Hadith 1

me, and the words which were from Al-Zubeyr regarding it, I-asws sent a message to them both, adjuring them with the right of Muhammad-saww: ‘Do not come to me-asws (for battle) and the people of Egypt have besieged Usman’. You two said, ‘Come with us to this man (Usman), for we are not able upon killing him except by you-asws, due to what you-asws know that he had expelled Abu Zarr-ra, and injured Ammar, and sheltered Al-Hakan Bin Abu Al-Aas, and although Rasool-Allah-saww, and Abu Bakr, and Umar had expelled him, and he utilised the transgressor Al-Waleed Bin Uqba upon (compiling) the Book of Allah-azwj, and had authorise Khalid Bin Urfutah Al-Uzry upon the Book of Allah-azwj with tearing it and burning it’. I-asws said: ‘All this you have known, and I-asws do not see his killing in this day of mine-asws, and no doubt it can be quenched if the butter were to bring out its foam. Accept what I-asws am saying to you both’. And as for your words that you are both seeking the blood of Usman, so here are his two sons, Amro and Saeed. Free their way to seek the blood of their father. When did the (clans of) Asad and Taym become the guardians of the clan of Umayya? ! ’ They were cut-off at that.

Do not come out from your allegiances which you pledged of the obedience to Ali-asws, and do not get carried upon breaking his-asws allegiance, for it had the Pleasure of Allah-azwj. Weren’t your houses capacious enough until you came with the mother of the believers (Ayesha)? ! Strange of her differing with you two and (now) her travelling with you. Refrain yourselves from us and return to when you have come from, for we are no slaves of the ones who overcome, nor the first one to precede’. They thought of killing him, then refrained from him, and Ayesha had doubted during her journey and considered the fighting to be a mighty thing. So, she called her scribe Ubeydullah Bin Ka’ab Al-Numeyri. She said, ‘Write, ‘From Ayesha daughter of Abu Bakr to Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws’. He said, ‘This is a matter then pen cannot flow with it’. She said, ‘And why not? ! ’ He said, ‘Because Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws is the first in, and for him-asws with that is the beginning in the Book’. She said, ‘Write, ‘To Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, from Ayesha daughter of Abu Bakr. As for after, I am not unaware of your relationship from Rasool-Allah-saww, nor of your-asws being first in, nor of your-asws state from Rasool-Allah-saww, and rather I have come out to reconcile between my sons, nor do I want to battle you-asws, if you-asws were to refrain from these two men’ – among a lot of speech of her. But, I-asws did not answer her with a single word, and I delayed her answer (until she initiated the war). When Allah-azwj Judged the goodness for me-asws, I-asws t
