Hadith 132

e pulpit and this seated one is a fighter not standing up to pledge allegiance to you, or will you order with and I will strike off his-asws neck? ’
And Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws were standing. When they-asws heard the words of Umar, they-asws cried. So, he-asws hugged them-asws to his-asws chest and said: ‘Do not cry, for by Allah-azwj, they are not able upon killing your-asws father-asws’. And Umm Ayman-ra came grieving Rasool-Allah-saww and said, ‘O Abu Bakr! How quickly you have begun your envy and your hypocrisy! ’ Umar ordered with her-ra, and she-ra was expelled from the Masjid, and he said, ‘What have we to do with the women’. And Bureyda Al-Aslami stood up and said, ‘O Umar! Are you pouncing upon the brother-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww, and father-asws of his-saww children, and you are the one, we know you among Quraysh with what we recognise you. Aren’t you two the ones to whom Rasool-Allah-saww had said: ‘Go to Ali-asws and greet unto him-asws as ‘Amir Al-Momineen’? ’ So you both said, ‘Is it a Command from Allah-azwj and order of His-azwj Rasool-saww? ’ He-saww said: ‘Yes’’. Abu Bakr said, ‘That was like that, but Rasool-Allah-saww said after that: ‘There will not gather to the People-asws of my-saww Household, the caliphate and the Prophet-hood’. He said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww did not say this! By Allah-azwj, I will not dwell in a city you are a ruler in it’. Umar ordered with him, so he was hit and expelled. Then he said, ‘Stand O son-asws of Abu Talib-asws and pledge allegiance! ’ He-asws said: ‘Supposing I-asws do not do it? ’ He said, ‘Then by Allah-azwj, we will strike off your-asws neck’. He-asws argued against them three times, them extended his-asws hand from without having opened his-asws palm, and Abu Bakr hit his own hand upon it, and he was pleased with that from him-asws. Ali-asws called out before he-asws pledged allegiance, and the rope was still in his-asws neck: ‘‘Son of my mother! Surely the people weakened me and they almost killed me [7: 150]’. And he said to Al-Zubeyr, ‘Pledge allegiance! ’ But he refused, so Umar and Khalid and Al-Mugheira Bin Shu’ba among people, leapt and snatched his sword, and they struck the ground with it until they broke it. Then they tied him. Al-Zubeyr said while Umar was upon his chest, ‘O Ibn Suhaak! But, by Allah-azwj! If my sword was in my hand, you would have fallen from me’. He pledged allegiance’. Salman-ra said, ‘Then they seized me-ra and pained my-ra neck until they left it like the (bent) rib’. Then they grabbed my-ra hand and wriggled it and I-ra pledged allegiance abhorrently. Then Abu Zarr-ra, and Al-Miqdad-ra pledged unwillingly, and no one from the community pledged unwillingly apart from Ali-asws and four of us-ra. And there did not happen to be anyone from us-ra of more severe words than Al-Zubeyr. When he pledged allegiance, he said, ‘O Ibn Suhaak! But, by Allah-azwj, had it not been for these tyrants supporting you, you would not have advanced to me, and with me would be my s
