Hadith 357

(The book) ‘Al-Ghayba’ of Al-Numani – Ali Bin Al Husayn Al Masoudi, from Muhammad Al Attar, from Muhammad Bin Al Hassan Al Razy, from Muhammad Bin Ali Al Kufy, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Hammad, from Yaqoub Bin Abdullah Al Ashary, from Uteyba Bin Sa’dan Bin Yazeed, from Al Ahnaf Bin Qeys who said, ‘I entered to see Ali-asws regarding a need of mine. Ibn Al-Kawa and Shabas Bin Rabie came. They sought permission to see him-asws. Ali-asws said to me: ‘If you like, I-asws can permit for them, for you have begun (first) with he need’. I said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! Permit for them’. They entered. He-asws said: ‘What had carried you two upon coming out (rebelling) against me at Haroura (Al-Nahrwan)? ’ They said, ‘We loved to be from the wrath’. He-asws said: ‘Woe be unto you both! And is there wrath in my-asws Wilayah (governance)? Or can the wrath be until such and such from the afflictions takes place? ’’[138]
