Hadith 54

rather they had slaughtered him in the second group at Kaskar. They said to him-asws, ‘We had judged in the religion of Allah-azwj by our opinions, and we are accepting that we had committed Kufr, but now we are repenting, so you-asws acknowledge with what we have acknowledged with and repent, we shall get up with you-asws to (fight) Syria’. He-asws said, ‘Do you not know that Allah-azwj the Exalted has Commanded with the arbitration during a split between the man and his wife? The Glorious Said: And if you fear a breach between the two, then appoint a judge from his family and a judge from her family; [4: 35]; and regarding a hunted prey like a rabbit equating to half a Dirham. He-azwj Said: ‘The possessor of justice from you would judge with it, [5: 95]’. They said to him, ‘Surely Amro (Bin Al-Aas), when he refused upon you-asws that you-asws should be saying (writing) in your agreement, ‘This is what a servant of Allah-azwj Ali-asws Amir Al-Momineen has written’, you-asws deleted your-asws name from the caliphate, and you-asws wrote: ‘Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws’. So, you-asws had vacated yourself-asws’. He-asws said: ‘For me-asws, with Rasool-Allah-saww, there is a model example, when Suheyl Bin Amro had refused upon him-saww that he-saww writes: ‘This is was Muhammad-saww, Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj and Suheyl Bin Amro had not agreed upon’, and said to him-saww, ‘If we were to acknowledge with you-saww as being Rasool-Allah-saww, we would not oppose you-saww, but we would place you-saww ahead due to your-saww merit. So, write, ‘Muhammad-saww son-saww of Abdullah-as’’. He-saww said to me-asws: ‘O Ali-asws! delete ‘Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj’’. I-asws said: ‘I-asws cannot urge myself-asws upon deleting your-saww name from the Prophet-hood’. He-saww said: ‘So, pause me-saww upon it’. Then he-saww deleted it by his-saww own hand, then said: ‘Write, ‘Muhammad-saww Bin Abdullah-as’’. Then he-saww had smiled at me-asws and said: ‘O Ali-asws! You-asws will be dropping similar to it, and you-asws will give in’. Two thousand from Haroura returned with him-asws, and they had gathered at it. Ali-asws said to them: ‘What shall I-asws name you as? ’ Then he-asws said: ‘You are Al-Harouriya, due to your having gathered at Haroura’’. [46]
And all the people of Seerah have reported that when Ali-asws crushed the group (Kharijites), he-asws searched for the one with the breast, with an intense search, and overturned the slain back to front, but was not able upon it. That saddened him-asws and he-asws went on to say: ‘By Allah-azwj! Neither have I-asws lied nor have I-asws been lied to. Seek the man, and surely he is among the people’. They did not cease searching for him until they found him, and he was a man of disabled hand, as if it was a breast in his chest’’. [47]
And it is reported by Ibn Dezeel, from Al Amsh, from Zayd Bin Wahab who said, ‘When Ali-asws fought them with the spears, he-asws said: ‘Search for the one with the breast! ’ They searched an intense search until they found him in a depression of the ground underneath some people from the slain ones. They came with him (his body), and there he was a man with like the hairs of a cat. Ali-asws
