If you-asws see fit, can you-asws seek permission for us to see your-asws father-asws? ’ He-asws said: ‘Yes’. Then he-asws permitted for the group, and they entered, and with them was Khalid Bin Al-Waleed. The group began with the greetings, and he-asws returned the greetings unto them, similar to that. When he-asws looked at Khalid, he-asws said: ‘Good morning, O Abu Suleyman! ’ Best of the necklaces is your necklace’. He said, ‘By Allah-azwj, O Ali-asws! There is no survival for me unless the time helps me’. Ali-asws said to him: ‘Ugh to you, O son of ugly (woman)! By the One-azwj Who Split the seed and Formed the person! You are weak in my-asws presence, and your soul is not in my-asws hands except like a house fly falling upon hot sauce, so it is flicked off from it. Avail from yourself its availing, and leave us-asws wise ones in our-asws situation, or else I-asws will join you with the one you are more rightful with the killing than he is. And leave from us-asws, O Abu Suleyman, of what has passed, and take to what remains. By Allah-azwj! Do not try to swallow an immense (thing) unless you can swallow it. By Allah-azwj! You have seen my-asws worth and your worth, and my-asws soul and your soul. So, my-asws soul would be in the Paradise, and your soul would be in the Fire’. He (the narrator) said, ‘The group came in between the two and asked him-asws to cut the speech. Abu Bakr said to Ali-asws, ‘We did not come to you-asws for what you-asws are contradicting Abu Suleyman, and rather we presented for something else, and you-asws have not ceased, O Abu Al-Hassan-asws, standing upon opposing me, and the audacity upon my companions, and we have left you-asws alone, so you-asws leave us alone, and do not respond to us for there would be such a response from us, what would bother you and increase the inactivity to your-asws inactivity. Ali-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj has already Isolated me-asws from you and from your group, and is Comforting me-asws in every isolation. And as for Ibn Al-Waleed, the frustrated, so I-asws shall narrate to you his news. When he saw the strength of his army and the large number of his group, he boasted within himself, so I-asws wanted the drop to be from me-asws in a high place and place with a gathering, in order for him to arrive with that to the people of the gathering. I-asws placed down what was in his mind, and he thought of killing me-asws, and he is well knowing with me-asws as is the right of knowing, and Allah-azwj will not be Pleased with his deeds’. Abu Bakr said to him, ‘But we are weakened due to your-asws sitting back from helping, and scarcity of your-asws desire regarding the Jihad. Is it a Command of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww, or are you-asws doing this from yourself-asws! ? ’
