Hadith 205

(The book) ‘Rijaal’ of Al Kashy – Ja’far Bin Marouf, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Al Numan, from his father, from Muaz Bin Matar, from Ismail Bin Al Fazl Al Hashimy who said, ‘It is narrated to me by one of the persons who said, ‘When Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws defeated the companions of the camel, Amir Al-Momineen-asws sent Abdullah Bin Abbas to Ayesha for her matter, with hastening the departure and little delay.
