Hadith 13

(were needed to) lock it. And when Amir Al-Momineen-asws opened the fortress and killed Marhab and Allah-azwj Gave the booty of their wealth to the Muslims, Rasool-Allah-saww permitted Hassan Bin Sabit Al-Ansari to be saying a poem regarding him-asws. He-saww said to him: ‘Say it! ’ He prosed saying, ‘And Ali-asws was with sore eyes seeking a cure. When he-asws did not find a healing, Rasool-Allah-saww cured him-asws from it with his-saww spittle. Blessed is the healed and Blessed is the healer; and he-saww said: ‘I-saww will give the flag today to a resolute, valiant (fearless) one loving the Rasool-saww, loyal, loving my-saww God and his-asws God Loves him-asws. By him-asws Allah-azwj Opened the strong fortress, so He-azwj Cleaned by Ali besides the wilderness, all of it, and he-asws named him-asws as the Vizier of the brotherhood’. And it has been reported the companions of the Hadeeth, from Al-Hassan Bin Salih, from Al-Amsh, from Abu Is’haq, from Abu Abdullah Al-Jadaly who said, ‘When I overturned the door of Khyber I-asws made it to be a shield for me-asws and fought them with it. When Allah-azwj Defeated them, I-asws placed the door upon their fortress as a road then threw it into their trench’. A man said to him-asws, ‘You had carried a heavy load from it’. He-asws said: ‘It wasn’t except like my-asws shield which tends to be in my-asws hand in other than that place’’. And the companions (write) of the Seerah mentioned that when the Muslims left from Khyber they got together to carry the door, they could not even uproot it from them except with seventy men. And regarding Amir Al-Momineen-asws carrying the door the poet said (a poem), ‘A man lifted the door of Khyber on a day the Jews with strength, carrying the door, ripping it off, and the Muslims and the people of Khyber were watching, and he-asws threw it, and the return of it was encumbered by seventy persons, all of them tough, returning it after encumberment and difficulty, and their words to each other echoed’. And regarding it as well, a poet from the Shia poets said in praise of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and satirising his-asws enemies upon what is reported by Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Jamhour who said, ‘I read out to Abu Usman Al-Maziny (a poem), I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘In the register attributed to him-asws: ‘I-asws am the one my-asws mother-asws named me as Haider, a strong lion, a lion of ferocity, short arms of intense strength, like a forest lion abhorrent of the scenery. I-asws will measure to you all with the sword a measure of attrition. I-asws will strike you a sword between the vertebra, and leave the generation remaining in blood. I-asws shall strike with the sword necks of the Kafirs, a strike of a glorious conquering boy, one who leave the truth would stand small. I-asws shall killed from them seven or ten, as all of them are people of mischief, immoral’’. [12]
