Hadith 5

amed me-asws as ‘Haider’. When Marhab heard it from him-asws, he fled and did not stop out of fear cautioned by his foster mother about him-asws. Iblees-la resembled for him in an image of a Rabbi from the Rabbis of the Jews and said: ‘To where, O Marhab? ’ He said, ‘This one has named upon me as Haider’. Iblees-la said to him, ‘So, what is Haider? ’ He said, ‘My so and so foster mother has warned me from duelling a man whose name is Haider and she said that he-asws would kill me’. Iblees-la said to him, ‘It would be damaging for you if there does not happen to be any Haider except this one along due to the like of you returning from the like of him-asws. You are taking with the word of the women and they are mistaken more than what they are correct, and ‘Haider’s in the world are a lot, therefore return, perhaps you will kill him-asws, and if you were to kill him your people would prevail, and I-la am covering your back getting the Jews to scream their support for you’. So he-la returned him. By Allah-azwj! It wasn’t except like a hiccup of a camel until Ali-asws struck him with a strike, he fell to his face from it, and the Jews were defeated saying, ‘Marhab is killed! Marhab is killed! ’
He said, ‘And regarding that Al-Kumeyt Bin Yazeed Al-Asady said a couplet in his-asws praise, ‘He gulped down a potion of death, son of Usman, after having been coaxed from it, Waleed and Marhab’. And Al-Waleed, he is a son of Utba, maternal uncle of Muawiya Bin Abu Sufyan and Usman Bin Talha from Quraysh, and Marhab is from the Jews’’. [4]
