasws know from what its unseen has been folded
away from you, when you would have gone out to the high ground crying upon your deeds
and beating upon yourselves and neglecting your wealth without there being any guard for
it nor a replacement upon it, and every person from you would have been only concerned
with himself not turning to others.

.‫َّت َعلَْي ُك ْم أ َْمُرُك ْم‬

But you forgot what you had been reminded of and you felt secure what you had been
warned from. So, your views strayed away from you and your affairs were scattered upon
you.

I would have loved it if Allahazwj would have Separated between measws and you all, and
Joined measws with the ones who are more rightful with measws than you are. By Allahazwj!
They were a people of rightful views, enduring wisdom and speakers with the truth. They
neglected the rebellion, continuing ahead upon the path eagerly upon the goal. They won
with the end-result, the permanent and the blissful honours.

guidance nor are you being guided to an aim? Is it in the like of this appropriate for measws
that Iasws go out? And rather he should go out in the like of this, a man I asws agree with from

And is it befitting for measws that Iasws leave the army, and the city, and public treasury, and
collection of the taxes, and the judging between the Muslims, and the consideration in the
rights of the Muslims (the seekers), then Iasws should be going out in a battalion to pursue
another (battalion), moving around (like) the featherless arrow moving around in a quiver.

The people are upon four types – From them is one whom nothing prevents him from the
mischief in the earth except meekness (gentleness) of his self, and the weakness of his
limitations, and lack of plentiful (wealth).

And from them is the one who overcomes with his sword, and is open with his evil, and the
fetcher with his cavalry and his infantry. He has sold his soul and ruined his religion for the
wealth he seizes, or an army he leads, or a pulpit he can ascend, and evil is the trade that he
sees the world to be a price for his soul, and from what there is for you in the Presence of
Allahazwj as replacement.

And from them is one who seeks the word by the work of the Hereafter, and he does not
seek the Hereafter with the work of the world. He reassures himself and small is his steps,
and rolls up his clothes, and adorns himself for the entrustments, and takes the Veil of
Allahazwj as a means to the disobedience.

And from them is one sits back from seeking the kingdom due to weakness of his self, and
cutting off of his causes, so the situation reduces him to be upon his state. He gives it the
name of contentment and adorns with the apparent of the ascetic people, and he isn’t from
that in neither any exuberance (energy) nor any such quality.

And there remains men who close their eyes remembering the return, and their tears flow
in fear of the Resurrection. They are between a displaced club, and fearfully suppressed,
and gagged into silence, and sincerely supplicating, and in painful bereavement. The
dissimulation has deactivated them and the humiliation has covered them.

Thus, they are in a bitter ocean, their mouths are closed tight, and their hearts are sore.
They advised until they were fed up, and they were coerced until they were humiliated, and
they were killed until they were few (left).

from a perspective of a trick? And besides it, it is a prevented from the Commands of
Allahazwj and Hisazwj Prohibitions, so he gives it a glance of an eye after having the ability

And it has reached me that you are saying, ‘Aliasws is a liar!’ May Allahazwj Fight you! Upon

Oh how strange! And why should Iasws not wonder from the mistakes of this sect upon its
different arguments in its religion. Neither are they aiming for the footsteps of any Prophetas
nor are they following with the deeds of any successor as, nor are they believing in the
unseen, nor are they excusing from any fault. They are working in suspicions and are
conducting in lustful desires. The good among them is what they recognise (as being good)
and the evil in their presence is what they are denying (as being evil).

And Rasool-Allahsaww passed away and hissaww head was upon myasws chest, and his breath
flowed into myasws palm and Iasws passed it upon myasws face. And Iasws had been in charge of
hissaww washing and the Angels assisted measws. The house and the courtyards were filled
with their buzz, an assembly descending and an assembly ascending, and my asws ears did not
separate from the humming from them. They were praying Salat upon him asws until we
buried himsaww in hissaww shrine.

So who is that more rightful with himsaww than measws, alive and dead? Go upon your insights
and make your intentions to be sincere in fighting your enemies. By the One azwj Who, there
is no god except Heazwj! Iasws am upon the avenue of truth and they are upon subservience of
the falsehood. Iasws am saying what you are hearing, and Iasws seek Forgiveness of Allahazwj
the Magnificent for measws and you all’’.80

O Allahazwj! Surely, that which happened from us did not happen to be a competing

we wanted the teaching of Yourazwj religion, and to manifest the correction in Yourazwj
country, so that the oppressed from Yourazwj servants would be secure, and to establish the
suspended (penalties) from Yourazwj legal penalties.

with the Salat except Rasool-Allahsaww, and you know that it is not befitting for the miser to
be (in charge) upon the marriages, and the bloods, and the war booties, and the rulings, and
leadership of the Muslims so his appetite would be in their wealth; nor the ignorant, so he
would stray them by his ignorance;

And from it – ‘They (clan of Umayya) would separate after their composure (unity), and they
would scatter from their origins. From them would be one holding a branch wherever it may
incline, he would incline with it, until Allahazwj will be Gathering them for a Day which would
be evil for the clan of Umayya, just as the clouds of autumn tend to gather.

Allahazwj would Compose (unite) them, then Make them scattered like the scattering of the
clouds. Then Allahazwj would Open doors for them, they would flow away from their places
like (it was during the) flood of the two gardens (of Irma). Neither will any land mass be safe
upon it, nor will a hill be affirmed to it, nor would its sharpness be repelled by the peak of a
mountain, nor the highlands.

Allahazwj will Scatter then in the bellies of the valleys, then Heazwj will Flows it as springs in

in their hands will melt away after the exaltation and the enablement, just as the fat
dissolves upon the fire.

So, ask measws before you lose measws! By the Oneazwj in Whose hand is myasws soul! You will
not ask measws about anything in what is between you and establishment of the Hour, nor
about any group during a hundred and straying a hundred, except Iasws shall inform you with
its caller, and its leader, and its pusher, and the prevailing conditions of its riders, and
stations of its travellers, and who from its people would be killed, and who from them
would be dying a (natural) death.

And if you were to lose measws and abhorrent matters and distressing events befall with you,
most of the questioners would lower their heads and most of the ones questioned would
fail, and that is when your wars would diminish you, and clothes would be rolled up from a
leg (ready for battle), and the world would be straitened upon you, and along with it the
days of the afflictions would be prolonged upon you until Allah azwj Grants victory to the
residue of the righteous ones from you.

Indeed! When the Fitna comes, it is confusing, and when it turns around, it awakens (the
people). The perpetrators are denies during its coming and are recognised when its turns
around. They blow around like blowing of the winds, hitting a city and missing a (another)
city.

Indeed! The scariest of Fitna upon you in myasws view is Fitna of the clan of Umayya, for it is
a dark blindness, its outline is general and its ill-effects are particular, and the affliction will
hit the one who is insightful in it, and the affliction would miss the one who is blind from it.

And Iasws swear by Allahazwj! After measws, you will be finding the clan of Umayya as evil being
evil lords, like old unruly camel biting its mouth, and dragging with its forelegs, and kicking
with its hind legs, and refusing its milking. They will not cease to be with you until they do
not leave from it except one beneficial to them, or one unharmful to them.

Their affliction will not cease until a victory from them for one of you does not become
except like the victory of the slave from is master, and the owner from his owned. Their
Fitna would pass fearful rays upon you and banditry of the pre-Islamic period, neither would
there be any minaret of guidance during it nor any flag to be seen. We asws, Peopleasws of the
Household would be saved from it, and weasws wouldn’t be with any calling during it.

Then Allahazwj would Relieve it from you like the removal of the leather skin, by the one asws
brand them with abjection, and drag them by their noses, and make them drink the cup of
combat. Heasws will not give them except the sword, nor will clothe them except with the
fear.

During that, Quraysh would love, in exchange for the (whole) world and whatever is in it, if
they could only see measws in one place, and even if it was the measurement of sacrificing an
animal, to accept from them everything, what Iasws am seeking of only part of it today and
they are not giving me’’.83

straying, recognising of the guidance which we are upon.

Ask measws before you lose measws, for Iasws would be deceased very soon or killed, but Iasws
would be killed. The most wicked of them cannot wait to dye this (beard) with the blood of
this (head)’, and heasws struck hisasws hand upon hisasws beard’’.84

Allahazwj! Even if they were to separate you beneath every stone, Allah azwj would Gather you

And we believe in Himazwj with the belief of the one whose hope is certain, and is penitent to
Himazwj as a Momin, and lowers to Himazwj in humbleness, and sincere to Himazwj of being
unitarian, and magnifies Hisazwj Glory, and seeks refuge with Himazwj desirous, striving.

Heazwj appears to the intellects by what Heazwj has Shown us from the signs of the intricate

From the evidences of Hisazwj creation is the creation of the skies, pegged without pillars,
standing without support. Heazwj Called them and they answered obediently, compliant,
without laziness or delay, and had it not been for their acknowledgment with the Lordship,
and humbleness with the obedience, Heazwj would not have Made for them a place for
Hisazwj Throne nor a dwelling for Hisazwj Angels, nor an ascendance for the good word and
the righteous deeds from Hisazwj creatures.

Glorious is the One, the dark dusk is not hidden unto Himazwj, or the gloom of a night in the
spots of the low lands, nor in spots adjacent to the highlands, nor can the thunder shudder
with it in the horizons of the sky, and the lightning of the clouds does not fade away from it,
and what falls off from leaves blown away from its falling places by various storms, and
downpours of the sky.

And Heazwj Knows the falling of the drop and its settling, and the pull of the particles (atoms)
and their flow, and what would suffice the mosquito of its subsistence and that what the
female bears in her belly.

And the Praise is for Allahazwj the Existent before the existence of the Chair, of Throne, or
earth, or Jinn, or humans, Neither can the imaginations realise Himazwj, nor can Heazwj be
measured by an understanding, nor does a questioner pre-occupy Himazwj, nor does an
attainer reduce Himazwj (of anything), nor does Heazwj Look by an eye, nor can Heazwj be
limited by ‘where’, nor can Heazwj be described by the spouses, nor does Heazwj Created by
treatment, nor can Heazwj be realised by the sensory perception, nor can Heazwj be compared
with the people, the Oneazwj Who Spoke to Musaas with a conversation and Showed himas
Hisazwj Mighty Signs without any limbs nor tools, nor pronouncement, nor any organ.

But, if you were truthful, O one undertaking to describe your Lordazwj, then describe
Jibraeelas, and Mikaeelas, and armies of the Angels of proximity in the Holy chambers of
sublimity. Their intellects are worn out in limiting the best of the creators. And rather, He azwj
is realised, the one with the body and tools, and the one terminating when he reaches the
limit of his term for the perishing.

Iasws am advising you, O servants of Allahazwj, with fearing Allahazwj Who has Clothed you with
attires, and Granted the livelihood upon you, or if there was anyone who could have found a
staircase to remain alive or a way to repel death, that would have been Suleyman as Bin
Dawoodas, the one for whom the kingdom of the Jinn and the humans were subdued for
alone with the Prophet-hood, and mighty rank.

And surely for you in the previous generations there is a lesson (to be learnt). Where are the
Amalikites, and sons of the Amalikites? Where are the Pharaohsla and sons of the
Pharaohsla? Where are the companions of the cities of Al-Rass, those who killed the
Prophetsas and extinguished the ways of the Messengersas and revived the ways of the
tyrants? Where are the one who travelled with the armies and defeated the thousands and
mobilised the soldiers and built the cities?!’

And from these: ‘He (Al-Qaimasws would wear for the wisdom, its shield, and take it with the
entirety of its disciplines from the acceptance upon it, and the recognition with it, and being
free for it, and it in the presence of his self it is which he asws was seeking, and hisasws need
which he had been asking about.

ّ ‫ و ضرب بعسيب ذنبه؛ و ألصق الرض ِبرانه بقيّة من بقايا‬،‫فهو مغَتب إذا اغَتب اْلسَلم‬

If heasws departs, Al-Islam, would depart, and it (the world) would be wagging its tail
(exhausted) and resting its head on the ground. He asws would be the remainder of Hisazwj
Divine Authorities, a caliph from the caliphs of Hisazwj Prophetsas’.

For the sake of Allahazwj! Are you anticipating that a leader other than measws would tread
with you the path and guide you to the way?! Indeed! Surely it has turned around from the
world what was coming forwards, and it has come back from it what had turned back. The
good servants of Allahazwj have determined for the departure and they have sold a little from
the world which was not to remain for a lot from the Hereafter will not perish.

do not happen to be alive today, choking on the morsel and drinking the muddy (water). By

security had been legalised for them after their fear.

That annoyed himasws, so heasws said: ‘O you people, their bodies are gathered and their
desires are different! He is not strengthened, the one who calls out to you, nor does a heart
rest, of the one you hardening you. Your talk would weaken the solid slabs, and you are
being sluggish from obeying measws (something which) your enemies are coveting regarding
you. Whenever Iasws order you, you say this and that and ‘maybe’, reasons with falsities. And
you are asking measws of the delaying, being (like) the defence of one with prolonged debts.

‫ور َو اللَّ ِه‬ ِ ِ ٍ ِ ِّ ‫َي دا ٍر ب ع َد دا ِرُكم َتَْنعو َن! و مع أ‬ َّ ‫ َو ََل يُ ْد َرُك ا ْْلَ ُّق إََِّل بِا ْْلِ ِّد َو‬،‫يل‬ ِ َّ

ْ ‫الس ْه ِم ْال‬

Far be it! Far be it! The humiliated cannot push away the despot, nor can the truth be
realised except with the effort and the patience. Which house after your house will you be
defending? And with which leader after measws will you be fighting along with? By Allahazwj!
The deceived is the one you deceive, and the one who is successful with you would win with
the broken arrow.

َ ‫ َو ََل أ‬،‫صَرت ُك ْم‬

Iasws have become such, Iasws (no longer) covet regarding your help, nor can Iasws ratify your
words. May Allahazwj Separate between me and you Replace measws with you all, ones who
are better for measws than you are.

‫ َو ََتَن َّْو َن َع َّما قَلِ ٍيل أَنَّ ُك ْم‬،‫ َو تَ ْب ِكي ُعيُونُ ُك ْم‬،‫اعتُ ُك ْم‬ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ

But, after measws, you will be facing all inclusive disgrace, and a cutting sword, and such
prejudices, the oppressors would be taking it as a way of norm among you, separating your
communities, and your eyes will cry, and after a little while you will be wishing if you could
see measws and help measws, and soon you will be understanding what Iasws am saying to you
after a little while, and Allahazwj does not Distance anyone except one who is unjust’.

He (the narrator) Jundab was not mentioning this sermons except he would weep, and he
said, ‘By Allahazwj! Amir Al-Momineenasws spoke the truth! The disgrace encompassed us and
we saw the prejudices, and Allahazwj does not Distance except the one who is unjust’’.88

(The book) ‘Al Irshad’ –

‘It is reported that when heasws was determined upon the travelling to Syria to fight
Muawiya, heasws said after praising Allahazwj and the extollation upon Himazwj and the
Salawaat upon Rasool-Allahsaww: ‘Fear Allahazwj, servants of Allahazwj, and obey Himazwj and
obey your Imamasws, for the righteous citizen would attain salvation with the just Imamasws!
Indeed! And the immoral citizen would be destroyed by the immoral leader.

َ َ ‫ني إ‬ َ ُ

And Muawiya has become usurping of what is in his hands of myasws rights, breaker of myasws
allegiance, abusive in the religion of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic; and you have known, O
you Muslims, what the people did yesterday. They had come to me desirous to me
regarding their affairs to the extent that they brought measws out from myasws house in order
to pledge allegiance to measws.

ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِْ ‫ و تَ َدا َككْتم علَي تَ َد َّاك‬،‫ و راددتُ ُكم‬،ً‫ فَراودَتُُوِِّن الْ َقو َل ِمرارا‬،‫فَالْتويت علَي ُكم ِلَب لُو ما ِعنْ َد ُكم‬

،ً‫َ ُك ْم بَ ْعَا‬
ُ ‫أَ ْن يَ ْقتُ َل بَ ْع‬

So Iasws withheld from taking on whatever was with you. You repeated the words to measws
repeatedly and Iasws repeated (rejecting), and you thronged around me asws like the thronging
of the thirsty camels upon their watering troughs, eager upon pledging allegiance to me asws,
to the extent that Iasws feared that some of you would kill the others.

‫ َو يَ ْع ِد ُل فِي ِه ْم‬،‫وم فِي ِه ْم َم َق ِامي‬ ِ ‫صيبوا أ‬

ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ُ ْ‫ و قُل‬،‫ت ِِف أ َْم ِرُكم و أ َْم ِري‬

ِ َ ِ‫فَلَ َّما رأَيت َذل‬
ُ ْ‫ َرأَي‬،‫ك مْن ُك ْم‬ ُ َْ
.‫َع ْدِِل‬

When Iasws saw that from you, Iasws viewed regarding your affairs and myasws affair, and Iasws
said: ‘If Iasws do not answer them to the standing with their affairs, they will not attain
anyone from them to be standing among them in myasws place and dispense justice among
them as myasws justice’.

.‫َلِي‬

َ ‫ أ‬،‫َلي‬ َ َ ُ ْ َ ْ ُ َ ْ ُُ َ ُ َ

And Iasws said: ‘By Allahazwj! If Iasws were to rule them while they are knowing myasws rights
and myasws merits, it is more beloved to measws than if they were to rule measws while they
are not recognising myasws rights and myasws merits’.

So, Iasws spread out myasws hand and you pledged allegiances to measws, O community of
Muslims, and among you were the Emigrants, and the Helpers, and the followers with the
good deeds; and Iasws took a pact upon you of myasws allegiance and obligations of myasws
transaction, and a Pact of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Covenant.

