Hadith 319

(The book) ‘Kashf Al Yaqeen’ of the Allama, may his soul be sanctified –
‘There was a son for Abu Dulaf, and his companions discussed regarding the love of Ali-asws and hating him-asws. One of them reported from the Prophet-saww that he-saww said: ‘O Ali-asws! No one will love you-asws except a pious Momin, nor hate you-asws except a child of adultery (bastard), or (conceived when his mother) was menstruating’. The son of Abu Dulaf said, ‘What are you saying the Emir can he be accessed in his family? ’ They said, ‘No’. He said, ‘By Allah-azwj! I am the severest of the people hateful to Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws! ’
His father came out while they were quarrelling, and he said, ‘By Allah-azwj! This Hadeeth is true. He is a child of adultery and menstruation, both together. I was ill in the house of my brother, in fever for three days. A maid entered to see me to fulfil a need. She called me to herself. I refused, but she said, ‘I am menstruating’. She was arrogant upon herself. I slept with her, and she became pregnant with this son, so he is of adultery and menstruation, both together’’. [164]
And my father narrated saying, ‘One day I was crossing in one of the gates of Baghdad with my companions and thirst afflicted me. I said to one of my companions, ‘Search for water from one of the gates’. He went seeking the water and I stood, me and the remainder of my companions, awaiting the water, and two children were playing. One of them was saying, ‘The Imam-asws, he-asws is Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib Amir Al-Momineen-asws’, and there other one was saying, ‘It is Abu Bakr’. I said, ‘The Prophet-saww spoke the truth: ‘O Ali-asws! No one will love you-asws except a Momin, nor hate you-asws except one born of menstruation! ’ A woman came out with the water and said, ‘With Allah-azwj upon you, O my master! I heard what you said. You said a Hadeeth reporting it from the Prophet-saww. There is no need to remind it’. She repeated the question, so I reported it to her. She said, ‘By Allah-azwj, of my master! It is a true Hadeeth. These two are my sons. The one who loves Ali-asws was born (out of) cleanliness, and the one who hates him, I conceived him during the menstruation. His father had come to me and coerced me against myself in the state of menstruating. He attained from me and I became pregnant with this one who hates Ali-asws’’. [165]
