Hadith 77

And from it regarding the story of the killing of Ka’ab Bin Al-Ashraf and the evacuation of the clan of Nazeer: –
‘I-asws recognise and the ones who are moderate recognise, and I-asws am certainly true and did not discard the truthful speech he-saww had come with from Allah-azwj with the kindness and the compassion, messages to be studied among the Momineen, with these was Chosen Ahmad-saww, the Chosen one. So Ahmad-saww became dear among us, dear of the position and the standing. O you the threatened, its foolish ones, who did not come with tyranny and were not harsh! Aren’t you fearing even the lowest of the Punishments? And Allah-azwj has not Granted safety like the fearing. So, if you were to lie down beneath our sword like the lying down of Ka’ab Abu Al-Ashraf in the early morning. Allah-azwj Saw his despotism and objections like the frightened camel. Jibraeel-as descended regarding his killing with a soothing Revelation to His-azwj servant. So, the Rasool-saww sent a messenger (Muhammad Bin Maslama) secretly with a delicate canopy. The eyes spent the night lamenting, shedding tears when the news of death of Ka’ab came. They said to Ahmad-saww, ‘Leave us a little, for we are from the lamenters, not curling. He-saww took them to the side, then said: ‘Give them the tears upon rubbing of their noses’. And the evacuation of (clan of) Nazeer was to the west, and they were with decorated houses, to Syria, riding behind them upon every (camel) with back injury, is even more strange’’. [265]
