(The book) ‘Al Majaalis’ of Al Mufeed – Ali Bin Khalid Al Maraghy, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Al Kufy, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Marwan, from his father, from Ubeyd Bin Khuneys Al Abdy, from Sabbal Al Muzny, from Abdullah Bin Shareek, from Al Haris Bin Sa’alba who said, ‘Two men arrived intending Makkah and Al-Medina during the crescent or before the crescent. They found the people getting up to go to Hajj. He said, ‘We went out with them, and there were riders, among them was a man as if he was their commander. He isolated from them. He said, ‘Are you Iraqis? ’ We said, ‘We are Iraqis’. He said, ‘Are you Kufians? ’ We said, ‘Kufians’. He said, ‘Who are you two from? ’ We said, ‘From the clan of Kinana’. He said, ‘From which clan of Kinana? ’ We said, ‘From the clan of Malik Bin Kinana’. He said, ‘Welcome upon welcome! And nearness upon nearness! I adjure you both with every Revealed Book, and Messenger-as Prophet-as! Have you two heard Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws reviling me, or saying he-asws is inimical, or will be fighting me? ’ We said, ‘Who are you? ’ He said, ‘I am Sa’ad Bin Abu Waqas’. We said, ‘But we have heard him-asws saying: ‘Fear Fitna of Al-Ukheynas’. He said, ‘Al Khuneys are many, but have you heard him-asws being annoyed with my name? ’ We said, ‘No’. He said, ‘Allah-azwj is the Greatest! Allah-azwj is the Greatest! I have strayed, then I would not be from the rightly Guided ones [6: 56]. If I have (God Forbid) oppose him-asws after four (things) I have heard from Rasool-Allah-saww, even if one of these were to be for me, it would have been more beloved to me than the world and whatever is in it, living in it the age of Noah-as’. We said, ‘Name these’. He said, ‘I do not remember these except, and I do want to name these. Rasool-Allah-saww sent with (Surah) Bara’at to be implemented to the Polytheists. When he (Abu Bakr) had travelled for a night or part of a night, he-saww sent Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws towards him. He-saww said: ‘Take possession of (Surah) Bara’at from him and return him to me-saww’. Amir Al-Momineen-asws went to him and took possession of (Surah) Bara’at from him and returned him to Rasool-Allah-saww. When he was in front of him-saww, he cried and said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Has anything newly occurred regarding me, or Quran (Verse) Revealed regarding me? ’
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Quran has not been Revealed regarding you, but Jibraeel-as came to me-saww and said: ‘No one should deliver it on your-saww behalf except you-saww or a man from you-saww, and Ali-asws is from me-saww and I-saww am from Ali-asws, and no one should deliver it on my-saww behalf except Ali-asws’’
We said to him, ‘And what is the second? ’ He said, ‘We used to be in the Masjid of Rasool-Allah-saww, and the family of Ali-asws, and family of Abu Bakr, and family of Umar, and his uncles. One night he-saww called out among us: ‘Get out from the Masjid, except the family of Rasool-Allah-saww and family of Ali-asws! ’’
He said, ‘We got out, dragging out belongings. When it was morning, Hamza-asws came to him-saww
