Hadith 60

(The book) ‘Al Ihtijaj’ – Abu Bakr and Umar sent a message to Khalid Bin Al-Waleed, and they promised him, and separated him upon the killing of Ali-asws, and he guaranteed that to them. Asma Bint Umays, wife of Abu Bakr, heard, and she was in her veil, so she sent a maid of hers and said: ‘Go to the house of Ali-asws and say, The chiefs have issued an order for you to be killed, [28: 20]. The maid did so, and Ali-asws made her hear it. He-asws said: ‘May Allah-azwj have Mercy on her. Say to your mistress, ‘So who would be killing the breakers (of the covenant), and the renegades, and the deviants? ’’
And the appointed time fell for the Salat Al-Fajr, when it would be more hidden and more concealed due to the darkness, and the suspicious, but Allah would Accomplish His Command. [65: 3], and Abu Bakr said to Khalid Bin Al-Waleed, ‘Finish from Al-Fajr (Salat) and strike off his-asws neck’. He prayed to his-asws for that reason, and Abu Bakr was in the Salat thinking regarding the consequences, and he regretted. He said in his Salat until the sun almost emerged, he reconsidered the opinion and feared the Fitna (strife), and did not feel safe upon himself, so he said before he recited Salaam in his Salat, ‘O Khalid! Do not do what I had instructed you with’ – three times. And in another report, ‘Do not do it Khalid, what had instructed’. Ali-asws turned and there was Khalid deliberating upon the sword to his side. He-asws said: ‘O Khalid! Or would you have done it? ’ He said, ‘Yes, by Allah-azwj if he had not forbidden me, I would have placed it in most of your-asws hair’. Ali-asws said to him: ‘You are lying, may there be no mother for you! One who does it (kills me-asws) would be of a narrower throat than you. But, by the One-azwj Who Split the seed and Formed the personal! Had there not preceded from the Decree, you would have known which of the two sects more evil position and of a weaker army’ [19: 75]. And in a report of Abu Zarr-ra, ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws grabbed Khalid with his-asws fingers – the forefinger and the middle – during that time, and he-asws squeezed with a squeezing. Khalid screamed an evil scream. The people panicked and were concerned for themselves, and Khalid urinated in his clothes and went on to hit his-asws legs and did not speak. Abu Bakr said to Umar, ‘This is your advice overturned. It is as if I am looking that this and Praising Allah-azwj upon our safety’. And every time someone approached to finish his-asws hand, he-asws dragged him for a moment isolating him against. So Abu Bakr sent for Al-Abbas. He came, and he sought intercession to him, and oathed to him and said, ‘By the right of the grave (of Rasool-Allah-saww) and the one-saww in it
