Hadith 60

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Tusi – A group, from Abu Al Mufazzal, from Al Hassan Bin Musa Bin Khalaf, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Fazl, from Abdullah Bin Musa Al Absy, from Talha Bin Khayr Al Makky, from Al Muttalib Bin Abdullah, from Mus’ab Bin Abdul Rahman Bin Awf, from his father who said, ‘When the Prophet-saww conquered Makkah, he-saww left to go to Al-Taif, meaning to (Battle of) Hunayn. He-saww besieged them, then up to ten or seventeen (days), but could not conquer it. Then they were stealthy or careful. Then they descended, then fled. He-saww said: ‘O you people! I-saww shall be over-indulgent to you all and your appointment is as the Fountain, and I-saww bequeath you to be good to my-saww family’. Then he-saww said: ‘By the One-azwj in Whose hand is my-saww soul! Either you will establish the Salat and give the Zakaat, or I-saww will be sending to you a man from me-saww, or like myself-saww, so let him-asws strike off the necks of your fighters, and let him-asws capture your offspring’. Some people viewed that he-saww had meant Abu Bakr or Umar, so he-saww grabbed a hand of Ali-asws and said: ‘He-asws is this one! ’
Al-Muttalib Bin Abdullah (a narrator) said, ‘I said to Mus’ab Bin Abdul Rahman (a narrator), ‘What was the state of your father upon what he-saww did? ’ He said, ‘By Allah-azwj! I am more surprised from that’’. [71]’
