Hadith 143

(The book) ‘Al Kafiya Al Ibtaal Tawbah Al Khatiya’ – From Amro Bin Shimr, from Jabir, ‘From Abu Ja’far Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws: ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws paused Talha and Al-Zubeyr during the day of the camel and addressed them both. He-asws said in his-asws speech to them: ‘The memorisers from the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww have known’ – and in another Hadeeth: ‘From the companions of Ayesha daughter of Abu Bakr. And here she is, so ask her, ‘Are the companions of the camel accursed upon the tongue of the Prophet-saww: and the one who fabricates would be disappointed’ [20: 61]’. Talha said to him-asws, ‘Glory be to Allah-azwj! You-asws are claiming I am accursed, and Rasool-Allah-saww had said: ‘Ten from my-saww companions would be in the Paradise’? ’
Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘This is a Hadeeth (from) Saeed Bin Zayd Bin Nufeyl during the governance of Usman naming to the ten’. He said, ‘They named nine and withheld from one’. He-asws said to them: ‘So, who is the tenth? ’ They said, ‘You-asws are’. He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj is the Greatest! As for you, you have testified to me-asws that I-asws am from the people of the Paradise, and I-asws, according to what you two are saying, am from the Kafirs. By the One-azwj Who Split the seed and Formed the person! The Ummy Prophet-saww made a pact to me-asws that there is a pit in Hell wherein would be six from the former ones and six from the latter ones. On top of the pit is a rock. Whenever Allah-azwj the Exalted Wants to Inflame Hell upon its inhabitants, would Command that rock, it would be raised among them, or with them would be the (nine) persons from the ones you mentioned. And either Allah-azwj would Make you to be victorious with me-asws, or else Allah-azwj would Make me-asws to be victorious with you two, and Kill you both due to your having killed from my-asws Shias’’.
