Hadith 1

ravelled to Al-Kufa and made Abdullah Bin Abbas to be in charge upon Al-Basra. I arrived at Al-Kufa, and the faces, all of them had turned to me-asws except for Syria (Muawiya). I-asws loved to that the argument and fulfil the excuse, and I-asws with the Words of Allah-azwj Exalted: And if you fear treachery from a people, then discard (the agreement) to them upon equality, [8: 58]. I-asws sent Jareer Bin Abdullah to Muawiya offering an excuse to him, having taken the argument upon him. He returned my-asws letter and rejected my-asws right, and repelled my-asws allegiance, and he sent a message to me-asws, ‘Send the killer of Usman to me’. I-asws sent a message to him, ‘What have I-asws to do with the killer of Usman? ! His children are foremost with it, so you and them should enter into my-asws obedience’. Then the people disputed that I-asws should carry you and them upon the Book of Allah-azwj or else so this is (like) deceiving a child from breast-feeding for a while. When he despaired from this command, he sent a message to me, ‘Make Syria to be for me during your-asws lifetime, so that if the event of death occurs upon you, there would not be any obedience for me upon anyone’, and rather he intended with that to be free my-asws obedience from his neck, so I-asws refused unto him. He sent a message to me-asws, ‘The people of Al-Hijaz were rulers upon the people of Syrian. When they killed Usman, the people of Syria became the rulers over the people of Al-Hijaz’. I-asws sent a message to him: ‘If you were truthful, then name a man from Quraysh of Syria for whom the caliphate would be permissible for and he would accept to be in consultation. If you cannot find him, I-asws will name for you from Quraysh of Al-Hijaz, someone the caliphate is permissible for, and he would accept to be in the consultation. And I-asws looked at the people of Syria, and there they were, remainder of the confederates (Battle of Al-Ahzaab), a bed of fire and covetous flies gathered from every epidemic, from the ones it is befitting to be educated and carried upon the Sunnah, neither being from the Emigrants nor from the Helpers, nor the followers of goodness. I-asws called them to the obedience and the unity, but they refused except for separation and wretchedness. Then they rose up in the face of the Muslims, shooting at them with the arrows and the stabbing them with the spears. During that, I-asws rose up to them. When they were bitten by the weapons and found the pain of injuries, they raised the Parchments (Qurans). So, you all called to what is in it, and I-asws informed you that they were neither people of Religion nor Quran, and rather they were raising it as a plot and a deception. I-asws went on to fight them. You said, ‘Accept from them and restrain from them, for if them were to answer to what is in the Quran, we would (all) be united upon what we are (already) upon, of the truth’.
