Hadith 103

are the bravest of the horsemen of the Arabs. Are you taking cursing us as a Religion, and are you-asws viewing that, that would break us from you-asws? ’
When Khidash came over to Amir Al-Momineen-asws, he did what the two had instructed him with. When Ali-asws looked at him, and he was whispering to himself, he-asws laughed and said: ‘Over here, O brother (of the Clan of) Abd Qays! ’, and he-asws gestured to him to a seat near to him-asws. He said, ‘The place is wide enough, I want to deliver a message to you-asws’. He-asws said: But, eat and drink and loosen your clothes and apply oil, then deliver your message. Stand, O Qanbar, and lodge him! ’ He said, ‘And there is no need with me to anything from what you-asws mentioned’. He-asws said: ‘I-asws shall be alone with you’. He said, ‘Every secret is public to me’. He-asws said: ‘I adjure you with Allah-azwj Who is closer to you than yourself as a barrier between you and your heart.

He-asws said to him: ‘Say to both of them, ‘Both your speeches suffice as a proof against you, but Allah-azwj does not Guide the unjust people. You are both claiming that you are my-asws brethren in the Religion and sons of my-asws uncle regarding the lineage. As for the lineage, so I-asws cannot deny it and even though the lineage was cut-off, except what Allah-azwj has Linked it with. And as for your words that you are my-asws brothers in Religion, so if you are truthful, it was the Book of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic which the two of you separated from and you disobeyed His-azwj Command by your deeds regarding your brother-asws in the Religion or else so you have both lied and forged by your claims that you are my-asws brothers in the Religion.
