Hadith 303

(The book) ‘Basharat Al Mustafa-saww’ – Ibn Sheykh Al Taifa, from his father, from Abdul Wahid Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Uqdah, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Affan, from Al-Hassan Bin Atiya, from Sa’ad, from Abdullah Bin Ata’a, from Abdullah Bin Bureyda, from his father who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww sent for Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws and Khalid Bin Al Waleed, each one of them alone, and gathered the two of them, and he-saww said when he-saww gathered the two of them: ‘Upon you is Ali-asws. He-saww took us right and left, and he-saww grabbed Ali-asws and went distant, and attained something, and he-asws took a slave girl from the Khums (war booty). Bureyda said, ‘And I used to be the most intensely hateful of the people to Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, and Khalid Bin Abdul Wahid has known that. A man came over to Khalid and informed him that he-asws had taken a slave girl from the Khums. He said, ‘What is this? ’ Then another one came. Then the news was successive upon that. Khalid called me over and he said, ‘O Bureyda! I have understood that which he-asws has done. Go with this letter of mine to Rasool-Allah-saww and inform him-saww’. And he wrote to him-saww. I went with his letter until I came over to Rasool-Allah-saww. He-saww took the letter and held it in his-saww left hand, and it was just as Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said, he-saww could neither write nor read. (P. s. There is no such Verse). And I was a man, whenever I spoke, I would bow down my head until I was free of my need. So I spoke regarding Ali-asws until I was free, then I raised my head, and I saw Rasool-Allah-saww had become angry with such an anger I had not seen him-saww with an anger the likes of it, at all except on the day of Qareyza and Al-Nazeer’. He-saww looked at me and he-saww said: ‘O Bureyda! Ali-asws is your Guardian after me-saww, so I-saww love Ali-asws. But rather, he-asws does whatever he-asws is instructed with’. I arose and there was no one from the people who was more beloved to me than him-asws’’. [146]
And Abdullah in Ata’a said, ‘I narrated to Harb Bin Suweyd Bin Gafala. He said, ‘Abdullah Bin Bureyda has concealed part of the Hadeeth. Rasool-Allah-saww had said to him: ‘Will become a hypocrite after me-saww, O Bureyda? ’’[147]