And the strongest of what was Taken upon the Prophets as from a pact and a covenant to
acknowledge to measws, and to listen to myasws orders, and to obey measws, and to advise
measws, and to fight alongside measws against everyone rebelling against measws, or a
renegade when he reneges.

So, all of you pledged to measws with that and Iasws took upon you the Pact of Allahazwj, and
Hisazwj covenant, and responsibility of Allahazwj, and responsibility of Hisazwj Rasoolsaww. You
united to measws to that and Iasws kept Allahazwj upon you and kept you as witnesses upon
each other.

Iasws stood among you with the Book of Allahazwj and Sunnah of Hisazwj Prophetsaww. The
surprise from Muawiya Bin Abu Sufyan! He is contending measws of the caliphate and
rejecting measws of the Imamate, and he claims that he is more rightful with it than I asws am,
being an audacity from him upon Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww without there being a right
for him nor any argument. And, neither did the Emigrants pledge allegiance to him, nor did
the Helpers and the Muslims submit to him.

why are they not being loyal to measws and Iasws am in myasws kinship (with Rasool-Allahsaww),
and myasws precedence, and myasws in-law ship, Iasws am foremost with the command than

you?’ They said: ‘And what is for us except that we fight in the Way of Allah, and we and
our children have been expelled from our homes?’ But when fighting was Prescribed upon
them, they turned back, except a few of them, and Allah Knows the unjust ones [2:246].

And their Prophet said to them: ‘Allah has Appointed Talut to be a king over you’. They

him, and he has not been Given an abundance from the wealth?’ He said: ‘Allah has

O you people! There is a lesson for you in these Verses for you to know that Allah azwj made
the caliphate and the government from after the Prophetsas to be in theiras posterity, and
Heazwj Merited Talut and Advanced him upon the community by Hisazwj Choosing him. and
has Increased him abundantly in knowledge and physique; [2:247].

Can you find (anywhere) Allahazwj Choosing the clan of Umayya over the Clan of Hashimas,
and Increased Muawiya over measws in abundance of knowledge and physique?! Fear
Allahazwj, servants of Allahazwj and fight in the Way of Allahazwj before Hisazwj Wrath Seizes you
due to your disobedience to Himazwj.

Allahazwj the Glorious Said: Cursed were those who committed Kufr from the Children of

disobedience and they were exceeding [5:78] They were not forbidding from evil they
were doing. Evil was what they were doing [5:79].

struggle in the Way of Allah with your wealth and your selves. That is better for you if only
you knew [61:11] He will Forgive your sins for you and Enter you into Gardens beneath
which the rivers flow, and goodly dwellings in the Gardens of perpetuity. That is the
mighty success [61:12].

just as Quraysh had said to their Prophetsaww, and their chief is the Prophetsaww of Mercy,

Your Imamasws is obeying Allahazwj and you are disobeying himasws, and the imam (leader) of
the people of Syrian is disobeying Allahazwj, and they are obeying him. By Allahazwj! Iasws
would love it if Muawiya would exchange for measws with you all (like) exchanging the Dinar
with the Dirham. He can take ten of you from measws and give measws one of them.

By Allahazwj! Iasws would have loved it if Iasws did not know you and you did not know me asws,
for it is a recognition flowing regret! You have covered myasws chest with rage, and spoiled
myasws affairs upon measws by the abandoning and the disobedience, to the extent that
Quraysh said, ‘Aliasws is a brave man but there is no knowledge for himasws with the wars
(tactics)’.

But, by Allahazwj! Iasws would love it if myasws Lordazwj had Extracted measws from between your

wretched one to dye it?’ And heasws brought down hisasws hand upon hisasws head and hisasws
beard, ‘Being a pact the Ummy Prophetsaww had pacted it to measws, and the one who
fabricates would be disappointed’ [20:61], and he would attain salvation, the one who

privately and openly, and Iasws said to you: ‘Invade them before they invade you, for no
people have been invaded in their own houses except they were disgraced. But you
depended on each other and abandoned, and myasws would was burdensome upon you and

And Iasws am not going to correct you all by spoiling myself asws, but a difficult rules would
overcome upon you. He will neither revere your elders nor have mercy on your young ones,
nor will he honour your learned ones, nor will he distribute the war booty with the equality
between you, and he will strike you and humiliate you and drag you into the battles, and cut
of your ways, and he will block you from his door until your strong ones would devour your
weak ones, then Allahazwj will not Distance except one who is unjust, and a little of what
turns around, it would come back. Iasws am thinking of you upon the gap period, and there is
nothing upon measws except the advising to you all.

If Iasws say to you during the summer, ‘Travel!’ You are saying, ‘The heat is severe’. And if I asws
say to you, ‘Travel during the cold!’ You are saying, ‘The cold is severe’. All that amounts to
fleeing from the war when you are frustrated from the heat and the cold, so you would be
more frustrated from the heat of the sword, and even more frustrated. So, We are for Allah
and we are returning to Him [2:156].

it is Hisazwj Permitting it.

And it has reached me that the group from the people of Syria have entered upon the
Muslims women and other (women) under the responsibility, and they have violated their
veils and have seized the veils from their heads, and the ear rings from their ears, and the
bangles from their hands, and their legs, and their forearms, and the anklets, and the aprons
from their coverings.

So, they had no defence except with the saying, We are for Allah and we are returning to
Him [2:156], and the calling out, ‘O Muslims!’ But no helper helped them, nor did any
supporter supported them. If a Momin would have died from this out of pity, he would not
be blamed in myasws presence, but in myasws presence heasws would be righteous, a good-

(The book) ‘Ma’any Al Akhbaar’ – From Al Jowhari, from Al Jaloudy and Hisham Bin Ali, both together from Ibn
Ayesha, by a chain he mentioned,

‘Aliasws, there ended up to himasws a cavalry from Muawiya arriving at Al-Anbar. They killed
an office bearer of hisasws call Hassan Bin Hassan. Heasws came out angered dragging his cloth
until heasws came to Al-Nukheyla, and the people followed himasws. Heasws lifted a handful
from the ground, praise Allahazwj and extolled upon Himazwj, then said:

‘As for after, surely the Jihad is a door from the doors of Paradise. Allah azwj has Opened it for
Hisazwj special friends, and it is an apparel of piety, and the fortified armour of Allah azwj, and
Hisazwj trustworthy shield. The one who neglects it turning away from it, Allah azwj would
Clothe him the clothing of disgrace, and appearance of abjectness, and death with
belittlement.

And Iasws have called out to you to war against these people night and day, and privately and
openly, and Iasws said to you: ‘Invade them from before they invade you, for by the One azwj in
Whose Hand is myasws soul! No people have been invaded at all in their own homes except
they were disgraced. But you depended on each other and abandoned, and my asws words
were burdensome upon you, And you took it as (a thing) cast behind your back. [11:92]

This brother of (clan of) Ghamid has brought his cavalry to Al-Anbar, and they have killed
Hassan Bin Hassan, and a lot of men and women from them. By the One azwj in Whose Hand
is myasws soul! It has reached measws that the men from Syrian had entered unto the Muslim
women and women under the responsibility, and they snatched their bangles and their ear
rings, then they left with plentiful, not one of them spoke a word.

O surprise of all surprises from the prevailing of these people upon their falsehood and your
failure from your rights! When Iasws say to you: ‘Battle them during the winter, you say, ‘This
is the season of cold and snow (bitter cold)’. And if I asws tell you to battle them in the
summer, you say, ‘This is the hot spring. Wait for us for the heat to most away from us’. So
there, you are fleeing from the heat and cold, and by Allah azwj, you will even more fleeing
from the sword.

Indeed! The Muslims is a brother of the Muslim, so you should neither nickname nor
abandon each other, for the laws of religion are one, and its way is moderate. One who
takes with it would catch up, and one who neglects it would deviate, and one who
separated from it would be obliterated. The Muslims isn’t with the betrayal when he is
entrusted, nor with the breaking when he promises, nor with the lies when he speaks.

disobey himsaww in any instruction at all. Iasws saved himsaww by myselfasws in such places
which the heroes were deficient in it, and the limbs trembled in it, by the strength Allah azwj
had Honoured measws with, so for Himazwj is the Praise.

Amir Al-Momineenasws mobilised the people, and they had been sitting back from him asws
and had united upon abandoning himasws, and heasws instructed hisasws caller (to call out)
among the people. They gathered and heasws stood to address. Heasws praised Allahazwj and
extolled upon Himazwj and sent Salawaat upon Rasool-Allahazwj, then said:

‘As for after, O you people! By Allahazwj! The people of your city among the cities are more
among the Arabs than the Helpers, and the day they held a pact of Rasool-Allahsaww that
they would defend himsaww and the ones from the Emigrants with himsaww until the
Messages of Allahazwj are delivered, except for two tribes, of lowly births. They were not in
front of the Arabs by birth, nor more than them in numbers.

When they sheltered Rasool-Allahsaww and helped Allahazwj and Hisazwj religion, the Arabs
shot at them from one bow, and the Jews were opposed to them, and the tribes battled
them, tribe after tribe.

They disentangled themselves for the religion and cut off whatever ropes (connections)
there were between them and the Arabs, and whatever pacts there were between them
and the Jews, and they established a channel of religion to the people of Najd, and Tihama,
and people of Makkah, and Al-Yamama, and people of sorrow and the people of ease, and
they were combating beneath the security of the skins (without armour), until they lowered
the Arabs to Rasool-Allahsaww, and hesaww saw delight of the eyes among them before
Allahazwj Captured him (hissaww soul) to Himazwj, and you are more among the people than
they were among the Arab people of that time.

A man of tall stature stood up to himasws and said, ‘Youasws are not like Muhammadsaww nor

Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘You had better listen intently, you will improve by the answer.
May the bereavements bereave you all! You are not increasing me asws except in sadness. Did
Iasws inform you that Iasws am like Muhammadsaww? Or that you are like hissaww helpers? And
rather Iasws struck an example for you, and Iasws hope that Iasws be comforted by them’.

Then another man stood up and said, ‘How needy are Amir Al-Momineenasws and the ones
with himasws to the companions of Al-Nahrawan!’ Then the people spoke from every side
and clamoured.

A man stood up and said at the top of his voice, ‘It is clear that Al-Ashtar is being missed to
be upon the people of Al-Iraq. If he had been alive, the clamour would have been less, and
every person would know what he is saying’.

Amir Al-Momineenasws said to them: ‘The insanity has ignited you, because Iasws have more
obligated rights upon you than Al-Ashtar does, and is there any right for Al-Ashtar upon you
except a right of the Muslims upon the Muslims?!’ And heasws was angered and descended.

Hujr Bin Aday and Saeed Bin Qays stood up and they said, ‘May Allah azwj not Saddle you, O
Amir Al-Momineenasws! Order us with yourasws orders, we shall follow it. By Allahazwj the

‘And from a speech of hisasws when Muawiya broke the pact and he sent Al-Zahhak Bin Qays
for raiding upon the people of Al-Iraq, so he met Amro Bin Umeyr Bin Masoud and killed
him, and he killed some people from his companions along with him! (So in that response
Amir Al-Momineenasws said): And that was after heasws praised Allahazwj and extolled upon
Himazwj, then said: ‘O people of Al-Kufa! Go out to (help) the righteous servants and to an
army of yours, a part of it has been attacked. Go out and fight your enemies and defend

He (the narrator) said, ‘They responded to himasws with a weak response, and heasws was

it had reached himasws, the travelling of Busr Bin Artah to Al-Yemen: ‘As for after, O you
people! The first obscenity and innovation is your breaking (allegiance). Gone are the people
of reason and people of view from you, the one who were meeting, so they were sincere,

and they were speaking, so they were dispensing justice, and they were called out to, so
they were answering.

And by Allahazwj, Iasws have called out to you repeatedly and initiating, and secretly and
openly, and during the night and the day, and morning and evening, but my calling did not
increase you except in fleeing and turning around. Does preaching you fall flat on you?, the
preaching and the calling to the guidance and wisdom?

And Iasws what you would be corrected with and your crookedness would be straightened for
measws, but by Allahazwj, Iasws will not correct you by spoiling myselfasws, but respite measws for
a little while. By Allahazwj! It is as if you are with myasws orders having come to you, (the other
ruler) is depriving you and punishing you, so Allah azwj Punishes him just as he is punishing
you.

each other like the layering of the fog. Neither are you taking any rights nor are you
defending for Allahazwj any of Hisazwj Sanctities.

Fight him! He has intended measws upon a grievous matter. He wanted measws to do as what
he did, so Iasws would become to have violated myasws responsibilities, and broken myasws
pact, so he could take it as an argument, and it would become a shame upon measws up to
the Day of Qiyamah, every time it is mentioned.

Indeed! Feel with the patience before it and be penitent (repentant) of Allah azwj for the sins
(committed), for you have discarded your holiness and extinguished your lamps, and have
collared your guidance to the one who cannot exert control for himself nor is he hearing to
you, nor seeing. By Allahazwj! Weak is the seeker and the sought.

This (has happened), and if only you had not depended on each other for your affairs and
had not abandoned from helping the truth between you, and had not been weak from
weakening the falsehood, he would not have been courageous upon you, one who isn’t like
you, and one who is strong upon you would not have been strengthened (for it), nor would
he have digested the obedience and its cornering away from its rightful ones among you.

You will be wandering just as the children of Israel wandered in the era of Musaas, and Iasws
am speaking with truth. Your self-esteem would be weakened upon you from after me asws
due to your persecuting myasws children, and weakness what made the children of Israel
stray in the era of Musaas.

And by right, you have completed a drink and are filled with illnesses from the authority of
the accursed tree in the Quran. You have united upon a caller of straying and have
answered the falsehood running. Then you betrayed the caller of the truth and you cut off
(relationships) from the nearby ones from the people of Badr and you connected with the
remote ones, from the sons of Harb. Indeed, if only what is in their hands would dissolve.

direction of the east, and your moon will shine for you for a complete month, and like a
complete night.

So, when that appears, then return to the repentance and oppose the evil deeds, and know
that you, if you were to obey the emerging one in the east, heasws will travel with you the
manifesto of Rasool-Allahsaww. Heasws will cure you from the deafness and heal you from the
muteness, and heasws will suffice you for the ailments of the being grasped and the demand

And Iasws have preached you with the goodly preaching and urged you upon the Jihad
against your rebellious enemies, but Iasws do not even come to the end of myasws talk until
Iasws see you dispersing like the hands of (people of) Saba. So, when I asws refrain from you,
you return to your gatherings for solace and you are striking the examples and prosing the
poems, and are asking about the news. You have forgotten the preparations (required) for
the war and have pre-occupied your hearts with the falsehoods.

Iasws am without it. If that come to measws, Iasws shall strike with myasws noble (sword) the

(now) you are not using your intellects’.

Are you not ashamed, O servants of Allahazwj? Weren’t your pacts with tyranny and
aggression yesterday? The afflictions were all-inclusive and widespread in the country, and
you were the ones with deprived rights, and blamed faces, and tied bellies, and cast out
bare, the hurricanes were stormy upon you. You could not protect from the heat and the
cold, and scorching sun and the brightness, except with the poor clothing and the houses of
decayed hair (animal skin), until Allahazwj Sent to you Amir Al-Momineenasws. Heasws
proclaimed with the truth and spread the justice, and worked with what is in the Book.

O people! Thank for the bounties of Allah azwj upon you and do not turn around backwards,
And do not become like those who are saying, ‘We hear’, and they are not listening [8:21].
Sharpen your swords and prepare for the Jihad against your enemies. When you are called,
to answer, and when you are ordered, then listen and obey, and whatever you say, let it
become what you are harbouring upon. You will become from the truthful ones with
that’’.102

arrived to himasws, they are Ubeydullah Bin Al-Abbas and Saeed Bin Nimran, when Busr Bin

hisasws companions from the Jihad, and their opposition to himasws in the view.

Heasws said: ‘It is not except Al-Kufa Iasws have myasws grip on and Iasws can extent to it. If there
does not happen to be except you, hurricanes will blow through you, Allah azwj would Uglify
you. And heasws gave an example by the words of a poet, ‘By the life of your good father, O
Amro! Iasws am upon a little (piece of) fact from the utensil’.

Then heasws said: ‘Iasws am informed the Busr has emerged to Al-Yemen, and by Allahazwj, Iasws
think that these people will be pointed out from you by their being united upon their
falsehood and your separating from your rights, and due to you disobeying your Imamasws
regarding the truth and their obeying their imam (leader) in the falsehood, and due to their
fulfilling the entrustments to their master and your betrayals, and due to their
righteousness in their cities and your corruption.

If Iasws were to entrust one of you upon a cup, Iasws fear that he would go away with its
handle! O Allahazwj! Iasws am tired of them and they are tired of measws, and Iasws am fed up
with them and they are fed up with measws, so Replace for measws with them better than
them, and Replace them with measws more evil than measws.

O Allahazwj! Dissolve their hearts like the salt dissolves in the water. But, by Allah azwj! Iasws
would love it if there were for measws with you, a thousand horsemen from the clan of Firas

Heasws said: ‘By Allahazwj! You cannot suffice measws against yourselves, so how can you
suffice measws against others! The citizens before measws used to complain of the injustices of
their rulers, and today Iasws (being a ruler) am complaining of injustices of myasws own
citizens. It is as if Iasws am the led and they are the leaders, or Iasws am the prevented and
they are the preventers!’

‘My Lord! I cannot control except myself and my brother, [5:25], so order us with yourasws

‘Aliasws complained to Al-Ashtar of the fleeing of the people to Muawiya. Al-Ashtar said, ‘O
Amir Al-Momineenasws! We have been fighting against the people of Al-Basra with the
people of Al-Basra, and the people of Al-Kufa, and the view is one, and they had differed
afterwards, and they returned and the intentions weakened, and the justice was scarce
while youasws are taking them with the justice and working among them with the truth and

A party from the ones who were with youasws broke up upon the truth when they were
generalised with it, and they were dejected from the justice when they came to be in it, and
the material things of Muawiya came to be with the people of wealth and nobility. The souls
of the people yearned for the world, and few of the people are ones who aren’t companions
of the world, and most of them are ones who hide the truth and enjoy the falsehood and
give preference to the world.

