Hadith 185

y, O chieftess of the women, upon these overturned people and do not cause a punishment (to descend upon people)’. And the pangs of pain intensified with her-asws and she-asws entered the house and the baby had died. Ali-asws had named him-asws as ‘Mohsin’, And a large gathering had gathered, not being a lot for Ali-asws, but for them to strengthen my heart, and I came, and he-asws was besieged, and (we) expelled him-asws from his-asws house unwillingly, usurped, and ushered him to the allegiance with an ushering, and I knew with knowledge of certainty, there being no doubt in it, if I and the entirety of the ones upon the earth were to fight upon forcing him-asws, we would not be able to force him-asws, but for a cleverness which was in his-asws self, I knew it and did not say it. When I ended to Saqeefa of the clan of Saeeda, Abu Bakr and the ones in his presence stood mocking Ali-asws. Ali-asws said: ‘O Umar! Would you like to hasten what I-asws have delayed it away from you? ’ I said, ‘No, O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! ’ By Allah-azwj! Khalid Bin Al-Waleed made me hear, and he was quick to Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr said to him, ‘What have I got to do with Umar? ’ – thrice, and the people were listening. And when he-asws entered the tent (Saqeefa), Abu Bakr pitied to him-asws.

We came to him-asws, and he-asws made the grave as a direction, extending his-asws palm upon its soil, and around him-asws were Salman-ra, and Abu Zarr-ra, and Al Miqdad-ra, and Ammar-ra, and Huzeyfa Bin Al-Yaman. We sat parallel to him-asws, and I advised to Abu Bakr that he places his hand upon the similar to what Ali-asws had placed his-asws hand, and draw it closer to his-asws hand.
