Hadith 53

one-handed? ’
He (the narrator) said, ‘Yes. Ali-asws killed him at a river its lower part is called Tamarra, and its upper part Al-Nahrawan, between Akhaqeeq and Tarfa’a’. She said, ‘Come to me with from the ones who witnessed’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I came to her with seventy men all the seven clans, and the people, when that happened, were seven groups. They testified in her presence that Ali-asws had killed him at a river, its lower part is called Tamarra, and its upper part Al-Nahrawan, between Akhaqeeq and Tarfa’a’. She said, ‘May Allah-azwj Curse Amro Bin Al-Aas, for he has written to me that he had been killed at the (river) Nile of Egypt’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘O mother of the believers! Inform me, which thing have you heard from Rasool-Allah-saww saying regarding them? ’ She said, ‘I heard Rasool-Allah-saww saying: ‘They are the evilest of creatures, and the creature who would be killing them is the best of the people and creation, and closest of them in the Presence of Allah-azwj as a means on the Day of Qiyamah’’. And from him, from Masrouq as well from another Hadeeth, ‘When the witnesses had testified in her presence, she said, ‘May Allah-azwj Curse Amro Bin Al-Aas, for he has written to me that he was killed in Egypt’. Yazeed Bin Ziyad said, ‘It is narrated to me by the one who heard Ayesha, ‘And the people of the river (Kharijites) were mentioned in her presence. She said, ‘I do not like that Allah-azwj Made him (Ali-asws) to be in charge of it’. They said, ‘And why is that so? ’
She said, ‘I heard from Rasool-Allah-azwj saying: ‘O Allah-azwj! They are evilest of my-saww community. The best of my-saww community would be killing them’. And what happened between me and him-asws wasn’t except what happens between the woman and her mother-in-law’’. And by the chain from him, ‘She said, ‘Write down for me a testimony of the one who witnessed Al-Nahrawan with Ali-asws’. So, I wrote down testimonies of seven from the one who had attended, then I came to her with the letter. I said, ‘O mother of the believers! Why do you (need) testimonies? ’ She said, ‘Amro Bin Al-Aas informed that he (The one-handed) was killed at the (river) Nile of Egypt’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘O mother of the believers! I ask you by the Right of Allah-azwj, and right of His-azwj Rasool-saww, and my right upon you, only inform me with what you heard from Rasool-Allah-azwj regarding him’. She said, ‘Since you are adjuring me, then, I heard Rasool-Allah-saww saying: ‘They are evilest of the creatures, and the creature who would be killing them is best of the creatures and creation, and closest of them in the Presence of Allah-azwj as a means’. And in another Hadeeth from him, she asked him, and he informed her that Ali-asws had killed them. She said, ‘Look at what you are saying’. I said, ‘He-asws is the one who killed them’. She said similar to what has preceded and there is an increase in it, ‘And answered a call’’. [17]