So, if you were to spend the wealth, O Amir Al-Momineen, the necks of the people would be
filled up to youasws, and their advice would be clear, and their cordiality would be shown.
May Allahazwj Do it for youasws, O Amir Al-Momineenasws! And Suppress yourasws enemies, and
Break up their unity, and Weaken their plots, and Scatter their affairs, He azwj is Informed
with what they are doing’.

Aliasws answered him. Heasws praised Allahazwj and extolled upon Himazwj and said: ‘As for
what you mentioned from ourasws works and ourasws conduct with the justice, surely Allahazwj
is Saying: One who acts righteously, so it is for himself, and one who does evil, so it would
be against him, and your Lord is not the least unjust to the servants [41:46], and Iasws am
more fearful from becoming deficient regarding what you mentioned.

And as for what you mentioned from that the truth is heavy upon them, so they are
separating due to that, Allahazwj has Known that they did not separate due to tyranny and
did not seek shelter to justice, and they did not seek except for a world that is declining
away from them, as if they have already separated from it, and they will be Questioned on
the Day of Qiyamah: ‘Is it for the world they intended or they worked for Allah azwj?

And as for what you mentioned of spending the wealth (to lure them) and bringing the men
together, surely there is no leeway for usasws to give from the war booty to a man any more
than his right, and Allahazwj has Said, and Hisazwj Word is the truth: ‘How many times a small
group has overcome a numerous group by the Permission of Allah, and Allah is with the
patient ones [2:249].

And Allahazwj had Sent Muhammadsaww alone, and Multiplied for himsaww after there being a
few, and Honoured hissaww party after the humiliation, and if Allahazwj want usasws to be in
charge of this command, Heazwj will Subdue its difficulties for us, and Ease its grief for us asws,
and Iasws accept from your view in whatever there would be Pleasure for Allah azwj, and you
are more the most honourable of myasws companions, and most trustworthy of them
regarding myselfasws, and their most advising of them in myasws presence’’.107

enemies from measws, so you were its blade. So, if you are not preserving responsibilities

(The book) ‘Al Ihtijaj’ – From Mas’ada Bin Sadaqa,

‘Ja’farasws Bin Muhammadasws said: ‘Amir Al-Momineenasws addressed (the people). Heasws
said: ‘Iasws heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘How will you be when the Fitna confuses you? The
new-born would grow up during it and the older ones would be enfeebled during it, and the
people would flow upon it until they take is as a Sunnah. When something from it is
changed, it would be said, ‘The people are committing evil by changing the Sunnah!’

،‫ َو يَتَ َعلَّ ُمو َن لِغَ ِْري الْ َع َم ِل‬،‫َّاس لِغَ ِْري الدِّي ِن‬ ِ ِِ َّ ‫ و َكما تَد ُّق‬،‫ و تَدقُّهم الْ ِفَت َكما تَد ُّق النَّار ا ْْلطَب‬،ُ‫الذ ِّريَّة‬

.ِ‫َو يَطْلُبُو َن الدُّنْيَا بِ َع َم ِل ْاْل ِخَرة‬

Then the afflictions would intensify and the off spring would grow up in it, and the Fitna
would consume them just as the fire consumes the firewood, and like what the mill would
grind them with its sediment. The people would be pondering for other than the religion,
and they would be learning for other than the deeds, and they would be seeking the world
by the deeds (supposed to be) for the Hereafter’.

Then Amir Al-Momineenasws came back and with himasws were some people from hisasws
family members and special ones from hisasws Shias. Heasws ascended the pulpit, praised
Allahazwj and extolled upon Himazwj and sent Salawaat upon the Prophetsaww, the said:

‘The rulers before measws had worked grievous matters. They opposed Rasool-Allahsaww in it
deliberately for that, and if Iasws had carried the people upon leaving that (Standing place of
Ibrahimas) and transferred it back to its place in which it used to be in the era of Rasool-
Allahsaww, myasws army would separate (and move) away from measws, until Iasws would
remain along except a few from myasws Shias who recognise myasws merits and myasws
Imamate from the Book of Allahazwj and Sunnah of Hisazwj Prophetsaww.

What is your view if Iasws were to order with the standing place of Ibrahimas to be returned
to the place in which Rasool-Allahsaww had placed it to be in; and Fadak to be returned to the
inheritors of (Syeda) Fatimaasws; and return the Sa’a (unit of measurement) of Rasool-

cutting out the pieces (of land) which Rasool-Allahsaww used to cut these out for the named

And return the house of Ja’farasws Bin Abu Talibasws to hisasws inheritors, and demolish it
(what they have built to extend the Masjid) and expel it from the Masjid; and return the
Khums to its rightful ones; and rescind the judgment of every one who had judged with
tyranny and the captured offspring of the clan of Taghlib; and return whatever had been
distributed from the land of Khyber; and erase the register of awards and (instead) give like
what Rasool-Allahsaww used to give and not make these (awards) to be a revenue between
the rich?

By Allahazwj! Iasws had ordered the people that they should not gather during a month of
Ramazan except regarding the Obligatory (Salats), but some people of myasws army, from the
ones who fought besides measws called out and hissaww sword was with measws, by it Iasws save
Al-Islam and its people, ‘Heasws has changed the sunnah of Umar and is forbidding from
praying Salat during the month of Ramazan in a congregation’, to the extent that Iasws feared
that there might be a revolution with measws in part of myasws army.

fifth of it is for Allah, and for the Rasool, and for the near of kin, and the orphans, and the

A man said to himasws, ‘I have heard from Salmanra, and Abu Zarr Al-Ghifarira, and Al-

Quran and Ahadeeth from the Prophetsaww, and youasws are opposing them and claiming

Allahazwj and are interpreting the Quran by their own opinions?’

And Rasool-Allahsaww had been lied upon while hesaww was alive, until heasws stood up to
address and said: ‘O you people! The lies have been frequented upon me asws, so the one
who lies upon measws deliberately, let him assume his seat from the Fire’.

And rather four (types of) men have come to you with the Hadeeth, there isn’t any fight for
them – a hypocrite man, manifesting the Eman and posing as being with Al-Islam. Neither
does he consider it a sin nor does he have any embarrassment in lying upon Allah azwj and
upon Rasool-Allahsaww deliberately.

If the people come to know that he is a hypocrite, they would not accept from him and
would not ratify his words, but they said, ‘He is a companion of Rasool-Allahsaww, and he has
seen himsaww and heard from himsaww and caught it from himsaww. So, they are taking with his
words, although Allahazwj has Informed you about the hypocrites with what He azwj has
informed, and Described them with what Heazwj had Described them with to you.

Then they remained alive after himsaww and they drew near to the leaders of straying and
the callers to the Fire with the falsities and the accusations. So, they (rulers) made them the
office bearers and made them decision-makers upon the necks of the people, and they
devoured the world through them, and rather the people tend to be with the kings and the
world except the one whom Allahazwj Fortifies. So, this is the first of the four.

‫ َو ُه َو ِِف يَ َديِْه يَْرِو ِيه َو يَ ْع َم ُل بِِه‬،ً‫ فَ َوِه َم فِ ِيه َو ََلْ يَتَ َع َّم ْد َك ِذبا‬،‫صلَّى اللَّهُ َعلَيْ ِه َو آلِِه َشيْئاً ََلْ َُْي َفظْهُ َعلَى َو ْج ِه ِه‬ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ

.ُ‫َه‬ َ َ‫ك لََرف‬ َ ‫ت م ْن َر ُسول اللَّه‬ ُ ْ ُ ‫َو يَ ُق‬

And the second of the four is a man who heard something from Rasool-Allahsaww, could not
memorise is upon its perspective, so he used his imagination in it and did not lie
deliberately, and it is in his hands, he is reporting it and working with it and saying, ‘I heard
from Rasool-Allahsaww’. If the Muslims had known that he is using his imagination in it, they
would not be accepting from him, and if he knew that he is like that, he would reject it.

And a third man, he heard something from Rasool-Allahsaww instructing him, then he
(Rasool-Allahsaww) forbade from it, and he did not know, or heard the forbiddance about
something then hesaww instructed with it, and he did not know. Thus, he preserved the
abrogated and did not preserve the abrogating. If he had known it is abrogated, he would
have rejected it, and if the Muslims had known when they heard it from him that it is
abrogated, they would have rejected it.

.‫ف الْ ُمتَ َشابِهَ َو الْ ُم ْح َك َم‬ َ ‫الْ َع َّام فَ َو‬

And the last fourth did not lie upon Allahazwj nor upon Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, being hateful to the
lie fearing to Allahazwj and in reverence to Rasool-Allahsaww, and did not use his imagination
with it. But, he memorised he had heard upon its perspective, so he came with it upon what
he had heard, and he did not increase in it and did not reduce from it, and he preserved the
abrogating so he worked with it, and preserved the abrogated so he stayed away from it,
and he recognised the special and the general, so he placed everything in its place, and he
recognised the allegorical and the decisive.

And the speech happened from Rasool-Allahsaww having two aspects for it. There was a
special talk and general talk. He heard it, one who did not know what Allah azwj had Meant by
it nor what Rasool-Allahsaww had meant by it. The listener carried it and diverted it upon
being without understanding its meaning nor what had been aimed with it, and what reason
it had come out for.

‫صلَّى اللَّهُ َعلَْي ِه َو‬ ُّ ِ‫ َح ََّّت إِ ْن َكانُوا لَيُ ِحبُّو َن أَ ْن َُِييءَ ْال َْعَر‬،ُ‫صلَّى اللَّهُ َعلَْي ِه َو آلِِه يَ ْسأَلُهُ َو يَ ْستَ ْف ِه ُمه‬

.ُ‫ت َعْنهُ َو َحفظْتُه‬ ُ ْ‫ك َش ْيءٌ إََِّل َسأَل‬

And it isn’t so that every companion of Rasool-Allahsaww had asked himsaww and understood
it, to the extent that they used to love for the Bedouin to come and ask him saww until they
would hear hissaww speech, and nothing from that passed by measws except Iasws had asked
about it and memorised it.

would lead us (in Salat) during the month of Ramazan’. He asws said: ‘No’, and heasws forbade

Hisham, from Al Sabbah Bin Yahya Al Muzanny, from Al Haris Bin Haseera who said,

‘A group from the companions of Amir Al-Momineenasws narrated to me that heasws said one
day: ‘Call the rich ones to measws, and (tribe of) Bahilah’, and other tribes heasws had named:
‘Let them take their awards, for by the Oneazwj Who Split the seed and Formed the person!
There is no share for them in Al-Islam, and Iasws am a witness and myasws position at the
Fountain, and by Maqam Al-Mahmoud (The Praise-worthy Position)! They are enemies to
measws in the world and the Hereafter, and Iasws shall be seizing the rich with a voracious
seizure.

Bin Qays Al Hilali who said,

‘Amir-Al-Momineenasws preached, so heasws Praised Allahazwj and Extolled Himazwj, then sent
greetings of peace ‘Salam’ upon the Prophetsaww, then said: ‘Indeed! From the fears what
Iasws fear for you are two categories – following of desires and long hopes. As for the
following of desires, it will sway you away from the truth, and as for the long hopes, they
will make you forget the Hereafter.

moved forward (towards you), and for each of these are sons. So be from the sons of the

and there is no Reckoning, but tomorrow is the (day of) Reckoning and no (room to
perform) deeds.

However, the commencement of the Fitna occurs from the following of desires, and (the
man made) rules are followed in opposition to the Commands of Allah azwj, so that a man
would rule over a man (using these rules).

Indeed! Surely the truth, had it been pure, there would have been no differing, and had the
falsehood been pure, there would have been no fear about the one with the proof, but they
take a fistful from this and a fistful from this, so they are mixed together. So that is where
the Satanla rules over hisla friends, and the ones for whom goodness has preceded from
Allahazwj escape from this.

Iasws heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘How will your condition be when you are clothed in
‘Fitna’ (strife) in which the young ones will grow older while the adults would become
elderly. The people will flow towards it (fitna) and take it as a Sunnah. So if something is
altered therein, they will say, ‘The Sunnah has been altered’, and the people would have
become deniers.

‫ َو‬،‫ َو يَتَ َعلَّ ُمو َن لِغَ ِْري الْ َع َم ِل‬،‫َّهو َن لِغَ ِْري اللَّ ِه‬ ِ ِِ َّ ‫ و َكما تَد ُّق‬،‫اْلطَب‬ ِ ُّ ‫ُُثَّ تَ ْشتَ ُّد الْبَلِيَّةُ َو تُ ْسَب‬

.ِ‫يَطْلُبُو َن الدُّنْيَا بِأ َْع َم ِال ْاْل ِخَرة‬

Then the affliction would intensify, and the offspring would become captivated and the
‘Fitna’ (strife) would consume them just as the fire consumes the firewood, or just as the
millstone grinds upon its lower base. And they would learn the Laws for the sake of other
than Allahazwj, and they would learn for the sake of other than doing good deeds, and they
will be coveting the world instead of working for the Hereafter.

Then heasws turned hisasws face towards those from hisasws family and hisasws special ones and
hisasws Shias who were around himasws, so heasws said: ‘The rulers before measws acted in
opposition to Rasool-Allahsaww deliberately breaching the Covenant with himsaww and
altering hissaww Sunnah.

And if Iasws had burdened the people on avoiding it, and turned it back to its place and to
what is used to be in the era of Rasool-Allahsaww, myasws army would disperse from measws to
the extent that there would remain only myselfasws or a few from myasws Shias who recognise
myasws merits and Obligation of myasws Imamate from the Book of Allahazwj, Mighty is Hisazwj

returned to its place where it was placed by Rasool-Allahsaww, and returned the (plantation
of) Fadak to the inheritors of (Syeda) Fatimaasws, and returned to the ‘Sa’a’ (unit of

Rasool-Allahsaww for the people, which were never executed nor were those ever

By Allahazwj, if Iasws were to order the people not to gather in the Month of Ramazan except
for the obligatory (Salats) and make it known to them that their gathering for the optional
Salats (Nawaafil) is an innovation. So some of the people in myasws army would call out to
the ones who are fighting alongside measws, ‘O people of Al-Islam! The Sunnah of Umar has
been changed. Heasws is preventing us from the optional Salat in the Month of Ramazan

the share of the near relatives about which Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Said: if you
believe in Allah and in what We Revealed unto Our servant, on the Day of Distinction, the
day on which the two parties met; [8:41].

So weasws are the ones Meant by the near relatives whom Allahazwj has Joined with
Himselfazwj and with Hisazwj Rasoolsaww. The Exalted Said: so it is for Allah and His Rasool,
and for the near of kin, and the orphans, and the poor, and the travellers, so that it would
not happen to be circulated between the rich ones from you. And whatever the Rasool
gives you, so take it, and whatever he forbids you from, then refrain; and fear Allah, surely
Allah is severe of the Punishment [59:7] to the one who is unjust to them asws. (This is) a
Mercy from Himazwj to usasws and a self-sufficiency by which Allahazwj has Made usasws to be
self-sufficient with.

And Heazwj Bequeathed for it to Hisazwj Prophetsaww and did not Make for usasws a share in the
charity. Allahazwj Honoured Hisazwj Rasoolsaww and Honoured usasws the Peopleasws of the
Household, that Heazwj should (not) Feed usasws from the dirt of the people (charity).

They belied Allahazwj, and belied Hisazwj Rasoolsaww and fought against the Book of Allahazwj
which Speaks of ourasws rights, and prevented from usasws the obligation which Allahazwj has
Obligated for usasws. What have the Peopleasws of the Household of the Prophetsaww faced
from hissaww community, been meted out to usasws after ourasws Prophetsaww, and Allahazwj is
the Helper against the one who is unjust to usasws, and there is no Might and no Power
except by Allahazwj the Exalted, the Magnificent’’.112

Ali Bin Al Husayn Bin Fazzal, from Ahmad Bin Al-Hassan, from Amro Bin Saeed Al Madainy, from Musaddiq Bin
Sadaqah, from Ammar,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I asked himasws about the Salat during a
month of Ramazan in the Masjids (Taraweeh). Heasws said: ‘When Amir Al-Momineenasws
arrived at Al-Kufa, heasws instructed Al-Hassanasws Bin Aliasws to call out among the people:
‘There is no Salat during a month of Ramazan in the Masajids in congregation’ (Taraweeh).

So, Al-Hassanasws Bin Aliasws called out among the people with what heasws had been
instructed with. When the people heard the words of Al-Hassanasws Bin Aliasws, they shouted,
‘Waah Umar! Waah Umar!’

When heasws returned to Amir Al-Momineenasws heasws said to himasws: ‘What are these

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – Ali Bin Al-Hassan Al Muwaddib, from Al Barqy and Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin
Al-Hassan Al Taymi, altogether from Ismail Bin Mihran, from Abdullah Bin Al Haris, from Jabir,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Amir-Al-Momineenasws gave a sermon to the people at
Siffeen, so heasws Praised Allahazwj and Extolled Himazwj, and sent greetings upon the
Prophetsaww, then said: ‘Having said that, Allahazwj the Exalted has Made myasws rights to be
obligatory upon you all as the Masterasws of the Command (Wali-al-Amr) and myasws status
which Allahazwj Revealed for you, and similarly you have rights upon measws as Iasws have
upon you.

