Hadith 54

stood up and said, ‘What is this, O Amir Al-Momineen-asws? ’ He-asws said: ‘This! this is how this one will kill this one, and this one will kill this one, absolute ignorance. There is neither any guidance in it nor knowledge to be seen. We-asws, People-asws of the Household are disavowed from it with a salvation, and we-asws aren’t in it with heresies (innovations)’. A man stood up and said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! What should we do during that time? ’

He-asws will give them disgrace and make them drink a cup of aloe (a bitter drink from a wild plant). He-asws will not give them except the sword, war (after) war, placing the sword upon his-asws shoulder for eight months’. During that, Quraysh would wish with this world and whatever is in it, ‘If they could show me even one place to milk a sheep or to slaughter a camel’, in order to turn back some of that which is coming upon them, to the extent that Quraysh would be saying, ‘If this one was from the sons-asws of (Syeda) Fatima-asws, he-asws would have mercy on us! ’
Allah-azwj would Let him be deceived by the clan of Umayya and Make them, Accursed! Wherever they are found they shall be seized and killed with a massacre [33: 61] Being a Sunnah of Allah regarding those who have gone before, and you will never find any alteration in the Sunnah of Allah [33: 62]’’.

From a speech of his-asws spoke to the Kharijites, and he-asws had gone out to their army camp, and they were standing upon the denial of the arbitration. He-asws said: ‘Did all of you attend Siffeen with us? ’ They said, ‘From us are one who attended, and from us are one who did not attend’. He-asws said: ‘Separate into two segments. Let the ones who attended Siffeen be in one section, and the ones who did not attend Siffeen be in one section, until I speak to each with its speech’, and he-asws called out at the people, he-asws said: ‘Withhold from the talking and listen attentively to my-asws words, and accept to me-asws with your hearts. So, the one we adjure him with a testimony, let him speak with his knowledge regarding it’. Then he-asws spoke to them with a lengthy speech, from it is: ‘Did you not say during their raising the Qurans, ‘It is a trick, and craftiness, and a plot, and a deception.
