Hadith 19

l Make it to swallow them up. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Said: And if only you could see when they will panic, and they shall not escape, and they would be seized from a nearby place [34: 51]. He-asws said: ‘(The ground will shift) from underneath their feet – so there will not remain from that army anyone apart from one man, whose face will have been turned from the scruff of his neck. And Allah-azwj will Send for Al-Mahdi-asws a people. He-azwj will Gather them from the corners of the earth like the gathering of the clouds in autumn. By Allah-azwj, I-asws know their names, and the name of their Emir (leader), and where their rides will stop. Al-Mahdi-asws will enter the Kaabah, and he-asws will be crying and beseeching. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Said: Or, One Who Answers the distressed one when he supplicates to Him and He Removes the evil, and He will Make you to be Caliphs of the earth! Is there a god along with Allah? Little is what you heed [27: 62]. This is exclusively for us-asws, the People-asws of the Household. But, by Allah-azwj, O Muawiya, I-asws have written to you this letter, and I-asws know that you will not benefit by it, and you will be happy when I-asws informed you that you will have the command, and your son after you, because the Hereafter is not in your mind, and without (securing) the Hereafter you are from the deniers (Kafir). And you will regret just like the one who gave you the command regretted it, and burdened you upon our-asws necks, but his regret will not benefit him. And from what I-asws have been invited to write to you with what I-asws have written, I-asws ordered my scribe to make a copy of that for my-asws Shiites, and the chiefs of my-asws friends, and it is for Allah-azwj to Make them to benefit by that, or if anyone from before you were to read it, so Allah-azwj will Take them by it and by us-asws, out from straying and into the Guidance, and from your injustices and the injustices of your companions and their strife, And I-asws preferred to argue against you’. Muawiya wrote to him-asws, ‘Congratulations to you-asws, O Abu Al-Hassan-asws for the Kingdom of the Hereafter, and congratulations to us for our kingdom in the world’’. [92]
(The book) ‘Ghaybat Al Numani’ – Ibn Uqada, and Muhammad Bin Hammam, and Abd Al Aziz, and Abdul Wahid two sons of Abdullah Bin Yunus, from their men, from Abdul Razzaq Bin Hammam, from Ma’mar Bin Rashid, from Aban Bin Abu Ayyash, and it is informed to us from other than this path by Haroun Bin Muhammad, from Ahmad Bin Ubeyd Bin Ja’far Bin Al Molalla Al Hamdany, from Amro Bin Jamie Bin Amro Al Kinany, from Abdullah Bin Al Mubarak, an elder of ours, of Al Kufa, reliable, from Abdul Razzaq Bin Hammam, from Ma’mar, from Abu Ayyash, from Suleym, and Aban mentioned he heard it as well from Umar Bin Abu Salama, ‘Ma’mar said and mentioned Ibrahim Al Abdy, he was well heard it from Umar Bin Abu Salama, from Suleym, ‘When Muawiya called Abu Al-Darda and Abu Hureyra, and we were with Amir Al-Momineen-asws in Siffeen, they carried the message to Amir Al-Momineen-asws and delivered it to him-asws. You have both delivered to me what message Muawiya had sent you with. (Now) listen from me-asws and deliver it from me-asws just as you have delivered it to me-asws’. They said, ‘Yes’. Ali-asws answered him with its length until he-asws ended to mention Rasool-Allah-saww’s nominating him-asws at Ghadeer Khumm, and he-asws continued the Hadeeth, approximate to what we reported from Kitab Suleym, up to his-asws words. Abu Darda and Abu Hureyra went and narrated whatever Ali-asws had said and witnessed upon it, and what the people responded to him and they witnessed it’’. [93]