And the right is the most beautiful of the things in description; and most expansive in
sharing. There is no other thing which is applied on one’s favour without being applied
against him and it is not applied against him unless it is applied in his favour. The only one
for whom it flows for and does not flow against is Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic only apart
from Hisazwj creatures, for Heazwj is Powerful over Hisazwj servants, and Hisazwj Justice
regarding everything that Heazwj Judges.

But Heazwj Made Hisazwj Rights upon the servants that they should be obedient to Himazwj,
and Made expiation against them by the good Rewards as Grace from Him azwj, and the
prolonged Generosity, and Expanding by increasing it for the one who is deserving of it.

Then Heazwj Made from Hisazwj Rights, certain rights to be obligated for some people upon
some other people. Heazwj Made it such that it obligates some of them for the others and
does not obligate some except by the others.

The greatest of what Allahazwj has Necessitated from these rights is the rights of the
governor upon the citizens and the rights of the citizens upon the governor, an obligation
which Allahazwj has Obligated upon one and all. Heazwj has Made it to be a system for them
and as strength for their Religion, and the establishment of the true Sunnah among them.
The citizens will not be corrected except by the governor being correct, nor will the
governor be correct except by the integrity of the citizens.

If the citizens fulfil the rights to the governor and the governor fulfils their rights as well, the
truth will be strengthened between them. The manifesto of the Religion would be
established, and the landmarks of justice would find fairness, and the Sunnah would flow
smoothly. That would make life prosperous, and they would yearn for the survival of the
government, and the enemies would despair from their ambitions.

And if the citizens overcome the governor and the governor seeks to overcome them that
are where the differences of speech emerge. The yearning of tyranny appears, and
abundance of the lawlessness in the Religion, and the landmarks of the Sunnah are left.
They act by the desires, effects vanish, and illnesses of the souls abound. There is no fear of
the penalties for infringement of the Laws, nor does confronting the falsehood seem great.

َ َُ

So that is where the humiliation of the righteous and the honour for the evil ones is, and the
ruination of the cities, and the greater the consequences will be for the servants in the
presence of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic.

So come, O you people, to the co-operation to the obedience to Allahazwj Mighty and
Majestic, and the establishment by Hisazwj Justice, and the loyalty to Hisazwj Covenant, and
the fairness to Himazwj is all of Hisazwj Rights, for there is nothing more needed for the
servants than for advising with regards to that, and the beautiful co-operation to Himazwj,
and there is no one who intensifies his passion for striving for the Pleasure of Allahazwj to be
able to reach its deserving point of fulfilling the Rights to Allah azwj.

Then there is person, no matter how great his status regarding the truth, how magnified his
preference regarding the truth is, would not be needless from the co-operation upon what
Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Burdened him with from Hisazwj Rights. And there is no
person, no matter how low he is in the affairs, and the eyes are looking down upon him, can
remain without being helped upon or given support. And the people of the merits and the
people of the Favours are more frequently in need of that, and everyone is in need of
Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic equally’.

A man from hisasws army answered himasws. No one knew who he was and it is said that he
had never been seen in hisasws army before that day, nor was he seen after it. He stood up
and beautifully Extolled Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic by what the afflictions Heazwj had
Placed upon them, and Hisazwj Favours from the Obligation of Hisazwj rights against them, and
accepted all what had been mentioned of the changing conditions with himasws and with
them.

Then said, ‘Youasws are our Commander, and we are yourasws citizens. It is by youasws that
Allahazwj Brought us out of the humiliation and it is by your asws strength that Heazwj Freed
Hisazwj servant from the chains. So choose for us, and we will go by your asws choice, and
make a plan and we would go by yourasws plan, for youasws are a truthful speaker, and the
successful ruler, and the authorised king. It is not permissible for us to disobey you asws in
anything, nor do we compare our knowledge with yourasws knowledge. Youasws are great in
regard to that choice, in our eyes, and yourasws virtues are majestic within us’.

Magnifies the Majesty of Allahazwj within himself and exalts Hisazwj position in his heart,

everything else would seem little to him. And the one most deserving to be like that is the
one to whom the Bounties of Allahazwj are great as well as Hisazwj Kind Favours to him, for no
one would magnify the Bounties of Allahazwj except that the Rights of Allahazwj Increase upon
him.

And the lowest of the conditions of the governor in the presence of the righteous people is
when he thinks of the love for pride and bases his affairs upon the arrogance, and I asws did
not like to become lost in your thoughts that Iasws would love the praise and listening to the
praise. And Iasws am not like that. Thanks be to Allahazwj.

And had Iasws loved what you said, Iasws would have abandoned it due to it lowering me asws
for the Sake of Allahazwj that Iasws should take to magnificence and greatness when Heazwj is
more deserving of it. Maybe the people consider it sweet to be praised after the affliction.
So do not praise measws with beautiful praises as it may take myasws soul out from being for
the Sake of Allahazwj, and the remainder of the rights which Iasws have yet to fulfil and the
obligations which there is no escape from performing these.

So, do not speak to measws as you speak to the tyrants, and do not have reservations from
measws like you have reservations in the presence of the unresponsive people, and do not
flatter measws, and do not think that Iasws consider it heavy regarding the right which is said
to measws, or that Iasws seek self-greatness, for it is not correct for measws. The one who
considers the rights to be a burden if they are told to him, or the justice if it is presented to
him, it would become heavier for him to act in accordance with these two.

So do not withhold from measws speaking about the rights, or consultation with justice, for
Iasws not, with regards to myselfasws, above mistakes, nor do Iasws feel secure from that in
myasws deeds except if Allahazwj Suffices for myselfasws in matter which Heazwj has more
Control over than what Iasws have. But rather, Iasws and you all are servants, belonging to the
Lordazwj. There is no lord apart from Himazwj. Heazwj Owns us what we do not own ourselves,
and Took us out from what we used to be in to be in a situation which was correct for us.
Heazwj Protected us after straying, by the Guidance. Heazwj Gave us the vision after the
blindness.

yourselfasws and over us, for we are obedient with regards to whatever you asws order us for,
and we submit to the commands along with that regarding what is beneficial for us’.

Amir-Al-Momineenasws answered him, so heasws said: ‘And Iasws am binding you in the
Presence of Allahazwj to myselfasws for your knowing that Iasws am the guardian for your
matters, for very shortly you will be gathered with measws. And Iasws warn you of the Pausing
in front of Himazwj, and the Questioning about what we were in, then some of us will testify
against the others, so do not testify today against what you will be testifying tomorrow, for

there is nothing hidden from Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, nor is it permitted in Hisazwj
Presence except for the good advice of the chests in all of the matters’.

The man answered himasws, and it was said that the man was never seen again after this
speech of his to Amir-Al-Momineenasws, and he was bursting with emotion in his chest, and
heasws spoke, and wailed which cut off his speech, and was anxious and choking, breaking his
voice, being at the verge of collapse.

He Praised Allahazwj and Extolled Himazwj, then complained to Himazwj of the horrors of what
he had been cured of, from the great dangers, and the prolonged humiliation regarding the
mischief to take place during hisasws era, and the rebellions against himasws and the cutting
off of what was from hisasws government.

Then he implored the matter to Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic of the Bestowing of Favours
on himasws, and the Dispelling (dangers) from himasws, and then Extolled Himazwj in a goodly
manner. He said, ‘O Lordazwj of the servants, and O Giver of tranquillity to the cities! How
can we speak of Yourazwj Grace, and how can we reach Yourazwj Attributes from Yourazwj
Actions, and for me to reach the reality of the beauty of Your azwj Praise, or count the beauty
of Yourazwj Favours. So how can we, and it is due to youasws that the Bounties of Allahazwj
have flowed towards us, and it is upon yourasws hands that the causes of the good have
arrived to us.

youasws that Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Took us out from horrors of those dangers, and by
whom did Heazwj Rescue us from the thrones of distress, and by whom except by youasws did
Allahazwj Make apparent the landmarks of our Religion, and Corrected what was spoilt from
our Religion until we came to be mentioned, after the tyranny.

all of yourasws oaths to us.

Youasws were a witness for the ones who were absent from us, and a successor of the
Peopleasws of the Household for us. And youasws were the strength of our weak ones, and the
wealth of our poor ones, and a pillar for our great ones. It was your asws justice that brought
us together in the matters, and accommodated us regarding the truth by yourasws patience.
Youasws were, for us a familiarity if we saw youasws, and tranquillity whenever we mentioned
youasws. So which is the good deed, which youasws did not perform, and which is the
righteous deeds which youasws did not act upon?

And had it not been for the matter which we fear for you asws from it reaching you, which our
efforts could change, and our strengths could defend you asws from it, we would be permitted
to sacrifice ourselves for yourasws defence, and repulse it from youasws by ourselves and our
sons, and we would put ourselves and our sons before youasws. And we would make this
choice, and reduce its danger from youasws, and we would stand in our efforts in an attempt
to defend youasws from yourasws enemies.

But Heazwj is an Authority, which cannot be stopped, and a Strength which cannot decline,
and a Lordazwj Who cannot be overcome. If Heazwj was to Bestow a Favour to us by
Bestowing upon youasws good health, and be Merciful towards us by Keeping youasws alive,
and be Compassionate to us by Relieving youasws of these difficulties from yourasws situation
to Keep youasws safe for us, and remain with us in front of us, we would narrate appreciation
to Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic for that, and Magnify Himazwj, and Mention Himazwj
constantly, and distribute half of our wealth as charity, and free half of our slaves, and
narrate to Himazwj with humbleness in ourselves, and be submissive in all of our affairs.

Chosen for youasws of what is with Himazwj over what youasws used to be in. But, we would
weep if this authority (government) were to return back to humiliation, and for the Religion
and the world to be consumed and we do not see for you asws a successor we can take our

Heasws said: ‘The Praise is due to Allahazwj to Whom belongs all Praise, and Who is extremely
Generous. The descriptions do not fathom Himazwj nor is Heazwj limited by the languages, nor
can Heazwj be understood by the wildest imaginations. And Iasws testify that there is no god
except Allahazwj, One with no associates to Himazwj, and that Muhammadsaww is Rasoolsaww of
Allahazwj, a Prophetsaww of Guidance and a place for the piety, and a Messenger saww of the
Highest Lordazwj whosaww came with the Truth from the Presence of the Truth, to warn by the
Enlightening Quran and the Illuminating Proof. Hesaww declared by the Manifest Book and
passed away upon what the former Messengersas had passed away.

Having said that, O you people! Do not speak of the men who were immersed in the world,
and acquired properties, and made canals to flow, and rode plenty of animals, and clothed
themselves with soft clothing, for that would became a source of shame and ignominy for
them if the Forgiver does not Forgive them. If Iasws were to prevent them from what they
used to be in (affluent lifestyle) and take them to what is necessary for them, they would
lose all that and they would be saying that the son asws of Abu Talibasws has been unjust to us
and has prohibited us and prevented us from our rights.

Allahazwj is the Helper against the one who (Prays) in our direction (Qiblah), and eats the
animals slaughtered by us, and believes by our Prophet saww, and testifies to what we testify,
and enters our Religion, weasws will apply upon him the Judgements of the Quran, and the
Limits of Al-Islam. There is no preference for anyone over anyone else except by the piety.
Indeed! The pious ones have the highest Rewards in the Presence of Allah azwj the Exalted,
and the best Recompense and the Return. Allahazwj did not Make the world to be for the
pious ones as a form of Reward, and what is in the Presence of Allah azwj is better for the
righteous.

People of the religion of Allahazwj! Consider what you find in the Book of Allah azwj and what
you leave in the presence of the Rasool-Allahsaww and what you have been striving by for the
Sake of Allahazwj, either by nobility, or by lineage, or by deeds, or by obedience, or devotion,
and regarding what you were interested in.

So rush to your destinations, may Allahazwj have mercy upon you, which you have been
Commanded to construct. Assets, which will not spoil and will remain, and will not diminish.
The dwellings to which you have received invitations for, and are being encouraged to
acquire, and recommended to be interested in, and the Rewards are Made to be in His azwj
Presence.

Seek the completion of the Bounties of Allahazwj by the submission to Hisazwj Judgement, and
the appreciation for Hisazwj Favours. The one, who is unhappy with this, is not from us asws,
nor is he to usasws. The rulers who judge by the Judgement of Allah azwj, without being
anxious from that, those are the successful ones’. (And in another copy): ‘They are not
anxious, and those are the ones who have no fear upon them, nor shall they grieve’).

And heasws said: ‘And Iasws will discipline you with myasws whip which I discipline myasws family
with, so do not worry, and Iasws will be striking you by my whip by which Iasws establish the

Kitab Al Gharaat of Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Al Saqafi, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin usman, from Ali Bin
AbuSayf Al Madainy, from Abu Hubab, from Rabie and Umarah who both said,

‘A group from the companions of Aliasws walked to himasws and they said, ‘O Amir Al-
Momineenasws! Give this wealth and give preference to these nobles from the Arabs and
Quraysh over the slaves and the non-Arabs and ones from the people whose opposition and
fleeing youasws fear’.

Muawiya and he had given him.

Aliasws said to them: ‘Are you instructing me that Iasws seek the help through the tyranny?! By
Allahazwj! Iasws will not do so for as long as the sun emerges and for as long are stars are
shining in the sky! By Allahazwj! If their wealth was for measws, Iasws would have sympathized
between them, so how can it be and it is not except their own wealth?!

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then heasws was silent for a long while, then said: ‘One who had
wealth for him, so it is him and the mischief! Surely, giving his the wealth in other than his
right would be a wasting and extravagance, and it is a mention (subject of discussion) for its
taker among the people, and it will be a lowering in the Presence of Allah azwj, and a person
who will not place his wealth in other than its right (way) and with other than its rightful
ones except Allahazwj would Deprive him of their thanks, and their love would be for
someone else.

So, if there does remain someone with him who loves him and manifests the smile to him,
he would be an adulator and a liar, and rather his intention would be to take something
from his companion like the one who used to come to him before. If the slipper of his
companion slips, and he is needy to his assistance and suffice him, he will be the worst
friend and (just) puff his cheeks.

And know, you have become Bedouins after the emigration, and allied after the
partisanship. You have not link from Al-Islam except with its name, nor are you knowing
from the Eman except its ritual. You are saying, ‘The Fire (yes), and not the shame’, as if you
are intending that you will overturn Al-Islam upon its face violating its sanctity, and breaking
its Covenant which Allahazwj has Placed it for you, a Sanctuary in Hisazwj earth and a security
between Hisazwj creatures.

pressing measws to hissaww chest and covering measws in hissaww shawl and touching measws

And know, may Allahazwj have Mercy on you all, you are in an era there are few speakers of
the truth during it, and tongues are scarce from the truthfulness, and the one sticking to the
truth is disgraced. Its people are secluding upon the disobedience, getting used to the
vulgarities. Their young ones are violent, their youth are sinful, their learned are hypocrites,
and their readers (of the Quran) are insincere. Their small ones are not revering their elders,
nor are their rich supporting their poor’’.129

And Iasws testify that Muhammadsaww is Hisazwj servant, and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, and Hisazwj
Highborn. Neither are hissaww merits hidden, nor can hissaww loss be replaced. The cities were
illuminated by himsaww after the darkness of straying and the overwhelming ignorance, and
the habitual rudeness, and the people were permitting the Prohibition(s) and humiliating
the wise ones, living upon a gap period (without any Prophetsas) and dying upon Kufr.

Then you, community of Arabs, are the aim of calamities which have drawn near, therefore
fear the intoxication of the bounties (wealth), and be cautioned with the punishment to
befall, and be steadfast during the darkness of austerity, and crookedness of the Fitna
during the emergence of its foetus (birth), and appearance of its snares, and its axis is

It begins in hidden steps and develops into a manifest atrocity. Its youthfulness is like the
youthfulness of the adolescent boy and its impacts are like the impacts of peace (and
harmony). The oppressors inherit it by the agreements, their first one being a guide to their
last one, and their last one being led by their first one. They are competing regarding a lowly
world and are leaping upon a stinking carcass, and after a little while the follower will
disavow from the followed, and the leader from the led. They will separate with the hatred
(for each other), and will be curing during the meeting.

One who approaches towards it, it would shatter him, and one who strives in it and it would
crush him. They will bruise each other during it like the bruising by the donkeys in the herd
enclosure. The twists of the rope would be restless, and the faces of the affairs would be

The Bedouins will be pounded by its hammers and crushed by all of it. The lone marchers
will be wasted in its dust and the riders would be destroyed in its path. It will arrive with
bitterness of the Decree and exude blood (instead of) milk, and the minarets of religion
would be dented, and the ties of certainty will be broken.

The clever will flee from it and the evil ones will manage it, thundering, flashing (like
lightning), uncovering from a leg. The kinship would be terminated during it and Al-Islam
would be separated upon it. Its healthy one would be sick (affected) and its thoughtful one
would stay’.

And from it: ‘Between the un-avenged slain ones and the sheltered fearful ones, they will be
confused by the ties of oaths, and deceptive beliefs. So, do not become monuments of Fitna
and flags of innovations, and stick to what the rope of unity is tied upon, and elements of
obedience are built upon, and proceed to Allahazwj as oppressed, and do not proceed to
Himasws as oppressors.

‘Heazwj Sent Muhammadsaww with the truth to Extract Hisazwj servants from worshipping the
idols to Hisazwj worship, and from obedience of Satanla to Hisazwj obedience, (having Sent
himsaww) with the Quran of Hisazwj Explanations and Hisazwj Rules, to teach the servants of
their Lordazwj when they were ignoring Himazwj, and to acknowledge Himazwj when they had
rejected Himazwj, and to affirm Himazwj when they had denied Himazwj.

Heazwj Showed them of Hisazwj Power, and Frightening them from Hisazwj Influence, and how
Heazwj Obliterated the one Heazwj Obliterated by exemplary Punishments, and Cut down the
one Heazwj Cut down with the Retribution.

