Hadith 1

Please note – Reference numbers 747 to 900 are missing. Abdul Hameed Bin Abi Al Hadeed said, ‘There was a group at Sana’a who was from the loyalists of Usman, considering his killing as grievous. There neither happened to be any system for them nor any chief. They pledged allegiance to Ali-asws upon what was in themselves, and the office bearer for Ali-asws upon Sana’a in those days was Ubeydullah Bin Al-Abbas, and his-asws office bearer upon Al-Janad was Saeed Bin Nimran. When the people differed upon Ali-asws at Al-Iraq, and Muhammad Bin Abu Bakr was killed at Egypt, and the raids by the people of Syria were frequent, they spoke and claimed to seek the blood of Usman, and they refused the charities, and manifested the opposition. Ubeydullah and Saeed wrote that to Amir Al-Momineen-asws. When their letters arrive, Ali-asws was hurt and angered, and he-asws wrote to them: –
‘From a servant of Allah-azwj, Ali-asws Amir Al-Momineen, to Ubeydullah Bin Al-Abbas and Saeed Bin Nimran: ‘Greetings be upon you both. I-asws praise Allah-azwj to you Who, there is no god Except He-azwj. As for after, your letter came to me mentioning in it the advent of these Kharijites magnifying the small of its concerns, and multiplying into more its few numbers, and I-asws know the choice of your hearts, and smallness of your selves, and the ruination of your views, and your evil handling (of matters). He is the one who spoil it upon you both, one who did not happen to be a spoiler upon you, and was audacious upon you, one who used to be cowardly from meeting you (in battle). So when my-asws messenger comes to you, then continue to the group until you read out my-asws letter to them and call them to their fate and fear of their Lord-azwj. If they answer, we shall praise Allah-azwj and accept them, and if they declare war, we shall seek Assistance with Allah-azwj against them and resist them upon the equality. surely Allah does not Love the treacherous [8: 58]’. He-asws wrote to them (Kharijites): ‘From a servant of Allah-azwj Ali-asws Amir Al-Momineen, to one being troublesome and treacherous, from the people of Al-Janad and Sana’a. As for after, I-asws praise Allah-azwj to you Who, there is no god except He-azwj, the One Who there is nothing following His-azwj Judgment nor any aversion to His-azwj Decree, and there is no averting His Wrath from the criminal people [6: 147]. As for after, it has reached me-asws, your rallying, and your discord, and your objections about your religion after the obedience, and giving the allegiance, and the affinity. I-asws asked the people of religion, the sincere, and the pious, the truthful, and correct understanding about the beginning of your advent and what you are intending with it, and what has exasperated (infuriated) you to it, and I-asws was narrated about that with what I-asws cannot see any clear excuse for you regarding anything from it, nor any beautiful words, nor any apparent argument. When my-asws messenger comes to you, then disperse (from revolt) and leave to your belongings
