Hadith 28

z, and he was angry, and he came over. When Rasool-Allah-saww saw him, said to him: ‘O Sa’ad! But, the Anger of Allah-azwj to what you are angered, is more Intense. What is that which angered you? Narrate to us with what you said during your anger until I-saww narrate to you with what the Angels said to the ones who you said to, and what Angels said to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and (what) Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Answered with’. Sa’ad said, ‘May by father and my mother (be sacrificed for you-saww, O Rasool-Allah-saww! While I was seated at my door, and in my presence were a number of my companions of the Helpers, when two men from the Helpers went too far (in their arguments), and I saw the hypocrisy in one of them. I disliked to enter in between them, fearing the increase in their evil, and I want both of them to stop. But, they did not stop and persisted in their evil until they both leapt at each other, and each one of them bared his sword upon his companion. So this one took his sword and his shield, and this one (took) his sword and his shield, and they both defended (with their shields) and struck (with their swords). Each one of them went on avoiding the sword of his companions by his shield, and I disliked entering in between them, fearing that a hand might be extended towards me in error, and I said within myself, ‘O Allah-azwj! Help the one who is more beloved to Your-azwj Prophet-saww and his-saww companion’. So they did not cease to be in conflict and not one of them was more able than the other, until your-saww brother-asws Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws emerged towards us. So I shouted at them both, ‘This is Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws! Why are you not respecting him-asws? Respect him-asws and refrain, for this is the brother-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww, and the most superior of the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww! ’

I was angry upon him, and I found intense feeling from that, and I said to him, ‘O servant of Allah-azwj! You are an evil servant. You did not respect the brother-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww, and beat with the injuries the one who respected him-asws, and he had paired that (respect) with refraining from defending himself from you; and you would not have enabled upon him except due to his reverence to the brother-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww’. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘So what is that which Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws did when your companion refrained, and the other one exceeded upon him? ’ He said, ‘He-asws went on looking at him and he was striking with his sword, not saying anything, nor preventing him. Then he went across and let them both, and the struck one perhaps in his last breath’. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘O Sa’ad! Perhaps you thought that, that rebel, the exceeded was victorious. There is no victory in the triumph of the one who is victorious by injustice! The oppressed one takes from the religion of the oppressor more than what the oppressor takes from his world.