There will come a time upon you during it; there would neither be anything more hidden
than the truth nor more apparent than the falsehood, nor anything more frequent than lies
upon Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww. And there wouldn’t be commodity more valueless in
the view of the people of that time than the Book (Quran) when it is being recited as is the
right of its recitation, nor anything more valuable than it when it is altered from its places,
nor would there be anything more disliked in the country than the act of kindness nor more
recognise than the evil.

The bearers of the Book would have discarded it and its memorisers would have forgotten
it. In those days, the Book and its people would be exiled, expelled, and these are two
companions accompanying each other in one path. No one will grant them asylum. During
that time the Book and its people would among the people, but they would not be among
them, and with them without being with them, because the straying cannot be harmonious
to the guidance even if they are together.

And the people will be upon the sects and they would be separate from the community. It is
as if they are leaders of the Book and the Book is not their leader. There will not remain with
them except its name, nor will they understand except its writing and its sheets. And from
before that they would be inflicting hardships upon the righteous ones will be every
difficulty, and they would name their truthfulness upon Allah azwj as being a libel, and they
would make the punishment of the evil deed to be regarding the good deed.

And rather the ones before you were destroyed due to the their prolonged hopes and their
absent mindedness of their deaths, until the threat descended with them, which the
excuses were returned from it, and the repentance was raised away from it, and the
Punishment and the Retribution was released with it.

Hisazwj Words as a pointer would be guided to that which is most upright, for surely, the one
Sheltered by Allahazwj is secure and Hisazwj enemies are fearful.

And it is not befitting for the one who recognises the Magnificence of Allah azwj that he be
magnified, for the rising of the ones who know what is the Magnificence of Allah azwj is that
they should be humbling to Himazwj, and safety of the ones who know what Hisazwj Power is,
they should be submitting to Himazwj. So, do not flee from the truth like the fleeing of the
healthy one from the scabby (diseased), and the cured one from the one with illness.

The world was not sweetened for you in its pleasures, nor were you enabled from the
udders of its leftovers, except after whatever you came across, its reins were trailing, its
Prohibitions, in the presence of a people had come to be at the status of the thorn-less lotus
and its Permissible(s) were remote, not-existent.

And by Allahazwj, you will come across it as an extended shade to a numbered term. So, the
earth would be empty for you and your hands would be extended in it, and hand of the
leaders would be withheld from you, and your swords would be overcoming upon it and
they swords would be withheld from you.

Indeed! And for every blood is an avenger, and for every right there is a seeker, and that the
avenger regarding ourasws blood is like the judge regarding a right of hisasws own self, and by
Allahazwj, heasws is the one, the one heasws seeks will not frustrate himasws nor will the one
fleeing escape from himasws.

It isn’t upon the Imamasws except what heasws has been loaded upon with the Commands of

revival of the Sunnah, and establishing the legal penalties upon its deserving ones, and
implementation of the two portions (shares) upon its rightful ones.

(The book) ‘Nahj (Al Balagah)’ –

‘And from a sermon of hisasws, and it is from the sermons of the future events: ‘The Praise is
for Allahazwj, the Evident to Hisazwj creatures by Hisazwj creation, the Apparent to their hearts
by Hisazwj Arguments. Heazwj Created the creation from without any forethought, when the
forethought can only be linked to the one with a mind (thinking organ), and Heazwj isn’t with
a thinking organ within Himselfazwj. Hisazwj Knowledge moved in the interior of the unseen
veils and surround the obscure beliefs of the secrets.

Bat’ha, and lamps for the darkness, and springs of wisdom’.

And from it: ‘Hesaww was a physician of the households of Bat’ha. Hesaww prepared hissaww
ointments and heated up hissaww instruments, placing from that wherever there was a need
to it, from the blind hearts, and deaf ears, and mute tongues, pursuing the places of
heedlessness with hissaww medications and places of confusion.

But they did not take illumination with the rays of wisdom and were not ignited by the
sparks of the shining knowledge. So during that, they were like the grazing cattle and hard
rocks.

Iasws see straying to have stood up upon its leaders, and spread out with its branches,
weighing you down with its burdens, and confusing you with its transactions. Its leader is
outside from the religion being upon the straying. In those days, there would not remain
(anyone) from you except as a residue like the residue of the (cooking) pot, or dust like the

Listen intently from your Divine leader and present your hearts, and be wakeful if he asws

During that, the falsehood would seize its seizure, and the ignorance would ride its ride, and
the tyrants would be mighty and the callers would be scarce, and the times have assaulted
like the assaults of the rapacious predators, and the precision of the falsehood would roll
after silence, and the people would establish brotherhood upon the immoralities and
forsaking upon religion, and they would love each other upon the lies, and hate each other

And the people of that time would be wolves, and its rulers would be predators, and its

the truthfulness would be raided and the lies would win, and the cordiality would be utilised

O you people! The most rightful of the people with this command is their straightest upon
it, and their most working with the Commands of Allah azwj in it. If a rioter riots, he would be
called to repent, and if he refuses, he would be fought. And by myasws life! If the Imamate
was not to be decided until the generality of the people are present, there would be no way
to that, but its people (present) ones would be deciding upon the ones absent from it, then
it would be for the one present that he retracts nor for the absentee than he chooses
(someone else).

(The book) ‘Nahj (Al Balagah)’ –

‘Heazwj Sent himsaww when there was a gap period from the Messengersas, and a prolonged
slumber from the communities, and an aim from the Fitna, and scattering of the affairs, and
blazes from the wars, and the world was eclipsed from the Noor, the deception was
prevailing, when there was paleness from its leaves, and despair from its fruits, and
evaporation of its waters (springs).

The flags of guidance had been obscured and the flags of ruination had appeared. It was
grim to its people, frowning in the faces of its seekers. Its fruit was the Fitna and its food
was the carcass, and its motto was the fear, and its garment was the sword.

making you listen to it (again), and Iasws am not making you listen today to anything other

you have been given similar to it in this time period.

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘One day while Amir Al-Momineenasws was seated in the
Masjid and hisasws companions were around himasws, a man from hisasws Shias came to
himasws. He said to himasws, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! Allahazwj Knows I make to be Hisazwj

Amir Al-Momineenasws said to him: ‘You speak the truth! As for the poverty, take a robe, for
the poverty is quicker to our Shias than the torrent is to the bottom of the valley!’

He (the narrator) said, ‘And over there was a man from the Kharijites, and a companion of
his was near from Amir Al-Momineenasws. One of them said, ‘Allahazwj, (have you) seen a day
like today at all? A man came to him and said, ‘I love you asws’, and heasws said to him: ‘You

The other one said to him, ‘What are you denying from that! Could he asws have found any
escape, when it was said to himasws, ‘I love youasws’, that heasws should be saying: ‘You are
speaking the truth’? Do you know that I love himasws (as well)?’ He said, ‘No’. He said, ‘I shall
say to him similar to what the man had said to him, and he asws would respond to measws

The man stood and said to himasws similar to the words of the first man. Amir Al-
Momineenasws looked at him for a while, then said: ‘By Allahazwj! You are lying. You neither
love measws nor have you loved measws even for a day’.

Abu Bakr and Umar had worked with’.

Kitab Suleym Bin Qays – from Aban, from him having said,

‘Amir Al-Momineenasws ascended the pulpit, praised Allahazwj and extolled Himazwj and said:
‘O you people! Iasws am the one who gouged out the eye of the ‘Fitna’ (strife) and it was not
for anyone apart from measws to be able to do that.

And Iasws say by Allahazwj, had Iasws not been among you all, you would not have fought
against the people of the Camel (Al-Jamal), nor the people of Siffeen, nor the people of Al-
Nahrawan.

And Iasws say by Allahazwj, if you had spoken and claimed what Allahazwj has Decreed upon the
tongue of Hisazwj Prophetsaww you would have visualised and recognised the error of those
that were killed, and the guidance that we are on.

of the questioners will get frustrated and many of them will be humiliated by trying to find
solutions (to their problems). And that will happen when you will be forced into wars and it
will engulf the entire world, and the world will become a scourge for you all until such time
when Allahazwj will Grant a victory through the remainder of the righteous ones.

A man stood up and said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws, narrated to us about the ‘Fitna’ (strife).

Heasws said: ‘The ‘Fitna’ when it comes, places you in doubt’. And in another report: ‘Creates
doubt, and when it goes away it becomes obvious (leaves behind its disastrous effects). And
the ‘Fitna’ has waves for it like the waves of the sea and gusts like the gusts of the wind
(hurricane), affecting one country and leaving another. So look at the people asws who were
the standard bearers on the Day of Badr. Help themasws and you will be helped and
rewarded and be excused.

Iasws fear the Fitna. Nay! Iasws fear for your all the ‘Fitna’ of the clan of Umayya. It will be
blind, deaf, and have levels of darkness. Its Fitna will be general but its affliction will be
specific. It will trouble the one who sees it, and stray the one who would avoid it. Its
wrongful ones will force themselves upon its rightful ones, filling the earth with innovation,
injustice and oppression. The first one to End its tyranny and Break its pillars and Remove its
pegs will be no one but Allahazwj the Lordazwj of the Worlds, the Crusher of the tyrants.

Indeed! You will find the clan of Umayya to be evil lords after me asws, like the teeth of a
canine biting by it, hitting by its hands and striking by its legs and preventing from its pearls.
And Iasws swear by Allahazwj, their Fitna will not cease until not one of you will be able to help
himself but like the help of the bad slave for his master, if he is absent he abuses him, and if
he is present, he obeys him. And Iasws swear by Allahazwj, even if you disperse to be
underneath each of the stars, Allahazwj will Gather you all for their evil days.

The man said, ‘Will there be a community after that, O Amir Al-Momineen?’ Heasws said:
‘There will be a diverse community. Your charities and your Hajj and your travels will be one,
but your hearts will be different’.

One of them said, ‘How will their hearts be different?’ Heasws said: ‘Like this’ – and tangled
hisasws fingers – then said: ‘This one will kill this one, and this one will kill this one. There will
be trouble after trouble, and the unfairness of the era of ignorance will remain. There will
not be a minaret of guidance or a flag to be seen. We asws, the Peopleasws of the Household
will be rescued from it, and weasws will not be preaching ‘calling’ (that will be the time of
Taqeeya during that time).

Heasws said: ‘Look at the Peopleasws of the Household of your Prophetsaww. If theyasws remain
at theirasws homes, you remain at your homes, and if theyasws ask you for your help, help
them so that you will be helped and be excused, for theyasws will never exit you from
guidance, and will never call you all to destruction, and do not place yourselves in front of
themasws or else you will be killed by the afflictions and your enemies will rejoice over you.

Heasws said: ‘Allahazwj will Effect the Release from the affliction by a manasws from myasws
Household, but many will turn against himajfj. Then Heazwj will Raise them to the oneasws who
will swallow up their afflictions and quench them with a consoling cup, and he asws will
neither give them nor will heasws accept from them anything except with the sword.

There will be (at that time) troubles after troubles, he asws will carry the sword for eight
months, to the extent that the Quraysh would wish to give the whole world and whatever it
contains (in order to find relief) to be able to see me asws at least once, so they can give me

back whatever they had taken from me. But he (Imam e Zaman ajfj) will be very severe on
them (without giving them any allowances) until they will say, ‘This man is not from the
Quraysh. Had heasws been from the Quraysh and from the children of Fatimaasws, heasws
would be merciful to us’.

Thus Allahazwj will Give himasws victory over the clan of Umayya. Allahazwj would Make them:
(They are) Accursed! Wherever they are found they shall be seized and killed with a
massacre [33:61] Being a Sunnah of Allah regarding those who have gone before, and you
will never find any alteration in the Sunnah of Allah [33:62].

Having said that, it does not have to be a hand mill in order to grind the misguidance, for the
mill stands upon its pole. Indeed! When it is grinding, it has a limit to it, and upon Allah azwj
there is not. Indeed! Myselfasws and myasws good Familyasws and the good ones from myasws
relatives are the most forbearing of the people when they are young and the most
knowledgeable of them in their adulthood.

Religion due to misguidance, and the one who abandons it will perish (meet destruction),
and the one who adheres to it will catch up.

We Peopleasws of the Household, we teach from the Knowledge of Allahazwj, and it is from
the Wisdom of Allahazwj that we speak truthfully, and it is from the truthful speech that
weasws hear. So, if you all were to follow usasws, you will be guided by ourasws vision, and if
you turn away from usasws you will be Punished by Allahazwj by ourasws hands or in whatever
manner that Heazwj so Desires. We are the zenith of Islam. It is by usasws that the one who
lags behind can catch up, and the one who repents can return.

By Allahazwj, if you do not make haste and truth is not delayed, Iasws would give you the news
of that which would even be understood by the youths of the Arabs and their friends.
However, do not ask the Peopleasws of the Household of Muhammadsaww about the
knowledge before its time, and do not ask themasws for the wealth during hardship, lest you
consider themasws to be miserly, for miserliness is not from themasws.

And assume (honourable) positions in your dwellings rather becoming like the wandering

So Heazwj Made themasws to be the ‘Signs’. The one who honours them asws will be in
obedience, and the one who disregards themasws will be disobedient. And Heazwj Made the
Reward for the obedient ones to be blissful in their faces in the House of Safety and the
eternity in which they will not separate from their families, and Made the Punishment for
the people of disobedience to be the Fire which has been ignited by His azwj Wrath. and Allah
is not unjust to them, but they were unjust to their own selves [16:33].

so that Iasws look at the kingdom. There is nothing in the past that is hidden from me asws and
nor I have missed from what would to take place either, and there is no one associated with
measws in what myasws Lordazwj will Make measws to witness on the Day when the witnesses
are established.

The people are destroyed in their entirety?’ I said, ‘The people of the east and the west!’

Then he (the narrator) said, ‘And Amro mentioned the beginning of his Islam and was
among the camels of his family (tending them), and they were people of a pact with Rasool-

Rasool-Allahsaww had sent them among a dispatch.

Amro said, ‘ They came until they ended up to me at the end of the day, and I instructed my
youths, so they slaughtered a camel and carried the milk to the group. The group spent the
night feeding from the meat whatever they so desires to and drinking from the milk, then in
the morning, I said, ‘You are not to go anywhere until you eat and drink’. A man from them
said (something) then laughed towards his companions. I said, ‘And from what do you

The messenger of Muawiya delivered what she had said. He sent a message to her, saying to
her, ‘Are you a speaker of what you said?’ She said, ‘Yes, neither a denier of it nor offering
any excuse from it’. He said to her, ‘Get out from my city!’ She said, ‘I shall do so. By
Allahazwj! It is not a homeland for me nor am I going in it to any prison, and my vigil has
prolonged with it, and my lesson has been well-known with it, and my religiousness has
increased during it from without there being anything what my eyes could be delighted
with’.

Revealed in the Book’.

Al-Basra to be for Talha and the governorate of Al-Kufa to be from Al-Zubeyr, and write to
Muawiya and remind him of the kinship, and the connections, and acknowledge to him with
the governorate of Syria until he pledges allegiance to youasws.

Hesaww said to him: ‘Woe be unto you! Sell the palm tree to this one and take its price’. He

said, ‘I will not do so’. Hesaww said: ‘Then buy his orchard from him’. He said, ‘I will not do
so’. Hesaww said: ‘Then leave this palm tree for measws and for you would be the Paradise’. He
said, ‘I will not do so’. Hesaww said to the Helpers: ‘Go and cut down his palm tree, for there
is nothing for him in it’’.

(a commander) upon the army of Ibn Ziyad, and he was the most eager of the people to the
going out to Al Husaynasws and fight himasws.

with Muawiya. Heasws said: ‘And what is Al-Mugheira!? But rather his becoming a Muslim
was for mischief and treachery. He betrayed it by a number of his people. He fled and came
to the Prophetsaww like the one sheltering with Al-Islam.

And it is reported by Ibrahim that from the ones who separated from Ali asws was Yazeed Bin
Hujaya Al-Taymi, and heasws had employed him (as a governor) upon Al-Rayy. He short-
changed in the taxes and concealed it for himself. Aliasws withheld him and made hisasws slave
Sa’ad to be with him. Yazeed drew his ride closer while Sa’ad was sleeping and joined with
Muawiya, and he wrote a poem to Al-Iraq condemning Aliasws in it, and informed himasws that
he was hisasws enemy.

And Yazeed Bin Khasfa stood up, and he was from the Shias of Ali asws. He said, ‘Leave the son

him, and Ziyad grabbed his hand and took him out from the Masjid, and went on to walk
with him and wiping the dust from his face, and Ifaq was saying, ‘By Allah azwj! I do not love
what evil you had done and desired. By Allahazwj! I do not love you what did not differ, the

more evil for you’.

And from them is Al-Najashi the poet. And the reason for the separation of Al-Najashy is
that he drank the wine at Al-Kufa during the first day from a month of Ramazan. They came
with him to Aliasws. Heasws made him stand in his trouser and struck him eighty (lashes), then
increased it by twenty. He said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! As for the legal penalty, I have
recognised it, but what are these extra?’ Heasws said: ‘For your audacity upon Allahazwj, and
your breaking your Fast during a month of Ramazan’. He was angered and joined with
Muawiya and satirised Aliasws (in his poems)’’.180

And the author of the book ‘Kitab Al Gharaat’ said,

‘When Aliasws established the legal penalty on Al-Najashy, the Yememite was angered. Tariq
Bin Abdullah entered to see himasws. He said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! We are not used to
see that the people of disobedience and the obedience, and the people of sectarianism and
the community, in the presence of the just ruler and the Mine of merit, are alike in the
recompense, until we saw what happened from your dealings with the brother of Al-Haris.
So, our chests are angered and our affairs are scattered, and you are carrying us upon the
seriousness which we saw the way to the Fire for the one who indulges in it’.

