Hadith 133

(The book) ‘Al Majalis’ of Al Mufeed – Al Maraghy, from Al Hassan Bin Ali, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Marwan, from his father, from Is’haq Bin Yazeed, from Khalid Bin Mukhtar, from Al Amsh, from Habbat Al Urny who said, ‘I hear Huzeyfa Al-Yamani before the killing of Usman Bin Affan by a year, and he was saying, ‘It is as if I am with your mother Al-Humeyra (Ayesha) who has travelled, being ushered with her upon a camel, and you are taking with the sides, and the rear along with her are (clan of) Al-Azd. Allah-azwj will Enter them into the Fire, and their helpers are the clan of Zabya. May Allah-azwj Make their feet difficult’. He (the narrator) said, ‘When was the day of the camel and the people duelled with each other, a caller of Amir Al-Momineen-asws called out: ‘Not one of you should begin the fighting until I-asws order you all! ’
He (the narrator) said, ‘There were arrows shot among us. We said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! We have been shot at! ’ He-asws said: ‘Refrain! ’ Then we were shot at and they killed (some) from us’. We said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! They have killed us’. He-asws said: ‘Attack upon the Blessings of Allah-azwj’. He (the narrator) said, ‘We attacked upon them and some of us broke out among others with the spears until if a walker wanted to walk, he could have walked to it. Then a caller of Ali-asws called out: ‘Upon you is with the swords! ’ So, we went on to strike with these and it grew for us. He (the narrator) said, ‘A caller of Amir Al-Momineen-asws called out: ‘Upon you is with the marching ahead! ’ So, we had not seen any day which cut more feet than it. Then I remembered of Huzeyfa, ‘Their helpers are the clan of Zabya. May Allah-azwj Make their feet difficult’. So, I knew that it was a supplication answered. Then a caller of Amir Al-Momineen-asws called out: ‘Upon you is with the camel, for it is a Satan-la! ’ It was hamstrung by a man by his spear, and another man cut off one of its (hands) forelegs, and it knelt and growled, and Ayesha shrieked a severe shriek. The people turned around defeated. A caller of Amir Al-Momineen-asws called out: ‘You are not allowed (to attack) upon the injured, nor to pursue a fleer, and the one who closes his door, he is safe, and one who throws down his weapon, he is safe’’.
