Hadith 26

he said, ‘Al-Aas Bin Wail spent a lot upon me, and Abu Sufyan is miserly’. Regarding that Hassan Bin Sabit said to Amro Bin Al-Aas, where he satirised his sufficing to him about his satirising Rasool-Allah-saww (a poem), ‘Your father is Abu Sufyan, there is no doubt, there have appeared to us from him proofs and evidence. You should pride with him. Pride, for you cannot pride with Al-Aas the satirist son of Wail, and that the Prophet-saww had decided regarding that, O Amro, so the wishes said at that to the achiever from Al-Aas is Amro. The people know, all of them, the people gathering at the forums’’. [100]
And it is reported by Ibn Abdul Birr in (the book) ‘Al Istiyab’, from Ibn Al Kalby in his book regarding the news reports of Siffeen –
‘Busr Bin Artah duelled Ali-asws on the day of Siffeen. Ali-asws stabbed him, but he uncovered (his nakedness) to him-asws.

A youth from the people of Al-Kufa shouted, ‘Woe be unto you all, people of Syria! Are you not shamed Amro has taught you uncovering of the private parts? ’ Then he prosed couplets.