Heasws said: and it is certainly a difficult thing except upon the humble ones [2:45]. O
brother of Nahd! And is he except a man from the Muslims having violated a sanctity from
the Sanctities of Allahazwj?! Thus, weasws establish a legal penalty upon him for it would be an
expiation. Allahazwj the Exalted is Saying: and do not let hatred of a people make you unjust;

arrive to his brotherasws Amir Al-Momineenasws at Al-Kufa to beg for hisasws help. Heasws
presented hisasws own award (government pay) to him. Aqeel said, ‘But rather I want from

When Aliasws had prayed the Friday Salat, heasws said to him: ‘O Aqeel! What are you saying
regarding the one who betrays them all?’ He said, ‘Worst man’. He asws said: ‘Then you are
instructing me that Iasws betray them and give it to you’.

‫ يا أبا يزيد أنا خري لك أم علي؟ قال‬:‫ و قال له‬،‫ فأمر له [معاوية] يوم قدومه ِبائة ألف درهم‬،‫فلما خرج [عقيل ] من عنده شخص إَل معاوية‬

When Aqeel went out from hisasws presence, he went to Muawiya. Muawiya, on the day of
his arrival, order with one hundred thousand Dirhams on the day of his arrival, and said to
him, ‘O Abu Yazeed! Am I better for you or Aliasws?’ Aqeel said, ‘I found Aliasws looking out for
himselfasws than you do, and I find you looking out for me (more) than you do for yourself’.

And Muawiya said to Aqeel, ‘Among you, O Clan of Hashimas, is a leniency’. He said, ‘Yes,
among us is leniency from without any weakness, and honour from without any pride, and
your leniency, O Muawiya, is treachery, and your protection is Kufr’.

Muawiya said, ‘And not all this, O Abu Yazeed’.

Aqeel said, ‘The one with wisdom, before this day, did not chide and the human being did
not acquire knowledge except to learn. The foolishness is an indiscretion from your people.
Allahazwj does not Sanctify the morals of the accursed’.

Muawiya intended to cut off his speech, so he said, ‘What is the meaning of Ta Ha [20:1]?’
He said, ‘We are its people, and it was Revealed unto us, nor unto your father, nor unto your

come, ‘I shall make you laugh from Aqeel’. When Aqeel greeted, Muawiya said, ‘Hello to the
man whose uncle is Abu Lahabla’. Aqeel said, ‘And hello to the one whose paternal aunt is:
And his wife bearing the firewood [111:4] In her neck being a rope of palm fibre [111:5]’ –
because the wife of Abu Lahabla was Umm Jameel daughter of Harb.

‘When you enter the Fire take to your right, you will find himla preparing the bed of your

He said, ‘Both of them are the worst evil, by Allahazwj!’’

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘Al-Saqafy has extended the speech in Kitab Al-Gharaat regarding a
number of these wretched ones and explained their states.

:‫فلما أك ّد عليه [قال‬

And it is reported from Ata’a Bin Al-Sa’aib who said, ‘A man said to Abu Abdul Rahman Al-
Sulamy, ‘I adjure you with Allahazwj, except that you should inform me what I am asking you
about’. But he was silent. When he emphasised upon him, he said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘By
Allahazwj upon you! Did you hate Aliasws only on the day heasws distributed the wealth among
the people of Al-Kufa, and heasws did not help you nor your family members with anything
from it?’ He said, ‘since you have adjured me with Allahazwj, so that has happened’’.186

And he said, ‘Usama Bin Zayd sent a message to Aliasws, ‘Send my award to me, for by
Allahazwj, youasws know that even if you were to be in the mouth of a lion, I would enter to be
with youasws’. Aliasws wrote to him: ‘This wealth is for the ones who fought over it, but my asws
(personal) wealth which is at Al-Medina, take from it whatever you so desire to’.187

.‫تدل على أ ّن عروة بن الزبري و الزهري كانا يناَلن من علي عليه السَلم فنهاَها عنه علي بن اْلسني‬

Then he mentioned a report pointing upon that Urwah Bin Al-Zubeyr and Al-Zuhry were
both talking back about Aliasws, and Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws forbade them both’’.188

‘I witnessed Saeed Bin Al-Musayyab, and Umar son of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws came. Saeed
said to him, ‘O son of my brother! I do not see you frequently visiting Masjid of Rasool-
Allahsaww like what your brothers and sons of your uncle used to do?’

Umar (son of Aliasws) said, ‘O Ibn Musayyab! Is it every time I enter the Masjid, so I come and
see you?’ Saeed said, ‘I do not like you to be angry. I heard your father asws Aliasws saying: ‘By
Allahazwj! There is a position for measws which is better for the Clan of Abdul Muttalibas that
whatever things are upon the earth’.

Umar (son of Aliasws) said, ‘I heard my fatherasws saying: ‘There is no word of wisdom in the
heart of a hypocrite, he would exit from the world until he would speak with it’. Saeed said,
‘O son of my brother! You are making me to be a hypocrite?’ Umar (son of Ali asws) said, ‘That
is what I am saying for you’. He said, ‘Then leave!’

Then Ibn Abi Al-Hadeed said, ‘Our elder Abu Ja’far Al-Iskafy said, ‘The people of Al-Basra, all
of them were hating himasws, without exception, and all of Quraysh were upon opposing
himasws, and the general masses were with the clan of Umayya’’. 189

Another man stood up from beneath the pulpit, and he said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! I am

And it is reported by Usman Bin Saeed, from Yahya Al Tameemi, from Al Amsh, from Ismail Ibn Raja’a who said,

‘A’ash Bahilah stood up to Aliasws, and he was a young boy on that day, a teenager, and
heasws was addressing and mentioning the future events. He said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws!
How resembling is this Hadeeth with the superstitious myths!’

Aliasws said: ‘If you are sinning in what you said, O boy, may Allahazwj Afflict you with a boy of
Saqeef’. Then heasws was silent.

They said, ‘And who is the boy of Saqeef, O Amir Al-Momineenasws?’ Heasws said: ‘A boy
ruling this city of yours. He will not leave any Sanctity of Allah azwj except he would violate it.
He will strike off the neck of this boy with his sword’.

-They said, ‘How long will he rule, O Amir Al-Momineenasws?’ Heasws said: ‘Twenty (years), if
he reaches it’. They said, ‘Will he be killed by a killing or dying a (natural) death?’ He asws said:
‘But, he will be dying a death of his nose disdaining the slitting of his belly. His bed would
corrode due to a lot of what would come out from his inside’.

And it is reported by Muhammad Bin Ali Al Sawwaf, from Al Husayn Bin Sufyan, from his father, from Shuheyr
Bin Sadeyr Al Azdy who said,

‘Aliasws said to Al-Hamiq Al-Khuzaie: ‘Where are you intending, O Amro?’ He said, ‘(To be)
among my people’. Heasws said: ‘Do not descend among them’. He said, ‘Should I descend
among the clan of Kinanah in their vicinity?’ Heasws said: ‘No’. He said, ‘Shall I descend
among Saqeef?’ Heasws said: ‘So what will you do with the disgrace and the remoteness?’ He
said, ‘And what are these two?’

Heasws said: ‘Two necks (columns) of fire coming out from the outback of Al-Kufa. One of
them would be upon (clans of) Tameem and Bakr Bin Wa’il. Every time someone escapes
from it, and another one would come and seize upon the other side from Al-Kufa. It will be
few, the ones dying from them. But rather, it would enter the house and incinerate the
house and two houses’. He said, ‘So, where should I descend?’ Heasws said: ‘Among the clan
of Amro Bin Aamir from Al-Azd’.

Heasws said: ‘O Amro! You will be killed after measws, and your head would be transferred,
and it is the first head to be transferred in Al-Islam, and the woe be unto your killer. But, you
should not descend with any people except if they grant you safety, except for this tribe

He (the narrator) said, ‘The days did not pass until Amro Bin Al-Hamiq kept moving around
during the caliphate of Muawiya among the Arab tribes, fearful, terrified, until he
descended among his own people from the clan of Khuza’a. They yielded him (to the
enemy) and he was killed, and his head was carried from Al-Iraq to Muawiya at Syria, and it
is the first head to be carried in Al-Islam, from a city to a city!’’196

‘Juweyria Bin Mus’hir was righteous, and he was a friend to Ali asws, and Aliasws used to love

Ismail Bin Aban said, ‘It is narrated to me by Al Sabbah, from Muslim, from Habbat al Arny who said,

‘We travelled with Aliasws one day. Heasws turned and there was Juweyria far behind himasws.
Heasws called out to him: ‘O Juweyria! Catch up with measws, may there be no father for you!

Habbat said, ‘Then they both participated in the discussion secretly. Juweyria said to him asws,
‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! I am a forgetful person’. Heasws said: ‘Iasws shall repeat the
Hadeeth to you, for you to memorise it’. Then he asws said at the end of hisasws narrating to
him: ‘O Juweyria! Love the one who loves usasws, for as long as he loves usasws. When he
hates usasws, then hate him; and hate the one who hates usasws for as long as he hates usasws.
When he loves usasws, then love him’.

And it is reported by Ibrahim in Kitab Al Gharaat, from Ahmad bin Al-Hassan Al Haysami who said,

‘Meesam Al-Tammar was a slave of Aliasws, being a slave of a woman from the clan of Asad.
Aliasws had bought himasws and freed him. Heasws said to him: ‘What is your name’. He said,
‘Saalim’. Heasws said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww had informed measws that your name which your
father had named you with among the non-Arabs was ‘Meesam’’.

He said, ‘Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, and youasws have spoken the truth. It is my name’.
Heasws said: ‘Then return to your (original) name and leave ‘Saalim’, we shall teknonym you
with it’. Heasws teknonymed him as Abu Saalim.

He (the narrator) said, ‘Aliasws had notified him upon a lot of knowledge and hidden secrets
from the secrets of the successor-ship. Meesam used to narrate with part of that, so a group
from the people of Al-Kufa doubted in it and they attributed Aliasws to the myths, and the
delusions and the fraud, to the extent that one day he asws had said to him in the presence of
a lot of people from hisasws companions, and among them were the doubters and the
sincere ones:

‘O Meesam! You will be seized after measws and crucified. So, when it will be the second day,
blood would rush from your nostrils and mouth until it dyes your beard. When it will be the
second day, you will be stabbed with a bayonet. It has been Decreed upon you, so await
that; and the place which you will be crucified in, is a house of Amro Bin Hureys. You would
be the tenth of the ten, you being the shortest of them of the plank of wood, and nearest of
them from the purifier, meaning the ground, and Iasws shall show you the palm tree which
you will be crucified upon its trunk’.

Then heasws showed it to him two days after that. Meesam used to go to it and he would
pray Salat by it, and he would say, ‘You are Blessed from the palm trees. I have been
Created for you, and you have grown for me’. He did not cease to undertake it after the
killing of Aliasws, until it was cut. He used to observe its trunk and undertake his pledges, and
keep returning to it and seeing it.

Then he said, ‘Ibrahim said, ‘And it is narrated to me by Ibrahim Bin Al Abbas, from Munarak Al Bajaly, from
Abu Bakr Bin Ayyash, from Mujalid, from Al Shaie, from Ziyad Bin Al Nazar Al Harisy who said,

‘I was in the presence of Ziyad and they came with Rusheyd Al-Hajary, and he was from the
special companions of Aliasws. Ziyad said to him, ‘What did your friendasws say to you that I
would be doing to you?’ He said, ‘You will be cutting my hands and my legs and crucify me’.
Ziyad said, ‘But, by Allahazwj, I will belie hisasws narration. Free his way!’

When he wanted to go out, he said, ‘Return him! We do not find for you anything more
correct that what your companion had said. You will never cease to seek evil for us if you
were to remain alive. Cut off his hands and his legs!’ They cut off his hands and his legs, and
he was talking. He said, ‘Crucify him with a stranglehold in his neck!’

Rusheyd said, ‘And there has remained one thing for me in your presence, I have yet to see
you do it’. Ziyad said, ‘Cut off his tongue!’ When they brought out his tongue in order to cut
it, he said, ‘Move away from me until I speak with one phrase’. They move away from him.
He said, ‘By Allahazwj! This is ratification of the Hadeeth of Amir Al-Momineenasws. Heasws had
informed me with the cutting of my tongue’. They cut off his tongue and crucified him’’.200

Huzeyfa said, ‘O Rabie! And what is that which you are asking me about Ali asws? And what is

hand of the scale, since Allahazwj Sent Muhammadsaww up to this day of the people, and one
deed from the deeds of Aliasws was to be placed in the other hand, it would outweigh over
their deeds, all of them’.

(The book) ‘Nahj (Al Balagah) –

‘And it is said that Al-Haris Bin Howt came to himasws and said, ‘What is yourasws view if I
were to think that the companions of the camel were (not) upon the straying!’ He asws said:
‘O Haris! You looked beneath you (at the apparent) and did not look above you (at the
truth), so you are confused. You did not recognise the truth, so you could recognise its
people, and did not recognise the falsehood, so you could recognise who came to it’.

Al-Haris said, ‘I shall isolate along with Sa’ad Bin Malik and Abdullah Bin Umar’. He asws said:
‘Sa’ad and Abdullah did not help the truth and did not abandon the falsehood’’. 216

Kitab Al Gharaat of Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Al Saqafi, by his chain from Zazan who said,

‘I went with Qanbar to Aliasws. He said, ‘Arise, O Amir Al-Momineenasws, for I have hidden a
deposit for youasws’. Heasws said: ‘What is it?’ He said, ‘Arise with me’. Heasws stood up and
went to his house, and there was a container filled with a collection of gold and silver. He
said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! Youasws do not leave anything except youasws distribute it, so I
have hoarded this for youasws’.

Aliasws said: ‘Iasws would have loved it if you could have entered a lot of fire into myasws house
(instead)!’ Heasws unsheathed hisasws sword and struck it, and it scattered from between the
cut pieces of the container, half or its third. Then heasws said: ‘distribute it with the quotas’.

And from Habeeb Bin Abu Sabit having said,

‘Abdullah son of Ja’farasws Bin Abu Talibasws said to Aliasws, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! If youasws
could order with (financial) assistance or expense monies for me, for by Allahazwj, there is no
expense money for me except if I were to sell part of my fodder’. He asws said to him: ‘No, by
Allahazwj! Iasws do not find for you except if you are instructing your uncle asws to steal and give
it to you’’.218

(The book) ‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – Al-Ash’as Bin Qays sought permission to see Aliasws,
but Qanbar returned him, so he bled his nose. Aliasws came out and said: ‘What is that, O
Ash’as! But, by Allahazwj! But, by Allahazwj! If you had passed by a slave of Saqeef, your hair
would have stood on its ends’.

He said, ‘And who is the slave of Saqeef?’ Heasws said: ‘A slave ruling them. There will not

Kitab Al Gharaat – From Qadim Al Zaby who said,

‘Aliasws sent someone to Labeed Bin Utarid Al-Tameemi to come with him. The one who was
taking him to Amir Al-Momineenasws passed by a gathering from the gatherings of the clan of
Asad, and in it was Nueym Bin Dajajah. Nueym stood up and freed the man, and they came
to Amir Al-Momineenasws and said: ‘We had taken the man and we passed by Nueym Bin
Dajajah, and he freed him,’. And Nueym was from the Khamese Brigade’.

Heasws said: ‘To measws with Nueym’. They came with him. Heasws ordered with him to be
struck a sharp hit. When they turned with him to the prison, he said, ‘O Amir Al-

Kufr’. Heasws said: ‘It is like that?’ He said, ‘Yes’. Heasws said: ‘Free his way’’.223

And from Ismail Bin Aban, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Salim Al Kufy, from Al Shaby who said,

‘Aliasws found an armour of his in the possession of a Christian, so he asws came with him to
Shureyh to dispute him to him. When he looked at him asws, he went aside. Heasws said: ‘In
your place, and sit to his side’.

And heasws said: ‘O Shureyh! But, if a Muslim had disputed with me asws, Iasws would not sit
except with him, but he is a Christian, and Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Whenever you and them
are in a road, then lead them to annoyance, and belittle them just as Allahazwj Belittled them
without being unjust’’.

Then Aliasws said: ‘This is myasws armour. Iasws did not sell it and did not gift it’. The Christian
said, ‘It is not except my armour, and Amir Al-Momineenasws is not a liar in my view’.

The Christian took it and walked for a while, then came back and said, ‘As for I, I testify that
this is a ruling of the Prophetsas. Amir Al-Momineenasws walked to hisasws judge, and hisasws
judge judged against himasws! I testify that there is no god except Allahazwj Alone, there is no

Heasws said: ‘Which of myasws companions are you asking about?’ They said, ‘About the
companions of Muhammadsaww’. Heasws said: ‘All the companions of Muhammadsaww are
myasws companions, so about which of them are you asking me asws?’ They said, ‘About those
we have seen youasws being to them with yourasws mention and with the Salawaat upon
them, besides (other) people’.

sufficed with reading the Quran and knew the Sunnah? Or did he suffice with worshipping

religion, kept upon the firm knowledge. Hera had been filled in retention of hisra to the
extent that hisra retention was filled up with knowledge hera was unable regarding it’.

from question it?’

(The book) ‘Nahj (Al Balagah)’ –

‘Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘There shall come a time upon the people, there will not remain
among them, from the Quran except its ritual, and from Al-Islam except its name. Their
Masjids in those days would be built up of the construction, in ruins of the guidance, and its
dwellers and its religious ones would be the evilest of the people of the earth. The Fitna
would come out from them and to them will the sins shelter.

