Hadith 126

Syria after me’. And the Arabs used to pride with his-asws standing in the war in facing it. As for his-asws slain ones, their group were priding that their slain ones were killed by the most prevailing. And a sister of Amro Bin Abd Wudd said a war poem, ‘And had the killer of Amro been other than his killer, I would have cried over him forever for as long as I lived in the time. But his killer is the one-asws, there is no match for him-asws, and his-asws father was been called, ‘Helmet of the city’’. And one day Muawiya woke up and he had seen (in a dream) Abdullah Bin Zubeyr seated upon a throne by his feet. Abdullah said to him, ‘O commander of the faithful! If I had so desired to kill you, I would have done so’. He said, ‘You have become bold after us, O Abu Bakr! ’ He said, ‘And what is that which you are denying from my bravery, and I have paused in the row facing Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws’. He said, ‘There is no doubt he-asws would have killed you and your father with his-asws left hand, and his-asws right hand would have remained free seeking the anyone (else) he-asws could kill with it’. And a summary of the matter is that every brave one in the world ends to him-asws, and he calls with his-asws name, in the east of the earth and its west. And as for the strength and the hand, the examples are being struck regarding these. Ibn Quteyba said in (the book) ‘Al-Ma’arif’, ‘No one wrestled him at all except he-asws wrestled him down; and he-asws is the one who uprooted the gate of Khyber (fort) and a platoon of people had gathered to overturn it, but they could not turn it over. And he-asws is the one who uprooted Hobal (idol) from the top of the Kaaba, and it was excessively big, and he-asws threw it to the ground; and he-asws is the one who uprooted the large rock during the days of his-asws caliphate after the frustration by the army, all of it, and the water sprung from beneath it. And as for the generosity and the munificence, so his-asws state regarding it is apparent. He-asws was Fasting and folding (due to hunger), and he-asws preferred (others) with his-asws provision, and regarding him-asws was Revealed: And they fed the food to a poor, and an orphan and a captive out of love (for Allah), [76: 8] (They said): ‘But rather, we are feeding you for the Face of Allah, neither wanting any recompense from you nor any appreciation’ [76: 9]. And it is reported by the interpreters that he-asws had not possessed except four Dirhams and he-asws gave in charity with a Dirham at night, and a Dirham at daytime, and a Dirham secretly, and a Dirham openly. So, it was Revealed regarding him-asws: Those who are spending their wealth by the night and the day, secretly and openly, [2: 274]. And it is reported from him that he-asws had watered the palm trees of a group of Jews of Al-Medina until his-asws hands had boils, and he-asws gave the wages in charity and tied a stone upon his-asws belly (out of extreme hunger)’. And Al-Shaby said, and he had mentioned him-asws, ‘He-asws was the most generous of the people, and he-asws was upon the manners which Allah-azwj Loves – the generosity
