Debate me with Ali AS killed. . . — Hadith 1

548. A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Al-Husayn Bin Yazeed Al-Nowfaly, from Ali Bin Dawood Al-Yaqouby, from Isa Bin Abdullah Al-Alawy who said: It has been narrated to me by Al-Asaydi and Muhammad Bin Basheer that Abdullah Bin Naf’a Al-Azraq used to say, ‘If only I knew someone between its (earth’s) diameter where my animal (ride) can reach to, who can debate with me that Ali (asws) killed the people of Naharwaan, and he (asws) was not unjust to them, I would ride over to him’ (to refute). So it was said to him, ‘And (what about his (asws) son (asws))? ’ He said, ‘Is his (asws) son (asws) a knowledgeable one? ’ So it was said to him, ‘This is your first ignorance. And have they (asws) ever been without a knowledgeable one? ’ He said, ‘So who is their (asws) knowledgeable one today? ’ It was said, ‘Muhammad (asws) Bin Ali (asws) Bin Al-Husayn Bin Ali (asws)’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So he rode over to him (asws) with the brave ones of his companions until he came up to Al-Medina. So he sought permission to see Abu Ja’far (asws). It was said to him (asws), ‘This is Abdullah Bin Naf’a’. He (asws) said; ‘So what has he to do with me (asws), and he ‘يَبْرَأُ’ distances himself (Tabarra) from me (asws) and from my (asws) father (asws) both morning and evening’. Abu Baseer Al-Kufy said to him (asws), ‘May I be sacrificed for you (asws), this one alleges that, ‘‘If only I knew someone between its (earth’s) diameter where my animal (ride) can reach to, who can debate with me that Ali (asws) killed the people of Naharwaan, and he (asws) was not unjust to them, I would ride over to him (to refute)’. So Abu Ja’far (asws) said to him: ‘You think he has come to me (asws) for a debate? ’ He said, ‘Yes’. He (asws) said: ‘O boy (servant), go out and unload his saddlebag, and tell him to come to us (asws) tomorrow’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So when it was the next day, Abdullah Bin Naf’a came with the brave ones of his companions, and Abu Ja’far (asws) sent a message to all the sons of the Emigrants and the Helpers and gathered them. Then he (asws) came out to the people wearing two alluring robes and faced the people as if he (asws) was the moon in orbit. So he (asws) said: ‘The Praise is due to Allah (azwj), the Awarder of the positions, and the Attribute of the attributes, and the Director of the directions. The Praise is due to Allah (azwj) “[2: 255] slumber does not overtake Him nor sleep; wh