They will return the one who turns away from it, to it, and they would usher the one staying
back from it, to it. Allahazwj the Glorious Says: “Iazwj Swear by Myselfazwj! Isaww shall Send such
Fitna upon them, it will leave the wise ones to be confused during it!” And Heazwj will Do so,
and we seek Pardon of Allahazwj for the stumbles of neglect’’.230

did you do with your numerous camels?’ He said, ‘I used them for the (Obligatory) rights, O

Kitab Al Gharaat – By his chain from Ali Bin Al Numan who said,

‘Aliasws said: ‘If Iasws had control, Iasws would have pelted him with the stones’ – meaning Al-
Mugheira Bin Shuba, and he used to despise Aliasws.

And from Jundab Bin Abdullah who said, ‘Al-Mugheira Bin Shuba was mentioned in the
presence of Aliasws. Heasws said: ‘And what is Al-Mugheira? But rather, the reason of his being
a Muslim was for transgression and betrayal for them to be reassured to it. He rode from
them and fled, and he came to the Prophetsaww like the one sheltering with Al-Islam.

By Allahazwj! Iasws did not see him being serious upon it, in fulfilling Al-Islam, neither
humbleness nor reverence. Indeed! And he was from pharaohs of Saqeef, shunning the
truth and igniting the flames of war, and backing the oppressors.

Indeed! Because Saqeef are a treacherous people, they will not be loyal with a pact, being
hateful towards the Arabs. It is as if they aren’t from them, and perhaps the righteous ones
who had happened to be among them, from them was Urwah Bin Masoud and Abu Ubeyda
Bin Masoud.

And as for Al-Waleed Bin Uqba, he is the one whom Allahazwj has Named in Hisazwj Book as a
mischief-maker (transgressor), and he is one of boys, those the Prophet saww had given them
the news of the Fire, and a poet has said referring to the Prophet saww by his words when
hesaww said regarding Aliasws: ‘If you were to place himasws in charge, you will find himasws to
be guiding, Guided. Heasws will travel with you on the straight road’, Al-Waleed said in
response to these words, ‘Supposing he had lost the camel along with its load, heasws would
neither be guided nor would heasws be a guide’.

And from Mugheira Al Zaby who said,

‘Some people passed by Al-Hassanasws Bin Aliasws and they were intending to console Al-
Waleed Bin Uqba, and he was in severe illness. Al-Hassanasws came to him along with them
to console. He said to Al-Hassanasws, ‘I repent to Allahazwj what happened between me and
the entirety of the people, except what happened between me and your asws fatherasws!’ i.e. ‘I
am not repenting from it’’.233

He (the narrator) said, ‘Aliasws had placed Al-Munzir Bin Al-Jaroud in charge of (part of)
Persian, and he attained wealth from the taxes. And the wealth was four hundred thousand
Dirham. Aliasws imprisoned him, but Sa’sa Bin Sowhan interceded to himasws, and stood with

Aliasws said to him: ‘Iasws had not known you were of light provisions, great of supporting’.
Sa’sa said, ‘And youasws, by Allahazwj, O Amir Al-Momineenasws, I did not know you as being
most knowledgeable with the Book of Allahazwj, and that Allahazwj is Great in yourasws chest,

It is narrated to us by Jareer Bin Abdul Hameed, from Is’haq Al Shaybani who said,

‘Aliasws said: ‘You are asking measws for the wealth, and Iasws employed Al-Qa’qa Bin Showr (as
governor) upon Kaskar, so he bestowed a dowry of one hundred thousand to his wife?! And

And from Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Qarib who said,

‘I was seated in the presence of Muawiya when Abu Musa came. He said, ‘The greetings be
unto you O commander of the faithful’. Muawiya said, ‘And upon you be the greetings’.
When he turned around (to leave), he (Muawiya) said, ‘He will not rule upon two until he
dies’.

And when Abu Bakrah Nafie Bin Al-Haris arrived to Aliasws at Al-Basra, he met Al-Hassan Bin
Al-Hassan, and he was heading towards Aliasws. He said to him, ‘To where?’ He said, ‘To
Aliasws’. He said, ‘I heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘Fitna will be happening after mesaww,
during it the sleeping one would be better than the sitting one, and the sitting one during it
would be better than the standing one’’.

Al-Hassan said, ‘Stay at my house’. When it was afterwards, he met Jabir Bin Abdullah and
Abu Saeed (Al-Khudry). They said, ‘Where were you?’ He narrated to them with what Abu
Bakrah had said. They said, ‘May Allahazwj Curse Abu Bakrah. But rather, the Prophetsaww said
to Abu Musa: ‘Such Fitna would be occurring after me, you would be sleeping during it, a
sitting one would be better than you, and you would be sitting during it, a messenger would

opened it for me secretly, and I entered and closed the door, and I got into a room of the
bathhouse and it had been furnished for him to be entering the bathhouse.

So, from what I heard from his narrations which he was narrating to the people with, he
said, ‘I went out from my city, I and my father and my uncle. We wanted to be a delegation
to Rasool-Allahsaww and we were walking among a caravan. We cut ourselves off from the
people and the thirst intensified with us, and we had no water, and the weakness increased
with my father and my uncle. I sat them both down to a side of a tree and I continued to
seek the water for them.

I found a good spring and there was clear water in it, peak of coldness and freshness. I drank
until I was saturated, then I got up to bring my father and my uncle to the spring. I found
one of them to have died, so I left him in his state and I took the other and continued in
search for the spring. I struggled to see it, but could not see it, nor could I recognise its
place, and the thirst intensified with him until he dies. I made sure of his affair until I buried
him, and returned to the other and buried him as well.

And I travelled alone until I ended up to the road and joined up with the people and entered
Al-Medina, and my entry into it was during the day in which Rasool-Allahsaww had passed
away. I saw the people dispersing away from burying himsaww. A grievous regret entered into
my heart, and I came to Amir Al-Momineen Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws and narrated to himasws
my narration. He lodged me and I stayed with himasws for the duration of the caliphate of
Abu Bakr, and Umar, and Usman, and during the days of his asws caliphate until Abdul
Rahman Bin Muljimla killed himasws at Al-Kufa.

He (the narrator) said, ‘And when Usman Bin Affan was besieged in his house, he (Usman)
called me and handed me a letter and a horse and instructed me with going out to Amir Al-

Momineen Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws; and Aliasws was absent, being at Yanbu in hisasws estate
and hisasws wealth. I took the letter and rode the horse and travelled until when I was in a
place called Jinan Abu Abaya, I heard Quran (being recited). There was Amir Al-
Momineenasws reciting: Did you reckon that rather We had Created you in vain and that
you would not be returning to Us?” [23:115].

He (the narrator) said, ‘When heasws looked at me, heasws said: ‘O Abu Al-Dunya, what is
behind you?’ I said, ‘This is a letter of Usman’. Heasws read it, and in it was (a couplet), ‘If I
am devoured, I would become the best meal, or else come to my help, and when I am torn
apart’.

When heasws had read it, heasws said: ‘Travel! Travel!’ We entered Al-Medina at the time
Usman was killed. Amir Al-Momineenasws went towards a garden of the clan of Al-Najjar, and
the people knew of hisasws place. They came to himasws running, and they were bent upon
pledging allegiance to Talha. When they looked at himasws, they turned away from Talha like
the turning away of the sheep (when) the wild animal is severe upon them. Talha and Al-
Zubeyr pledged allegiance to himasws, and the Emigrants and the Helpers followed pledging
allegiance to himasws. I stayed with himasws to serve himasws.

And I attended (battle of) Siffeen with himasws’. Or he said, ‘(Battle of) Nahrawan. I was on
hisasws right when the whip fell from hisasws hand. I bent to take it and raise it towards
himasws, and the bridle of his animal was of iron, compact. This injured me with an injury.
Amir Al-Momineenasws called me and applied saliva in it, and heasws grabbed a handful of
dust and applied it over it. By Allahazwj! I did not find any pain nor sore. Then I stayed with
himasws until heasws was killed.

He looked at me and I was looking at him. He said, ‘What are you seeing? This afflicted me

was from the ones who sat with him upon it, and my uncle sat with him. He was eating and

‘We were in a house with Aliasws, and we were hisasws Shias, and hisasws special ones. Heasws
turned to me, and not one of us disliked it. Heasws said: ‘Surely they would be prevailing
upon you all, and they will be cutting your hands and they will scoop out your eyes’.

A man from us said, ‘And youasws will be alive, O Amir Al-Momineenasws?’ Heasws said:
‘Allahazwj has Sheltered measws from that’. Heasws turned and there was someone crying.
Heasws said to him: ‘O Ibn Hamqa’a! Do you want the pleasures in the world and ranks in the
Hereafter (as well)? But rather, Allahazwj has Promised the patient ones’’.263

And it is reported by Zurara Bin Ayn, from his father,

‘From Abu Ja’far Muhammadasws Bin Aliasws having said: ‘Aliasws, when heasws prayed the dawn
Salat, heasws did not cease (praying) consecutively up to the emergence of the sun. When the
sun emerged, the poor, and the needy, and others from the people would gather to him asws.
Heasws would teach them the jurisprudence and the Quran.

‫ فَ َق َام يَ ْوماً فَ َمَّر بَِر ُج ٍل فَ َرَماهُ بِ َكلِ َم ِة ُه ْج ٍر‬،‫ك‬ ِ ِ ِ ‫و َكا َن لَه وقْت ي ُق‬

And there used to be a (specific) time heasws would be standing during it, from that gathering
of hisasws. One day heasws stood up, and a man passed by and used obscenities at himasws’.

‫ال َو ََلْ يُ َس ِّم ِه ُُمَ َّم ُد بْ ُن َعلِ ٍّي‬

He (Aliasws) returned to hisasws (normal) habit until heasws ascended the pulpit, and heasws
instructed for the congregational Salat to be called for. He asws praised Allahazwj and extolled
upon Himazwj, then said: ‘O you people! There isn’t anything more beloved to Allahazwj nor of
general benefit than wisdom of a leader and his understanding, nor is there anything more
hateful to Allahazwj nor of general harm than ignorance of a leader and his infringements.

upon the denial. He said, ‘Here I am, O Amir Al-Momineenasws!’ Heasws said: ‘As for it, if Iasws
had so desired, would have said it (obscenity)’. He said, ‘Or you can forgive and excuse.

there any place in himasws to derogate? By Allahazwj! No two matters were presented to

Ibn Abu Al Hadeed said, ‘And it is reported by our elder Abu Al Qasim Al Balkhy, from Salamah Bin Kuheyl, from
Al Musayyab Bin Najabah who said,

‘While Aliasws was addressing (the people), when a Bedouin stood up and shouted, ‘Waah!
Its grievances!’ Aliasws told him to come near. When he was near from himasws, heasws said to
him: ‘But rather, for you there is one grievance, and Iasws have been oppressed by a number
of clods and fluff (uncountable times)!’

He (the narrator) said, ‘And in a report of Abbad Bin Yaqoub, he asws called him and said to
him: ‘Woe be unto you! And Iasws, by Allahazwj, Iasws am oppressed (as well). Come, let us
supplicate against the one who has been unjust to us’’.272

And it is reported by Sadeyr Al Sayrafi,

‘From Abu Ja’far Muhammadasws Bin Aliasws having said: ‘Aliasws complained of a complaint, so
Abu Bakr and Umar were inimical to himasws and they went out from hisasws presence and
came to the Prophetsaww. Hesaww asked them: ‘Where are you both coming from?’ They said,
‘We are returning (from) Aliasws’. Hesaww said: ‘How do you two see himasws as being?’ They
said, ‘We see himasws of what is with himasws’.

Hesaww said: ‘Never! Surely heasws will never be dying until treachery and rebellion would be
widespread, and heasws would become a lesson in this community to take a lesson with
himasws from after mesaww’’.273

And it is reported by Usman Bin Saeed, from Abdullah Al Ghanawy,

‘Aliasws addressed at Al-Rahba. Heasws said: ‘O you people! You have refused except that Iasws
should be saying it. By the Lordazwj of the sky and the earth! From a pact of the Ummy
Prophetsaww to measws is: ‘The community will be treacherous with youasws after mesaww’’.274

‘The Prophetsaww entered to see (Syeda) Fatimaasws and hesaww found Aliasws sleeping. Sheasws
went to awaken himasws. Hesaww said: ‘leave himasws, perhaps there is a long wakefulness for

‘We were with Rasool-Allahsaww and Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws was with us. We passed by a
garden. Aliasws said: ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Did yousaww not see how beautiful this garden is!’
Hesaww said: ‘Yourasws Garden in the Paradise is more beautiful than it’ – to the extent that
we passed by seven gardens, Aliasws said regarding it what heasws had said, and Rasool-

Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘Iasws have tested this and Iasws found it to be correct. So, what is
the benefit of a lot of enemies!’ He said, ‘The enemies, when they are a lot, the human

an error would appear from him he would be seized upon. Thus, he will always be upon this
state, safe from the mistakes and the errors’.

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘Ibn Abi Al Hadeed said, ‘I saw in (the book) ‘Amaali’ of Ibn dureyd who said, ‘Al Jurmuzy

Al anbary, from Ibn Aradah who said,

‘Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, the people were eating the meat during a month of Ramazan and
heasws was not eating with them. When they were free, heasws addressed them and advised
them, so they discussed at length among the poets, and they were upon their dinner. When
they were free, heasws addressed them and said in hisasws sermon: ‘Know that the body of
your affairs of the religion, and your fortification is the piety, and your adornment is the
discipline, and a fortress of your symptoms is the wisdom!’

Then heasws said: ‘Speak, O Abu Al-Aswad, regarding what you have been pouring into!’ I.e.
the poems of the poets! He said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! The poet of the poets (greatest)
is the one who said, ‘I have come to be in my defensive corner, my crookedness is with
difficult disturbance, being a mixture of elimination, assiduous, artistic, easy-going, relaxed,

They meant Abu Dawood Al-Iyadi. Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘He isn’t it’. They said, ‘Then
who, O Amir Al-Momineenasws!’ Heasws said: ‘If he a peak were to be raised for the people,
they would flow to it altogether. We know from the preceding from them, but it happens to
be the one who did not speak about from any desire nor fear’. It was said, ‘Who is he, O

‘Aliasws brought a sword of hisasws to the market and said: ‘Who will buy this from me asws? If
Iasws had with measws the price (money) for a trouser, Iasws would not sell it’. Abu Raja’a said,
‘I said to himasws, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! I shall sell youasws a trouser and delay its price up
to (the time of) yourasws award’. So I sold himasws a trouser to hisasws award. When heasws had
taken possession of hisasws award, heasws gave me its price’’.308

Arabian said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! I am a woman from the Arabs and this woman is
from the non-Arabs!’ Heasws said: ‘By Allahazwj! Iasws cannot find any merit for the children of
Ismailas in this distribution, any merit from the children of Is’haq as’’.309

And from Yusuf Bin Kuleyb, from Abu Ubeyda, from Abdullah Bin Masoud, from Muawiya Bin Ammat,

‘From Ja’farasws Bin Muhammadasws having said: ‘No two matters clashed unto Aliasws at all
except heasws took with the severer of the two, and heasws did not cease to be eating in your
presence from what heasws had worked with hisasws own hands. When they came with it to
himasws from Al-Medina, and if heasws were to take the Suweyk (porridge), heasws would make
it to be in the container, then seal upon it, fearing that there might be added in it from
something else. And who has been more ascetic in the world than Aliasws?!’’310

And from Haroun Bin Muslim Al Bajaly, from his father who said,

‘Aliasws had given the people three awards during one year, then taxes of Isfahan came to
himasws. Heasws said: ‘O you people! Come tomorrow morning and take, for by Allahazwj, Iasws
am not a treasurer of yours!’ Then heasws ordered with the public treasury so it was swept
and sprinkled (with water). Heasws prayed two Cycles Salat in it, then said: ‘O World! Deceive
other than measws’.

Then heasws came out, and there he was with a hill (load) by the door of the Masjid. He asws
said: ‘What is this hill?’ It was said, ‘They have come with it from the land of Chosroe’. Heasws
said: ‘Distribute it between the Muslims’. It was as if they disdained it, so they broke part of
it, and there it was manufactured cotton (linen). So, they competed regarding it, and the hill
(load) reached from the end of the day, to be Dirhams’’.312

‘And it is reported from Ja’farasws Bin Muhammadasws, from hisasws fatherasws having said:
‘Aliasws bought a Sunbulany shirt for four Dirham, then called the tailor. He extended the

‘I saw Aliasws and upon himasws was a shirt of hisasws. When heasws extended it, it reached the
ends of hisasws fingers, and when heasws rolled it up, it was rolled up until it happened to be

And from Abu Al-Ashas Al Anzy, from his father who said,

‘I saw Aliasws and heasws had bathed in the Euphrates on the day of Friday, then he asws bought
a cotton shirt for three Dirhams and prayed the Friday Salat with the people, and did not
dye hisasws sock afterwards’’.327

And from Bakr Bin Isa who said,

‘Aliasws was saying: ‘O people of Al-Kufa! When Iasws go out from your presence without
myasws luggage and myasws ride, and myasws slave, so Iasws am a betrayer’.

And hisasws expenses used to come from hisasws harvest at Al-Medina, from Yanbu, and heasws
used to feed the people, the bread and the meat, and he asws used to eat the porridge and
the oil, and heasws would top it up with the Al-Ajwa dates, and that was hisasws meal.

And they claimed that heasws used to distribute whatever would be in the public treasury, so
the Friday would not come and there would be something in the public treasury, and he asws
used to order with the public treasury during every Thursday evening and it would be
cleaned with the water, then heasws would pray two Cycles in it.

Kitab Al Gharaat – By his chain from Saeed Bin Al Musayyab,

‘There was a man in Syria called Ibn Al-Khybeir. He found a man with his wife so he killed
him. That was raised to Muawiya. He wrote to one of the companions of Ali asws to ask
himasws. He asked himasws, so Aliasws said: ‘This is something what has not happened before
us’. He informed himasws that Muawiya had written to him. Heasws said: ‘If he cannot come
with four witnesses to testify with it, there would be imprisonment for him’’. 329

Heasws said: ‘But, it would be the first town to be ruined, either by drowning or by burning,

So, where is your house from it?’ The man said, ‘In such and such place’. He asws said: ‘Upon

‘We were in the presence of Aliasws in Al-Rahba, and a group came and greeted. When Aliasws

They said, ‘But, from the people of Syria. Our father died and left a lot of wealth, and left
behind children, men and women, and he left along us a hermaphrodite having shame

Aliasws looked right and left, and said: ‘May Allahazwj Curse a people who are pleased with
ourasws judgments and are stabbing upon usasws in ourasws religion. Go with your companion

And from Ibn Abbas,

‘From Aliasws having said: ‘The first people of earth to be destroyed would be Quraysh and
Rabie’. They said, ‘And how come?’ He said, ‘As for Quraysh, the kingdom would destroy
them, and as for Rabie, the fanaticism would destroy them’’.332

‘Aliasws said: ‘But, by Allahazwj! Iasws did not fight except fearing that a goat (ruler) from the

And from Habbat Al Urny,

‘From Aliasws having said: ‘Allahazwj Took a Covenant of every Momin upon myasws love, and
Took a Covenant upon myasws hatred. So, even if Iasws were to strike the face of a Momin

‘Aliasws addressed. Heasws said: ‘O community of people! Iasws am the nose of guidance and its
eyes’ – and heasws gestured towards hisasws face: ‘O community of people! Do not feel lonely
in the road of guidance due to the scarcity of its people, for the people have gathered upon
a table (meal). Their satiation is short and their hunger is long, and Allah azwj is the Helper.

O community of people! But rather, the people (tend to) gather the pleasure and the anger.
Indeed! The she-camel of Samood was slain by one man, but the Punishment hit them due
to their agreeing with its slaying. Allahazwj the Exalted Said: But they called their companion,
so he came and hamstrung (it) [54:29]. The Prophetas of Allahazwj, from the Words of
Allahazwj: But they belied him, and they hamstrung it, so their Lord Pounded them due to
their sins and Levelled it (their town) [91:14].

Indeed! And Iasws am neither a Prophetas nor is there a Revelation to measws, but Iasws work by
the Book of Allahazwj as per myasws capacity. So, whatever Iasws instruct you will from the (acts
of) obedience, it is a right upon you to obey measws regarding what you like and regarding
what you dislike, and whatever Iasws instruct you with or someone else does, from the acts of
disobedience of Allahazwj, so there is no obedience in the disobedience (of Allah azwj). The
obedience is in the good works! And the obedience is in the good works!’ – saying it
thrice’’.345

CHAPTER 36 – LAST CHAPTER, MISCHELLANEOUS

REGARDING THE MENTION OF WHAT POEMS ARE
REPORTED FROM AMIR AL MOMINEENasws RELATED TO THIS
VOLUME, AND PART OF IT HAS PASSED AND THE PREVIOUS

:]‫اص ِر ِيه‬

ِ َّ ‫[من أ َْه ِل‬
َ ُ َ ‫الزَم‬ ْ ‫الش َكايَة‬ َ

From these, regarding the complaining from the people of the time and his asws
contemporaries: -

ِْ ‫ت الْ َموَّدةُ َو‬ ِ ‫تَغَيَّر‬

ُ‫الر َجاء‬
َّ ‫الص ْد ُق َو انْ َقطَ َع‬

ُ ‫فَ ََل فَ ْقٌر يَ ُد‬ ‫َسيُغْنِ ِيه الَّ ِذي أَ ْغنَاهُ َع ِِّن‬

‘The cordiality and the brother-hood has changed, and scarce is the honesty and the hopes
are cut off. The times have submitted measws to a friend of plenty treachery, there isn’t any
shepherd for him. He will enrich him, the one who is needless from measws, but neither is
poverty permanent nor the wealth.

ِ ِ ِ ‫و لَي‬
ٌ‫س لَهُ بَ َقاء‬
َ ‫س لَْي‬ُ ‫َك َذ َاك الْبُ ْؤ‬ ٌ ‫س ب َدائ ٍم أَبَداً نَع‬

‫ْحي ٍم‬
ُ‫اْلَيَاء‬
ْ ‫س التَّ َكُّرُم َو‬ ْ َْ ُ ْ

And there isn’t any permanence for bliss, similar to that is the misery, there isn’t any
remaining for it. And every cordiality for Allahazwj is pure, and there is not purification from
the mischief of the brothers, and then Iasws dislike an era from intricacy while in the soul is
the honour and the shame.

ِ ْ ‫و ُسوء‬ ٍ ‫و ُك ُّل ِجر‬

ٌ‫س لَهُ َد َواء‬َ ‫اْلُلُق لَْي‬ ُ َ ٌ‫احة فَلَ َها َد َواء‬ ََ َ

And for every injury there is a cure, and evil manners are such, there isn’t any cure for it, and
perhaps (sometimes) a brother fulfils a loyalty of his, but the loyalty is not permanent for
him, they perpetuate the cordiality for as long as they are seeing me asws, and the cordiality
remains for as long as the meeting lasts.

‘The laughter of the people has hit us generously, and when they saw the purpose of the way
and not the guidance, and when they came to us for the guidance, all of us were upon
obedience of Beneficent, and the truth, and the piety. We helped Rasool-Allahsaww they had
turned around, and the Muslims moved to the back with the unison’’.350

‘The loyalty is gone, the going away of yesterday, and the people are sons of deceit and

‘Myasws knowledge is abundant and myasws manners are polite, and the one who goes (away

‘They threatened measws with the mighty Al-Waleed, so Iasws said: ‘Iasws am a sonasws of Abu

O Ibn Al-Mugheira! Iasws am a man of forgiving fingers with the cutting sword, long of the
tongue upon the haters, short of the tongue upon the companion. You incurred a loss by
your belying the Rasoolsaww, being fatigued at what wasn’t with the tiredness, and you belied

‘Abu Lahabla! May yourla hands break, Abu Lahabla, and of Sakhara daughter of Al-Harb,
carrier of the firewood. Youasws abandoned the Prophetsaww of Allahazwj, cutting off hissaww

So, that affair become a shame hurting himla. Upon you is to perform Hajj of the House

‘The King (Allahazwj) will Suffice measws and the edge of myasws sword, in front of the satirist

‘Is it measws you are calling in the battle, O son of the needy, and in myasws right hand is a

‘The (clan of) Azd are myasws sword against the enemies, all of them, and a sword of
Ahmadsaww, one the Arabs had made a religion with for it, such a people, if they are surprised
they are loyal and even if they are overcome, and they are not fighting, they would not know
what is the fleeing. A people causing them misery in every battle, bright, light, and the

The helmet above the heads, beneath it is the core, and in the fingers are the thick spears

The (clan of) Azd are more, the ones who walk upon foot, being a merit, and their ones of

when they shelter, they give above what they have been gifted. O community of Al-Azd! You
are a community of pride, not weakening when the times become severer. In fulfilling the
loyalty of the pact, you fulfilled your honours, and from before your sincerity has not been

When you are angry, the people fear your whip, and the anger may be offensive upon you. O

And Al-Azd are gems if they are ushered, they precede, or if they are pride, they pride, or if
they are overcome, they overcome, or if they are gathered, they are a lot, or if they are told
to be patient, they are patient, or they are told to contribute, they contribute, or they are
told to plunder, they plunder. They cleaned, so the Master cleaned them of his asws Wilayah,

They are soft and lenient in their gatherings. Neither do they show their ignorance in these

someone other than you is foremost with the Prophetsaww and closer’.

Explanation : - The commentator said, ‘Hisasws words: ‘And the ones to be consulted are
absent’, is an indication to what Al-Hafiz Ismail said, ‘Talha was absent, and when Umar was
buried, Usman and Aliasws and Al-Zubeyr and Abdul Rahman and Sa’ad sat in consultation.
Usman indicated upon Abdul Rahman with the entering into the command (caliphate). He
refused and said, ‘I am not from the competitors upon this command. If you like, I can
choose one of you for you’.

They made that to be for Abdul Rahman. The people, all of them came to him and took to

And it is reported by Al Meybazi in commentary of the register (of poems), from Abdullah Bin Shareek, from
his father,

‘He said to Amir Al-Momineenasws, ‘There is a group at the door of the Masjid who are
claiming that youasws are their Lordazwj!’ Heasws called them and said: ‘Woe be unto you all!
But rather Iasws am a servant of Allahazwj like youasws. Iasws eat the food and drink the drinks,
so fear Allahazwj and return (from this belief)!’

.‫ث قِْتلَ ٍة‬ ِ ِ ِ ِ‫َّاِّن و الثَّال‬ ِ

They came to himasws during the second day, and the third. They said similar to that. He asws
said to them: ‘By Allahazwj! Either you repent or else Iasws will kill you all a wicked killing’.

Heasws called Qanbar and he (instructed) with going ahead and dig pits for them between the
door of the Masjid and the government office. Heasws called for the firewood and dropped it
and the fire into it, and said: ‘Iasws will drop you all into these (pits) or you return’. They
refused. So, heasws had them thrown into it until they were burnt.

Then heasws said (in prose): ‘When Iasws saw the matter to be an evil matter, Iasws ignited

evil destruction’’.382

And the earth knows that Iasws am the best of its dwellers, like what Al-Bat’ha and Al-Madar

When leaders of the Arabs and the tribes gathered at a battle one day, Iasws was their
commander, guarantor of safety, myasws cavalry was in the battle, and afflicted were their
lions and their camels. It is Prohibited upon our spears to stab any fleer, and movement
sounds from it in the chests, of its chests’’.384

had been pledge to with the caliphate: -

Iasws tend to close myasws eyes from many matters, and Iasws am able upon leaving them
having to close myasws eyes, and there is no blindness in closing the eyes, but sometime
blindness and closed eyes is done by the man and although heasws is seeing.

And Iasws withheld from (many) things, if Iasws had so desired, Iasws could have said it, and
there is no command upon us regarding the talking. Iasws calmed myselfasws in myasws struggle

And from it regarding the complaining from the ones who betrayed him asws and opposed
himasws, from Quraysh and others: -

‘You Quraysh are wishing to kill measws. No, by your Lordazwj! Neither will they overcome nor
will they succeed. So if Iasws were to remain, Iasws shall pledge myasws guarantee to them, then
being two-faced, a stumble they will not be forgiven for it, and if Iasws were to die, then soon
they shall inherit the disgrace, for they would have betrayed and have been treacherous.

For as long as Iasws remain, Iasws won’t be seizing people nor are there any Shias in the religion
when they are immoral. They had pledged allegiance to measws and were not loyal with their
rebellion, and the plotted against measws among the enemies when they plotted, and they
established the war to measws, a fire what Abu Bakr and Umar did not face’’.386

‘Iasws complain to Youazwj of myasws sadness and myasws grief, and a community who have
veiled myasws sight upon measws. Iasws killed (the clan of) Muzar by (the clan of) Muzar, Iasws
stumped myasws nose and killed (the transgressor from) myasws community’’.387

Both of them (Abu Bakr and Umar) hesaww had sent in an army camp, they sold this religion
when they transgressed, ruling Egypt if they attain victory. One whose purchase is the world
would incur loss. O the one who seeks the loneliness from measws, if you were seeking to visit
the grave truly, and pray Salat after the embers (of battle) Iasws shall give you today the
deadly combat.

Do not reckon measws, O Ibn Al-Aas, to be in distress, Ask regarding measws in Badr, and ask
regarding measws in Khyber, Quraysh would have been on a killing spree on the day of Badr if
Iasws had not attended the war for a day. Myasws fire was ignited and Iasws called Qanbar, sent
ahead myasws flag not delaying the caution. The cautioner will never benefit what he had
been cautious of, nor is a brother the means from what he was able.

an event at it between a corner of its market of sellers. There was neither any shortage at it

for the Rewards of Allahazwj with the works.

Aren’t you fearing even the lowest of the Punishments? And Allahazwj has not Granted safety

Jibraeelas descended regarding his killing with a soothing Revelation to Hisazwj servant. So,
the Rasoolsaww sent a messenger (Muhammad Bin Maslama) secretly with a delicate canopy.
The eyes spent the night lamenting, shedding tears when the news of death of Ka’ab came.
They said to Ahmadsaww, ‘Leave us a little, for we are from the lamenters, not curling.

‫الزاد َح ََّّت َيَْتَل َي‬

‘By Allahazwj! Iasws am a man with all honours. Iasws inherited the honourable manners, the
last ones from the first. So, when Iasws do something, Iasws follow it by doing another, and Iasws
do not ask. And when a friend with depleted (provision) accompanies measws, Iasws give him
preference with the provision until he is full up.

And when Iasws am called to distress, Iasws relieve it, and when Iasws am called to treachery,
Iasws do not do so. And when the shouter shouts at me asws for an accident, Iasws get to him
like a burning meteor. And Iasws count myasws neighbour as being from myasws (family)
dependants. He chooses from myasws houses from the houses, and Iasws protect him
regarding his family and his dependants, by an undertaking from measws, and even when Iasws
dislike’’.423

And from it regarding an explanation of hisasws merits addressing to Al-Haris Al-Hamdany: -

‘O Har (Haris) Hamdan! One who dies will see measws, be he from a Momin or a hypocrite,
face to face. His eyes will recognise measws and Iasws will recognise him by his character, and
his name and what he had done.

And you will be exposed at the Bridge, but neither fear a stumble nor a slip. I asws shall say to
the Fire when you paused for the presentation: ‘Leave him, do not go near the man! Leave
him, do not go near him, for there is a rope for him, a rope connected to the successor asws’.

‘He is frightening measws, and astrologer of corrupted intellect, of the return of mars in the

When the war spreads its clouds far and wide, and the imaginations are flashed wide from
it, there is no doubt that the cavalries would roam around one day to be upon you while you
are hooked on being killed’’.433

Then the commentator of the register (of poems) said, ‘Muawiya replied, ‘Do not reckon me,
O Aliasws, as being heedless. I will make the battalions of calries to arrive at Al-Kufa, and the
prolonged (battle) and meeting of the flags would be in this year of our and the coming

Aliasws answered him: ‘You have come to be with foolishness wishing for the falsehoods. I asws
shall make arrive the horses with great neighing. You, O Ibn Hind, have become ignorant.
Iasws shall cast away the trusted ones from you by ninety thousand spurring and shooting
arrows, crowding the grief and sorrows with the truth, and the truth shall remove the

And from it, in praise of Abdul Aziz Bin Al-Haris: -

‘You have acquired such a matter a protector cannot bear and the brothers of the protectors
are few. May Godazwj of the people Recompense you goodly, for your hands have been loyal
with the merits what is plenty over there’’.

Explanation – It is reported that heasws said it when the army of Syria surrounded a group of
hisasws companions, so heasws called out: ‘Indeed! Is there any man who will sell his own self
to Allahazwj and sell his world for the Hereafter!?’

Abdul Aziz answered himasws and entered to be among the congestion of the people, and he
battled until he arrived to hisasws companions and said to them, ‘Amir Al-Momineenasws is
saying to you all: ‘Exclaim Takbeers and Extollation, for here we are arriving to you, if
Allahazwj so Desires’. And that became a cause for the victory and the prevailing, like what
has passed’’.436

And from it in rebuking and complaining from the attacks of the tyrants upon the people of
piety. And it is reported that heasws prosed these two (couplets) on the day Ammar Bin
Yasserra was martyred, may Allahazwj be Pleased with himra: -

‘Indeed! O you death which will not neglect measws! Give measws rest, for every friend has
perished. Iasws see you are determined with the ones Iasws love. It is as if you are turning
towards them with the evidence’’.437

‘Like where did we leave regarding Damascus and its people, from the blight of a killed one
and mourning of the bereaved, and the female singer blocked the spear of her friend, and a
day later she became a widow, crying upon a husband of hers. The conqueror rested and
there isn’t any guarantor (for her) up to the Day of Reckoning, and we are such people, our

And from it, he said, ‘A woman came to himasws complaining of her husband. She said, ‘My
husband is honourable, he hates the Prohibitions, cutting (spending the) night sitting and
standing (in Salat), and spends the day Fasting, and I am fearing that he would become a
sinner because he has become a usurper of mine (rights)’.

Her husband responded to her, ‘I do not become roving around her all the time, nor do I
become soft towards the women. No, but I pray salat sitting and standing, for it has become
necessary for the sins. O if only I can be rescued from her safely’.

Heasws answered them both, judging between them: ‘Shh, no, for you have become a sinner
in it. For you is the Salat, sitting and standing, three (days) to be Fasting during these, and
fourth you become a feeder (provider) during it, and at night leave it vacant to sleep in it. It

The commentator of the register (of poems) said, ‘The imam Ali Bin Ahmad Al-Wahidy (non

They gathered and took (to discussing) their own virtues. Ali asws entered to be among them.
Heasws asked them: ‘Regarding what are you (discussing)?’ They said, ‘Our virtues from what

‘Weasws are not consoling you, nor am Iasws upon trust from the life, but it is a Sunnah of the

‘Iasws am for priding a bounty, and with myselfasws Iasws saved it, being a bounty from Yourazwj
seventh sky with what Youazwj have Specialised usasws with. Youazwj will never see any turmoil
in measws, combating to measws, any resemblance in it, and for measws is the precedence in Al-

Heazwj Purified measws with the knowledge, a Purification, being in it Iasws have become

And for measws is the priding upon the people with myasws brideasws and herasws two sonsasws.
Then myasws pride is with Rasool-Allahsaww when hesaww got herasws married to measws. For
measws there are positions at Badr when the people were confused during it, at Ohad, and
Hunayn there were valued assets for measws. And Iasws am the bearer of the flag of truth,
